It isn't that I never identified as a Democrat or Liberal, it's that I had never gotten the education from the existing system to let me know exactly what that meant.

It wasn't until I - not even "did my own research" - but just did a *little* bit of digging, following up on things, that I realized

Which kind, one of the pedal assist 15mph ones or the ones that go up to 40 and the pedals are an excuse to sell it under an unregulated market? You can tell by whether it was shaped like an actual motorcycle or not.

When did they change hands? I have a bunch of copies from Sigma Xi and they're wonderful, but that was from 10 years ago now

Also: Isn't part of the whole *thing* about television it being a *shared* experience?

If there were 500 versions of GOT with different story beats and endings it wouldn't have been the cultural icon it was till that last bit.

I miss the days when SA would do an in depth several pages of how ML works and what it can and can't do and neural networks with wonderful full page spreads.

What the *fuck* happened to Scientific American - they used to do such good in depth articles on really niche shit.

Which is why that dumb old motherfucker should have stopped sending weapons.

Pete put it rather succinctly a few months ago:

"You don't have to have beliefs, you just need to sound like you do"

And so I've been a vocal critic of ACA especially when Democrats trot out "We have Universal Healthcare at HOME" to the masses telling them that they'd do a better job of taking that $8,000 into a fucking Health Savings Account and negotiating with their doctors and dentists themselves.

You'd need to body them to stop em'

I am told by Democrat leaders that this is all a distraction and we shouldn't respond to every little thing Republicans do.

I wonder if they'll respond by the time they camps are set up, or is that also just a red herring to them.

The only thing Democrats are willing to risk is other people's lives and freedom

I quite like the Liam Devlin books but the dude is ex-IRA and worked with the Nazis at some point 🤷‍♂️

He managed to piss off the Spanish Monarchy and get jailed for being such a shit governor and slaver piece of shit.

To be clear: it wasn't on moral grounds, it just was threatening to cost them the colony and the profits it would bring, but still. You're too much of a bastard for the Spaniards

Doesn't he have his own game that he's been neglecting to make for 8 years?

To be fair, being one of the major providers of helium for this balloon the Oracle CEO has to play along now if he wants to get out with his parachute.

Even then they have to pay their employees! There's friction to that dollar being passed back and forth.

"We don't have capacity for this thing we were told ahead of time weeks ago, I only just got around to telling you now. Either I haven't been checking my email and now have to hastily make an excuse to still look competent. If I HAD seen this weeks ago we could have coordinated or told you earlier"

I bet it came out of ChatGPT or CoPilot or something too

Because it sounds so incompetent and incapable even just on the face of it, I saw this gem on LinkedIn and I had to laugh at this supposed story about the consultant's expertise that just made him look like a lazy customer killing twat
