No, it's likely because they don't daydream. IME, they follow traffic laws like cautious drivers do: loosely and more in the spirit than the details. But they don't run into anything, and boy that helps. A lot.

Schrodinger's Politics: Where Biden's Israel policy was the reason Trump won and also voters who voted or sat out based on Biden's Israel policy weren't the reason Trump won. Just pick one this is exhausting

Battleships are cool. Battleships are awesome. Battleships make no fucking sense in a naval war between equals today. IMHO, they might make sense as a mobile artillery platform to support a asymetric primarily ground war near the water, but damn that’s niche.

Judge-maxing is imo the one that in one reform touches upon the most possible areas of dysfunction. We have to get court processing times and judicial caseloads down. So much dysfunction in so many areas is built upon court cases taking so long.

Again, I want Republicans to tell themselves that nothings wrong all the way to next November. If soothing themselves with Cook PVI is part of how they completely blow the midterms, then sooth it up guys

Everyone is ragging on Grok for obsequiousness, no one is crediting xAI for advancements in AI alignment Golden Elon Grok

"Rent is too high!" Not enough middle housing near transit "Groceries cost too much!" Not enough middle housing near transit "Traffic is terrible!" Not enough middle housing near transit "I can't afford a car!" Not enough middle housing near transit Many problems. A simple answer.

As a white, male, homeowner, techworker, I feel like the quoted person SHOULD HAVE SHUT THE FUCK UP Oh my god. to try and grab victim status.

‘End of SNAP Benefits Could Be Good for Business,’ Says Owner of Torch & Pitchfork Emporium: tinyurl.com/48mw8sr6

1) the popo rarely investigates car theft, burglaries, identity theft, rape kits sit languishing. etc. 2) crime rates are massively lower than the 80s, but budgets are massively higher? 3) Cities bury huge taxpayer funded brutality settlements. 4) Councils have no control. The math isn’t mathing.

Warren Buffet invests in undervalued assets. I invest in undervalued people. Funny how both paths lead to BYD for the past decade.🤷🏿‍♂️ The training set for this resume data represents the accumulated and sustained market inefficiency of a highly productive workforce. Trillions of $ of opportunity.

Has to be rough on parents checking their kids candy for weed gummies to realize it’s a made up moral panic and also they don’t get any free weed gummies

It's actually really fucked to sell a pet feeder that doesn't even have the schedule stored on the device. Oh so they nuke Virginia and thousands of animals around the world just starve? That was your plan here?

Mayor Harrell Announces Police Officers Will Recite Land Acknowledgement Before Sweeping Homeless Native Americans on Indigenous Peoples’ Day: tinyurl.com/35b9yp9f

Someone help me out... When I got my mortgage, I had to state that it was my primary home. ISTR being told by the mortgage broker, when I asked, that I didn't have to do anything of that changed. Did my broker lie to me?

1. Trans women are women. Stop saying that trans women are "Men pretending to be women." 2. Sexual predator men don't pretend to be women to molest girls. That would be way too much work and effort. Sexual predator men pretend to be youth pastors to molest girls. 3. Trans men are not a "gotcha."

🤔A lot of transphobes that kept it under wraps are just completely crashing out over Gavin Newsom. If one individual trans person says, "I will never vote for Gavin Newsom." and that makes you go "I HATE YOUR WHOLE COMMUNITY! ALL OF YOU!" Then this had nothing to do with Gavin Newsom. Be for real.

You can visually see the effects of Biden's policy on mass incarceration. In 2020, he said "I'm sorry about the war on drugs, and lying about Black people and crime, and working with Strom Thurmond against you! It was an accident! I've changed!" Black people believed it. Then he did it again.🤡

A significant percent of all prisoners on Earth... Not just percent of all US prisoners... A significant percent of all prisoners on planet Earth, are Black people in jail because of laws and policies specifically pushed by Joe Biden. And he created modern US civil asset forfeiture too.

Full expecting reparations for slave owning families during the next 3 years.

OT to his point, but sometimes I hate the things that economists do when estimating inflation. If your new computer is faster for same money, then that’s obviously deflation, not inflation. You got more computer for your money. My new TV is “smart”, which is worse, not better.

But what Cloudflare describes is when they ask Perplexity "hey, go tell us what this site is about"... it goes to the site to answer that question. It's not (as far as I can tell) scanning the site for training purposes or pulling it into its larger scan info. It's just doing what the user asked.

I have a domain and get wildcard email there. And spam lists contain multiple emails on it. Which means that when new spam campaigns hit, I get multiple copies. This is usually handy for seeing new spam campaigns early 1/

this is what happens when you don't use IATSE labor on your pedophilia coverup

Well, _this_ is gonna force me to re-calibrate my "impostor syndrome" scale.

Who gave da baby da gun? You gave da baby da gun! WHY ARE YOU SURPRISED AT THE HOLES?!

I laughed so hard at this.... "I aced [an IQ test]" It was a cognitive test, you fucking moron

This thread encapsulates why I'm such a nut about housing. An affordable cost of housing enables an affordable cost of living which enables people to do cool, arcane stuff they love which makes life fundamentally more interesting.

Anyone who says "This is what they voted for" in response to the tragedy unfolding in Texas is having a vile thought and needs to sit shamefully in a corner until they learn what solidarity is.

if you are making $300k per year and you are spending so much that you never sweep your checking account to brokerage you are too fucking stupid to be making that much money.

The moderate position is now merely packing the court instead of opening up seats by sending the Gang of Six to lifetime sentences in Gitmo.

Watched @legaleagle.tv ‘s video on Disney/etc suing AI companies for infringement, and now am wondering… It can’t be THAT hard to add a “copyrighted” tag, and then doing a “golden gate Claude” type trick to force that generated images are NOT copyrighted? Can it? @theophite.bsky.social , can it?

We're just worried about you @jayapal.house.gov bsky.app/profile/owen...

Millennials (30-44) are crushing it yet again. Gen X (45-54) can get wrecked yet again. Jesus Christ I am begging Gen X to stop trying to ruin this country. Electing Trump was embarrassing enough, you poseurs.

The Back the Blue mentality is carte blanche for violence against the undesirables as determined by white Republicans.

Liberals say that political violence threatens our democracy. They’re wrong, it threatens our republic.

‘Military Parades Are Dumb,’ Says Seattleite Who Can’t Wait for Seafair: tinyurl.com/48tt94kb

Click the "contact me" button on a web page. Get a call: VERY FUCKING corporate female voice: "If I may ask, What city or region do you live in?" "Excellent! That is in our service area. Can you describe the project?"

Mine eyes have seen the glory of the strolling of the dudes They ambled up the street today before the crowds so few There wasnt much to see maybe an abram tank or two This parade is kinda mid Glory glory what a bullshit way to serve

I'd start with a list of all the J6ers he pardoned that live in the area. But I am pretty sure there's also a decent chance they'll "never find him" because he's a cop

Let’s Be Clear: The Rioting In LA Is By The Cops, Not The Protestors I already wrote about the GOP’s bloodthirsty desire to use the military on Americans. They manufactured a nonsense “crisis” by over-aggressively sending in ICE agents to grab people off the streets, leading to protests, which…

it's going to take the bottom 30% and then they will belatedly realize that it only should have taken 10%, and the 10% it should have taken is not from the previous bottom

The problem here is that that rogue wasted three rounds of combat to do 2d6+0 damage (on a contested check, expected damage ~3), and then 2d6+0 damage (save: expected damage ~4) to two more creatures. And in the meantime that lame DPS rogue did like 40 damage.

Hope other countries are excited for the LA Olympics!
