No, he concluded that in 2024 when his not-democratically-selected candidate, a correctly-colored woman whose political career began with blowjobs to a very powerful West Coast mayor - a last minute "fuck you" by Mr Biden to the party that abandoned him - got whomped by an odious, blowhard NY property developer whose multi-year vilification 2016-2020 turned him from a publicity-seeking opportunitist into a hardened "opponent to everything leftist", made fantastically easier by the lefts own purity-spiral politics, driving even moderate leftists and EVERY SINGLE US DEMOGRAPHIC ASIDE FROM WHITE WOMEN to swing their votes rightward.

This just gives him a chance to complain about it again.

Good luck on the June launch, and best wishes for a successful mission!

XX = ALWAYS female. No alternative. If you are healthy you have a womb and can bear babies. They are intrinsically connected. You have large gametes.
XY = ALWAYS male. No alternative. You cannot ever bear babies, no matter how healthy you are. You have small gametes.

If they ever dig up your body, this is how you will be identified. Your feelings have *nothing* to do with the matter. Nor does your sanity. They will 100% identify you according to the actual, empirical physical characteristics that make you male or female (or a genetic sport of some sort).

That you keep repeating the delusion just makes you delusionAL.
No matter how many times you repeat 1+1=3, it's still not true and never will be.

Facts > Feelings.

If you have XX chromosomes, you're female and thus a woman. Cutting off your tits or bolting on a Frankenphallus just makes you a woman with surgical alterations.
If you have XY chromosomes, you're male and thus a man. No amount of makeup, women's underwear, or stripteasing in front of children will change that.

Anything else is an aberration and, like a one-armed person or someone born without eyes, recognized defective. It doesn't make them less human, but the idea we should just pretend that's normal is a weird delusion.

No, you're wrong. Period.
Being transgender, like any mental illness, requires sympathy and care - not pretend-endorsement for political points and virtue signaling.

It's no more deserving of "respect" than any other human being, but it is worthy of pity. Some wiring has gone wrong in their heads; that's not their fault.

It's not 2022. Only the truly dogmatic believes that silly shit any more.

I didn't say evolution considered anything an error.
That would be stupid, evolution is a process.

But certainly a mutation that causes insanity IS an error in human evaluation..that is, unless the insanity has a political faction, then we'll shriek 1+1=3 because, well, politics.

I love you guys.
Dawkins when attacking Christianity and religion is a super genius, insightful, brilliant ... Until the moment he departs from the canon, now he's a fucking liar and obviously stupid.

Impossible.... IMPOSSIBLE that you might be wrong.

The frothing left can't stop itself from the purity spiral, driving even your allies right. Dawkins himself had to start looking at his intellectual allies and realize they might be the baddies.

You are great. Keep it up. Never change and certainly never, ever doubt yourself.

There are two sexes. Period.
Anything else is, by definition, aberrant & basically broken. Yes, biology makes many errors. Usually they die. Sometimes they don't.

It doesn't mean transgenders should be mistreated, they deserve our pity and whatever help they can get to be happy in their lives.

But fortunately the world has moved on from this absurd delusion that if you really really really pretend you're a donkey, you MUST BE ONE. That's silly. And... basically insane.

The process is such that the IEEPA refunds will proceed with the liquidation of the imports.

Customs basically finally closes a file (liquidates) about 315d after the entry. So if something was imported on July 1 2025, then May 12 2026 it would liquidate.
Importers having filed their CAPE data (which was super easy, took me about 15 mins for more than 1200 entries), those entries will be flagged for the return of the IEEPA duties plus interest, which is a usual customs thing.

Note that 'issuing the refund' and getting the refund $ actually might take a bit. Some brokers are suggesting it might take up to 60d for the funds to flow, or, it could just be CBP is awaiting June1, as the White House still has a chance to protest the CITA court ruling until then. (There is no suggestion they will but still, better to wait then have to un-de-retro-re-bill people for refunds that need to come back or whatever.)

Short version, it's not like these companies will suddenly get a giant pile of refunds; they will trickle back at (approximately) the frequency they went out last year.

"rent-seeking, gatekeeping storefronts taking 30% of every developer's revenue."

Right, so Steam should just build a massive distribution network for free then?
Literally nobody HAS to use their service to publish or buy computer games. It's flamingly successful because both developers and consumers get what they particularly want from such a service.

If it's so easy, build your own, charge 20% and drive steam out of business.

And as her +70.9% gains in 2024 were somewhat extraordinary, Nancy Pelosi spawned a host of similar apps - I believe autopilot has subsequently been broadened to include other lawmakers of both parties.

FWIW I fully agree with you that the PEOPLE of other races aren't themselves the problem.

The problem is the exploitative cleave-lines that leaves for opportunism in democracies. It's so much easier to blame easily-visually-identifiable "others" than actually address much more subtle and pervasive issues like poverty, drug abuse, etc.

I'd point to immigration as an example. The US is quite literally a nation of immigrants.
The most patriotic people I know are 0th or 1st-gen immigrants.The problem they immediately identify is that now the centrifugal forces seem to be winning - instead of new immigrants being encouraged to become American, they're pushed into factional enclaves and the melting pot is lost. (Their comments, not mine.)

LOL "flamebait" for describing the immediate replies accurately.

Pardon me for calling a spade a spade. I didn't mean to offend.

So you're saying that - literally - the whitest, most homogeneous society on earth is the best place to live, exemplary in structure, society, and well-being?

And insisting that's what ... complete coincidence?

Funny, that.

You neglected to factor in the fact the Musk - for ideological reasons, let's be clear - is hated almost as much as the Orange Tyrant on slashdot.

Meaning that facts-be-damned, Elon MUST somehow be made the bad guy. Even if that's irrelevant.
The simplest explanation - that he tossed some $ at an opensource competitor to Google, and then this entity took his $ and turned for-profit - must be discarded.

Look at the replies to your comment.
- "well Musk tried to buy it later" how does this matter to whether a business was funded on false premises?
- "well Musk was going to take it for-profit." Setting aside that this is essentially verbatim OpenAI's own argument against the suit, again, what Musk was "going to do" isn't relevant. Yes, whether it's on moral grounds or Elon being butthurt at being cut out, the point of "we take your $ as a nonprofit, turn it into a for-profit but keep your $" is the question.
- your daring to side with Musk means you apparently implicitly fellate Musk. Persuasive, certainly.
All of these, note, are 'climbing' in mod points.

I mean, it's pathological: Everyone here is largely against AI and Sam Altman...until Elon's the other side.
