Then you stop with the “Hillary *should* have won” shit.

I will take your word for it that the fantastic numbers of cars that I see in dealers’ lots regularly comprise only 76 days’ worth of sales. I highly doubt that if all car deliveries stopped in my region (Northern Nevada, in fact pretty near where Tesla is) that our lots would sell out in two months, but maybe it’s…

Sure, you do! That’s why you’re going out of your way to demean, mock, and condescend to me.

Or until his dying day.

Most carmakers have been in business for decades and have more cars built than they can possibly unload for years.  Tesla is in the rare case where demand *far* outstrips supply.

Women would have been raped on the battlefield in the old days. It really wasn’t like now. Women were routinely raped all the time generally with the blessing of society and their own governments before the Protestant Revolution and French and American Revolutions start to happen worldwide - say, 1600 or so. It used…

Please don’t divert away from how shitty Facebook is about extremism.

The problem is that we have engaged in many more bombings since 1945 and they have not panned out so well.

Yup, the arms race in modern gaming is substantial. The level of financial commitment required to sculpt next-generation assets and looks is absolutely monumental compared to the old days.

If you want to reduce the number of times game developers get paid on time from “sometimes” to “never”, and never play any new non-hobbyist games again, advocating mass piracy is a great strategy.

Thank you for the help! I will look into it.

Yup - a non-tool-assisted speedrun can’t perform moves that would be physically illegal on the original controller, as far as I know.

You have to admit, he’s been a boon to just about any industry that allows you to just forget it all and kill the pain for awhile.

I am, too, but those things happened when I was still so young as to not have a complete picture of it all. (In my head, somewhere, the map for Russia still says “USSR” - we always think things will be like our childhood.) The Iraq War was my first experience with serious American military-industrial horror, as an…

I guess if I could summarize my objections, it is that Western society’s most brilliant technological minds are endlessly discussing the fully-autonomous, entirely-theoretical “Skynet” scenario in tech conference talks and Vanity Fair articles - with absolutely no discussion of the semi-autonomous, completely real…

I’m not sure it works like that. This is reality we are talking about, and humans are pretty sensitive to actual death even at distance and in some astonishingly “psychic” cases at times. I have to believe there’s at least a level of depersonalization and desensitization of the “enemy” that’s required, and that needs…
