“I had to sit through a 3 hour lunch at Nobu and a visit to a whorehouse with that dreadful bore Altman. What an exhausting 16 hour day.”

Clinton was a neoliberal shitbag just like Reagan and HW Bush. I’m a prison abolitionist so just take every cent he has and give it to Epstein’s (and Clinton’s) victims. Let him die poor and hated.

“Son, you need to get hard. I’m hard. Really, really…hard…”

The Jackalope actually has reasonable burger prices if you’re downtown. Like $5-6 for the basic ones

I mean, if you’re enough of a fanboy to still fw Tesla of course you’ll give his shitty diner a good review.

Yeah, most hipster burger places charge more, TBH. In Austin the standard price for a burger is now $16 without sides.

Spineless idiot

In the US the police have won multiple court cases (including cases heard by SCOTUS) that the police are under no obligation to protect members of the public except when the danger is created by the cops.

In my opinion depicting the cops as even kind of competent and interested in solving crimes is copaganda.

Still copaganda. He’s an “antihero” who is portrayed as getting the right answer the wrong way.

I remember a Fresh Air interview with a colonel from army intelligence who was very clear that torture didn’t work, forming a relationship involving mutual respect does.

Close hexagonal packing. Rigid cylinders will approximate this as well.

Yeah, watching this without knowing who either one is, the guy on the left seems pretty chill and lighthearted even when he’s tossing insults, the other guy seems like an asshole.

Wyoming too, which has even fewer people than Alaska.

It would probably be “1000s”.

Smaller roman numerals before larger are subtracted from the nearest larger numeral.

So, IX (1 10) is (10-1)=9. “LLM” would be (50 50 1000) which would probably be (1000-(50-50))=1000. It could be (1000-(50+50))=900 but that would more correctly be written “CM.”

Wow, I didn’t realize there even was a Canadian senate, I only ever hear about parliament and figured it was all MPs.

There’s some structural reasons (the senate, primarily) that American politics will almost inevitably devolve into two parties.

If I could do one thing to fix American politics it would be to abolish the senate, which gives low population states an insanely unbalanced level of influence over national politics.

I’m with you on being tired of taking the high road. I think part of that comes from the complete lack of support from our supposed allies (eg, the Democrats.)

Remember that Obama and Biden both could have gutted ICE but they didn’t. Obama in particular didn’t push for universal healthcare or comprehensive immigration reform because he wanted to “save political capital” which he never actually spent.

I suspect they are “caving” a lot like Mexico and Canada “caved” earlier-the request made is already fulfilled.

That implies he understands tech enough to destroy the drives and not just smash a random display in the office.
