And that’s assuming the headline you’re reading even has any bearing on the actual article, or that the article itself is factual, both of which are increasingly more common worries now.

It’s almost like when someone completely guts a project in order to intentionally make it fail, the project is likely to fail.

For comparison, take a look at the Netherlands, who implemented the idea successfully.

How about three casinos, two casino holding companies and a hotel?

I’m pretty sure if you handed me all those I would be actually incapable of fucking them over as hard as Trump did. Like, even if I actively tried. He is such poison to everything that the buildings that print money with no effort just stopped printing money under his command.

This, but no /s. He’s evaporated $35 billion from Twitter and is convincing conservatives to buy electric vehicles. I might like him about as much as I’d like a tick on my nutsack, but he is accomplishing things that align with my goals.

Neat, can’t wait to miss it.

Starfield has fundamental issues that no amount of modding or DLC is going to repair. I don’t think I’ve ever been less excited for a content update for a game I own.

You hang out in the wrong liberal circles, then. We may be pacifists but we are not helpless. I won’t throw the first punch to someone else but if they bring it to me you can be damn sure that I’m going to throw the last one, or die trying.

many of them are young, have lots of experience with firearms, and know how to coordinate.

So emulate them. A threat is on the horizon. Will you see it coming and lay down for it? Or will you prepare yourself? Your people may need you.

They fully expect to roll into a city in a fleet of lifted F250’s and drive a herd of fleeing vegans before them without having to lift a finger. The fact that liberals can and will defend their homes isn’t an idea that’s crossed their mind. The things that “country folks” believe about “city folks” would boggle the mind.

Bootstraps ran out back in the 60’s, we’ve just been getting shoelaces

If it were anyone other than him, literally dropping dead in Congress because of the passion of your speech would be one of the most based things a politician could ever do.

But with Mitch you know he’d keel over arguing about how school kids don’t actually need food.

Bernie did it in 2010 for 8 and a half straight hours.

I got mine smack in the middle of a boss fight in Remnant 2 lol, but my build is stupidly tanky enough that I was able alt-tab close it fast enough to not even die. Felt a little proud of that.

Fake news, the JD stands for Jorkin DePeanus

The whole reason the shell game wank is an attractive prospect in the first place is a question of who watches the watchmen. If your trusted central authority gets compromised, will you know? And if you know, will you be able to do anything about it?

I don’t exactly think that cryptocoin is the best solution in this regard, but I can at least respect the attitude behind how it came to be.

What core utilities does Firefox need that it doesn’t have? Honest question. I’ve been using it over a decade and never had it fail to do something I asked it to, and I’m a little out of the loop on the web browser development news cycle beyond the recent wave of Google Bad.

The electricity grid, on the other hand, already exists

…largely in the same appalling, copper-line state it has been in since its original installation 100 years ago. Which is woefully and catastrophically unprepared for an America full of EV drivers.

Not disagreeing with your core point, but just saying. The American electrical backbone system is absolutely in no way prepared for a mass shift to electric vehicles at this time. We’re getting there, and if EV adoption continues at its current pace we run a pretty good chance of being fine so long as proper upgrades are actually being made, but we’re not there yet and demand for EVs absolutely could still outpace the ability of our electrical infrastructure to support them.

First one, then the other, and that’s why Kroger is getting their asses sued off by the FTC under Biden appointee Lina Khan. The avian flu issue was a legitimate supply/demand squeeze for a little while, until it wasn’t, and Kroger didn’t back down an inch, so the FTC is stepping in.

Makes me wonder what will happen on Jan 6, 2025 if the shutdown continues - who pays for the National Guard folks, Capitol police officers, and so on?

This is a really big, serious problem that I didn’t even think about at first. Holy shit. Dollars to donuts this was a major consideration in the timing.

I had Mint up and running within an hour of deciding I was going to do so. Nvidia drivers gave me a bit of trouble but I had those solved in another hour. It really is that easy.

And “the American experiment” took place in a world that didn’t contain mass surveillance systems, automatic firearms, remote control attack drones, EMPs, radar trackers, and god knows what other military secrets that can be brought to bear. A second American revolution is guaranteed to be extremely bloody, has a much lower chance of success than the first one, and nobody wants to be on the first wave of it.

Besides, the stakes are different now. The American Revolution succeeded largely on the back of the fact that the rebels in question were all the way across the ocean and not taking land from Britain directly. That’s no longer an option.

I see the point you’re trying to make here but you’re ignoring an awful lot of context both for the original American Revolution and also for the modern day.

Don’t worry, the wiki nerds have been keeping a list.
