When you opt out of the social contract, you don’t get the benefits anymore. Piss is too generous.

Yes.

Fuck your red herring. They should’ve been punished too. Continue to go fuck yourself.

Really? Even though he blatantly defied the constitution and attacked a foreign state out of nowhere without approval? That isn’t enough, he also needs to be stupid and easily manipulated (which he obviously is based on the mountains of evidence) before you want to hold him accountable?

Go fuck yourself.

It’s kinda like that saying: if you owe your friend $100, they have power over you. If you owe your friend $10,000, you have power over them.

In theory, a really interesting (if it weren’t unethical) place for llms would be elder scrolls NPCs (not touching feasibility either). Give them a two sentence background and let the immoral magic do its work. Throw in some voice creation and you’ll be cooking with gas.

Yup. I switched to linux on my home computer and now the more time I spend with it, the more I pity my work computer for the cancer it has to deal with.

Adding on to the Pope bit. The Pope snubbed Vance, who is Catholic, initially and sent a bishop to go lecture him on compassion instead of going himself. Vance eventually got a face to face where, and I’m fuzzy on this part, he also lectured him on compassion alongside a photo op. Then died the next day

I was you. I installed Mint and the only issue I had was with a hard drive that was being shared by both systems (dual booting) that had all my games on it. It was a symlink issue.

Bite the bullet. The startup time alone is worth it.

He’s broken the departments investigating him and it isn’t fun anymore, he doesn’t have to be there at this point to win.

He did snub Vance, so it’s at least implied.

They are really soft. Don’t grab their tails.

Even if it did, not currently an obstacle.

In the US, yes. In other countries (also Alaska and Maine somewhat), the voting system (ranked choice voting, proportional representation, etc) allows for many smaller parties to form. Because no one ends up with 50+% of the vote, these groups have to come together to get things done. With first past the post (which is winner take all, which is heinously stupid), small parties cannot meaningfully form because they cannot possibly get enough votes to get into office.

Unless you get the same size voting base as Republicans, it still leads to a corpse.

Different word, same effect

First past the post ensures that any party that tries to splinter off dooms both themselves and the party from which they splintered.

What needs to happen is the democrats need to get tea partied.

Note: the following vitriol is solely for Musk. I got no issue with you, just feeling spicy.

Yeah I guess you could get benefits when you were being paid to work for him and his PR team wasn’t “KETAMINE!”. But those people whose lives his family stole can go fuck themselves cause they don’t have a PR team to make people care about them.

His backstory involves being born rich on the backs of his family’s emerald mine slaves. Why would you expect better than any other rich asshole?

We also have a Scout. We also call him Scoochy, Scoutabout, Scootums, and You-Motherfucker. He’s orange and only uses his brief braincell time for evil. He once turned the gas stove on by himself.
