Your argument: they did so little in those 5 seconds of descent before crashing. Shame.

The US subsidizes farms and petroleum.

I have experienced some recent schadenfreude with farmers who no longer have workers to harvest because ICE scared them away.

You’ve made a potential error in underestimating just how horrible some peoples’ lives are and how filled with hatred they are over that fact. This is really what drives so much of politics in the world–disgruntled people with no future who choose to hate others who have nothing to do with it.

I love the quote about how it is putting federal agents in danger…and I sort of think that they are doing that themselves.

The real problem becomes when bad or non scientific advice gets regurgitated to people over and over.

Firefighers/EMTs/Paramedics are the true heroes. That’s a “don’t touch” zone.

Don’t blame it on CA. KKK types have been moving to northern Idaho for decades now. They tried to do a terrorism as a pride march a couple years back and got caught because the police found so many U Haul trucks in the area to be suspicious and checked out a few.

Therapy is just littered with bad therapists, that do more harm than good and give the practice a bad name.

This has long been my experience. Although I believe that great therapists are out there, I have yet to encounter someone who didn’t blame me for the problems and cause me to feel rejected. The last person I went to looked over the intake testing and told me that nobody would want me as a client. No joke. I convinced him to let me stay but nothing happened and I burned out after 3 months or so and stopped going.

Part of me is ok with this in that any avenue to get mental health resources can be better than nothing. What worries me is that people will use ChatGPT for this sort of thing and these models will not be good help.

Conservatives absolutely gamed the reporting system. I once got a hit for standing up for gay people (I am one) because I summarized and ridiculed someone else’s comment that was anti gay. It was a honeypot.

It’s like Zuck. Why do you keep at it? You won already. The answer is that they are deeply flawed people who needed to go into therapy decades back.

This is me. Grad school was about interest not work.

Guess we’ll cut food stamps but tell people who can afford to to get a watch

Your compatibility layers can be 64b, however, and support those 32b games that don’t even run natively on that hardware anyway.

Helpful to know that the country was markedly different before and after each of these events. Think of things before and after WWII, for instance. We will experience similar over the next 20 - 40 years.

It will turn out that the corporation exists in Nevada due to some sort of tax break years ago.

I’m jealous. When it’s like “wait so I have to destroy then redo my factory from scratch so that I can now make gizmos” I become frustrated and leave. I also dislike resource gathering because that feels like actual work.

lol first response is a personal insult because someone takes it personally when someone else speaks truth that is disagreement with how they want things to be.

It’s like this:

You: “Apples are better for you than oranges”

An orange lover: “How dare you insult me”

Factory games make me shudder because it just feels like actual work.
