We wanted to but I had trouble getting a copy. I normally don't have that problem with films but every torrent was being seeded by people with BPD.

A group online. We do movie nights on Friday night.

I'm the ffmpeg guy. It's the pandoc of binary media, except it actually does do everything.

Hmmm. I need to write an PR for converting mardown to jpeg.

Does that invalidate what he said? Isn't that just the genetic fallacy?

True. But the US has a tendency to make exceptions for Israel. So the fact that he stuck to his math and didn't get Israel a special exception is a small win for US Israel relations. (aka making them more normal).

Basically it's exceptional that we didn't make an exception. That's kind of sad. But because it's exceptional it's worth noting.

That's called chutzpah. People who take that strategy in life should be ignored.

My position is that no politician deserves respect.

This is why we should end all federal policing. It's not in the constitution. You were never meant to interact with your federal government. The federal government was for regulating the states, interstate commerce, and common defense.

I wonder if Canadians can read and learn that their own tariffs are causing the same problems for them.

Which is pretty true. But it's funny because Canada has tougher tariffs on the US meaning their people pay more for things there for exactly the same reason. Canada charges a 300% tariff on dairy.

So yeah. Tariffs are bad. Let's get rid of them entirely.

So instead you'd like protectionism for corporate moguls because at least it isn't free market?

Found the communist so dedicated to communism that in turn he hates the free market so much that he'd prefer government backed inequality. Anything that points out that its wrong should be questioned as suspect as wrong think. It's funny how useful the anti-wrong think crowd end up being to corporations.

What makes you think he supports Trump? What a strange comment.

Jokes on them. I'm going to use AI to estimate the value of content, and now I'll get the kind of content I want, though fake, that they will have to generate.

Bring on the downvotes but the correct answer is don't. Free trade causes jobs in each country to align with recardiant advantage in those countries. We have the jobs we want now. Unless we are in the middle of a depression we don't want government to "provide more jobs". We don't need more jobs. We want better jobs. The whole reason why manufacturing has slowed down in the US is that the global market for manufacturing doesn't pay as well per man hour as other opportunities we already have.

Tariffs disrupt existing jobs to bring back old jobs. Old jobs we shouldn't want as much as the jobs we have now.

If you want to work a job that someone else is doing right now you should probably expect to make close to what they are making while doing it. Actually less because you are increasing supply. Do we want Americans to make Chinese wages? Now some manufacturing in the US doesn't pay Chinese wages because its work only we can do, hence why it is here, and pays American wages. But if you want to "take back manufacturing" then you are talking specifically about manufacturing they have already demonstrated they can do. So any of that manufacturing will pay at most a Chinese wage. Why the hell would you want those jobs?

How am I not aware of that being a thing. I looked it up to confirm my stupidity but I ended up finding what I thought I would find. Syrup to add to coffee. I have never heard of anyone selling a concentrated coffee syrup.

Ok. That's valid.

In theory that kid was alive because his parents were fucking morons.

But they have a little less than 60% of the total US gold reserves.

Do you want the government to give you some gold?

That's called the genetic fallacy.

I think a society that is afraid to talk about sex is even more afraid to argue about what is actually a reasonable age of consent and assume whatever is the current answer is the right answer. That's generally the purpose of making people afraid to talk about a topic. Blind acceptance of a current answer.
