You are apparently utilizing an incredibly wide and imprecise definition of "facts." And I also don't know why you are referring to some fictional debate between this proven idiot and the former VP, but you do you.

Consider the following facts:

Kamala Harris holds a doctorate degree in law, passed the Bar exam in California, and was a successful prosecutor who racked up convictions against multiple felons including child molestation and trafficking. She was elected to several posts in California including winning a statewide race to become a United States Senator. And as a candidate to be President, she received the endorsement of somewhere north of 48% of the nationwide electorate.

Pete Hegseth has been credibly accused of sexual misconduct and financial untrustworthiness after running so-called charitable organizations into the ground. He was a back-bench weekender on a propaganda network before somehow becoming known to the current President who put his own party's Senators into a headlock to confirm him when they knew he was vastly unqualified. And now he's credibly accused of at least overseeing (if not ordering) the first conclusively provable US-committed war crimes against civilians since the My Lai Massacre of the 1970s.

I'm thinking you might be indexing on the wrong attributes when you're selecting whom you would like to serve you in OUR government. This guy is a fucking disaster, and to say otherwise just shows that you're a coward cultist shill.

"Risk, is not the topic that will earn you a smile from a grieving mother of a perfectly healthy child who's now dead."

Coddling idiots only drags the rest of us down to their level.

Well, if we're going to break out the bible verses in order to live by, let's go ahead and examine the one that all the evangelicals love to forget: that Jesus will know his followers by their ACTIONS instead of their words. Matthew 7:15-20 says "you will know them by their fruits" and right now there's a whole lot of bible-thumping so-called Christians that would sooner advocate for the crucifixion of a brown Palestinian jew telling people to love their neighbors, accept the strangers and poor, feed the hungry, and show empathy for their common person than listen.

Such a man would be dismissed as a "socialist libtard" long before any of these hypocrites actually listen and realize that is the core tenet of Christianity.

What value does 8 cylinders versus 6 in such an application bring? Are motorcycles lacking the torque that is available from having less rotational arc of the output shaft per cylinder that you get by adding more cylinders?

And why the fuck would I want a touchscreen on a motorcycle, when all the critical controls are out at the hand grips where your hands should be? Like the brakes, turn signals, lights, horn, etc.

None of that sounds "ahead" to me. It sounds like answers to questions nobody asked.

To think that because the rockets are the same general shape that they are "copied" is just about as stupid as saying that because today's laptops are the same form factor as the original PowerBook 100 from the early 90s, they are a "copy".

You have a severe lack of nuance, and I would submit that other than the general shape and function, today's rockets are NOTHING like what you claim.

Are those two things somehow mutually exclusive?

You say "China" but this is a private Chinese company. "China", as in the Chinese government, does have its own space programme that, like NASA, works with commercial partners. They are looking to put people on the moon around 2030, and on track to do it, but this company is working on low cost to Earth orbit payloads.

Name one.

I really don't want this "feature". What I want is for existing features to work correctly.

For example, automated subtitling. For some reason the subtitles sometimes just stop coming for a while, then you get half a minute's subtitles all at once so you have to pause to read them. I've been watching foreign content lately and I depend on this functionality to understand what's happening, and it often just doesn't work right.

If Google could just pull their head out of their ass long enough to make their service work correctly and wouldn't bundle shit I don't want with it and overcharge, I would pay for a subscription to Youtube. But I absolutely will not give them money while they are proving that they don't give a single solitary fuck about their software actually working.

Right off the bat updates are constantly crashing it because Microsoft is using shitty vibe coding to do critical updates and then acting like they can have people just check the code. Any idiot can realize quickly that's not going to work because there's going to be enormous pressure to check the code quickly in order to realize the cost savings from the AI bullshit.

Meanwhile Windows 11 is slower and more crash prone because it's filled with AI spyware designed to let Microsoft train their chatbots and whatnot on everything you do.

It is the most user hostile software in existence but because we don't have any antitrust law enforcement it's all we've got.

I keep seeing people talk about Linux but the fact of the matter is unless and until we start electing politicians that will strictly enforce and to trust law and begin the process of breaking Microsoft up Linux is not going anywhere.

The reason Linux is perpetually stuck at 2 to 3% market share on the desktop is because every time it starts to have a breakout moment Microsoft does a couple of nasty little anticompetitive things that are obviously illegal and that's it.

People have to start deciding what's more important when they go to the polls. And I think people here know how they've been making their voting decisions and what they've been giving up for it.

Companies with smart leadership will put just enough effort into AI bullshit to have something to sell to idiots, but won't bet the farm on it.

A Japanese game developer has started making recruits draw in front of them because they had so many people sending in fake AI slop and a few slipped through.

the funny thing, I could see AI being a game changer for Manga. A lot of Manga is simple brute force work adding shading and the like that could be better done in software. Though I don't think you need AI for that, good software could do it.

But a lot of it's still done the old fashioned way, which is a shame because several of my favorite manga ended because the author was so overworked they almost killed themselves...

Then again the publishers could just not take all the money for themselves, that works too. Japan needs more worker protections, but they just elected Trump in a dress so that ain't happening.

He is grounded in faith in white supremacy, which does indeed go back centuries, but no one should be defending it.

"What if you got professional help and got over your paranoid delusions that Trump is going to do anything besides enforce existing laws"

What if you shut your fucking traitor face? Trump is ignoring multiple court decisions right now, the idea that he is enforcing laws is probably the dumbest bullshit you've ever spread, and you're a spectacular idiot all day.

but if you kill the dog it's just $100 bucks. Unless it's some kind of special dog.

If the dog lives I think you're right, they might be able to sue google in small claims court to recover damages and would probably win. Though it can be hard to collect on judgements like that.
