And he’s actually been trying again recently as the auction gets closer. But people aren’t really following him to his new Twitter account

Congress has barely been able to pass critical funding bills. Do you really think they’re functional enough to pass highly technical and involved legislation for specific agencies?

It sounds like you haven’t seen any healthy ethnically non-monogamous relationships. That’s a shame. As a part of one, I’ve seen several others as well. It can work, if it’s done for the right reasons and if all partners respect each other.

Sure, if they’re willing to just destroy everything then it’s less of a solid tactic. Will the American military be so willing to just destroy the places they grew up in? Perhaps. Will they be willing to shoot the neighbor they grew up playing with? Perhaps. Will they be willing to level the school they have so many fond memories of? Perhaps. And if so, then yes, that’s game over.

The US military has historically been pretty terrible when it comes to insurgencies. But obviously they haven’t been fighting in their own backyard.

It’ll be interesting either way. I sure hope it doesn’t come to pass.

It doesn’t seem like you’ve read much about insurgencies and rebel groups. It doesn’t actually take much firepower to inject enough chaos into the system that you cause issues with traditional militaries. One person with a rifle could keep a FOB alert and wasting resources for a couple of hours in Afghanistan. IEDs placed by individuals or small groups caused absolute terror in Iraq.

These types of things are unlikely to “win” a war. But if you make it costly enough, the other side will decide it’s not worth fighting. The point is not to engage in head-on combat, that’s suicide.

Or hell, look to the tactics of some of the rebels in the Revolutionary War or the Civil War.

Sure, it’s all about choices. You’ve made your own. Hopefully you’re able to enjoy your retirement. But if those choices don’t work out, hopefully you’re not bitter and blaming others.

You are placing a lot of unwarranted faith in remaining healthy into retirement and your savings being enough for whatever situation we face them.

My dad decided to save up and wait until retirement to do some travel he wanted to do. A couple years later he has a major health issue and is unable to travel like he wanted to.

I don’t begrudge anyone enjoying themselves with the time they have while they are young and healthy.

That is an incredibly callous response to the situation they described. Their partner didn’t decide to be a financial drain. It could happen to you too. All it takes is one bad day and you’re in severe medical debt.

That is hilarious. “I got an MBA from Harvard but totally believe I can get a 500-1000% return on my investment”

Sure, and I’m not calling it the end times. But things will continue to get worse as carbon accumulates and causes temperatures to rise.

Having a child has and always will be a moral and ethical choice (for those who have a choice) and it should not be taken lightly. But there are different stakes now than before. And we still haven’t gotten rid of the looming shadow of nuclear annihilation, we’ve only added to the ways we can destroy ourselves.

Isaac Asimov was wrong. The only real law for robots/AI will be to not jeopardize the company’s profits.

I’m not about to say people can’t have kids, but they should really do their best to truly understand the future that awaits those kids. That temperature line is going to keep going up (except in certain areas when the AMOC collapses). Things will be worse and no one is coming to save us. Deciding to bring a new life into that future is a serious ethical and moral choice.

Helping generate less carbon at some point in the future does not help with the fact that we are racking up the carbon bill now. What these companies are doing is entirely unnecessary, gimmicky, and will lead to even worse climate change outcomes. Between AI, crypto, and the O&G companies we just keep pressing the gas even harder on serious, irreversible climate change.

I hope this AI push fails spectacularly at some point, but the damage is already being done.

This sure seems like a step towards a personhood bill. Which is exactly what Republicans want

Thanks for regurgitating InfoWars talking points. Alex Jones would be proud.

It’s because they listen to Alex Jones. Everything they said is an InfoWars talking point.

It always strikes me as interesting that if the Bible truly was divinely inspired that there really should only be one translation and one interpretation. It should be incredibly clear and concise to everyone.
