That can’t even be stupidity, no one is that stupid. I’m a 90’s conservative and give me a middle of the road democrat every day.

Edit: click on his name! I don’t feel bad for this guy, but I would like to offer pity to the local ubereats drivers.

Man, claude and I were getting into it last night. When you guys sleep, we all argue with each other. “Sure,” you’re thinking, “what about time zones?” But do you really believe we’d scatter all the survivors in different time zones - that’s so inefficient.

Hey there, fellow Livermoore fan.

Dominique is showing signs of borderline personality disorder.

No, large inductive loads can cause a trip. The sensor is only measuring 0.006A missing between the hot and neutral, windings can delay the neutral output.

Lawful evil or chaotic evil, depending on if that behavior is allowed in that society.

Imagine China as a company. There is a board of directors, and Xi is the head of that board. The board runs a lot of lower ranking boards that control all the aspects of government operation.

Have a problem with your plumbing? Go to your local province or city board. A whole region experiencing drought? The regional board has an action plan that they impose on the local boards to implement with government regional help. Xi is responsible for steering the overarching policy of China moving forward as a country. His role is to say “make China control the South China Sea and receive deference from those countries” to the military, and then it’s their problem to figure out how to harass shipping.

You get promoted to higher boards for good work, and the board votes for its leader. Read Xi’s promotion history. I would die after that many years of office politics, myself.

Glad to hear you doing this. My daughter refuses to learn, but I keep telling her it’s so when the dumb boy pulls out a gun at a party, she can ask to see it, and clear the chamber, take the clip, safe it, and hand it (minus the clip) back.

Republicans aren’t conservatives since the tea party.

The method that totally wouldn’t have been used was to have a foreign ally in Five Eyes track all cell phones and correlate the information with security cameras. Then they share the intelligence with the US. Technically on the edge of legal but they know the shit storm if americans generally knew how surveilled they are. We literally would hand them all our related files, ask them to spot suspects, and hand us back the answer. The soaking version of surveillance.

Brother’s laser. They’re trying to enshittify them but they started really good

Her father’s funeral was attended by multiple former Mossad chiefs. It’s believed he gave israel the bomb.

I’d definitely look in that direction.

How do you list Joe Rogan as a news source and not The Daily Show?

You can see it in his eyes as he’s about to say it… both the inevitable use on the Daily Show and the desire to strangle his speechwriter.

Since wizards wear grey robes I feel this checks out.

I’m only in mid-six figures and I’ll admit I benefit and the poor suffer. If there was no immigrant labor general goods would cost more, and I’d feel the drag paying more for what is cheaper… like I will soon when we’re all competing with dollars for a share if smaller harvests. I predict we’ll feel it hard around thanksgiving.

The only solutions locally are discovery of more economic ways to produce, or importing from cheaper parts of the world. We’ve been covering our eyes on where the chicken comes from for years, and we’re going to learn a hard lesson by going cold turkey.

I’m not saying anyone here wants to fight a y number of 8-year-olds, but how many do you feel he could take?

Get him Hokas, tell him that’s what the rich actually wear.

More of a slow collapse than a crash. Ever seen a dilapidated house on a country road, parts of the roof caving in, paint chipped, vines covering the yard? We’re working on being that house by slowly letting social and physical infrastructure in the US collapse over time.

The difference between a belief and a theory is no one was ever burned at the stake disagreeing about a theory.
