It’s like when your brother finally gives up drugs. You don’t forgive or forget all the terrible stuff that they’ve done, but you welcome the person you knew before the drugs back. At least what’s left of them. MTG doesn’t deserve forgiveness but she deserves respect for admitting that she was wrong and walked back. It wasn’t her idea to do any of this and I’m sure if things went differently she’d still be by his side but an ally is better than an enemy.
…America won’t remember. Next week people will be saying “Alex who?”
I mean I’m okay with that.
Because we’ve always been at war with Oceania. If the media doesn’t toe the party’s line Donald Trump will sue them for five billion dollars. Because we’ve always been at war with Eurasia.
Hey! Don’t bring whores into this! They don’t deserve to pickup strays cause of this puppy killer.
Embedded contract work. A lot of places have seen the benefits of keeping a small labor pool and expanding capacity with contract workers only when needed. It’s a lot cheaper to contract a person to work for a year and have them figure out their vacation and benefits than it is to hire an employee you need to keep on. You can terminate the contract at anytime, no severance pay. They need to figure out coverage for their vacation and if they can’t it’s their problem. Same with them being sick, the contract says they’ll find someone to fill that position. If they get injured it doesn’t reflect on your insurance. Plus they need the job so they stay on year to year. You can even contract them for less the next year, can’t do that to an employee.
“Well good news folks, problem solved. You need to be a person to be a pedophile and Grok isn’t a person. Therefore Grok can’t be found liable for anything it does. Therefore it’s safe and won’t risk me being litigated. Therefore it’s safe as is for kids. I don’t know why everyone got so upset.” Says Elon Musk. /S but also not/s.
The ones worth watching in my opinion are, The Next Generation, Deep Space Nine, Voyager, finally Strange New Worlds and Lower Decks together. As for The Original Series, Enterprise, Discovery, Cadets, Picard, and the rest can be skipped. The Original Series is fun to go back to but it’s so unlike the rest I can’t get into it.
Also jury nullification. Doesn’t matter if the verdict the jury delivers is guilty or innocent, so long as the jury says one thing and thinks another it’s jury nullification.
No unfortunately it’s the future consequences. We’ve already passed the +2c of global warming two and a half decades earlier than expected. Which was the threshold for significant but not world ending effects if we had hit it in 2050. At our current pace we’re looking at the near worst case scenario by 2050, which only a small percentage of boomers might live to see. Most won’t see most of the effects of climate change.
Yeah but Conservatives and particularly Republicans are great at spreading a message. It’s more important that people believe that Conservatives and Republicans are good stewards of the economy than actually being good stewards. The economy will ebb and flow regardless of what anyone does, so why do anything about it when you can just take credit for the highlights.
And yet Democrats will still manage to snatch defeat from the jaws of victory. I am expect them to lose seats in the election.
On top of that it’s not like there isn’t any energy outside of a wire conducting electricity. It’s just that in the vast majority of applications it’s insignificant. Electricity isn’t really a thing, it’s all just fields.
Yeah but it’s not like Et Al. has been supervising/leading any papers, research or stuff like that. Their name is always stapled on the end.
I’ll agree with you that Taylor Swift is not a billionaire of biggest concern. It’s not black and white, it’s a scale of grey. That said, anyone with over a billion UD dollars in personal and private wealth is in the you shouldn’t have that much money club. Full stop. That’s black and white. The grey comes in with how much over are you and what did you do to get it. Taylor Swift is not like Elon Musk, Sam Altman, or Peter Thiel, but she does have too much money and probably doesn’t do enough to encourage new talent who would be her competition. She’s a capitalist, just not the worst kind.
Ice cold!
Alright, alright, alright, alright, alright, alright, okay now ladies. Now we gon’ break this thing down in just a few seconds
Add on all the bullshit they hide in their contracts to cover liability. Fuck Disney saying that their customers can’t sue them because they paid for a Disney Plus account. Should be legal but apparently it is.
She literally can’t, ICE agents are federal agents which means they have civil immunity from lawsuits that are a direct result of their duties. Unless they’re doing something that a reasonable person would understand to be a breach of the law. That said the federal courts seem to use Donald Trump’s circumstantial definition of a reasonable person and only his. So fat chance there’s a legal solution to this.
How is Battlemage. I’ve been thinking about getting a replacement for my Alchemist card. It’s mostly transcoding but it’s always nice to have backup hardware in these days.
