The F-35 would be good if they hadn’t wasted so much time and energy and weight on having a pilot in it. On board pilots are a complete waste.

(Plus I bet dollars to doughnuts every F-35 we’ve sold to an “ally” has a secret switch somewhere to turn it into a drone.)

It would be impressive if it didn’t have a meat sack in it that needs climate control and fresh air and not to turn to hard…

there’s a reason the F-16 and F/A-18 are still the major US workhorses in the skies. (And of course my favorite the A-10 for blowing shit up on the ground.)

totally exonerated!

aww they’re writing stories now to try to refute the “President Musk” narrative. Too bad the facts on the ground don’t match the “Trump told Musk to attack” malarkey. It’s absolutely clear that Musk is in charge and Trump just followed along with “yeah what he said!”

well if they’re talking cyber only maybe i could see it, but the people working in our courts aren’t part of the problem Luigi lashed out against.

It’s an obvious to meant to make us waste time not fighting the near term fights. Bannon is an idiot, we should ignore this and focus on getting ready to resist and insist starting Jan 20th at noon.

“A kid being sick is one thing”

You just wrecked your whole argument and put the flaw to OP and all the kid-free people here.

If your opinion is that “a kid being sick is one thing” then all we’re talking about here is degree of consideration, not whether to consider or not.

OP and others here are acting like having a kid is some get out of work card. “This one weird trick drives bosses insane!!”

It very well may be the case that parents get a little more grace, but chances are that the boss has kids too. Because it starts with “a kid being sick is one thing.”

It looks like the “they’re both the same” disinformation from the hexbear side of the internet made a pretty strong impression. I’m not going to call it determinative by any means but it put some weight on the scale.

I think attempting to court Never Trump voters and Haley voters was penalty the biggest mistake. They could’ve spent that time and energy trying to win workers, getting their messaging to be more “real person” instead of focus grouped.

Like, the real solution was for Biden not to run for re-election at least, and at most to resign in February 2023 or right after signing the Infrastructure Law or chips.

And to prevent legal entities owning other legal entities owning apartments

This is one huge issue I have with our current end stage capitalistic system. If corporations are “people” then how can they own other corporations, which are also “people” right?

If shareholders want to own shares in multiple companies, they can still do that.

you could use that $50k to pay for one night at the hospital that your insurance won’t cover!

can we put these on a deck of playing cards for no particular reason…?

This is the correct answer. This was my position on Snowden and Assange as well.

One of the things that made King such a powerful foil to the status quo was his willingness to submit to the legal system. It put it in everyone’s faces, what was going on in America.

This guy should turn himself in very publicly and go to trial so he can be acquitted by a jury.

(I believe he should be tried but he definitely shouldn’t be convicted or punished.)

I wouldn’t see any of the current “big boys of dictatorship” picking this avenue for destabilizing the US. Rich evil assholes like this dead piece of shit CEO are the best friends of these dictators. Putin, Kim, Xi, and the rest need these rich evil pieces of shit to stay in power, so they’re definitely not going to threaten them en masse.

That’s not to say Putin, Kim, and Xi unconditionally protect those rich evil assholes. Hell they’ll murder one every once in a while just to assert dominance.

To destabilize the US though they’ll do more subtle stuff, little if any of which will hurt their rich evil piece of shit friends.

and in the fine print “in network claims” so imagine what the out of network ones would be

thanks!

stuff like this I actually don’t mind.

Someone had to look at these research papers - assuredly more than one - about (in this case) the effects of steroid abuse in teens. They had to understand the gist of that research. Then they had to create a pithy one liner that conveys that gist, albeit arguably dishonestly.

That’s way better than “windmills cause cancer” or “migrants are eating pets.”

I’m all for the trend of badly summarizing important clinical research, because we can correct that. At least we have a better chance of correcting that than pure lies.

Edison seemed to know it was important to leave science to scientists and engineering to engineers. Musk seems constitutionally incapable of respecting expertise.

I’m sure Edison interfered here and there, it’s human nature to monkey with things.

But to the level of Phony Stark? No way.

unfortunately I don’t think Bre-admittance would be nearly as easy as Brexit

i don’t agree that he’s a fake. He’s a liar, a fraudster, a con man, a grifter, a showman, but always his authentic self as those things.
