  • Trump Insider Says ‘The President Doesn’t Have Any Leverage Over’ Musk: ‘Elon Gives Zero F*cks’

    Jump

  • Musk's company doesn't exist to sell cars, it exists to sell stock. The cars are part of the commercial. His entire fortune is built off of low interest rates and high speculation.

  • I go from Three musketeer to wizard of the Court in about 1 month. Generally I just prefer not to cut my hair, but it will reach full length in about 1 year and then just stop growing any longer.

    These guys seem like they also chose this hairstyle because it's just less work and you spend less time being uncomfortable.

    Constantly shaving all the time sucks.

  • By "look like Jesus" do you mean they are white guys with long hair and facial hair?

    I think you might underestimate how easy it is to grow your hair out and stop shaving and instantly become a Jesus look-alike. No effort needed.

    Also, these two dudes look extremely different from each other and obviously they look nothing like Jesus who was a 5 and 1/2 ft tall brown skinned Semite.

  • With a TikTok Ban Looming, Users Flee to Chinese App ‘Red Note’

    Jump

  • An app has been shut down on the unsubstantiated claims that it was a tool of foreign influence but on the apparent reasoning that it was facilitating conversations that western social media is hostile to such as the Israeli extermination of Palestinians.

    Palestine and Gaza were specifically cited by congresspeople as an inspiration and justification for the ban. It is plainly censorship. That's not really debatable.

    Whether or not you believe that the censorship was reasonable or if there is sufficient evidence of subversive foreign influence using the platform is possibly debatable, but the fact that it is censorship is not.

  • GOP report recommends Liz Cheney be criminally investigated over Jan. 6 work

    Jump

  • Did someone suggest we do that?

    Is someone here in this thread suggesting that we should force the entire country further to the right and allow a dictator to return to power?

    Did you maybe mean to reply to somebody else?

    The solution to America's problems won't materialize if we magically criticize Donald Trump and the Republicans hard enough. There's no magic words we're going to say that are going to change those people. Instead, I would suggest that conversations about criticism of the opposition be separated from conversations about criticism of 'our team'.

    The Republicans aren't to blame for the faults in Democrats, and the Democrats are not to blame for the faults in Republicans. The major political parties have plenty of faults and some of those faults they have in common, but they are distinctly different in a number of important ways.

    The Republican party can't help America improve. It's not just that the system is rigged against the little guy it's that Republicans don't want to help the little guy. They want to squeeze him harder. The cruelty is the point.

    The Democratic party can't help America improve. The system is rigged against the little guy, but literally anybody who wants to try and help the little guy has to come here to this party to make that attempt because the party is at least hospitable to the concept.

    The stumbling block of the left is not Donald Trump. He's a symptom of our problem. Our problem is people like Nancy Pelosi and Diane Feinstein who are pathologically incapable of cooperating with anyone to the left of Reagan.

    You don't get Donald Trump if you promote Bernie. You don't get Donald Trump if you have real primaries, let the people pick the candidates, and create a pipeline to put rising Stars into leadership positions.

    I'm really worried that the deadweight at the top of the party is literally willing to sacrifice democracy to fascists rather than give one inch to progressives.

  • GOP report recommends Liz Cheney be criminally investigated over Jan. 6 work

    Jump

  • No response to "Democrats ran a shit candidate who didn't even mention healthcare or taxing the rich, and never won a primary " involves the words 'Trump', 'putin', 'nazi', or 'republicans'.

    Donald Trump isn't the problem. The problem isnt that donald trump is so attractive or that the voters are so stupid. That's like blaming fire for drawing an audience or being mad that ice is slippery.

    The problem is that Democrats don't want to win if it means a progressive agenda. The function of the Democratic party is to mollify progressives and help ratchet us to the right by providing a fig leaf for the same owner class that does almost all the donating to politics and is literally driving the legislative and judicial agenda of the GOP.

    Mark Zuckerberg's Meta donates $1m to Trump fund

  • The critical hit captured live on national television looked like a cutscene from a new fallout game.

    Zucks passing dominates the new cycle for almost 10 minutes before the enthusiasm about a new fallout game completely overshadows him.

    A few years later no one's ever heard the name Zuckerberg outside of memes about that one oligarch who got melted by the space aliens shortly after first contact.

    It turns out he's the reason they came here, "You can't let those things get established on your planet, clearly your people didn't notice but that wasn't a human. That creature was a mimic and it would have consumed you all if you let it. We're going to station a few folks here in case another one shows up... and you got to clean this place up it's a mess down here. "

    When the cost of living is so high the cost of dying needs to be levied on the ones responsible.

  • One time I went to the restaurant DAMON BAEHREL. I was informed afterwards that it had a 10-year waiting list and only seated 100 people a month. Despite having regularly commuted between the Midwest and the East Coast, getting there felt like the longest road trip I've ever taken since I had to go with my mother-in-law and some of it is on a gravel road.

    I had to Google DAMON BAEHREL to spell it and I'm not going to bother retyping it.

    It was far and away the most pretentious, absurd, cartoonishly fancy experience I've ever had, and I've dressed up in antique ceremonial Moroccan robes for a banquet at the art museum in the city I grew up in. At the art museum I sat next to the mayor's mother in a room of 200 people conversely, about 30 people total could fit into DAMON BAEHREL.

    I thought the art museum banquet was fancy, but when I was little I thought Boston Market and IBC root beer were fancy.

    DAMON BAEHREL was the kind of place that serves a dozen 'courses' but each one is like one cracker one sliver of cheese and one spritz of condiment with maybe a sliver of sausage made from some bespoke farm animal. He insisted that the water we were drinking was actually unreduced tree sap. Everything was served on various slabs of wood some with the bark still on it. The slabs were so much larger than the food It looked like putting a coin on a serving platter for each course.

    I just felt embarrassed every time I looked at the Damon and his staff. They had clearly heard his bullshit so many times that it was hard for them to feign credulity anymore.

    Anyway, that shit was way too fancy for me. Clearly it was just wasted on me.

    Aside from that, I replaced two of my mismatched odd shaped PC monitors with 27" 4k monitors and the difference is amazing. The monitors were so cheap too only $110 each. Together with my super fancy main screens it really cleaned up the desktop.

  • If the cube is wiped in a single shot, there might not be enough borg left with enough data to adapt. They aren't adapting magically, they are able to analyze the shot and adjust their shields to block shots.

    Ill bet, if they could sneak up on some cubes they could pop a few before the Borg really got wise.

    I'm trying to afford groceries here, It's not 90 days payable It's pay-per-play. I'm tired of trying to finance an inhaler while the boss's favorite child can't decide on a font color and thinks that 5 minute phone calls at 7:30 on a friday are free.
