From all the other states in South Canada, no thank you.
The don't believe the holocaust was the wrong thing to do, but only that it was done to the wrong people.
I'm glad I'm not the only one that can smell this picture.
I think people are making the mistake of assuming "they" are a monolith. Each company sees itself as potentially benefiting from replacing all its staff with AI. The board goes into this with the assumption that the rest of the market will still function independent of their change. That same board also believes that everyone else is going to do the AI replacement trick and if they don't they'll be left behind. The decision is always for the company not the market though.

The productivity of labor is always directly correlated to the amount of capital invested. Better tools, better logistics, better training all make each person produce more per hour. There are tons of statistical data to back up your point.
It makes a lot of sense if you think about relative positions of power in Middle Earth. Gandalf won't even touch the ring for fear or it corrupting him, as he's one of the most powerful individuals walking the world. The elves won't either because they are right under him. But you get a lowly hobbit, who is physically half a man, and mostly just concerned with a quite life, and the ring is weak. But Frodo is basically nobility. Give it to the blue collar Samwise, and it has nothing.
Does anyone else think this sounds downright eloquent compared to Trump today? Like these are almost complete sentences. 2026 Trump is far less coherent.
Ok, but saying that does undercut the amount of decline that's happened in the last two years. His IQ is also in the mid-70s, but that doesn't completely account for the changes we've been seeing, and how he's gotten much worse, and much less stable, and much less inhibited in the last couple of years.
Vance also is slow, methodical, consistent and has fewer people pulling his strings. (Mostly Thiel). That would be a nice change of pace from Trump who has to have a new scandal happening every two weeks, and Trump's brain is mush so he's just constantly reacting to stuff in the stupidest way possible. Vance wouldn't be good, but he'd only be like 5x worse than Bush.
This one is better because it doesn't indicate shame to back out of the bad decisions. The Iran War was a fuck up. Not nuking Iran may have been him chickening out on his threat, but nobody wants him to no chicken out here. We don't want nuclear war. The Iran War was a fuckup, the threats were a fuckup. Don't carry through on the threats to triple down on the fuckup.Also I've heard it as:Trump Obviously Fucked Up.
Unfortunately the tape won't stick, it'll just peel off a bunch of his makeup. (Seriously though, that's one of the big reasons he wouldn't wear a mask during covid, because it would smear his makeup).
I'm hating that it feels like he was right for the wrong reasons. It feels like Obama brought out all the reactionary racists and gave us Trump which has subsequently seen America lose its place economically, diplomatically, militarily, and to what degree it had it, morally in world standing.
I would take what you've said a step further. It isn't that he's "incapable of telling the truth unless...", but rather he has no relationship with the truth. What he says is rhetoric that exists for the sake of his own power and ego. Truth never factors into the picture of anything he says, but sometimes he says things that align with the facts and he says true things as a result. Truth's connection to his words are always an accident, an afterthought.
For every fallout, there's a Rings of Power that's just bad, or Wheel of Time that gets canceled right as it starts to find its footing.
Yeah, I'm not hopeful. I think the choice not to do a reboot is a really bad one. SG1 had kind of ran out of bad guys to fight. They killed fake gods with alien tech, then they killed robots with the ability to reshape planets. Then they killed less fake gods with supernatural powers that transcended reality. There's no more escalation to go in the Milky Way galaxy. SG1 was about military going out and finding tech to protect the world, and they did it, they won.
I've said it before, but I'll restate it here. Trump is ignoring congress anyway. He's got the appointments he needs, he's got funding for his secret police. The person who 100% loses their job if the GOP loses the midterms isn't Trump, its Mike Johnson. But nobody cares about Mike Johnson, so he's trying to tie his fate to Trump's because he hopes that the MAGA faithful will save him from becoming irrelevant again. This is Mike whining about how he's going to lose his position as speaker.
If he won 26 cases out of 26 cases, I'm guessing that anyone who sued him for not being a lawyer had no damages to sue him for? If a guy pretends to be a lawyer, takes your case, and wins, what do you have to sue him over? Other lawyers might try to sue him for stealing their clients, but I don't know if they'd have standing over a potential, unprovable loss of business.
Can't shit your pants if you aren't wearing any. Modern problems require modern solutions and all that.
It was the Three Doors Down singer... apparently he was also against funding research for the cancer that ended up killing him.
This is like the third anti-medicine celebrity to have died in as many months. Scott Adams died pretty recently, and I feel like there was another major MAGA celeb that died from a cancer that he wanted research funding cut on, but the name doesn't come to mind.
Yeah, we need an entire overhaul on the constitution.
I think "aggression" is the better word. Violence against an aggressor is usually justifiable. Violence by being an aggressor is very rarely justifiable.
I think I'd say I'm anti-aggression. The guy defending a woman being assaulted is not comiting an aggression here, he's stepping in against an aggressor on behalf of a victim. Being pro or anti violence feels like it is asking a less clear question than asking about aggression.
With dogs, it doesn't feel particularly strange. We wouldn't be humans without dogs. We basically co-evolved and co-domesticated each other. We've had dog companions for almost as long as we've been "human" by some definitions of the species.
I said the same 4 years ago, but at this point I genuinely believe it is too late. I honestly think we need to put his corpse on trial in 4 years just to set precedent about his crimes so we can fast track them next time it happens.
I don't know that I'd say he is responsible for the people killed by ICE outside of MN. At least not until after it is very clear that Good's murder will go unpunished. And honestly if it wasn't him, Miller would have gotten someone else to provide justification. Not saying this to defend Shirley, but to point out that he's just not a major player, but a pawn.
One of those clips that I'd worry was AI today, but I know for a fact that it was around 5 years ago before AI could generate this.
eh... Trump is worse, but with the Senate as it is, you'd never get a conviction. Target the cabinet, build some momentum, get GOP senators to flip on Trump on the minions, then go for Trump himself.
Trump specifically would target small businesses for contract work on his real estate projects because then he'd stiff them on the bill and they couldn't afford the lawyers to fight him. There was a pretty striking story of one who had to settle for like 20% of the actual bill. He then emptied his bank account, sold his truck, paid his workers with whatever he had, and then killed himself.
