You misunderstand. He’s not panicking because he cares about any of them. He knows it makes him look bad, makes the military look inept and poorly run that he’s commander in chief over, and he has no one left to blame. He hand picked everyone running this shit show. He’s looking for an out, for himself, and is panicking because he can’t see one.

Many conservative Israelis hate the victims of the Holocaust for being victims, they see them as weak. They feel shame, not empathy, and they’re happy to follow the Nazi methods so long as they are not the victims.

1. Yes. Guess which color skin they want the 100M to be.
2. Yes. Again, guess which colors the skin of the people they worry are having too few/to many children.

I mean… “Small government” Republicans were always demonstrably lying, as far back as any of them have been alive. Every one of them just wanted to shift money from things that support people to the pockets of their donors.

Yeah it’s unclear how much fantasy was allowed with these questions. Like if commute and money and pollution were no object I’d prefer to live on 1000 acres in the mountains with a cabin-mansion and hobby farm.

But realistically for cost and commute I just want a big yard for gardening, and peace and quiet.

Nope, your “nothing matters everyone is the same” bullshit is wrong. There are different levels of harm and the far right is objectively more harmful to more people.

There is a plan… It’s all laid out in Project 2025. The endgame is a christofascist USA ruled by a hereditary nobility of the billionaires.

Those aren’t LLMs. Except maybe the code one.

Maybe “an excess of blaze (of gunfire)”?

No, it’s racism. Always has been.

No, politicians make shit up to cover the fact what they really want are cops that obey them regardless of the law. Because they know if cops enforced the law equally, they’d be arrested for corruption.

Oh my sweet summer child… You think they’re going to give up power at this point? That is not what fascists do.

There’s only one solution to fascists, and it can happen naturally after 50+ years, or the 1940’s method.

Nope. I’ve grown them. They turn green to purple.

Few groups hate “illegals” more than immigrants. They did it the “hard way” so it shouldn’t be easy for anyone else.

There should be a progressive tax on anyone that owns a home but doesn’t live there. First home is nominal tax. Second home is double that. Third is quadruple. That’d fix housing and rent prices overnight.

And before anyone asks, yes same with apartment complexes. If the owner is forced to live in the complex, there’s an excellent incentive to keep it clean and maintained. And I’m specifically talking people, if a corporation owns a complex the top shareholder needs to be living there.

Other countries don’t have 30 year fixed like we do so there are systems to deal with this. Usually there’s no set repayment timeline, but rate is fixed for some period. Then it goes variable, or you negotiate a new fixed rate for another 5 or 10 years or whatever. The amount you contribute after interest is up to you and determines your payoff time.

While you are correct, the actual reason this started is much simpler.

CA has a law that all unused vacation must be paid out at separation. All the silicon valley CEOs loophole this law by claiming unlimited PTO, therefore no payout because nothing is accrued.

I’m getting old so there have been a few.

Super Mario World (SNES) - my first video game and the reason I eventually wanted to learn about computers

Final Fantasy VIII - my parents accidentally bought this for me instead of VII that I asked for. It was not a good impact, it was during formative years of my life and I looked up to the broody/loner main character and tried to emulate him, but in real life that just made me act an asshole and be lonely

World of Warcraft - this was probably an addiction and took too much of my college life. Haven’t played an MMO since I quit. Still reminisce about it.

SimCity 4 - forced me to think about systems, which I think indirectly shaped my career path

Kerbal Space Program - made orbital mechanics intuitive and made me interested in all things space

The answer is you’re a meat robot! We’re all just chemical gradients that learned to think.

A lot of people find this really existentially problematic but I think it’s fascinating. It’s even more fascinating that the meat doesn’t like thinking about it’s meathood, and developed bits of brain meat specifically to think about souls & gods instead of reality.

I’ve always wondered, isn’t that painful?
