  1. Whoa! You mean Elon Musk got to meet HIM!?! Golly. Can't believe I missed that!!
  2. No, they are not. When you venture into the realm of fiction then literally anything can be used to explain. Maybe it's true only when purple unicorns fart in front of leprechauns, for example.
  3. Society as a whole. Words and terms and their applicable uses evolve with time. This is natural and has happened for thousands of years or more. Perhaps a better question is why are so many insecure people worried about other people and how they define themselves? Why not just acknowledge their view is different from yours and go on with your day? Fear. Stupidity. Tribalism. Hatred. These explanations all seem to fit the response here, and it's challenging to think of better explanations for the ridiculous response. Bruce is now Loretta. Who cares other than the ignorant?
  4. This is sadly representative of and ridiculously similar to the meltdown happening across the right in the US ATM regarding Taylor Swift and the super secret democratic master plan to fix the outcome of the NFL playoffs so the deep state can prevent Trump from regaining his rightful place in the oval office.
  5. Depends entirely on how YOU define “best”
  6. I don't disagree, but funding is clearly not limitless so focus areas must be prioritized.
  7. You're completely right, and I began to realize this myself a few hours after my post. The numbers Charon cited are in the trillions, and lobbying is nowhere near that... In fact, any lobbying expenditures are likely already looped into the "sales and operational costs" bucket. It's still a considerable amount of money spent on lobbying and makes a considerable impact on both our legislation and our lives, but it clearly can't touch the broader marketing and ad spends which are themselves nearly double what's spent on R&D
  8. So will very many very poor and poverty stricken people. Guns are often a religion in the US, but those practicing it are hardly Mandalorians.
  9. Deficits in social skills and coping strategies plus spikes in anxiety and depression… IMO
  10. That’s weird since including babies there are only about 330M Americans alive and that’s higher now than at any time across history. Correct. It is. The standard of the military is killing enemies. The standard for citizens is NOT killing their neighbors. Yeah. Those Blackhawk helicopters with their hellfire missiles will become impotent against uncle Jim Bob and his AR Sadly, this bedrock has been blasted and fracked for reasons of avarice and grift and earthquakes are spreading across the justice system like ripples through a scummy pond.
  11. Lobbying is a massive expense line item too
  12. Plus fear and scapegoating and “other-ism” There are, of course, exceptions, but the overall trend is and has been for a very long time exactly as you say.
  13. Rightly, so. Democrats are doing everything possible to get the help available while GOP blocks it to satisfy a rabid jingoistic base, and GOP controls the HoR. haven’t watched your video, tho
  14. You misspelled imagination
  15. No, it is not… especially not in the cold. Putting in a 220V service for some welding or a big blue power hammer or something?
  16. IMO, he was basically suffocated to death.
  17. Cost matters here. Of course the more powerful tech tends to replace the outdated tech. This is true across the sector and across history. The key limiting factor is how affordable we can make it and how broadly it can be distributed across society.
  18. The type of size measurement considered is also relevant. Overall volume seems to be less important than total surface area and complexity of the folds and convolutions, etc. Also, "intelligence" is a highly variable and oftentimes nebulous concept. Artists are often intelligent in different ways than mathematicians and plumbers are often intelligent in different ways from chefs or chemists, for example.
  19. Maybe but probably not
  20. If only that were the only post you’d ever made here then perhaps the total failure to consider any context and broader historical posting trends might be more appropriate. But alas, you have made more than one post.
  21. He’s definitely getting better at this. FiveThirtyEight reports that he’s begun actively surrounding himself with prominent well placed leaders from South Carolina as a direct attempt to undercut any credit Haley might seize due to her time there as Governor.
  22. And yet his attacks on Bidens age stick and his supporters don’t care about his.
  23. Remains the same relative to what/whom? Your point isn’t badly explained. It’s wrong.
