I thought we already knew that?

But either way, this is what we need: for the Right to balkanize and start publicly attacking each other. The Democrats are totally ineffectual at this sort of thing and the news will only report on it if the right wing does it anyway.

Edit: I got my wires crossed, we havent seen the epstein files, but we do know he [most likely] raped a 13 year old girl at an Epstein-related function https://www.courthousenews.com/rape-allegations-refiled-against-trump/

Gotchu

He has 15 total “experiences” (i.e. jobs/internships), all of which are either normal jobs a kid might have or interning in state government/working with trumps campaign for a couple months at a time, all of which you might expect of a kid who wants to get into law/politics. He started work 5 years ago mowing his neighbors’ lawns. Completely unremarkable. Education is a BA in “politics and law” from UT San Antonio and he did a summer “economics program” at George Mason.

Oh and his time working at the grocery store overlaps with his internships with politicians. So he either lied about the length of his employment, wasn’t doing full-time internships, or wasn’t working a significant number of part-time hours at the grocery store.

I invite you to look at his work history, the closest thing he has to national security experience is as a “cross functional team member” at a grocery store 2 years ago

And Mike Johnson tells his son every time he cums

I guess, if they answer “No” or “Your simple rebuttal has made me realize the problem of free will is nbd actually”.

But if they say “Yes. It does matter.” Then suddenly it isn’t defeated and you’d need to provide a compelling argument for it not mattering, which would make for good conversation.

Add another one for the ugly fucking tailoring job on that suit.

True that. Our tax dollars could be spent much more effectively if our government was more focused on the wellfare of its people.

It could be less doomsday, but not in any way they’d show in a propaganda movie.

1. reform copyright law to have shorter windows where stuff is out of the public domain

2. create a public AI R&D agency, prevent and criminalize the private development of AI on any non-public domain assets

3. train the public AI on only public domain assets and release it freely to the public for non-commercial use (to run locally and on publicly funded data centers).

4. Grant commercial licenses to businesses. But require majority employee approval (democratically) for any use of AI that would take existing human jobs - would ideally lead to employee buyouts, re-skilling into new jobs, etc.

5. for any licensed profession (lawyers, doctors, engineers in some places, etc) make it so the full burden of any mistake made due to negligent AI use rests on the individual. Like how lawyers keep submitting bad documents to the courts - citing fake cases that AI made up, etc.: they should potentially be disbarred.

You get other benefits though. Like the few social safety nets we actually have, public school funding, social security (unless it runs out/gets cut), fire departments, regulatory agencies that keep your food, water, and drugs safe. Etc. It costs a lot of money to have a society. Even if you don’t directly benefit from them, they still make society less shit.

That said, it’d cost a lot less if we didn’t spend so much of it murdering children.

Oh I’m just… a … regular type dude >!.. with a big-ass dick!<

Depends on your goals. I’d say learn the one you have the most use for. If you don’t have a use and are just learning for fun, then pick the most interesting one. If you’re learning intending to acquire the language as quickly as possible, then either Italian or French would be good choices.

I am learning Chinese (mandarin, aka 汉语, aka 普通话) and I personally find it very logical, interesting, and fun as a native english speaker who used to be conversationally fluent in Spanish. There are definite difficulties with the language (soooooo many homonyms, characters (汉子) take some getting used to, tones, etc) but if you learn it, there is a lot of reading material and media that will become accessible to you. Additionally some things about it are easier than other languages - like the grammar is very simple, you don’t have to worry about conjugations and tenses as much. Also, I think that it provides more cognitive benefits because of how different it is to romance languages.

汉语是很酷。我推荐你！

Except, since each vote toward good/rotten is binary, it really means that a high score is not “best” but is instead “least objectionable”

It’s illegal unless there’s a bonafide occupational qualification that your disability prevents you from performing. Like you couldn’t apply for a job as a furniture mover if you’re a quadriplegic and cry discrimination when they don’t select you. And the employer can ask things like “this job requires that you lift heavy objects of up to 600lbs with the assistance of another person and a back brace. Do you have any medical or other reason you could not perform these duties?”.

Now if that weren’t a real occupational qualification, that’d be discriminatory. Like if they said you had to be a man for that moving job - there’s no reason you have to be a man, you just have to be able to move 600lb things.

Women also are more involved in the sexual assault of children than most people realize, but they are extremely underreported (due to patriarchal biases in our society, largely). Men still commit more offenses, but patriarchy is a double-edged sword in that it causes more women to be victimized and also protects female perpetrators of violence from punishment.

That said, men still commit much more violent crime and we should do better as a society to prevent that through social programs, education, etc.

Pro-tip: replace the water in your instant ramen with coffee to make it taste like shit.

Sleepy Trump is what we’re going with? Not Dozin’ Donald? Not Drowsy Donnie? Not Tired Trump? Not Tuckered Out Trump?

I love that SoCal is the midwest now

But they weren’t for the purpose of killing. They were for the purpose of keeping people alive and contolled for forced labor. Auschwitz existed to exterminate people, so death/extermination camp is a word that conveys that meaning. Dachau largely existed to keep people alive (temporarily) for forced labor, but we wouldn’t call Dachau a plantation. It wasn’t someone’s private property with a big manor house on it and people they bought and kept for slave labor.

Plantations may be (are) romanticized in some places among some people, but that word means something specific. If we want to coin a new word without the baggage of it being romanticized, okay. But it’s going to be hard to convey that precise meaning with new words. Imo it’d be be better to call them plantations but do a better job educating people (especially white people in the south) that plantations were very fucked up and were a type of forced labor camp.

That said, labels do shape perception - especially among poorly educated people who just have a passing knowledge of the thing in question. Like if it were common to call the civil war “the war of northern aggression” like some people in the South historically have, that would be inaccurate as a label and would be misleading.
