Swalwell leaving doesn’t change the majority the Republicans already hold in the house, and he’s in a very safe seat in California so whoever replaced him will be a democract too. This guy is like Cuomo, dead weight and we should cut him lose to show some integrity, not latch on to any of these corporate democrats because they’ve got a d next to there name.

I figured that area would be full of extremely violent megastorms due to the heat differential.

tidally locked

Wouldn’t that be a non starter for life? One side would be perpetually baked and the other would be frozen.

What if my politics is empathizing with people?

should we be invaded

More to protect against native American raids in response to continued encroachment and slave rebellions. These are what militias are effective against.

A militia doesn’t stand a chance against an organized european army, the revolution plainly proved that as the US was losing until they organized the Continental army and put Washington in charge.

The text reads (according to Google translate)

I need to find out if this is true, and if so, what measures were taken.

The forced prostitution of comfort women that we take issue with is no different from the Holocaust or wartime killings.

So he’s linking it to comfort women, Korean forced prostitutes to the Japanese army during WWII. Makes sense that Korea is taking issue with shit like this, they know how bad occupying forces can get.

People don’t often think of Korea as a colony, but Japan was doing the same settler colonial shit to them the Europeans were doing everywehre else, and continue to do in Israel.

Australi Witness passed specific[22] information on the manufacture of a bomb targeting a September 11 memorial event in Kansas City, Missouri, to an FBI informant, who was posing as a Muslim extremist.

We can’t say how much of this deal was set up by the government and how much was his initiative. If this was a Honeypot and they caught a mentally ill man from it the question is are they running similar set ups for other “extremist” groups. If they’re just targeting Islamic groups then that shows some racism.

Maybe the solution is some Spotify like service for journalism. Ie. Pay $20 a month and get access to most papers, and the revenue is split by view count. Even better would be making it a tax so since everyone is paying there’s no need for login.

The full quote was “conservative media commentator” which I think means he comments on conservative media, not that he is a conservative who is a media commentator. I agree it’s confusing wording though.

Would’ve been better if they just called him a gonzo journalist as he’s closer to that then a commentator.

LLMs being the most visible part of AI after over 75 years of AI, isn’t because they’re the biggest or latest or greatest or whatever, it’s marketing. Plain and simple marketing.

Probably more that it’s the only AI normal people will interact with regularly. Your average person isn’t going to run a protein folding application, but they will probably talk to chatgpt or use Google AI summaries.

To be fair he did, he’s been noticably more erratic and confrontational then his first term. This isn’t to say his first term was a model of stability and good governance, just that he is definitely declining mentally.

This doesn’t excuse her support for him earlier, but if she wants to push dementia don out, I’m not gonna get in her way.

Bitcoin finely found a use case that’s not crime. Take that crypto haters.

The carbon cost of producing the EV is higher though, but yeah long term still better as long as you use it for like 5 years and don’t get a new one whenever it comes out like it’s an iPhone.

I feel like the white blood cells should be the guards. They’re the ones who will kill anything that gets out of line, and they’re white…

Same vibe as Stalins

How many divisions does the pope command?

The coffee thing shows either a contrarian attitude or a naive one. Im tempted to say, go do a bump of coke and tell me thats a similar animal. Its not.

I have done coke a couple times, and idk if it was just bad coke or didn’t take enough but I felt it was overrated. Didn’t mix it with alcohol though which apparently enhances the effects but would say it’s on a similar level to a high dose of caffeine. Like a bump of coke I would put on the same level as an energy drink. Maybe a line would make me think differently but I’ve only ever done bumps/keys.

This isn’t to say I think all drugs are the same, I wouldn’t put coffee on the same level as molly or alcohol for the high.

Yeah, a pound of weed is probably around the size of a pillow, you’d need a campfire to burn that, not joints

Depends on where the horniness is coming from, if it’s from prog(esterone?) like the op said and it’s tied to hormonal cycles then you maybe got a day to get over there.

looks like they tried to cut oman in on the deal too but they refused

Nah, they’d gladly prevent trans women , who they view as men, from getting gender affirming care. They would try to prevent this on the same grounds of “it’s not natural to mess with people’s hormones”
