those aunts only have cats to talk to

seems everywhere is becoming a surveillance state and gov't and big tech won't give up even if they lose some battles with rich assholes like Larry Ellison saying "citizens will be on their best behavior because we're constantly recording & reporting everything"

"Healthy adults seek cognitive discomfort, not reinforcement"
I guess we found one of the Thanksgiving uncles

"their entire ideology is based on the false claim that people are or can be equal"
if universities hadn't started making adjustments decades ago to enrollment policies, the student bodies would be 70% female.

the pre-DEI status quo was, as you put it, "racist and oppressive and contrary to reason" but the privileged always feel oppressed whenever it looks like the playing field is leveling

from my perspective, the curvature of the Earth is very close to zero too

that's been my style for longer than even many Slashdotters have been alive, not going to change it.

also, Biden deserved that nickname and i've known about him for a lot longer than most, long before Obama picked him & let's just say he was very different.

Reagan's cabinet used to joke that Biden didn't know which party he was supposed to be in and i'm not talking about his memory.

when i saw Duvernay's "13th" one of the very few surprises was interviews with people like Grover Norquist & Dennis Prager but NOT a single mention of "Sleepy" Joseph Robinette Biden.
i reached out to the filmmaker on Twitter more than once about that but was ignored. i've never found a reason to believe excluding him was not a deliberate decision.

given that Slashdot still doesn't allow deleting or editing a comment, perhaps you should verify that you're replying to the right person before publishing your screed

"There are some 50 MILLION interactions with police per year in the USA. Around 800 result in death. That is 0.0016%
And almost all of those are due to non-compliance and/or valid threats made to the police"
Please do everyone a favor and tell that to the POLICE!!
Because they ALL act like every one of those 50 MILLION interactions is actually one of the 800.
Why is there so many more police shootings in America compared to Canada or other advanced nations?
US cops kill about as many as LEO in Mexico and i've been told that is a dangerous shithole.

never been a fan of Sleepy Joe but things were less chaotic when he was POTUS even during COVID.
Speaking of "Weekend at Bernie's", where is Mitch McConnell? If his recovery is going so well, why hasn't he made a video statement?

Cancellation payouts so far this year for wind projects and lease terminations:
$1.2B to RWE AG
$928M to TotalEnergies SE
$900M to Golden State and Bluepoint
$765M to Invenergy

These deals of course were made very strongly,
Could Sleepy Joe have done this?
Of course not.

similar to Lisp and Java machines or transputers running Occam

They could have done this a year ago before the AI tax made CPU & storage spike from extra expensive to unaffordable.
Happy now?
