Chomsky is the guy that said Ukraine should just surrender to Russia, right? Truly a great example of living king enough to become the villain, and not in a Batman way.

The slave owning flying guy from Tatooine with a gambling problem?
Have you heard Mohammed Ali or George Foreman speak now?
Also, what do you think will be the discourse when OJ’s brain is confirmed to have CTE? If we have proven cases of brain damage dramatically altering personality, if a person with CTE commits a crime, are they responsible? I’ve heard people with long term use of certain drugs have “dead spots” on functional MRI scans; would those same scans reveal similar results for people who have experienced a TBI or ten?
Science, always providing answers that lead to more questions.
I’ll outright say it. Other than The Prestige and the later Batman movies, Nolan movies have been very disappointing to me. They’re not clever, they’re pretentious. If you ever saw that Netflix movie where the woman dated Keanu Reaves, the part where Keanu asks the chef for a meal the plays with the concept of time is every Christopher Nolan movie in a nutshell. Also, the action sequences in Batman Begins were unnecessarily choppy, and the idea that it was somehow how a bat would see them is just silly.
If it’s extra sweet she might be diabetic.
You know how you know when Newsom’s lying? His lips are moving. He knows Climate Change is an existential threat, but also that he’s rich, so his family won’t face the effects the way the 99% will. The closest he’ll get is his vineyard will use more water, but don’t worry, I’m sure there’s some PUC decision that will keep his water rates artificially low.
California’s current leadership doesn’t really care about climate change, because if they did, the PUC wouldn’t disincentivize rooftop solar through NEM 3.0 and would instead offer tax credits. It’s too bad the common citizens of this state aren’t valued like the profits of Newsom’s friends at PG&E.
Heck, if they really cared, electric vehicles would be progressively subsidized so more working class people could afford them. Instead, workers keep older ICE vehicles longer because they’re paid off (hopefully) and replacements are financially out of reach, even if they’re much cheaper to operate. It’s like housing. A reasonable mortgage payment is much cheaper than rent, but if you are paying rent, you likely don’t have the down payment to get an affordable monthly payment. A house down the street went into escrow the day after listing at $1.7 MM. The nearly identical house next door to them gets $4-5k a month in rent. How is anybody going to have enough money saved up to get their mortgage into a reasonable range, setting aside the $1500 a month for property taxes? The family living next door would need a down payment over $1MM to get even close to their current rent, which is already $50-60k a year! Just their rent is more than the median income for one person, so they likely wouldn’t qualify for a loan that’s exactly the same amount as their current rent even with that staggering down payment.
It’s a good thing “AI” is just renamed pattern recognition and not actual intelligence or we’d be in real trouble.
If I were to guess, a person on horseback will use a long stick to place an explosive directly on an armored vehicle in motion before 2025.
I’d love to hear more about the frequency hopping thing. What devices would I need, and how difficult is it to program?
Part 2 could be about those unique individuals who reload 22LR.
I’m Jewish, and having lost far too many relatives to centuries of bigotry in Europe culminating in the Holocaust, you can bet I’m not giving up my weapons. I don’t care what anyone says, I won’t vote for a single Dem because any compromise puts my family at further risk. It doesn’t take a history degree to look at the world and see that having limited methods of defense is all but guaranteeing another pogrom starts claiming my family. Heck, the police are all very cozy with the groups spouting Great Replacement propaganda and the Dems want me to believe the police will keep my family safe? How’s that working for other minorities?
I’d say GOAT should be a Council of greats, like the Jedi Council but without the religious extremism and child soldiers. I’d like to nominate a couple for this council:
Wilt Chamberlain- go look up his records
Andre the Giant - his drinking records alone should put him on the Council, but reportedly he was a very nice person as well
Dolph Lundgren - he plays a meathead in Expendables movies, but he’s a legit genius, as well as a literally massive human
Steve Wozniak - he managed to build the PC despite Steve Jobs being a colossal dick
Saint Olga - she took vengeance and raised it to an art form
