This. Madoff didn't get in trouble until he started fleecing people who were richer than he was. Then it became an issue.

and destroyed multiple fields of STEM research

Interesting claim....

Can you give me a list of / citations of such?

Geez there seems to be a lot of rage about the FCC potentially enforcing a law LONG on the books for broadcast TV to give equal time to political candidates on both sides of the fence, especially during an election year....

If he wants the Dem.....let him also schedule the Rep. candidate, maybe both on the same show...eh?

...Says the side literally endorsing fetish frankenpeople cavorting specifically for children.

You understand that literally everyone who reads your comment (whether they agree or not) recognizes you're a ccp-sponsored bot, yeah?

She sounds much more like Elizabeth Holmes than anyone else.

âoeWe need to have European politicians who are ambitious,â she said. âoeEntrepreneurs cannot do this alone. We need to be backed by the politicians and by the European Space Agency. But we have to start by achieving the crazy targets that weâ(TM)ve set up for ourselves. That will give trust to others to believe in what weâ(TM)re doing.â

eg
"I don't have a plan, but I have ambition, and with piles of your money I can work toward what even I recognize is basically unachievable. If YOU believe in me, then others will also believe in me and I'll be rich, I mean, we'll be successful!"

Because real punishment is only for brown people. Corporations are the whitest white people.

ROTFLMAO....

OH man, you got me with that one. If you really believe this type of shit, you are REALLY gone over the deep end my friend.

I guess all those non-white business owners that have incorporated are all secret undercover white nationalists.....hahaha.

Man, what a vivid and exciting imagination you have there...

You pull a trigger with intent, and someone dies. That doesn't mean you intended to kill a person. The entire chain of events are evaluated to determine if you committed murder or manslaughter

Or...self defense...that's one of the more important ones there that you forgot.

HTH.

I wish someone would make a DSLR that was compact and as easy to use as a phone. I'd be interested in that. Fixed lens would be okay, I'm not going to carry a second one anyway. Even just a USB dongle that used the phone for all the processing and for the view screen.

DSLRs are old tech...go for a modern mirrorless camera.

Go take a look at the Fuji compact mirroless cameras they even have a few fixed lens offereings that might suit your use case...give them a look.

I'll likely be getting the iPhone 18 Pro Max....in either 1 or 2 TB configuration.

I"m currently on the iPhone 12 Pro Max and the better life is starting to get a bit weak and the electronics are starting to show age a bit....I want to be able to shoot RAW and such on it for video...so, it's about time for me.

As you can tell, these phones last me a LONG time, so I drop some cash....but over time It seems worth it to me. An extra $100 or so? No big deal.

I think op's point was that they don't know of anyone who has one or knows someone who has one.
Neither do I.
So yes 30m units purportedly sold sounds like a lot (is it? In a planet of 8bn?) but who is the demographic that this is aimed at?

Explain why, when they got rid of the oversight of Southern states and their voting, the states literally moved the next day to reduce the ability of minorities to vote, then

Err...no one or no groups have been prevented from or reduced in ability to vote to date.

Please cite rules and laws hindering anyone's ability to cast a vote? (Aside from those that are NOT citizens, which is against the laws and have been for ages).

How often do we see a police dept ousted because a bunch of their officers had a racist group chat going? Is that not systemic?

Actually it is quite rare to hear about this...therefore I'd posit that this illustrates that it is NOT systemic or pervasive in today's society.

You're never going to root out racism totally....you still see it coming from all races in virtually all societies....but it is not systemic and is not an assumed everyday occurrence, especially not in the US.

Ahh...the good old days.

Besides, didn't she make a better Nurse Chappel?

Did you guys ever actually believe that land of the free stuff? Wow.

I did and still do...we're MUCH more free than the rest of the world....unlike places like the UK we don't arrest people for insulting someone online or hurt feelings for a comic routines....or where was it that got someone arrested for playing Kung Fu Fighting?

Sure a lot sucks here in the US, but it sucks a whole lot less than everywhere else in the world.

Otherwise...why are so many people trying to come here?
