Yeah we got a bunch of analysts telling us a few months ago, no they’ll leave that one alone. lol sure they’re gonna take Roe, but not Obergefell? They just have to have the balls to write the goddamn thing, putrid as it will be, and god knows he’s got 'em.
It’s because we allow property and the homes that sit on it to be a speculative market. We encourage it. The only way for property values to be high, well, it’s a supply and demand thing. If you glut the market with anything, you drive prices down. And people whose entire retirement is built on that won’t be having it, let alone the conglomerate owners…
China is trying to steer into the opposite with laws against it. Not sure how well that’s working, but they can acknowledge the issue at least.
When we say “changing hearts and minds” let’s broaden what that means
As the death of the Internet becomes more obvious, new technologies will spring up to replace it with a decentralized, non-commercial version. Already seeing apps coming out, like BitChat, that don’t use the internet at all.
He’s grabbing as much as he can for leverage, so he can trade back part of it for peace, but not all of it. Thus he still grows his empire despite having an army at its breaking point.
Steve Jobs figured it out, you just have guys parked outside the engineers’ homes, ready to kill their kids if the demo fails.
Exactly stop looking at it as a bunch of faults, look at it as a proof of concept. The bubblejet ink – I’m sorry, the inkjet bubble – will pop eventually!
Put that bad boy on the national mall so the park service can come destroy it in the night
Several countries already have them, Canada won’t extradite queer people back to the US.
Enough people have copies at this point I don’t think there’s much fucking with it. But I am also unconvinced it will result in anything meaningful.
The flex for them is, this is “consequence culture” because irony is dead
I’ve been averse to trends like this, but I did get on Facebook and Insta this summer at the urging of some friends (I run a nonprofit so it’s useful to network). By last week I had both apps on my phone and was just numbscrolling through Insta videos. Realized my mental health had gone to absolute shit in weeks. Deleted the apps andI’m feeling myself again.
It really is dangerous what they’ve created, if I didn’t have ambition, I would be right there zombified.
My neighbor introduced himself and his wife to me, and he says “Maritza,” very flat, and I say, oh maRITza" with a little flourish and tongue roll and he’s like “no, Maritza.”
They’re both Mexican and her name is pronounced the full way with their extended families, so I think the point was, don’t accent up the word I just told you. And I haven’t since.
Apparently that’s a tactic, using soldiers - I’m sorry, “agents,” domestically you have to move them to a different location or they get soft.
They’re self-identifying as fascists, openly spreading hate, and I am really loathe to see what happens next week at Pete’s little military get-together. At some point the administration will just execute someone openly, extrajudicially, to see what happens there. At some point the courts stop being even a pretext.
And just a few years ago China was basically waving off climate change by giving it lip service and then producing well over the emissions they were claiming, basically thumbing their nose at the entire global community. Now they want to play ball. Even if they didn’t come with a 30% reduction, this is a major step forward.
“it’s a map of dick” is the tagline I think
Nah truth be told the factories that produce the sterile screwworms, in Panama and Mexico, didn’t have the capacity to breed enough sterile screwworms. They were producing like 1m/month and they actually needed 3m/month to stay ahead of it, something like that. Now production is ramping up but the invasion has been faster.
Plus any male models that hang out with him and his partner long enougn
The last time they had the chance, polling told them Americans wouldn’t be happy so they left it alone.
It’s neat how they pay attention to what Americans want when it’s the politically easy thing to do.
