Fair enough. I don’t live in LA, and I’m not an expert, but it’s my understanding that the LAPD were REALLY bad and are now much less bad. I think the NYPD were and are basically a violent drug dealing gang who run NYC. Some of them, I imagine, are good people... Quite rapey as well, to my understanding... That’s what…

I don’t know why I’m posting this, but my read of his comments is that if you traced back any of our family trees back to the monkeys there is probably a rapist or some incest at some point. That seems likely to me, even in recorded history Genghis Khan is related to a pretty sizable chunk of humanity... I don’t know…
Has it? I thought that the LAPD really cleaned up their act at one point,and went from one of the worst big city police departments to one of the better ones. I’m sure they aren’t perfect, but are they really worse?
In a world of negative real interest rates, are we in like a bizzarro world capitalism, where debt generates wealth? “Gosh, you must owe a lot of money to fund such an extravagant lifestyle!”... “We are losing billions of dollars, and intend to continue losing billions of dollars for the foreseeable future. We are…
He’s not suggesting atmospheric geoengineering, he’s suggesting giant space mirrors to block the sun. It wouldn’t be cheap, but I can’t see how it wouldn’t work. Not to say people shouldn’t study and plan, and maybe I am missing something, but if the sunlight never reaches Earth it won’t warm it. And it might a lot…
You can argue that 1000 a month is insufficient, but it’s $1000 a month more than our current UBI of zero. And if an extra 12k a year won’t make much difference to you, you are probably doing pretty well. I mean, world median income is what, 3k a year? With free public health care that you can't live on 12k plus a…
It takes place by blocking incoming solar radiation from getting to earth at all. It does produce some emissions and make some billionaires happy, but so does everything, and the effects shouldn’t be large. Personally I don’t think we should damage the earth just to annoy Musk anyway. It’s not an ideal plan, but it…
A fair bit of the Pacific Northwest tends to be literally on fire these days, it seems to me...
Someone doesn't know their caviar...
I'd buy THAT for a dollar!
How many farmers are really inheriting farms worth more than 12 million dollars in an average year, and are unable to pay the what 10-40% tax on the value over 12 million? American farmers have 99 problems, but inheriting tens of millions of dollars ain’t one.
Isn’t it child pornography? Where the child was apparently threatened and beaten and forced to perform? Where do you draw the line on films being objectionable?
Ya, no petting the dog was the demand I found wierd. I’m not going out of my way to pet a dog, but if your dog comes up to me looking for a pat, I don’t care if you are ARE the king of England. No dog petting is a good rule for people who have adopted aggressive shelter dogs, but that shouldn't be the royal family.
Hunter had maybe the best campaign coverage of all. His call that Nixon had sold the Republican party out to Reagan and the Dixiecrats was spot on.
I mean, they do that sometimes, like when the gangs drove up avacado prices some blamed the rise in price on avacado prices, which made sense. But it wasn't any three percent, avacados went way up for a bit...
It is a pretty hot take, it’s not that unrealistic that people give things uncreative names, like New York or einsteinium or Newfoundland. You may not like it, but on a scale of movie improbability it would hardly rate. Engineers in the real world used unobtanium to describe overly expensive nonsense before avatar…
There are, but you will miss a lot. I mean obviously willful ignorance is doing pretty well in America today, but it’s annoying to people who like to know stuff...
Screenshot or it didn't happen.
Which made Aocs reply that she KNOWS the government of the country she comes from is terrible, and she IS trying to fix it quite good IMO.
