On a target that wasn’t even mapped prior to the crafts’ arrival. All they aimed for was a blurry lump of pixels, the probe had to show up and make the maps itself. 

Your entire argument falls apart when you realize that California isn’t enforcing those standards on other states.

EV’s are definitely not ideal for extremely long trips, but I’ve made plenty of long trips driving normal (80-85MPH). It basically boils down to about a 30-40 minute stop every 4 or so hours of driving. If you are routinely doing 500 mile trips, then EVs are not for you. But for the majority of the people, a long road…

You may not normally mention your bisexuality, but if you are introducing someone to your same-sex partner and they hadn’t previously known about it then you might mention it. Which is exactly what happens in the movie.

When we’re talking about queer representation in particular, yes, there is a need for things to be spelled out explicitly. Generally speaking, one’s queerness isn’t always something that can be picked up on visually in the same way that a person’s ethnicity or gender can.

One of the most basic jobs of the reader is to read and respond to the article they’re actually commenting on, not the article they think they’re commenting on. This article is about the fact that characters who are unambiguously queer in comics are not depicted this way in film. It’s a summation of a report by GLAAD.…

I’m confused - are you actually arguing that conservatives aren’t outspokenly offended by portrayals of characters in fiction that don’t conform to traditional gender norms? I don’t even know where to start, but a good place might be with Mike Pence’s hilarious criticisms of the film Mulan. You can Google from there.…

Google’s perfectly free and available for you to use at your leisure.

Who is threatened by this? Literally who?

The excited “Hi Wade!”’s and “Hi Yukio!”’s were probably my favorite running gag in the movie, which is funny because it was probably the most PG joke in the whole thing.

“People” already realised that several times in modern History. What usually follows is war, massacre and a reorganisation of the social and economical landscape. Maybe we are reaching this breakpoint again, considering that by 2030, the top 1% will hold 2/3 of all the wealth available. :(

Just in case anyone still had the delusion that Google or Amazon are your friends. This proves once again that they are not. They will gladly bow down to oppressive regimes when their cashflow is threatened.

Tesla’s stock is widely considered to be grossly overvalued. It’s a good bet that their stock valuation will eventually drop, so shorting them makes sense. I don’t think it’s reasonable to assume there’s some conspiracy afoot because of it.

The county of Los Angeles ( not the state of California ) asked tech companies not to use the term, but it’s entirely voluntary for companies to comply with the request and there’s no law prohibiting it. Such a law would be unconstitutional.

Homeopath = naturopath = snake oil bullshit artist.

It’s not just the russians. It’s the folks in Europe and the US and everywhere else really. Vast majority of politicians barely understand how a computer works besides pointing a clicking on things.

Yup, he’ll do what he did at his child custody case. He’ll claim he’s an “entertainer” playing a “character.” The fact that he states such a fact under oath in court and yet his followers still believe his b.s. speaks volumes about them.

His prior court appearances in custody battles with his ex had him claiming that it’s an act. That he really is a racist, misogynist, crypto-fascist asshole is probably true, but he doesn’t actually believe most of the stuff he spouts, any more than Fox News hosts generally do, and he’s also known to stage things.
