"Occasionally answering the questions" is not a passing grade for this debate. The minimum bar was "appear competent" and Biden couldn't pull it off. Trump didn't "win", but it's easy to see that Biden lost. I'm still going to vote blue, but Biden/Harris WILL lose us the election.
Kamala Harris is a reincarnation of the hyena of auschwitz. Actual, factual psychopath.
Kamala is plenty bright. She's just a psychopath. Zero emotional intelligence. She has no emotional empathy for any other living being whatsoever. This woman openly laughs at slavery and human rights violations. She is the modern day equivalent to the hyena of auschwitz.
And what a fuckin poison pill that bitch is. Honestly feel like Sarah Palin is more palatable.
17 after being groomed for ~3 years when dingus tried to meet up and the parents went loud with twitch. Grooming a 14 year old girl is generally considered in bad taste.
We have answered the question: can you scream with no mouth?
The answer is yes. The scream is coming from the eyes.
Well the US is one of the biggest importers of things by ship. Are we doing anything about the millions of tons of bunker oil being burned every hour of every day?
No?
Then it isn't good enough. Shipping is stage 1 fix it right now kinda shit and we are doing NOTHING about it
If Biden so good at environment, then why come ocean so hot?
QED Checkmate nerds we all gon die
Exactly. Just like a quarter into those funnel things at museums.
Just throw it at the sun. Gravity wells mean it'll get there eventually.
We have the technology. Poop balloons
A child with agency?!? Making decisions?!?? Not in MY white fright dystopia they wont!! I was abused and therefore I am entitled to abuse any child I see, because I am a child in my mind! Why would I ever address my own deficiencies when I have a political figure to scapegoat every decade or so?
I keep seeing jumping spiders that look to die for and then the reality check of their lifespans always brings me back down.
Pushing Ice by Alastair Reynolds is one of my favorite scifi books and it deals with this question in an interesting way. It proposes that Time is the great filter. Life exists in this galaxy, but intelligent life is so fleeting when considering galactic distances that the probability of one sentient lifeform finding another during their "peaks" is vanishingly small. Extinction, societal collapse, evolution to a higher form, whatever you want to imagine, it all gets in the way of the fantasy of meeting a thinking being from another planet.
Time itself is the filter. I don't think we are the first, but I don't think we will every find any other intelligent life. The universe is too big and our lives are far too short to make any sort of attempt to travel or communicate across those distances ourselves. I'm also not entirely confident our idea of what a society is will last in any meaningful way over the timespans required. Our longest lasting dynasties rarely make it more than a couple hundred years. Space is just too big for us to work with using our current understanding of physics.
No I miss old star wars content. Specifically where Luke and Leia make out and where exactly George was going with that shit.
Jokes aside, pronouns is the dumbest possible hill to die on with regards to the starwars universe. OF COURSE gender is going to work differently when you put a bunch of wildly different species together. Gender dimorphism is not some universal rule the rest of the galaxy has to follow. Hell, sexual dimorphism isn't even universal ON EARTH. why the fuck wouldn't you run into a them or xir every now and then? What about those bug people from clone wars? You think bug people are gonna have mommies and daddies or what?
No, 11,000 were effected by the recall. There's way more morons with money in this country. I'm in CA and I saw 3 of them on my 10 minute drive to my favorite pizza joint.
Maybe I'm biased because I'm a welder, but it always made more sense to me that electricity flows from the negative. Like , if the positive moved, wouldn't you change the element of the wire after a while? It also helps that you can tell the difference if an arc is positive or negative relative to the stinger depending on how the metal reacts, at least to a welder. I know that doesn't make any sense at all but it does to another welder lol
As someone who is taking Kaiser Permanente to court over their refusal to release documents, let me confirm that grievance coordinators are the most useless wastes of oxygen ever to steal air on this planet. Even having your lawyer send them the actual text of the law they are currently violating, they will refuse to do anything not explicitly outlined and approved by their policy. Fuck the law. Fuck common sense. If it's not policy, it doesn't matter.
An ominous new change in Spotify's terms for audiobook rightsholders allows Spotify to "create derivative works from" audiobooks.

> Spotify just changed their TOS, giving them unprecedented rights to create "derivative works" from audiobooks > > They frame it as though it's for user content, more likely it's to train AI, but in fact it gives them the right to do almost anything they want - up to (but not including) stealing the content outright.
