I agree. Although I'm never really sure in these situations.

I never tweeted myself but I liked to follow a couple of local news outlets and out local government agencies for public notices and emergencies. I gave up when stuff from Elon and a bunch of right wing stuff populated my feed. I rarely saw anything of interest. I started using Facebook for that. At least the local stuff pops up in addition to the crazy stuff.
It doesn't matter. He won't be willing to extend any programs from the Biden administration just because.
I really don't understand the hype about AI in it's current state.
The fact that no bond companies would accept real property as a collateral for the bond and only liquid or easily liquified assets points to the properties being leveraged to the hilt. If he ends up having to pay even a portion of this and has to start selling properties we should see a true picture of his financial status.
I don't understand why he would be allowed to borrow money for this purpose. Seems to me that would be an opportunity to commit more fraud by using properties at inflated values as collateral.
I'm not surprised this was her strategy. Seems likw the easiest way to avoid perjury.
He's got to be fuming. He's managed to go 75 years without ever being held accountable by anyone for anything. And now it's happening. He'll drain the RNC by August.
I've never heard of pigeon management but I have heard something similar described as playing chess with a pigeon as someone who "knocks all the pieces over, shits on the board then struts aroind like they've won".
I can't get over the quote from the bills author when he says "Give me a break". In my district in the last election there were 3 candidates running for the state Legislature and they all tried to out conservative eqch other.
Kind of has a Willy Wonka "no, don't, stop" vibe
I'm really worried about the future of the country. I live in deep red Louisiana and all of my family and friends are hardcore Trumpers so I can't discuss any of my concerns. My vote won't matter so all I can do is hold out hope that Harris/Walz can take the swing states.
Obligatory xkcd reference https://xkcd.com/37/
WI have completely lost the ability to distinguish satire from reality. I'm assuming this is real but damn if we don't live in the worst timeline.
There really isn't much good FOSS software in the CAD/Engineering world. I've tried the 2D and 3D solutions that I've beena able to find and they are missing way too many features or the learning curve is crazy steep. If anyone knows of good CAD software let me know, I'd love to try it.
I tried to watch it earlier this evening. It was brutal. He can't finish a thought. I would love to fact check some of the claims he made but it would be nearly impossible without a room full of analysts.
I was never active in terms of posting but I followed several news outlets, local government agencies, and a few friends. Shortly after Musk took over I saw nothing but right wing nutjobs and a lot of posts from Musk. I tried unfollowing but nothing worked so I quit logging in. I need to cancel my account but haven't taken the time.
Given the makeup of the Legislature and who our current Governor is this is pretty much a done deal.
Louisianian here. We're seeing a lot of wildfires in marshy areas due to the extreme drought conditions. The marsh grass is really dry and several areas near me have experienced these fires in normally wet areas that would not burn.
I think it's mostly aboit the massive carbon footprint of a private jet and Elon has a rep for really short frequent flights.
Didn't W divest a bunch of stuff and setup a blind trust for the same reason. And if I'm remembering correctly didn't the peanut farm had been Carter's family for a while so he gave up something that meant something more than money.
Does he know what Marxism is?
I noticed this before I left Reddit last summer. Except for a few smaller niche subreddits that had decent discussions, everything else seemed like bots. I also noticed a lot of my comments and replies were deleted for no apparent reason so I quit participating. I do miss Reddit from the time period mentioned but nothing stays the same and it's time to move on.
This is probably just theater. Iran can't look weak but they really don't want to pike the bear.
I think the reason it was such an issue with Trump is I can't think of another president that had the infrastructure (i.e. his hotels) to make revenue via emoluments.
Very few people can recognize that level of dissonance. They have twisted stuff in their minds so long it's impossible to see it.
I worked at a major public university for 14 years during the late 90s / early 00s. This happens more than people realize.
I definitely agree about the vibe being different in the mid 90s to the early 00s. Lots of passion and energy about the tech. I don't think it's all gone but it's definitely nowhere near as intense.
I'm pretty sure most of his properties are extremely leveraged.
I don't know if you're from Louisiana but the percentage of voters electing these guys is much higher than 20%.
It really should be the guy rubbing his nipples from "Informative Murder Porn"
It's pretty disappointing.
I live in Louisiana near the location of the unprecedented flood in 2016 that occurred during the Presidential campaign. He made a trip to one of the relief centers, handed out some toys that had been provided by a charity group, shook hands with some emergency and relief workers, then left. After this photo-op, I had to listen to friends and family about how much Trump had done for the relief effort and Obama had done nothing. It was our paper towel moment.
I'm sure Ben Shapiro will work wokeness into it somehow.
It's using the kids to punish the parents. Members of my wife's family claim to be Christians but support these types of policies and don't see the problem. I've had to check out when yhose discussions come up.
That's a common misconception about hospice. My Dad spent the last year of his life in and out of hospice with the the last 5 months in hospice care. The main difference is hospice is strictly palliative - no heroic measures if some major event happens.
I don't see how Reddit ever becomes consistently profitable. I don't think they can do it with ads and I can't see a future where a significant number of redditors pay for a premium version of the service.
Sadly this is a prime example.
What were they expecting? He showed everyone who he was and they still voted for him.
