Comment Re:If you want the answer, don't ask people (Score 1, Troll) 148

I always like comments like these from men who blame women for not having babies. After all, the sole job of a man is inject and go. It's the woman who has to undergo nine months of an ever increasing blob taking nutrients from them, drastically altering their hormones, making them uncomfortable 24 hours of every day, and eventually causing pain and discomfort. Assuming they don't die in the process.

Who wouldn't want to go through all that?

If the day ever comes when men can become pregnant, birth control will be freely available and there will be a whole host of government programs implemented to make their lives as comfortable and safe as possible.

Comment Who will study the data? (Score 1) 23

The National Nuclear Security Administration just furloughed 80% of its workforce due to Republicans shutting down the government.

Who is there doing the leg work to get this approved? Depending on how long Republicans keep the government shut down, who will do the installation and configuration? They can't pay contractors to do this since there is no approved money.

So he has something to distract his constituents from why he fled Texas when the people were freezing to death due to Abbott's and Ercot's incompetence.

Also, because the Wikiepedia article about the battle at the Alamo explicitly states, "About one hundred Texians, wanting to defy Mexican law and maintain the institution of chattel slavery in their portion of Coahuila y Tejas by seeking secession from Mexico, . . ." To him, telling the truth is "liberal" bias.

Comment Re:Type of headline that should be prohibited (Score 1) 66

Oh fuck off. The headline is exactly correct. Something was worth X yesterday and today it's worth Y, where Y is substantially less than X.

If you had to sell right now, you would get far less than for the product than if it you sold it yesterday. Hence, erased market cap.

It's used every single day in the financial industry and is regularly quoted in headlines when a company's stock plunges.

Comment $40 billion? (Score 0) 99

Why does that number sound familiar? Oh right, that's the amount of U.S. taxpayer money dear leader is handing over to a country whose leader ran the country into the ground and will now use that money to prop up his campaign for re-election.

In other words, in one fell swoop, the U.S. will lose another $40 billion in a matter of weeks compared to the first few years of covid.

Talk about efficiency!

Comment Nope, you blew it (Score 2) 51

while it still includes two controllers featuring dials and number pads instead of joysticks, they're both wireless and charge when docked to the console.

Wireless, no matter how good, still has delays or blips which interrupt the signal. You need the consistent signal of a wired connection.

I know people will give me reasons why I'm wrong, but this is no different than having touchscreens for basic operations in a car. You need the analog touch for simplicity and reliability.

Comment Re:Banking License (Score 2) 57

I'm pretty sure not one of these crypto companies could obtain, much less keep a banking license (at least, not in a proper country where you can't just buy your way in).

And you would be wrong. The first stablecoin bank, backed by billionaires who backed trump, was just approved by the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency after a rigorous two month review (that's sarcasm in case you missed it).

Supposedly this "bank" will have to adhere to money laundering rules, but as we've seen with other digital money, that goes out the window because who needs regulations.
