The perfect material for Tesla’s new cyberboat

AI salesman: We could easily automate hundreds of government tasks!

Me: Correctly?

AI salesman: Let’s not get ahead of ourselves…

To be clear; the items in my list are my rebuttals to the now-deleted comment I was replying to.

I.E. those are the things I was asserting as being true, not the things I was disputing.

It’s hard to tell where to start with all the things wrong with what you’ve said:

1. Palestinians include people of multiple religions.
2. Muslims do not believe they are God’s “chosen ones”
3. Neither does Islam have any concept of birthrights based on religion.
4. Palestinian claims to Jerusalem (and Palestine in general) aren’t based on religion but rather the fact that it actually is their land.

It’s sounds like you’ve been taken in by Israeli propaganda that tries to misrepresent the root causes.

The real root cause is colonialism. It’s not about religion at all except as an excuse to colonize the region.

Your wife is right.

Most of the signs of aging are really just the cumulative effects of repeated skin damage, and the two most common causes of that damage are sun exposure and smoking.

This is old. I’ve seen this image long ago… well before AI slop was a thing.

I was in college in Texas when it happened. I don't remember anything closing.

All of my classes kept to their regular schedules.

Adding on to this; I'd be very surprised if there was a locality within the U.S. that didn't require every building to have carbon monoxide detectors, but again, voting doesn't even have to occur within a building.

In short, no.

Voting in the U.S. is run by the individual states, and each one sets their own rules and policies.

The federal government does set some minimum rules that only apply to federal elections, but those rules don't even require the use of voting booths: https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/CFR-2024-title11-vol1/pdf/CFR-2024-title11-vol1.pdf

That was a mistake in my original post. I meant to say that you DON’T specify a political affiliation when you register.

Thanks for catching that, I edited the original post to fix it.

The bomb threats were real. I never said every item on the list was fake… it’s the list itself is B.S.

Mixing real voter suppression techniques along with easily debunked fake ones makes the real ones more likely to be dismissed.

That’s why I said these sorts of misinformation posts make it harder to fight back against voter suppression.

Texas doesn’t have registered Democrats because you don’t specify a party affiliation when you register to vote in Texas.

I’m not going to spot check the rest of the items, but this list is at least partially B.S. so the whole thing is suspect.

Yes, the Republicans cheat and voter suppression is the only thing that keeps them in power, but spreading misinformation about that voter suppression makes it harder to fight, not easier.

I’m glad I took the time to watch that. That was wonderful.

“At the time, the FDA could only withhold approval for 60 days at a time, so she continually requested further information from the company every 60 days for over a year.”

That’s beautiful! What a bad ass move.

No, that’s not a fetish.

People only call that a fetish because of ingrained racism.

They think interracial dating is somehow abnormal or unnatural, which is how they land on the term “fetish”.

I.E. someone is telling on themselves when they suggest that interracial dating is a fetish.

Translation: he posted incoherent nonsense and once anyone with half a brain looked at it they had to explain that it was completely impossible.

There’s no such thing as a “tariff” on intellectual property. Tariffs are a tax on bringing physical goods into the country.

There’s no physical good being brought through a port of entry for foreign made movies, so claiming to put a tariff on that just shows that you have no idea what tariffs are.

Demonstrating once again that he has no idea how tariffs work.

Tariffs are taxes on the importation of physical goods and they’re charged at the port of entry.

Movies aren’t physical goods and they don’t go through a port of entry.

There’s literally no way to put tariffs on foreign movies but Trump is too stupid to understand that.

The closest thing they could do is charge tariffs on DVDs, and that would have zero impact on anything.

There’s also “Dracula Daily” which starts at the same time and is a great way to micro-dose the novel.

Madame Web wasn’t actually bad.

It wasn’t good either, but also wasn’t bad.

The thing that stands out most to me about this “all-female flight” is that it’s the only Blue Origin flight that used form fitting uniforms.

That really makes it clear as day what the goal was and how they view women.
