Yes I cannot fathom how they can do this without also assaulting customers. Not that that’s the main thing wrong with it. It’s just a case of people seeing other people and sneering “those fucking people - look, they’re existing again!”
I think Epstein did everything he could to appear with as many notable people as possible. As you say, it doesn’t mean much just to have been in the same place as him. Now, on the other hand, we have people who were seen with him repeatedly, and even said on mic that they knew he was into young girls. Now THATS damning.
Only China’s CCP can protect the sanctity of this process from politically motivated interference by devils in Chinese Taiwan and the United States.
You know, or so they’d have you believe.
The catch that always seems to bring this heavenly process down into the dirt is “identifying” the reincarnated lama. China’s rhetoric, if you look closely, is all about ensuring outside countries don’t interfere in that process. They are trying to assert that only they have the ability to recognize when the reincarnation has taken place, and who it is. Not that they can control who it is.
I know, it’s bullshit. But “people get hung up on bullshit” is a shortened history of human civilization.
At least he’s living in this century, as opposed to Trump, who is still stuck in the 80s watching cable TV and talking about his “ratings.”
This college doesn’t have the power to fix homelessness at the societal level, but they did have the power to do this. It’s a pretty awesome story.
In addition to this I’m also deliberately fucking up the hand gesture: instead of using my two hands to weigh some invisible objects, I claw at the air like a cat. They lose their fucking minds.
I agree with you.
Is also think our VP is in poor taste to make jokes about how he’d like to fire off an exception to the 1st amendment. It’s just another example of total disrespect for our constitution and personal arrogance within the executive branch.
Accurate. Tech executives often see themselves as so far ahead of the rest of the world that they’re truly a different species. They see a world full of legacy stupidity and think they know better. The constitution is an artifact to them, not an ideal. Their actual ideals are unhinged nightmares of uploaded consciousness and the like. They don’t consider themselves human but post-human, or at least eager to become so.
I see - so you’re arguing with the Republican premise that safety features add cost. It seems obvious that more features will add some cost, but how much is the question. The number of lives saved is also pretty important to understanding that cost, I would add.
Naturally the GOP are trying to deflect general economic outrage at Democrats and “nanny state” regulators any way they can.
Electric cars are still kinda expensive because they are new, and not yet the majority. But wow they are going to be so much cheaper in the long run. Fewer parts and easier maintenance. It’s surprising how much longer something lasts when it doesn’t need to contain numerous miniature explosions per second.
There a similar effect with Mercedes in the US: they mainly export their high-end cars here, not their economy cars. Therefore Americans associate the entire brand with rich assholes. It’s true enough within the US, but may not hold outside it.
You can argue with the evidence if you want to but it is offered right there, at the top of the article.
NHTSA says have saved 860,000 lives since 1968.
Yeah. Right wing positions are wrong enough without the constant, panicky extremification of them that goes on. It’s not really persuasive to anyone when we distort these positions and then crow about how bad they are. It’s all just part of the outrage-engagement complex that is rapidly rotting all our brains.
And it makes dumb people so visible.
Here you are, doing the same thing. Ask yourself.
Exactly one comment earlier, we have you stating your case as a broad generalization:
Lots of homes are *easily* affordable with that income. Buy elsewhere.
Now you want to claim that as long as the 99.99th percentile can satisfy your claim, it’s valid. Who’s moving the goalposts, here?
You’re attempting to make a long and carefully formatted post look like a convincing argument, but all you’ve done is cherry pick high wage occupations. You are simply showing again and again that you cannot contend with a topic in terms of aggregate metrics and will do anything to skew the picture to match some picture you have an emotional attachment to.
If we’re going to cherry pick, shit, I earn over $500k in one of these HCOL areas you say are such pressure cookers. My house is nearly paid off. I guess this is a great area for families to move to, right???
I’ll say one thing… I never have to work so hard to justify where I live as you have here.
Yeah, that’s closer to the mark. It’s so subtle. Can you call it a window-adjacent seat if it isn’t adjacent to a window? I’m sure a marketer somewhere can find the right weasel-word :D
I heard MAGAts are placing miniature replicas of the Charlie Kirk death tent in front of their Christmas trees instead of nativities.
