Why does anyone think the squiggly red line signals something that’s always optional at this point?

He’s not pretending.

I don’t think that’s fair. Plenty of people in this world do not know much about computers or the internet or anything in that area and just need a printer. So they go to their local big box store and there’s the HP printers and they’re a good deal, so they buy them.

Consumers do not get what they deserve when companies treat them like shit just because they don’t have certain knowledge.

He has almost no filter and I think if he was a secret KGB operative, that would not be a secret by now because it would have just come out at random at some point.

He’s extremely malleable, loves rich people and authoritarians, and will agree with almost anyone who kisses his ass. So it’s pretty easy for Putin to just wrap him around his little finger.

Dahl was a great author but wasn’t a very pc person , his family have had to apologise for his anti semitism.

That is putting it very mildly.

"There is a trait in the Jewish character that does provoke animosity, maybe it’s a kind of lack of generosity towards non-Jews. I mean, there’s always a reason why anti-anything crops up anywhere. Even a stinker like Hitler didn’t just pick on them for no reason.”

He said that in *checks notes* 1971.

Worse, it was in response to criticism to an article he wrote that was justifiably criticizing Israel at a time when it wasn’t so popular to do so. And when he was accused of the old “you’re anti-Israel, so you’re anti-semitic” nonsense, he decided to go, “hell yeah I am!”

So from what I can tell, here is all of the places Trump has threatened either directly or indirectly to send the U.S. military since taking office in January:

Greenland
Panama
Gaza
Canada
Ukraine
Mexico

Did I forget any? I realize the U.S. has one of the biggest militaries in the world, but I think maybe he’s going to stretch them a bit thin?

Some people cannot do a lot of active campaigning for health reasons. The person you just asked that question to is one of them. I just thought you should know that.

I know what you are talking about. It is not the topic of this post. That is why you are getting downvoted.

You asked why you were getting downvoted, I told you, and now you’re trying to argue with me about it. Which I am guessing is also going to get you downvoted.

Also, stop responding to me multiple times and in PM.

Because this is about the Democrats and Section 230 and you’re talking about growing food.

Probably because that’s completely off-topic.

Your intentions are noble, but people do not appreciate that.

No idea who that is, sorry.

Similar oddity like that- Michael Keaton was a crewmember on Mr. Rogers’ Neighborhood.

And Fred Rogers, ever Fred Rogers, had nothing but nice things to say about him and his later career.

Oh you missed the news about congress wanting to insert AI into the medical system, including diagnosis and dispensing medicine.

An AI does not have any sort of doctor-patient confidentiality.

So it won’t just be trans people, it will be anyone who’s health issues make them undesirable in the eyes of the government. For example, people who turn out to be part of a group genetically even if they don’t look like it.

Many of us who are old enough saw it as an advanced version of ELIZA and used it with the same level of amusement until that amusement faded (pretty quick) because it got old.

If anything, they are less impressive because tricking people into thinking a computer is actually having a conversation with them has been around for a long time.

You don’t think proposing SCOTUS reform is going to help Republicans, do you?

Biden will make the announcement in Texas on Monday

Just twisting that knife in the wound. I love it.

Do you really think wages would go up if foreign workers weren’t hired? Why would they? What reason would companies have? If everyone pays shit, employees don’t really have the choice of finding a better job regardless of who is being hired.

It seems to me that if you’re worried about people not getting paid enough, then you should be fighting for higher wages, not less immigration.

But immigrants sure are a convenient scapegoat for those corporations, aren’t they?

Although he is credited with the modern phrase, a version of Marx’s “from each according to his ability, to each according to his needs” can be found in the New Testament.

³² And the multitude of them that believed were of one heart and of one soul: neither said any of them that ought of the things which he possessed was his own; but they had all things common. ³³ And with great power gave the apostles witness of the resurrection of the Lord Jesus: and great grace was upon them all. ³⁴ Neither was there any among them that lacked: for as many as were possessors of lands or houses sold them, and brought the prices of the things that were sold, ³⁵ And laid them down at the apostles’ feet: and distribution was made unto every man according as he had need.

– Book of Acts

From the very beginning I said this was typical “backward savages can’t handle our modern world” bigoted bullshit that has been a staple of both news and fiction for literally centuries.

Well I’m sure a company with ethics, like John Deere probably, will stop doing business with Tuff Torq now. Definitely.
