  1. Especially if/when you’re trans, black, jewish, gay, liberal, and all of the great many other groups so often culturally dehumanized.
  2. Please assume I'm not following your rant... logic. How is this equivalent to him "admitting it is not going to help?" Can you please elaborate?
  3. When Steve Jobs did it, they described it as his “reality distortion field.” I have no doubt we can minimize waste if we choose to. We usually choose profit though.
  4. You’ve summed up the way Trump voters feel about Biden quite accurately.
  5. More likely IMO is he sees how slow the pace of the hardware production has become, how shortages are everywhere unable to scale with massive and still accelerating demand, and he wishes to get key players thinking in a fundamentally bigger way and to act to meet the need as he defines it. Reach for the stars, maybe you’ll get lucky and reach the moon. That sort of thing.
  6. Just gonna highlight for you how none of these are mine. You can tell bc there’s no X button to undo it Retaliating against someone who did nothing to you strikes me as asymmetric.
  7. Yes I’m gonna call it Loretta. You keep neg repping me. It’s weird, and seems to bolster my core position that you’re just grinding axes and soapboxing.
  8. Probably doesn’t much matter since he’ll just claim it was stolen from him when he loses and his supporters will prove it with their bullets and blades.
  9. Sellers have asking prices. Altman is looking to be a buyer in this situation
  10. Trillion. T Yes correct, but you missed some then repeated the mistake again AFTER making this edit
  11. Ours, apparently. The trolling and rubbing of other people’s faces into the dirt is the entire point… reinforcing their “otherness.” Politicians preaching belonging and community require extra security protection and therapy after all the death threats.
  12. I don’t see any engineering here (other than maybe a smear campaign and soapbox construction)
  13. Some say it wasn’t a gaff, but instead a cheap shot suggesting she’s so insufferable that her spouse would rather be in Africa soldiering
  14. There’s likely benefit in additional practice of your moving on skills, as not everyone enjoys continued beatings of deceased equines as much as you seem to.
  15. I think you shouldn’t be allowed to be president if you don’t sleep well because cognitive function declines when tired. Also, presidents can’t be allowed to drink camomile tea or take melatonin for the same reason. Oh, and no turkey. Even though it’s been debunked, it has tryptophan so you’re not eligible now either.
  16. I saw your joke and also corrected your premise. Those aren’t mutually exclusive.
  17. It’s a way to camouflage unpopular parts of legislation with their base. In a big bill there are (as you already know) many different items. Some are popular. Some are unpopular. When politicians go home to speak with constituents, they can claim they really hated PartA but decided the benefit of PartB was worth it. It provides them with some cover among a group of voters who are rabid and ready to attack / vote for someone else at any moment.
  18. “Donald Trump is a poor man's idea of a rich man, a weak man's idea of a strong man, and a stupid man's idea of a smart man.” He’s a Rorschach test where everyone sees whatever they want inside the blob.
  19. Transformations are hard, and we’re in the middle of one right now. We are experiencing (and in some cases advocating) the change. The sad part is it will never be as hard for us to adjust how we apply our words and alter our language during the transition as it is for people trying desperately to be authentic with who they are within a society who hates and so often wants to hurt them and strip away their rights merely for doing so.
  20. Which is why Andrew Yangs popularization of Universal Basic Income was so appealing to so many. If we guarantee a minimum basic floor for all citizens then we can tap into enormous potential growth. You know what they say, “If you've met one individual with autism, you've met one individual with autism.”
