Okay, but this should also apply to the military and police. (Redundant, I know.) We don’t want someone stealing rifles and selling them to cartels, right?

I would love to see some hard data on this, but I wonder how much of the increase in corporate purchases of homes is driven by the need to prop up their flagging real estate investments.

I honestly don’t think it would change anyone’s mind at this point.

Anyone who still supports him after all of the shit he’s said and done is complicit. It was clear from the beginning he was an asshole.

The last time this happened it was Japanese cars, and the US auto industry failed and got bailed out. I expect that to happen again with Chinese EVs.

The ability to make cars involves a lot of skills that can have military applications. There’s a reason car factories were converted to build basically everything in WWII, and the US won’t give up that ability for national security reasons. So our auto industry can’t fail, and will be propped up by the government.

Assuming she made it up, why did Trump pay her hush money for a made up story? And why didn’t he sue her for libel or slander?

If the stakes really as high as they claim, then it would be horrible for Biden to accept the results of the election if he lost.

The reason they are so fucking old is for the exact reason you’d expect: voter participation of those 65+ is about 3x of those 18-29.

That’s not entirely true. Committee membership and chairmanship is determined by seniority, so the longer someone stays in office the more political power they have.

Therefore it behooves both sides to keep people in office as long as possible, even if that person has one foot in the grave.

Semi_Hemi_Demigod, 14 days ago

Of course. I’m just pointing out that there’s reasons they keep the same people in office for a long time outside of old people voting more frequently.

Take Two interactive is really lucky this happened right after they sacked the KSP2 team, otherwise people would be talking about that instead.

Semi_Hemi_Demigod, 17 days ago

The most depressing thing I’ve seen related to this topic. A small team that worked incredibly hard were lucky enough to achieve the impossible, and now they watch without any control as it is taken from them, for no other reason than greed.

KSP’s original team must feel the same way

They should add a rider that reinstates the broadcast ownership rules eliminated in the 1997 Telecommunications Act.

I don’t think Harris would be any better. And unless Bernie is made president pro tempore I don’t see anyone in the entire line of succession that would be any better on this issue. Hell, I supported and voted for Fetterman and he’s out here calling me a piece of shit for having a problem with genocide.

The department also determined that Russia has breached the CWC’s prohibition on the use of riot control agents as a method of warfare, the statement said.

Super neat they’re allowed to use these against civilians but not soldiers. Please educate me as to why this isn’t abhorrent.

Okay so abhorrent but reasonably abhorrent.

That’s a good name for this timeline: Reasonably Abhorrent.

There would be a group that says he’s not dead, a group that says he is dead and coming back, and a group that says he’s been reincarnated.

And then, in the far future, scientists will wonder why we switch from a lowercase t to an uppercase T.

The fact that they released a game with wobbly rockets and then charged $50 for it shows they didn’t know what the hell they were doing. It should have been free for early access with a simple way to report bugs. I’m not gonna pay that much to do QA work for them.

Semi_Hemi_Demigod, 20 days ago

Our voting method is just one of the many myriad problems with how we elect government officials. Even if that was fixed we’d still be ruled by low-population states, and the president can be elected with 20% of the vote.

Considering the interest rate for most of that time was basically zero it’s not hard to be an all-time high.

Nothing that could possibly happen can change my vote. Can I do it now and skip the next six months of craziness?

This article, for once, actually listens to real people and understands the problem:

Therein lies a disconnect between most economic indicators that economists consider — things like GDP, the unemployment rate, job growth and inflation — which are all looking up, and how voters feel. When voters measure economic well-being, they’re much more likely to use more personal metrics, such as how easily their family can meet their basic needs.

The problem is alcohol is way, way too easy to make for making it illegal to be feasible.

Most drugs on the schedule are also a lot harder to make than alcohol.

I haven’t accidentally made opium, but I have accidentally made alcohol by leaving a half-full soda bottle under my bed.

Semi_Hemi_Demigod, 22 days ago

I had a sip. It tasted awful, but I’m sure if I tried to make it I’d end up with something that would get me fucked up

Now imagine if cannabis seeds were floating through the air all the time, and also used to produce a staple food, and you’ll see how alcohol is even harder to regulate.
