No, "people" in general won't assume that, but pre-biased idiots that are looking for an excuse will.

There's no possible way a woman, even one with a degree related to writing, is qualified to write on technology. She's got a vagina, obviously that makes her a DEI hire. /s

Ok, that was a solid troll.

No, nothing quite that fun. Synthetic organoids are becoming quite advanced, though.

Here's the "brain" info: https://www.pnas.org/doi/10.10...

Who said it was dead? It can tell you plenty. It's not a functioning "synthetic brain" a-la Fallout 4. It's a lump of living cells in a gel that mimics the biological chemistry of a brain. Studying how those cells age could help extrapolate into real brains.

I'd describe its shape as more droplet like. I assume it's that shape because that's what liquid naturally does, not intentionally made to look like a brain.

I bet you're a lot of fun at a Happy Hour.

I've gone through discovery. I know it's a pain in the ass. But at the end of the day it's part of the cost of doing business. Maybe they should buy fewer MRAPs? Or maybe they should stop circumventing the 4th amendment purely out of curiosity and convenience? Or, more realistic, maybe a national ban on the use of Flock (or similar systems) until they can figure out a way to prove they aren't abusing it that doesn't cost $2M?

It seems pretty negligent if a police department doesn't already have something like this in place.

Ouch. Solid burn, and on point. Well played.

Should. The person at the top SHOULD take responsibility. That's a bet I'm not taking, doubly so for the current admin.

I believe they were just pointing out that "perception is reality". I'm liberal. I know what my side means by "defund the police". It's still a counterproductive statement. You don't even need the braindead right-wing news entertainment networks, you just have to read the statement without context. It's textbook "bad advertising" unfortunately.

How much clearer can I say this: There is zero fucking relevance to how many people the IRGC has killed. We literally have zero control over that. Unless your advocating for a "boots on the ground" invasion that exterminates the IRGC?

Again, since you apparently have reading comprehension issues: I DID NOT SAY THESE THINGS ARE THE SAME. Fuck, is talking to people like you painful.

How the hell can you say it was unintentional? They blew up a god damn building with no clue what was inside of it. It's an "accident" in the same way a person with a .025BAC plowing into a school bus is an "accident". Or a hunter not knowing what's behind whatever he's shooting at. Or blindly lobbing cruise missiles at targets that haven't been vetted. You can mince words all day long, debating on the definition of "accident", doesn't change the fact that it was willfully negligent.

No, Kegseth didn't see the target, know it was a school, pop a rage-boner, and hit "fire". But what he ordered was about one level of willful incompetence below that.

Again, just fuck all the way off already.

If we hadn't elected a foreign policy autist we would could have been well underway negotiating the extension as originally planned.

Was Iran following the agreement or not?

So that's what we're doing now, right? Seems to be working out pretty well. /s

Well, at least we have some common ground here. Based on the rest of your post, I suspect we differ on our opinion as to why it's going to be infinitely worse to dig out of. Now we have no agreement. Now we have no diplomacy. Now we have a far more radicalized leadership. Now we're stuck in another middle east "conflict" with no plan and no endgame.

So your "answer" for specifics on how Harris would have made things more awful is 1) You didn't like Biden's policies. 2) You heard she wasn't prepared for meetings, and her politi-speak on TV reinforced that perception for you. and 3) She dropped out of the 2020 primary. Got it.

That's an "excellent" non-answer to the question.
