As always, most of their effort will be used to try and stifle progressives.

So, he's mad at Trump for doing exactly what he was campaigning on when Rogan endorsed him?

Meh. The only possible reason to keep accumulating after a billion is for respect and power. I'm pretty sure Elon has fucked up both to the point where most of his money gets him nothing. I'm pretty sure he is headed to a "death of despair" type ending before long.

/raises hand

I'll do it. After all, I can't possibly fuck it up worse than the last guy.

Take down the Internet Act

At least where these satellites go it's not something that would be a real long term problem. They are low enough that the time for the orbits to clear would be measured in years, not decades or centuries.

Democrats can start winning whenever they choose. They just choose wealthy donors over messaging that would win elections. Bots would be irrelevant.

It gets a bit more complicated when that four year old is a member of tren de agagua.

If the US is going to follow through on the threats then they better do it quickly. It won't be too long before Trump has the US armed forces functioning about as well as Russia's.

Awe, c'mon please educate me.

LOL, more ad hominems and zero content. You guys are a hoot.

I see half a dozen ad hominems there, but nothing saying I'm wrong, nevermind refuting it. Yeah, that's about right for hexbear.

Yeah, because an occupation of Ukraine by Russia wouldn't turn the whole country into an even bloodier warzone. /s

Appeasement just leads to bigger wars. Aggression can't be rewarded or tolerated away.

I'm on the older end of Gen Xers and at least the nerdier half of us not only know how to use computers, but we've seen the whole evolution of home computing since the Altair. We know in a way you never can why goto is considered harmful.

I guess that means Europe is free to deploy troops to the front lines in Ukraine then. Only seems fair.

What has really changed in that time that the servers can't support sending commands to them anymore.

The discovery of the higgs boson changed everything we thought we knew about the notion of room temperature. It's just not the same world those old thermostats were designed to operate in.

I didn't predict it yet.. it somehow feels like I should have.

I'm really interested in Aptera if they can get it to production. It's probably more of a nitche vehicle, but I could see it fitting the needs of a lot of people.

It's just a common rhetorical tool used by fascists. If people don't know when you are telling the truth and when you are "joking" you can say whatever you want and then judge public reaction before deciding whether or not to own what you said.

It's bad enough to do that in a two party system like the US. In a multi party system, if all the parties are terrible, just form a new one if you care that much.
