We just need to invent star-trek style replicators and then we'll be all set. You know: tea, earl grey, hot. It shouldn't be too hard since Claude is already smarter than Data.

My father held grudges. I'll never forgive him for it.

You take a dump on Nancy Pelosi's desk ONE TIME... and they never let you forget it.

A strange game.

The only winning move is not to play....

Is that an indirect way of saying you spend an inordinate amount of time and money performing maintenance on your old clunker to keep it running? Cars haven't sold with CD players for a really long time.

I know a 2017 Mazda that still has a factor CD player in it.

And then again, often people put new stereos in cars...aftermarket, etc.

I wonder how many fatalities "Radar Love" has racked up over the many years it's been out?

I have to admit, my foot to this day gets VERY heavy when that song comes on...among some other choice "driving" songs.....

If you let out apartments and houses, you're also going to have to make your properties "greener', or you get penalized in some way. For instance in Belgium you can't raise rent with inflation unless your property reaches a certain level of compliance.

Glad we don't have to deal with that type of overregulation over here in the US.

I mean, it's great if a property owner wants to do it and it is feasible for them.....but I don't like the govt mandating crap like that.

There are still a few primaries coming up: https://www.fvap.gov/guide/app... [fvap.gov] If you don't see a DSA candidate see who Bernie recommends https://www.youtube.com/@Berni... [youtube.com]

Sorry I'm just NOT for dismantling the US like the DSA is promoting.

I don't want to get rid of the senate (although I would vote for making them appointed by state governments instead of popular vote like they used to do)....

I don't want to get rid of prisons.

I don't want to get rid of ICE and open our borders to anyone....

I don't want to stop deporting people that are here illegally.

I don't want to get rid of the Supreme Court.

I don't support govt taking over the means of production.

There's a LOT I don't want to do that leads to the complete upheaval of the US and how it was set up by the founders.

There is only so much an individual 'needs" when the needs of others are considered.

Why should I consider the "needs" of others?

I mean, aside from myself, family and friends.....why should I give a fsck what others need when considering my purchases and the support of my preferred lifestyle?

I don't purposely try to hold anyone back, but I certainly don't pause to think "what do others need" when I'm saving for a necessity or even a fun purchase that will buy me something I WANT...not need, WANT.....

Who the fuck stops and ponders others in this manner in life.....?

Anyway, the actual reason why China is doing so well here is that they have a proper plan that doesn't keep changing, a realistic timeline for it, and are putting in the resources. They have methodically built up the technology they need.

This is easier to do in what is basically a dictatorship where the people have no say in the government and what it does....

Well, I' glad to see that somebody somewhere rants about one of the most demented and dangerous people on the planet. I can only hope they manage to actually do something to oust him before it's too late.

So, you're PRO allowing Iran to fully develop nuclear weapons and the means to deliver them balistically?

So, you're for open US borders to let most anyone in and you're against deporting those here illegally? (I mean, even Obama was for deporting illegals).

So you're against the drop in crime across the US, especially in cities where the Nat'l Guard had to be deployed temporarily?

Yeah...so demented.

I don't really like the guy as a person,BUT I very much appreciate many if not most of the actions and accomplishments he's managed to do since election. I don't like it all, but most of it I support, I voted for...and hope he can finish doing the job.

Now you should focus on extending the countdown to longer than 15 seconds.

Thanos enters the chat > Actually...

Have you ever been a hiring official for any medium- or large- organization?

Yes I have.....and for entry jobs....GPA has been a consideration where there is no experience.

Is it the only consideration? No....but when you don't have experience it is one component to weed applicants down.

Great. More vague nonsense from internet dipshits that can't pick a side.
