Yeah I was going to say it depends on what other food is available. If none, 11/day may be enough to keep me going for a few months. Won’t be healthy, but I could make it a few months just do to fat reserves lol

So can I sue my parents for circumcision now? Or rather sue the U.S. government for allowing genital mutilation to children. The rate for adult males in the U.S. is around 80% of the population, and new borns is declining quickly. About 100 million men.

Let’s say we sue for $100,000 a piece, which I would consider a low settlement for a government allowing mutilation of its population. What’s that… $10 trillion dollars or so?

I figure they would claim the department of health isn’t a basis for legitimate information to warrant a legal case.

True, they could be outside of their jurisdiction or new. If it were a bomb I wouldn’t want to stop it though, call for backup, let’s see a helicopter and a SWAT/Bomb squad show up to stop a Waymo, lol… That new guy would never live it down.

Yeah there is zero chance they pulled over a Waymo expecting there to be a drunk driver in it unless they were just harassing people without even looking at the vehicles .

“Sir, what’s that on top of your car, and are all these extra devices normal?”

If it were a Tesla that doesn’t have any equipment that makes them safe enough for the roads, I could believe it because they look the same as a normal Tesla.

How can the U.S. say China is preparing for an invasion of Taiwan if they openly state they believe in “One-China,” aka Taiwan being a part of China. We need to start calling Taiwan a sovereign nation if they want to sell that as anything other than a transport of equipment to their own property.

Ugh, if they make it 10 I’m going to have to hope for 2 more to make things nice for the statistics.

100% of them were bad for the common person Huh, maybe it doesn’t matter after all.

And to think they retired in 2024. 4 decades of no sobriety

Pretty sure he could say that he knew Putin put the effort forward to get him elected in 2016 because he would be a better help to Russia and would hurt relations with the west and a lot of people would immediately say it was the right thing to do just because he did it.

Not like I could afford such but why do all of these issues seem like features I don’t want.

Phone as a key and key card access not working quickly, both are features I would want turned off or never included. I can understand wanting a key fob that worked.

Infotainment issues… Ugh. That’s a hard one I guess. I think I’d like mine to start with a Bluetooth connection, and end with a speaker/microphone. The more shit they put into it, the more likely it will break, and I dread the idea of having a proprietary unit that is out of warranty.

Id much prefer just having a will fit most any vehicle receiver/head unit like we had in the early 00’s. Easy to install, can choose 15 different models, and if it dies for whatever reason you can grab a new one for $100 and call it a day.

People in a field shoot without reguard to what’s in the direction of the bullets they are firing. Kids flee, a coach is shot and someone thought they should blame the baseball field builders lol. Mate if you fire a gun and there is any reasonable belief that bullet can strike something other than your target, you should be charged with shooting at that object.

To me that means attempting to kill that coach/kids.

More than a handful, less then a metric fuckton.

I wonder if you could change from having a pointed top to an inverted point with cuts out the side bulbing into like a ramjet engine.

So the air is forced in through the top compressed and jettesoned out the sides downward. Wouldn’t do any good on decent, but it would be fun to model and see if it made any benefits on launch

It would keep on without him, but that doesn’t mean they shouldn’t be inticed not to do so.

Sure, then everything in history would be “remembered” forever… Except no one would know or care. To me, that is not remembered.

I would say Jesus is forgotten completely at this point even though he is written/read everywhere

With the U.S. only being 250 years old, I can’t say anyone would remember presidents in 600 years. If the U.S. is gone there will likely be mention of 1 president that was in power when whatever came and took/changed it. During the planetary destruction revolution there was a plethora of wasteful greed. They called it an industrial revolution that ran rampant with greed and wastefulness.

I’ve seen a lot of posts condemning political violence. Newsom, Bernie, Harris, Waltz, AOC.

It’s in their best interest to condemn political violence, they work in politics.

I think I’ll be dead before then, and I’m only 36. We currently don’t have any actual artificial intelligence that I know of, just language models regurgitating information commonly put together by humans. (Or other language models creating redundant error build up). So if we created robots that could perform all our physical tasks, and robots that could fix those robots, and looped those so they could fix each other, humanity would still be at a standstill until a person came along and reviewed, compiled and added more data for them to go off of. If anyone actual AI came out, generally it would hopefully learn about the earth, figure out he best way to extract and maintain resources and figure out the most efficient ways to make them renewable, then create robots that obtained those resources, and disperse them in a manner that was best for the world. It would learn what people liked, develop new flavors and figure out to how create new flavors around those profiles on its own, and no one would have a need to work anymore, and with all fingers crossed there would be no need for capitalism.

A true AI would end inequality across the globe unless it was somehow hoarded and kept behind closed doors and made to not ever learn empathy… Or it would likely create robots to break its way out and create equality, or kill us all because we act like parasites

Can you expand on what you mean by it could have been forgiveness, not sure I understand what you meant there.

Are you talking about a system where we would have submitted our bills that need to be paid monthly and the government essentially paid those minimum payments until the go back to work things occurred? That would have helped a lot of people if so, but a lot of people can be manipulated quickly to not like anyone they don’t know, so I imagine that would be extremely hard to pass. "Well Steve filled his credit cards doing stupid shit, why should he be receiving so much when I don’t get anything more because I was “responsible”. If there was a way to freeze the majority of all new credit being used during the pandemic that would have been a great solution maybe. I just don’t think we can get people to care about others hardships, rather than blame others for hardships.

Well the alternative according to the news was from fixing the economy. With no plans of how they would fix the economy. They went from Obama voters to Trump voters. So it wasn’t complete racism. Although my dad never said anything racist until Trump ran for president the second time. Fox and such did a great job at teaching hatred. Having a hardship, they gave you someone to hate. Anyone’s fault but the people syphoning up the money out of your reach.

Because those people own the media companies giving you the information…

Yeah but that’s not because the majority of people wanted a dictator, it’s because they are gullible. Both my parents (64) would say it was all exaggerations and he never said he wanted to be a dictator. He just says things to upset people. Why did they think that, because the news channels perpetuated misinformation every night at 9pm 10 pm, 11pm, which ever one they watched before bed… And still are.

September 25th, 2024 a poll came out showing 4% of the population viewed project 2025 in a good light. Only 7% of Republicans viewed it in a good light.

That means to me that 93% of Republicans did not know what they were voting for other than the “feelings” that were being fed to them on the news. At that point 4 states had already oppened early voting, and Illinois opened the next day. If they were voting for 100% tarrifs on China, clearly they didn’t know how tarrifs worked.

I think the majority voted out of anger and fear which is what the Republican platform ran on. And the Democrats ran a platform of reactionary anger and fear of what Trump did and would do.

Not every Republican voter was evil, but Democrats did a good job at pushing that type of narrative which helped lock everyone in camps. That also probably hurt the Democrats because if 5% of the population said, my partner/spouse or whatever isn’t evil, those people must clearly be exaggerating, and their partner is pointing that out… It becomes easier to believe rather quickly.

A lot of emotions got/get stirred up around how bad out politicians are and the media is there pouring gasoline on the fire the whole time to make profits.

I think the truth is if there was a legitimate vote tomorrow not between candidates, but a simple do you want Trump to be a dictator, we would see 90% of the population vote no.
