Can you imagine these vehicles getting safety tested in the United States?

You'd have to be an ldiot to think Samsung never thought of this when they released the "smart" fridge!

So present other data, you tendentious chud.

Neither is the earth getting meaningfully warmer outside of what would expect coming out of an interglacial, but that doesn't stop you saying stupid shit, does it?

Sorry about that basic reading comprehension.
Maybe go back to reddit/bluesky? Echochambers tend to use simpler, in-group signaling like chimps, instead of words so much.

If corals are going to go totally extinct in the next century or two due to a degree or three (c) of warming, how is it that they as a species have lasted HUNDREDS of millions of years, most of which were several degrees warmer than today?

And don't talk about "speed of change" - corals have likewise survived (and frankly thrived) major extinction events for the last half-BILLION years that were EXTREMELY, traumatically short & intense, such as Chixiclub (66mya) which warmed the earth by +5C for more than 100k years. This makes the puny 1deg C global warming for a century laughably trivial.

Extreme cold kills 7x-20x the people that extreme heat does every year.

Why are we fixated on heat deaths only? Why not work to mitigate all extreme temperature deaths?

They've got global warming, COVID, Trump, and all sorts of things to be terrified about besides the usual predation, poachers, and leopards.

Maybe leave them the fuck alone on this one.

Yes, of course the reason the US space program is struggling is because it's actually enforcing the law re illegals, not because the previous administration tried to import millions of future voters.

And of course it has to do with the current president, not the decade+ previous administration(s) where the STATED primary mission of our space program was "Muslim outreach" and lately diversity*. Not to mention the $billions wasted (and nigh-hilariously) /failing/ to replicate a launch vehicle design that's essentially 60 years old?

*Notice the Artemis program name, and that it had a diverse crew before it had even basic mission parameters or a functioning launch vehicle? What was their first publicly stated goal, again? To put a woman on the moon? Is that how a pure meritocracy should work, you announce desired characteristics of your "best" before they're chosen?

Finally, the "seeming lunatic who is destroying our Democracy" is the only guy aggressively funding and accomplishing advances in launch programs?

Thanks, fully agree.
Somehow, my post was downranked to -1 Troll, I guess?

BL was groundbreaking as a looter-shooter.
BL2 was probably the pinnacle of the franchise. Great writing, great characters, good story. Child Schmafficking.
Tales was probably the peak writing/narrative delivery.
PreSequel was...we don't talk about the pre-sequel.
BL3 was completely disappointing.
BL4 The fact that Gearbox was militantly woke by this time is basically irrelevant (wrap your trannie franken-unit in the pride flag, I don't care I just want a good game) but their writing has been utter shit since TT. That a $3k PC chugs to run it - is asinine.

I only care insofar as truth matters? Does it to you?

And I don't care what pronouns THEY use; I'm going to use the one that's descriptively factually appropriate. If it upsets them, maybe their bitch is with reality, not me.

I don't give the faintest shit what sort of role-playing someone wants to do in their life.
OTOH If a dude in a dress pretending to be a woman walks into the bathroom while my wife or daughters are in there, I'll make sure he's exiting that bathroom immediately. IDGAF about his kink.

You mean the democratically elected president and congress?
"Authoritarian" does not mean "someone who disagrees with me that is in power".

Maybe if your team stopped loosely throwing around terms like 'authoritarian' 'fascist' and 'nazi' because you're either disingenuous or too stupid to know what real ones look like, fewer people would get assassinated by your psycho crazy allies?

You want to see actual authoritarianism? Watch all 9 hours of Shoah, maybe you'll grow up a little at the same time?

Fully agree.

Pollsters generally are finding people are growing unresponsive to polling generally. Their task relies on the largesse of people's voluntary participation and that's been badly damaged by:
- fatigue: ain't nobody got time for that shit anyway.
- robocalls: nobody, I mean nobody, is going to wait to hear if it's a "real" survey or some marketing bullshit
- political everything: elections now never seem to end
- deliberate skew to polls: I don't know about you, but the last handful of times I bothered to listen, the polls were skewed in a way a 3 year old could tell the way they "wanted" you to answer. "Who will you vote for, our guy that loves puppies or that despicable Nazi?"
- deliberate skew to answers: it's a well-demonstrated effect that one side of the political fence in the US *loves* to overshare their opinions about everything, and the other tends to tell pollsters to fuck off.* This leads to a strong political cleave-line in the responses, and the near-impossibilty of getting an actual representative sample. On this basis, if I were asking a polling company to answer a question for me, I'd be highly suspicious of any answer essentially coming from one voice, not a bellcurve of the population generally.

*fwiw, when I do amuse myself by not hanging up immediately, I generally give them an answer based on a coinflip, to taint their data with noise as best I can. It's mildly amusing to do this as I have to often hastily give contrarian answers to the previous answer I just gave them. Call it an exercise in rhetorical nimbleness. I hate polls.

it is what you want to say, not me obviously, stop lying.
