I can’t find the original article, but a lot of places reported on it in 2013

I love this classic steven fry bit.

In short he accidentally stumbled into a mormon tour, and they explained that in the afterlife you get together with all of your family members forever, he raises his hand and asks “but where do you go if you were good?”
4·2 days agoI mean unless there’s a primary, it’s still the better vote. It’s the hellhole we live in… We have to go with the guy who says he’s going to do good things, then disappoints us and does less than half the good he said, and adds in some bad things.
Or we can go with the guy who says he’s going to do horrific things… and then meets and exceeds all his promises.
13·2 days agoIn short zelensky didn’t jump up and down at taking a deal so insanely over the top bad that literally would have been harsher than punishments they normally put on aggressors that lost in wars. (IE if I recall it was deemed even harsher than what was put on germany after WW1, which as we know is what set up germany’s economic strife that brought ww2.
Secondly their own admission… Zelensky said he needed parlimentary approval to accept the deal. AKA this guy who’s being accused of being a dictator by trumps whitehouse… wasn’t going to decide he had the authority to sign a “Ukraine gives half of what we have to the US forever” in exchange the US that is currently lead by a guy who, has a long history of not keeping his half of bargains, will promise to protect them.
reminds me of when McDonnalds sent a newsletter to all their minimum wage employees on the best gifts to get their au pairs, and pool cleaners, and personal chefs.
18·2 days agoI mean isn’t that at least some extent technically true to a level.
I mean if we weren’t talking a shitty corporation to begin with. If this were say, a 20 year old mcdonnalds worker pirating game of thrones.
IMO the bigger concept is still rather than if they got it… defining whether using that data after the fact is legal. I mean hypothetically speaking lets just say they bought 1 copy of each of the millions of books, or bought used copies, or say had a machine that could scan every book in a library. IMO the issue shouldn’t be whether or not anyone managed to download the books in their pure form afterwards. The focus should be the AI trained on their books, is going to be distributing portions of their book to millions of people, and any potential profits of such will be going to meta and uncredited to the original authors. The idea that meta’s involvement in torrenting may have let little timmy get a copy of his text book 15 seconds faster… shouldn’t be the driving force here.
I mean I do have to actually see the video, context etc… Not that I don’t find this insanely plausible, but I also know their counter was to show every democrat that’s ever done a hand waving gesture and freezing the millisecond that it looked like the Hitler salute.
He knows how to win a knife fight… step 1, bring 300 allies with semi automatic weapons… 2. Don’t actually step into the arena.
except that it isn’t the government it’s enriching…
I don’t know, he seems to have pretty positive views for the axis side of WW2. He’d probably be thinking “what if we had smart loyal pilots like the japanese, but with nukes”. and would begin pushing for a supprise nuclear kamakazi strike against a nation that wouldn’t see it coming. (maybe canada).
Right, but the point is he’s realized that he’s been around long enough that enough things that affect him personally are coming into focus. Which is why he’s stepping down… so someone who hasn’t been effected by polio can take his place, and support the things he can’t bring himself to back.
(will note this is the opposite of a compliment, he’s a piece of shit, and only stepping down because he realizes that there are limits on how big of a piece of shit he can be, so he’s clearing the way for a newer piece of shit to continue the legacy).
So your suggestion is basically families should own an EV just for getting around home… and a gas guzzler for long distance travel? IMO the ideal should be a slow phase out of the gas cars.
Or you know… instead of needing super heavy batteries… they could have smaller batteries… if charging stations become common enough that people can relatively easily find places to stop and charge on long trips.
It’s because he’s been lately feeling a strange feeling of… having a smidge of humanity in him… IE he spoke up against a polio denier etc… He realizes that having 1% of normal human empathy, disqualifies him from the current republican party.
Just get rid of the charging stations. It’s ridiculous that EV owners should expect to charge their cars anywhere but at home or at work
why the hell is that ridiculous? People do go places other than home and work. People take road trips and vacations. Electric cars are a good thing, just because one particular brand is owned by a narcisist ruining the country.
I mean republicans I get. They don’t want to appear disloyal to trump, and elon’s threatening to oppose them. Democrats… what the hell is wrong with you guys… you already know trump finds you an enemy… why the hell make it easier
I don’t believe they are going for the same position RFK got HHS… Oz is specifically overseeing Medicare/Medicaid… sadly trump can find room for 2 medically focused junk science pushers.

Dr. Mehmet Oz, Palm Beach. Nominated as administrator for Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services. Senate confirmation required, but not yet scheduled.
27·4 days agoI’m sure some are… but I would say certainly seems to be a much larger percentage that prioritize their hatred of trans… and don’t seem to do a lot of actual reach in protecting women.
Big thing is the terf label or stereotype is generally assumed to try to make it look like you are fighting for a group, rather than fighting against. Lets say hypothetically I’m claiming to be super in favor of protecting birds, and say that I hate wind farms because they kill birds
If you never once hear me talk about house cats, or poachers, or any of 500 other things that can kill birds, you’ll pretty quickly catch on that I’m not actually pro-bird. Especially if I start reposting statistics about wind farms that have already been debunked etc…
Polygraphs terrify me, I’ve never had to do one, but I know I’m always holding in huge waves of anxiety and paranoia. Which you know is all lie detector tests do, is read signs of nervousness. Hence they have a high false positive amoung people who are anxious and are completely unable to detect anything on psychopaths and people with strong emotional control (as well as those who have learned tricks to game the system… (IE methods to make symptoms show stronger on the baseline questions so that you can lessen them on questions you are lying during).
I suppose we’ll find out when he’s in charge of medicare and medicaid.
had the native american’s been smart enough to build a wall across the ocean… none of this mess would have happened.
