  • But I assume that nobody at the time had autism, because they were not vaccinated. Worth it!/s

  • Peak America.

    In a sane world, everybody who wrote or approved that title should never be allowed to work in news media again. It is a fucking disgrace.

  • And most of the world’s food is produced locally.

    ...With imported nitrogen fertilizer made from fossil fuel. And with farm machines burning imported oil. And transported even to local market using imported fuel.

  • Food prices are still tied to fossil fuel prices. This will cause a lot of very real pain, among the poorest in the world.

    So yes, we need to get to net zero carbon. But there has to be a more humane way than unplanned cold turkey.

  • The wars were won in both cases. Decisively.

    Hearts and minds were not won, in either case. There is a good question whether the nationbuilding could even theoretically have succeeded, given how tribal and divided the countries were. IMO it was stupid to try in the first place, especially in Afghanistan.

  • Gold is fluctuating wildly in price. It is meaningless to talk about measuring commodity prices in gold.

  • a) is it BS

    The tobacco plant is a model plant, the go-to for genetic engineering experiments. So often when scientists want to test creating a bio-factory, they will try to modify a tobacco plant.

    I am knowledgeable in ethnobotany and psychedelics and I cannot see what this might produce other than nausea and delirium.

    The idea is not to smoke the resulting tobacco plant with some funky mix of psychedelics. But to extract and purify the compounds from the bio-factory. Resulting in a better production chain than however the compounds are typically made today.

  • Please tell us where your window is - how can we avoid climbing through your window, if we don't know which window we are not supposed to climb through.

  • Being convicted of insurrection is not a requirement. The only reason Trump was not kept off the ballot was because the Supreme Court intervened, and effectively annulled the 14th amendment.

  • How little the founding fathers knew…

    In Russia, Navalny was falsely declared the equivalent of a felon by Putin's corrupt judge. Preventing Navalny from running against Putin. Not having any formal requirement for President is absolutely the democratically correct choice. It is just that US voters are idiots.

  • What you say is completely true. But there is actually another law which should have prevented Trump from running in 2024.

    Section 3 of the 14th Amendment, known as the disqualification clause, bars anyone from holding federal or state office—including the presidency—if they previously took an oath to support the U.S. Constitution and then engaged in insurrection, rebellion, or gave aid or comfort to enemies of the U.S..

    Jan 6 2020 was an insurrection by Trump.

  • Ford pardoned Nixon, and Ford lost the next election. And the pardon probably played a part in Ford losing. So the system still sorta worked then, if imperfect.

  • Is Mimi the cat's servant? In that case yes, it is valid to question "Mimi thinks she owns the place".

  • Checks and balances doesn’t work if one party is in charge of everything.

    Nixon could not have been convicted without Republican votes. But Nixon resigned, because he knew Republicans would vote to impeach and convict him. So the system can in theory work, even if the system depends on policing its own.

    It is in fact quite normal across democracies, for stuff like this to depend on the votes of the party in power.

    The problem here is that Republican representatives are traitors to their oaths. And more importantly, that Republican voters are not demanding their representatives to not be traitors.

    So Republican representatives simply know that they only get reelected if they act tribally Republican. Note that this is generally not a problem with Democrat voters.

  • The tweet is linked, but doesn't give any details. So we don't know - and it might well not be true. What can be asserted without proof, can be rejected without proof.

  • Possibly - but the people here complaining were not very articulate about it...

  • Have you seen how enthusiastic Trump is when talking about the design of the ballroom? Trump loves real estate more than anything. So I think it is all about the ballroom.

  • A solid chunk of the 1/3rd to be murdered is voting for their own murder. 46% of Hispanics and 24% of black men voted for Trump in 2024.

  • They will just round them up and "concentrate" them into camps, while figuring out where to send them. Who knows, maybe some of them will even happen to die while the Republicans try to find a final solution, solving part of the problem that way.
