I press buttons to make lights on a box change. Sometimes the lights are all wrong so I have to press a lot of buttons much faster.

Sitting in a hotel lobby in Vegas listening to the elevator attendants talk politics - the word “crazy” is coming up a lot from a zoomer saying how stupid the Venezuela and Greenland stuff is.

If this becomes a giant lawsuit, "Donald J Trump should be allowed to rule over us like a syphilitic Mad King" versus "predatory lenders should be allowed to fuck over the little guy at every turn" is possibly the only way you could get Samuel Alito to understand why Sophie's Choice was a tragedy
lmao
Trump: "AFFORDABILITY! Effective January 20, 2026, I, as President of the United States, am calling for a one year cap on Credit Card Interest Rates of 10%."

"the federal government is openly murdering your citizens with its secret police" is in fact the literal exact circumstance the framers had in mind when leaving states the autonomy to maintain things like their own militias in the US federal system. That's when you're *supposed* to risk The Big One

My extremely controversial hot take is that science is cool as shit and I will die on that hill.
My barometer actually measured the shock wave of an exploding volcano in the pacific a few years ago. That was pretty cool, if a rather small bump by the time it got here.

If you want an orderly transition of power eventually and not "J.D. Vance gets kicked to death in the Oval Office along with quisling Dem Senators" you gotta show that order is going to produce something other than impunity.

I like SE but I have to disagree strongly. The whole foundation of Westphalian sovereignty is the fact that states categorically cannot intervene in the internal affairs of other states. We throw out the very core concept of sovereignty if "kidnapping a head of state we don't like" is fine.
i actually think the operation thus far as a type of op is fine. heads of state should be fair game, that is probably an improvement on the state of things
it's all the other details like "not having any real reason" and "not having any plan for after" and "gloating about stealing their oil"

Get ready for a lot of foreign policy talking heads to start doing the contrarian “was this dumb? Yes BUT IT WORKED”

The second season of Ghost in the Shell Stand Alone Complex was about a terrorist group called “Individual Eleven” and their manifesto was a series of essays about Individualism, all against the backdrop of a refugee/immigration crisis. SAC never, ever missed, it’s insane.

Call it the Ozempic class because it's just going to be a fat destroyer.
You guys gotta stop calling things battleships, even if that’s what our big dumb president calls them. Because it gets me excited unnecessarily.

Okay but I would actually like a remake of ENDWAR, one of the only RTS games that was actually enjoyable on a console.
The voice control was gimmicky but damnit, it was fun when it worked.
