Comment Re:More like Biden (Score 0) 162

"Both sides" is bullshit.
You will never find Biden-era equivalents

you may be drawing from your personal perspective here exclusively; consider another:

- [Biden never ordered] the US military to fire on shipwreck survivors.

instead he let drug boats come in.

- [Biden never pardoned] someone who helped flood the US with cocaine

correct; but the US is still flooded with cocaine (though of course, largely due to demand + relatively lax borders).

- [Biden never pardoned] a hedge-fund manager who fleeced families out of millions.

he instead pardoned his son who made millions selling... questionable things/access.

So you somehow found a way to blame DEI in an instance where it had zero mention? I guess DEI was the talking point on Fox News today.

not op, but in 2011, intel hired musician will.i.am as the "director of creative innovation".

intel had clearly lost their focus.

All coffee tastes like ass. I'll never understand how anything that smells that good can taste that bad.

coffee varies tremendously:
from where its grown, to how its grown, to how its roasted, to how it's stored, to how its ground, to how its brewed, etc etc.
and most of the time its done poorly. often very, very poorly.

if it smells good to you, theres a good chance theres a cup out there youll enjoy.

There are some cases wherein the SRY gene of the Y chromosome has broken/mutated and therefore the baby has female characteristics.
There are some cases wherein the SRY gene, normally found on the Y chromosome is on the X chromosome, and therefore the baby has male characteristics.

And by the way, if you're annoyed by that reality, there are a lot more downstream genetic complexities that are even harder for you to comprehend.

i think most people honestly dont have a problem accepting that;
from what i observe, what they do find annoying is the way the info is presented, and thus the people presenting the info.

[the dot-come bubble] was caused by the over-valuation of stocks. In other words, it was wasteful investment that created no lasting value for "scavengers".

perhaps, but it also created competition for the winners, allowing them to demonstrate their comparative superiority/sustainability.
the large pool of capital provides motivation/attracts participants.

when betting on horses, the losers still affect the race;
without the losers, there wouldnt be a race.
