Comment Re:Scary thought... stop propping up real estate? (Score 1) 152

I know all the bigwigs love real estate, but if that market collapsed the entire country will be far better off, because resources could be better used.

One of the main reasons WFH is being attacked by corporations, is because of all of the investments in commercial real estate.

The same kinds of investments that likely exist in YOUR 401K or IRA.

Be careful what you wish for when you speak of collapses. You just might get it.

No matter what your racist, small town redneck hive minds says, it's still illegal to execute people because you don't like them.

One instance of shitting on a sidewalk is usually a minor issue. A whole subculture living that way is waving evil in the faces of workers, homeowners and taxpayers, besides being a potential major public health catastrophe. I'm with Rambo on this one.

Most people are with Rambo on this. Including San Francisco leaders. Otherwise they would have been proud to show off their homeless encampments when foreign dignitaries visit, instead of rushing to hide and clean that up before company comes to town.

Not that you'll ever get a liberal infected with TDS to admit that, mind you. They’re far too busy being a “victim” to every “racist” thing they can point a finger as a replacement to personal responsibility and accountability.

Funny thing about failing nonsensical ideologies based on feelings rather than facts. All Common F. Sense has to do is sit back and wait, knowing that Stupid will be forced to learn eventually. The fact that they have to learn the hard way will be viewed as little more than entertainment.

Comment 100% lying about oversight. (Score 4, Insightful) 83

”Kendall said there will always be human oversight in the system when weapons are used," the article notes.

Thats complete bullshit.

One of the main reasons the US Military feels they need AI solutions here, is because of the “threat” of other countries deploying AI-controlled fighter jets too. And the only way to respond and react to an AI-controlled armed threat, is to fight fire with fire.

Those claiming otherwise know this, which is why they need to be called out on this blatant lie. At some point the liability and vulnerability will be the slow-ass human burdened with those silly morals and ethics interfering with decision making.

Nothing is "wrong" here." NASA had an initial estimate, did a full examination during Orion I, and revised after the full examination before Orion II went into production. This is normal.

the damage the heat shield suffered was far greater than NASA engineers had expected and more severe than NASA had revealed previously.

Is it normal to use the words “had revealed previously” and somehow be talking about an organization chock full of morals and ethics suffering from an addiction to full transparency, unburdened by performance metrics justified with budget approvals?

Why did they fail to reveal that previously if nothing wrong or bad would happen?

Ok, boomer.

Care to offer up another explanation for a border being defined as optional, or should I just start a massive campaign to kick start the rumor that most immigrants illegally crossing the border are going to vote for Trump, and watch Immigration law suddenly change overnight because of a “newfound threat to our democracy”?

You likely know the reason a corrupt administration is hell bent on ignoring the border AND hell-bent on attacking any form of voter ID mandate in an election year, and in a country addicted to demanding ID to an unconstitutional degree otherwise. Your political ideology tends to force you to not want to admit that you know.

So yeah - I 100 percent support the second amendment - all of it, not just the last 13 words.

Did it ever occur to you to actually ask those unregulated militia members why they do not want restrictions on their unalienable right to bear arms, or did you just assume all of them were criminals?

Is the fact that the United States was literally founded on the concept of curbing Government abuse, already forgotten? Anyone recall how the Founding Fathers wanted to ensure the horrors of a “free” England under rule of crown did NOT follow into America?

If gun registration doesn’t lead to immediate confiscation, it leads to gun taxation to the point of unaffordabilty, and under the Government threat of you being labeled as a criminal in society for non-compliance. (taxes is how they ultimately got Capone)

Most people I know that 100 percent support our Rights, know why they do not support more gun legislation. Opinions might actually be different today if ANY gun legislation didn’t turn honest gun owners into pseudo-criminals, which it seems to constantly do (as anyone who owns an AR “assault” weapon can attest). Sure, you can (kind of) own a gun in America, but God help you if you’re ever forced to use it. The legal system has made that quite difficult too.

Not asking questions, is how the law-abiding patriot ends up being labeled an “extremist”.

10 U.S. Code 246 - Militia: composition and classes.

(a) The militia of the United States consists of all able-bodied males at least 17 years of age and, except as provided in section 313 of title 32, under 45 years of age who are, or who have made a declaration of intention to become, citizens of the United States and of female citizens of the United States who are members of the National Guard. (b) The classes of the militia are— (1) the organized militia, which consists of the National Guard and the Naval Militia; and (2) the unorganized militia, which consists of the members of the militia who are not members of the National Guard or the Naval Militia.

Given the equal rights rules I suspect the restriction of any part of the militia to males only will not stand up in court.

So most likely you are already in the militia just by being an adult.

While these groups fit the definition of the Unorganized Militia as (re)defined by SCOTUS in Perpich v. DOD, 496 U.S. 334 (1990), (because, who doesn't?), that does not authorize those groups taking up arms against a Duly and Constitutionally-Elected and Constitutionally-Performing Government (which this one is).

The current Government absolutely refuses to secure a Nations borders. The constantly attack the 2nd Amendment. They support sanctuary cities. They support lawmakers engaged in insider trading. They abuse FISA courts and mass surveillance that laughs in the face of 4th Amendment protections.

I don’t care what your political affiliation is. The FUCK makes you believe we have a Constitutionally-Performing Government?!? Quite ironic that the 2nd Amendment addresses this problem very specifically. By ensuring militias remain legal, and representative of The People. America was literally founded on curbing Government abuse.

Comment Re:Well... (Score 1) 193

The legal interpretation of this, and related laws at the state level, require that the "unorganized militia" be activated by and under the command of the state.

And the militia embodied within the 2nd Amendment and enshrined in the Bill of Rights? When exactly does THAT militia get organized and activated? Who exactly is charged with that responsibility, because the responsibility to ensure the safety and security of a Nation at its borders, is being blatantly and corruptly ignored. By the US Government.

so no, one is not automagically a member of "the militia" by virtue of being an adult male between the ages of 17 and 45.

Really? Might want to understand what Selective Service is. Men who reach 18 years of age in America ARE in fact required to register within 30 days of their 18th birthday. The entire point of that program is involuntary military conscription if and when necessary.

Sounds pretty damn automagically to me. The only debate around that right now, is whether or not to force all the strong independent women to register too, because equality.

I'll define it.

If you walk around doing military cosplay and talk about shooting people who cross the border illegally, you just might be an extremist.

If you walk up to a US Military installation gate and attempt to cross that border without authorization, you will find out very quickly how Military Police don’t “cosplay”, and why your definition really isn’t one. The MP gunning down the one crossing illegally, isn’t called an “extremist”. By anyone.

Talk of securing a countries border, should be a discussion the US Government is leading. Instead the current administration is forcing those discussions and responsibilities on American civilians instead. Civilians who are dying as a result of inaction to secure the border.

I wonder what kind of “extremist” banter would be going on at your local church after months of mass chaos and crime across the entire town because your law enforcement department was deemed to be “too mean” and closed by the mayor. After many drug overdoses, rapes, and murders do you think the pastor would still be conveying compassion or preaching security recommendations while an armed squad of farmers is forced to stand guard outside?

Militias are being formed in America? Gee, after reading what the Founding Fathers enshrined in the Second Amendment and Bill of Rights, I just can’t imagine how that happened. /s
