  • Even if it had hurt or killed only the intended targets (who were correctly identified and all), and no one else, you'd have to be some kind of sociopath to celebrate something like this.

  • These beeper gifts are insane. How would Japan react if the US gave them a fake atomic bomb as a gift on the anniversary of the first atomic bomb drop?

  • This episode bends my mind, especially as someone who is almost the same age as Stewart was when this was filmed.

    It's like, wait, which Picard am I?

  • Our Mazda 3's adaptive cruise thought a car that was exiting was in our lane and hit the brakes, right in front of a car I had just passed. Sorry, dude, I made the mistake of trusting the machine.

    Incidents like that made me realize how far we have to go before self driving is a thing. Before we got that car, I thought it was just around the corner, but now I see all the situations that car identifies incorrectly, and it's like, yeah, we're going to be driving ourselves for a long time.

  • Well it also involves taking care of the families of his employees that were killed in the 9/11 attacks. But, yeah.

  • I was hoping this guy would be different, based on his back story. But, nope, clearly he's drinking the Flavor-aid as well.

  • If bird flu is such a minor issue, I say we inject it into Donald Trump, JD Vance, RFK Jr., and Elon Musk. Demonstrate how safe it is. Do it. Come on. DO IT YOU WUSSES.

  • I mean, that seems empathic to me - you are relating to her (potential) feelings.

  • This is why they came out with the new $10/month for 10 gb plan. They know the White House isn't actually going to use it.

  • Assuming the theory that tariffs pushes local manufacturing is true: We could produce our own stuff, but it takes time between the institution of the tariff and when a factory starts producing

    <item>

    , so there's still going to be a lot of expensive stuff in the mean time.

    More expensive steel (for example) means lots of things like cars get more expensive, which means fewer people can afford them...which means fewer cars to produce...which means less need for related industries (textiles, plastics, rubber, etc.), which (in general) means fewer employees needed to build those cars and supply those related industries....which means more people with less money....which means those people are going to buy fewer things, which means less money for all of the other businesses... and so on. It just spreads. Everything depends on everything else.

    You can't just build a factory and start producing say, steel, overnight. And what happens if the tariff is dropped right after you finish your factory? You're going to get hosed, so it's a huge risk - especially with someone as inconsistent as Trump.

  • "The chickens are revolting!" "Finally, something we agree on."

  • Fair, but I'm sure he's arrogant enough to believe it, too.

  • Our Mazda completely gave up trying during a heavy rain storm one time. Like, gee, thanks, the one time I could use help with knowing where the lines on the road are, and the car just is like, nah, you're on your own.

  • Troi: crashes Enterprise

  • I love how far I had to read before it was clear that it's not what Trump has; it's what people who disagree with him apparently have.

    Diseases are often named after their victims...

    Also, and this is buried in everything he is doing, but how arrogant do you have to be to assume that every person disagrees with him just because he's Donald Trump, and not because there are valid concerns?

  • I love that movie and still quote it. "And we're the chickens!"

  • But I already have to go buy a Tesler. Not doing so is illegal!

  • "Many economists are saying that the market was due for a correction..."

    I've seen that comment a few times in the last few days. They'll say ANYTHING to support Dear Leader.

  • Nah, I heard that long before cell phone cameras were even a thing.
