Avid coder, serial startup starter, and kinda indoorsy. There's a reason we invented plumbing.

"..IF approved by shareholder-beholden insurance companies."
The same group that screams about the untrustworthiness and super ineffectiveness of gov't asks "could maybe possible the gov't somehow maybe, if well designed, ship food well"?
Not sure where it came from, so apologies to the creator:
Should have added "retro". Dang it.
"Excel is a gridcore calcstyle formu-like" Me likey.
You consider the entire body of work known at this time. One first and major problem online is cherry-picking, the selection of data to fit the desired outcome. If someone is ignoring a wide swath of data, move on.
The MAGA GOP is also the first 2 of those three.
Why not go back into more indirect Dem-blaming and the Whigs?
Stop making him seem more fun than you, John.
It's all a multi-pronged assault on a public service by profiteering ghouls like the DeVos and Walton clans.
Why? Because you have to navigate between the anti-vaxxers MAGAs and the capitalist pharma MAGAs.
Exactly. Relying on absolute numbers should always raise a red flag in the reader.
Well, they say instant gratification is a societal problem.
Remember, in a republic, your vote gets filtered through three layers of oligarchy before being disregarded.
Well, he's stopping people from escalating out. (He may have misunderstood his orders.)
I find it visually annoying.
I don't think there's much point in going on since you seem purposely intent on missing the point in favor of literalism.
Ok, change it to an NFL player instead of a banker, instead of forcing a way to discredit the analogy. (Which, honestly, is a cheap way out of discussing the point.)
"You must have kids when you are uncertain you want to have kids!" makes even less sense.
Her popularity is primarily with US libertarians, which are mostly rightwing-aligned and funded by laissez-faire billionaires, and desperate for content to popularize. Also, she was rather dogmatic, which both attracts some strongly and alienates others.
They weren't making money while they mispriced the rental, though.
And, "the university" never seems to include places like Liberty, Hillsdale, Brigham Young, Utah State, and the various Mercer, Koch and other funded named centers.
It takes a lot of material to stuff MAGA-style lips.
I see. I may have misunderstood. I thought you were in favor of the, at best, circumstantial lab leak story?
I think we may be understanding the thread differently. Michael says the GOP is lying. Someone follows up that they seem to agree with the report ("maybe it's just me" seems in opposition to Michael?)
You think a mythological story is a reason to jail people?
It's very calculable: 0 + 0 + 0 + 0...
He forgot Rage Against The Machine, Bruce Springsteen, Starship Troopers...
There's a significant uptick in the attacks on the EU by American rightwing punditry on Twitter.
"Timmy, before denying the ice cream theft, note our drone footage at 7:43 PM. While some claim it violates Katz, we argue your backyard sundae was in plain view. Do you assert a reasonable expectation of privacy in this dessert-related precedent?"
"Sweetie, if I ask you whether you really finished your homework, and I do so while withholding dessert, can your response truly be voluntary under the fifth’s protection against compelled self-incrimination, or are we entering the murky territory of coercive interrogation as in Miranda v. Arizona?"
"Sweetie, when Mommy asked if you ate the last cookie and you stayed silent while staring at the crumbs on your shirt—would you say that was a voluntary confession or were you feeling unduly pressured by the power dynamic inherent in our snack-time interrogation protocols?"
Really lives up to his alias tho

The Devour Feculence Theory.
The great majority support abortion and aren't racist, but we really need to make that Even Bigger Tent for Dems by getting that little segment of the Racist-Pro-Abortion intersection.
We'll get a prequel and a one-season-per-backstory in some order. This is how you milk a franchise now.
They'll expend her and try it with another kook. Unfortunately, there's always an endless supply of them.
This is still veiled and cagey. Exactly what information did Musk reveal that is relevant to the point? Do you think Musk is an unbiased, objective, and complete source of information?
They all do. Can you be more explicit about the specific point you are making here?
Simple. He's not in the rightwing billionaire in-group.
They can go ahead and deploy them, I'mma go ahead and not use them.
Sincere is not inherently synonymous with correct.
Or, it's the hallmark corporatism of the 1940s of a specific country in Europe.
The Elongularity.
"The photos I saw taken by my Canadian girlfriend..."
Those are the norms of the past, buddy. Now, we just hate to hate.
Not all heroes wear Haidt
Rust Belt economic hardship began in the 1960s. NAFTA in the mid-90s.
The Rust Belt's issues started in the 1960s and accelerated in the 1970s. NAFTA started in the mid-90s.
👋Fellow Democrats, the party needs to rethink all the anti-tariff absolutism. I’m a Rust Belt Democrat from swingy Western PA—where lousy trade deals like NAFTA stripped us for parts. Democrats need to break free from the zombie horde of neoliberal economists who think tariffs are always bad. 🧵
We should put tariffs on imported Canadian racists.
Is it really that hard for them? It's got to be willing absolvency at this point.
They aren't pathetic, supine people. They are active participants. They think they'll bank big on this somehow.
They'll redefine the metric.
Their hope is when they find out that Republican Classic will ruin your health(care), they hope everyone switches to Diet Republican.
I didn't know a complete lack of interest in governing and seeing the Office as a vehicle for vast personal enrichment meant "realist" to you. Good to know.
Let's assume her vague and ill-defined crisis is real. What's the solution, Miriam?
He's firing your sister so he can fund his tax cuts.
What specific "identity politics" pissed you off precisely?
"You killed me and my family because I insecurely thought you were condescending to me, and therefore, I had to do the opposite of what you said to do."
He wants legal protection from felony charges for as long as he's alive.
Who?
They are afraid about everything small all the time. So tiresome.
"I must have access to the incessant lying!"
BREAKING: FBI (Federal Body Inspectors) just approved Horny Goat Weed! We've thoroughly examined the evidence and it definitely RISES to the occasion. #StandTallAmerica
Yet another weak-kneed, teenage-petulance variant of "It's society's fault I'm awful."
It's like all of the worst that can be found in airport management books was wrapped up in one person.
Given that it will be analyzed by AI since there are tens of thousands of workers, use AI to generate something performance oriented.
He can't attack you directly, so he focused on some (mythical?) followers who took it upon themselves to harass him. IMO, I wouldn't bother entertaining his weaker-kneed stuff.
They have made some decent stuff.
Why not rephrase more truthfully: "Will you bend over and accept your illegally-dictated fate, scientist peon?"
No. Democrats, first and foremost, need to create a good, crosscutting, but lean (i.e., not spendy, read the audience) platform, enable charismatic, energetic leadership and get out there. You can't go negative only.
Could make for so many great headlines! "No Taxation For Coronation?" "Declaration Of Dependence Signed!" "Red, White, and Royal Blue?" "The Tea Has Been Returned"
Give it a few hours.
Various disenfranchised groups: "Can we just be equal? Can you stop disrespecting us?" TCW: "There goes the Left overplaying their hand!"
If there's more than one sentence, there's more than I want to know.
Right? We're approaching the Singularity, where we all join in a hive mind, but we want a bigger hive.
I don't understand this obsession with replacement rates. Even with the US' 1.6 rate (thanks to horrible GOP policies) and assuming no migration, we'd still be 200M people 60 years from now! I don't get the insane hyperbole.
"the DOGE algortihms"
May be bar and ethics rules?
If you think of it as a very sophisticated, conversational search engine, then you're closer to the current state of the art.
I was writing code today. I'm a multi-decade engineer. Knew what I was doing. Out of curiosity, I asked Claude and ChatGPT in parallel. Old references, code that didn't work, bad engineering ideas, etc. I can only imagine the havoc wreaked by me using it in a domain I don't know.
I have complete faith that the bad-take writers would find another way to whine anyway.
When did Greta force any budgetary changes in the US?
I don't understand how they have the authority to block Senators.
"They don't have anything we need so we should make then another state!"
Hegseth is to Trump like Saruman is to Sauron.
I don't know that it's a direct effect. More like a catalyst for inherent insecurities and weaknesses. There are some quiet, open-minded rich folks.
It's funny that they always complain about Harvard but not Hillsdale, Liberty, Brigham Young, Bob Jones, etc. "Everyone, and by extension, every university must produce students that think like me!"
So, let them use their shares of their profits and dividends to speak as individual people. Do not allow the company to speak as an expendable line item.
Did *you* read the case... for, you know, actual comprehension?
I'll leave you unblocked because I'm not closed-minded and would love to hear your unpopular interpretation.
I read it and told you my interpretation which is the majority. Your opinion is the minority one. But, ok, block me if that truth bruises you.
