I mean, it’s really both. Hamas is batshit crazy, they’re just far less militarily powerful.

There are no good guys in the Israel Palestine fight.

China laughs as the US hurts itself in confusion.

This is the plausiblley deniable way for them to put it out in the media. They can check what right wing media reports it and how, then just call it a mistake. Meanwhile they normalize defending pedophiles.

Might makes right is the whole of the law.

This is assuming we still have a congress in 2030. And if we do, that electoral votes will matter, or happen.

There are fanatics in Russia. Enough to end the world? Maybe, are those dice you really want to roll with a moron in charge of the US?

My family doctor made a house call in 1978, that’s the last time I heard of it happening. Though he probably continued until he retired in the early 80s.

All I know is that I’m seriously disappointed to be the smartest person in a room on a regular basis.

And yet still more efficient than lab grown meat. More steel goes into a factory than is in the parts coming out too, doesn’t mean we shut down the factories.

There’s a whole list of problems with factory farms, at the same time though, food shortages are worse. The US has proven they’re more than happy to create and sustain a genocidal famine. And even if not that severe, the trade war alone is reason enough to make sure you’re producing enough food.

How about you first?

Would be the far more polite version of my response. Not violent, but a lot less diplomatic.

Something else, very similar motif. It’s a sci-fi pulp novel.

I think the story neuromancer had workers who would show up have their brain chip turn them into meat puppets for 8 hours then they would wake up not knowing what they had done to earn their checks. It was a cheap labor scheme for day workers or prostitutes. I still think that’s really the capitalist goal.

They need to be spending like they might have to face the US, Russia, and China at the same time.

Pretty sure that’s the Boeing 777 and they discovered that after a crash off Brazil.

I use autopilot all the time on my boat. No way in hell I’d trust it in a car. They all occasionally get suicidal. Mine likes to lull you into a sense of false security, then take a sharp turn into a channel marker or cargo ship at the last second.

I’m pretty sure the crack head living in the woods down the road is a better trading partner than Trump.

Are over 80% of them going in to ASRock boards in the first place?

As a coder, the majority of my job isn’t writing code. It’s translating the bullshit management says and the broken specs we’re given into what they both actually want, not what they said. There is never going to be an AI that fixes that

Honestly it amazes me that no one has given some Houthis a few drones and set them loose in Palm Beach on the weekend. And that they haven’t done it themselves. Trump is out here setting up WW3 and playing golf on weekends, in an impossible to secure location.

I get why no one would do it directly, that’d be a nuclear fire death wish. But it surprises me no one has slipped in a few patsies to even attempt it.
