    What stupid thing did the GOP say or do this time? Episode 3!

    She's not throwing her vote away, she's trying to shore up her own re-election. Maine has essentially rejected Trump and she doesn't want to loose her seat by sucking up to him. The Republicans have chosen Trump and barring the only example of pongo trumpus dying before the convention, he...

    AI don't trust techbros

    In theory a simple script to edit the files enmasse would work, assuming the format in question even has the option to embed said data. Of course you would also have to ban AI from using legacy data that has been floating around since before the regulation was put in place. In practice I don't...

    Harris-Walz / Dems

    Ominous, yes, but it hasn't passed yet. There's still time for them to remove those riders.

    We live in a capitalist dystopia

    I disagree on the first part. Company broke the law, it's contracts with the enablers of said illegal acts should be null and void(which is why I singled out the senior executives). As far as the second part.... My only issue with doing that is the fallout. The average bank teller likely had...

    The US Supreme Court and its decisions

    She's also 100% THIS is exactly what impeachment is for. It's not simply to remove your political rival from office(I'm looking at YOU, members of the so called Freedom Caucus), it's to fight against power grabs and corruption. It definitely WON'T go anywhere with the current house and senate...

    We live in a capitalist dystopia

    Likely just a slap on the wrist. Probably made 10 times the fine they were assessed. Frankly the minute a company gets a fine like this the company should be required, at the very least, to remove the CEO and all other senior executives WITHOUT honoring their severance packages(NO GOLDEN...

    The Twit destroying Twitter is a Twaitor

    I thought Musk bought twitter to get rid of the bots. Looks like he was forced to remove them by the US government.

    What stupid thing did the GOP say or do this time? Episode 3!

    You would think that eventually they would wise up.(maybe they have in the case of Cruz, fingers crossed)

    Yea, the 18 and 22 year old are both technically adults. Either the article left out some key details or the article chose a very poor example.

    Misc. European politics

    That's good to hear. Hopefully the US can have similar results to the UK and France this November and keep the fascist elements at bay for a bit longer.

    Harris-Walz / Dems

    Also consider that the 1940s were only 40 years removed from the 1980s. People who were watching his movies at the peak of his movie career would have been as young as 50 at the time of the election. His movies were also re-released in theaters AFTER that time period and were eventually being...

    Harris-Walz / Dems

    Correct, the term B Movie changed naturally. While it once referred to the lesser movie in a double feature, the meaning has shifted. Heck by the 80's the meaning had shifted to mean pretty much any movie with a highly constrained budget and questionable production values(granted at that...

    Where is he?

    Doh, and I'm an idiot. the post was right there on the first page. I think I need new glasses.

    Thought I had just overlooked the post yesterday. Shame it didn't happen. Ah well.

    Don't get my hopes up. Cruz needed to go like 13 years ago.

    So I am making a video game.....

    Word of warning from my own experience. Don't overthink the animation this early in development. I have a tendency to zero-in on one issue on my projects and obsess and tweak and obsess and tweak that one aspect until I end up losing interest in the project. Don't want you falling into the...

    Harris-Walz / Dems

    Essentially the Republicans are saying "Our guy may be a literal monster but at least he's not an octogenarian with a speech impediment." Worst part of that is that a large portion of the population is buying it......

    Harris-Walz / Dems

    Don't get me wrong, the right wingers hate the Obama's with a passion(despite many of Barack's policies being more center-right than left), but they NEVER found a way to impeach him and generally speaking, from what I've seen, the Obama's(both of them) are better liked overall than the Clinton's...

    UK politics thread – meet the new boss, same as the old boss

    Under that definition, you are right. But under that definition a property tax isn't a tax, it's a fee(you are paying the government to recognize and enforce your exclusive use of a piece of land, essentially), same would go for sales taxes, import duties, road tolls, etc.

    Harris-Walz / Dems

    It's EASIER to hate on Hillary Clinton than it is Michelle Obama. Hillary has a slight arrogant edge to her that the Republicans were quick to magnify and focus on. Michelle does not. There's also the baggage brought by her husband, again, not something Michelle would have to deal with...
