Fools and their money.
Why do so many fools have so much money?
Corrupt judge makes corrupt ruling. We’re going to be untangling 2016 for generations.
I remember the one where somebody killed themselves but tied the gun to a rope so it would slide down behind a wall and disappear
No shit.
You’re right, but the reason that hasn’t caught on is that talking to your “smart” house is stupid. You can’t possibly program every possible command or situation, and telling Alexa to dim the lights in your kitchen to 40% is slower than using a dimmer switch. Actual smart homes are automated to the point where you don’t need to talk to your room.
Alexa was never supposed to make money by itself. It was supposed to do two things, collect information and lower the barrier to buying things.
They must have either collected enough data to lower the value of collecting any more, or they have realized that people got over the novelty of asking Alexa to order more dog food.
My guess is the latter, because buying anything from Amazon now requires 15 minutes of research to make sure it’s actually what you want and not at some ridiculous marked up price. I wouldn’t trust Alexa to pick the best result on the first try.
Because humans are inherently selfish and prone to fallacious thinking.
This is a shitty thing for Disney to have done.
But it’s not illegal.
We should make it illegal. And we should all have Unions.
Capitalists are gonna capitalize. Expect no quarter.
Ah, my mistake.
Bear anatomy does not permit a bear to speak with a Peruvian accent.
OK, but in this story, “they” is federal judges in an actual position of authority who recognize the threat and possess the means to a remedy. I’m not like sitting in a field, staring up at the stars, wishing someone could cure my lonely condition. I don’t want someone to do something, I want these two judges to force Aileen Cannon to step aside like they suggested she should.
They can do something, they know what should be done, and they do nothing because they lack the political will. If enough people stand up and demand action, we will see action.
That’s something we can do. That’s something I’m doing right now, and it’s something you’re discouraging for some reason.
Well, I’m not able bodied, but even in my prime I never had the skills to track down and murder anyone, much less a famous judge. I assume that’s what you’re suggesting, and I’m not capable, morally, financially, or physically of committing such an act.
Not to mention, if we can overcome fascism through democracy and the rule of law, our nation will be stronger for it, and new fascists will die on the vine. If we use violence to achieve our goals, we create martyrs and inspire zealots. We will reap what we sow.
I’m with you that we need phev’s to bridge the infrastructure gap, but electric motors provide more torque at lower speeds without the need for gears.
But if I don’t have three particles, 1/3 requires division.
I do not have the authority or the capacity to remove anyone from the bench, not by any means. What are you suggesting?
Wait, is this satire? This really happened.
Be a whole lot cooler if they publicly removed her from the bench. I’m pretty fucking tired of “reasonable” people expecting fascists to do the right thing and voluntarily cede power.
But you could make that same argument for a lot of fractions. 1/3 doesn’t exist because you cannot divide a quantum in three. 0.333 repeating means that eventually you have to divide an indivisible foundational particle in thirds.
Because Conservativism is not an ideology. It’s narcissism dressed in a stoic costume. Conservatives believe themselves to be righteous, so they support policies and legislation that benefit themselves. They gain followers by promoting a sense of belonging so they can defend the self and attack the other. There is no lie to brazen, no hypocrisy too obvious, no depth too low for a conservative seeking power, because they are justified by their identity. If the conservative is good, then anything the conservative does or says is good while they are doing it or saying it.
When they can no longer hold power through politics, they always fall back on fascism and bigotry.
