This "use executive orders to bluff until people treat them like actual laws" strategy is starting to get really annoying.

Every so often I hold a microsd card and I think about how much storage is on that pinky-nailed sized $20 device. Compared to ancient hard drives it is one of the few things that makes me remember "oh shit I live in the future".

Call me jaded but I am not predisposed to take the NYPD at their word.

People seem to forget about the innocent until proven guilty part, the raw amount of perjury with the theater surrounding this person is mind-numbing. If he makes it out of this he will be come a billionaire out of defamation alone, almost all mainstream news sources treated his guilt as a foregone conclusion with barely an "allegedly" in sight.

I love being called an acceptable loss, truly it will all be worth it when the rapture revolution comes.

Everyone knows the people most able to take power in the US if shit goes off kilter are the true leftists and not the batshit right wing crank militias that keep clogging up my ham radio.

The whole point is to remove the legal backing of the orders such that anyone who isn't already not complying out of a sense of morals but is enough of a mook to stop because "it's law" also stops complying.

The whole game is to bluff people into complying with any shit they want preemptively because there's no way in hell they'd get such policies through official channels.

Not to indirectly defend designer dogs but I assure you selective dog breeding has always been pretty screwed up.

Not every dog is some kickass livestock guardian, they've been making screwed up ones since before the steam engine.

these people are so mind-numbingly risk adverse they don't greenlight any new properties and tacitly reheat old ones there will eventually be a whole generation of people who never saw anything new or worthwhile from them

Another Bing reskin. Put it with the Duckduckgo, Ecosia, and the others.

If you want something that actually operates on something new under the hood consider https://marginalia-search.com/ which operates out of Sweden (though has a feature set more resembling early to mid 00s google).

Imo the main addition to that console is that face tracking made the 3d work properly.

The lengths I go to avoid swimming in public pools are unprecedented.

jesse what the hell are you talking about (but unironically)

People argued about Startrek and posted fanfiction back in the days of ARPANET, literally the earliest incarnation of the modern internet predating Bulletin Boards and relatively affordable Microcomputers.

Giving them more than two senators might lead to a senate that isn't perpetually gridlocked. That makes them dangerously close to being able to pass progressive legislation instead of nothing but mandatory funding bills with 37 pages worth of riders and pork.

The divide at that point becomes a class one, where the quality varies intensely by how rich each individual town is.

The pain comes when a struggling town can barely fund its own schools and the assistance coming from the top down to keep the lights on gets cut.

You guys are getting helpdesk jobs?

I think that has more to do with ending production on the LX Platform Challenger / Charger tbh. They haven't quite managed to gather the same hype among domestic car nerds with their replacements as those old boats had.

Finnestride is a gateway drug, it was almost inevitable that I had to move on to something harder.

The Saab Aerospace marketing team just looks on at this exchange in dismay.

That's the same thing they'd say to a cancer patient.

Depends on whether or not it acquires a supermajority when being voted on.
