"If you let enough of an internal catastrophe strip you of all your inadequacies, maybe you won't need an external catastrophe to teach you the lesson."

I had an idea for something like this at one point. Still do, might be time to get back to working on that

Damn... I'll be honest I did not expect him to give Trump any props...

I will pass on this. How about making this opt in. I will refrain from using group chats over this.

Protocol Hitobashira? 🤔🤔🤔

This is a WILD position to take when there are women who are raising $1M for one who killed her kids and it seems like most women want her to get away with it!! Are you fucking INSANE!? Yeah... he kinda is actually. He should have just stayed out of public light and enjoyed the easy life in retirement.

A real possibility. Very well could be happening at some scale. The problem is that this is HIGHLY shameful behavior. There is no way that the dudes who actually pay for this stuff would ever actually admit to it. The people with the time and money to set up shells and layers between them and the actual account, will! There are rumors and discussions of US military members who are paying thousands a month to these women. Paying some chick to get naked and talk to you on the internet, while in the military creates a very conflicting image. I have my suspicions on a few coworkers who I would not be surprised to find out actually do have an account and/or have paid out to some of these women.

I suppose more than anything I am going to be forced to get over my reluctance to name things. There are some things that I want to make that would make the game different enough to make mine different from the one that inspired it. Maybe I will get better at naming things as I build this out.

In the last two years we have seen a group of men who have said, "when we get into office we are going to do this!" When it was clear that they won an election and were going to get back into office many, many industries knew that these men were 100% determined to do what they said they were going to do. As a result companies started making the necessary changes and have changed entire manufacturing processes and cut out certain ingredients from our food!! This is just from one man saying we are going to attack the problems in the food supply to make the country healthier. The did not wait for the guy to get into office and actually make the changes to force the companies to comply. The companies in the free market made changes based on the commitments and words of people they knew were going to go full steam ahead on their plans. There is no reason this should not also happen at the state level! CA and OR can both have a governor who says "we will do X, Y, and Z!" and companies should begin the transition to fall in line with the plans and trajectory of said governor. CA should have a high speed rail up and running. OR should be running entirely on hydro and solar. Instead the states are plagued by terrible parasites who lie about what they are going to do instead of properly serving the public. The west coast as whole has vast untapped potential to be able to dominate the country, and the world, in a handful of niches. We need better leadership in order to make that happen!

No one was ever doubting that such a large economy could run entirely on clean energy. CA could operate 100% on solar if you would remove your head from your ass and get the state up to par to be able to handle the transfer. YOU could have been the one to enable it IF you were serious about showing the world what a state could do, but you didn't! You wasted your opportunity to do so just so you could line your pockets and look good on tv...

Judicial overreach. DENIED! Fuck off!

No faster way to get me to oppose your platform than this... Sony can not die fast enough if this is what they are genuinely thinking of doing...

Yo WHAT THE FUCK!?!? $100,000/yr?!? ARREST THE GOVERNOR!!!

Need me a vehicle with a bench front seat

For me to justify saying ILY I feel the need to be able to financially provide all that is needed to maintain stability long term. As the one who bares the responsibility and duty to maintain the household, I do not think that I could maintain stable emotional connection. Other things comes first in order for the latter to be possible. Whether or not I feel I deserve it is kind of irrelevant.

You cheating is alive and well in CA. You shut down investigations into where CA taxpayer money is going! How dare you try and pretend that what you are doing is anything other than helping cover up massive crimes and egregious violations of public trust! You deserve to rot in prison for life just for the way you have handled the high speed rail in CA!

Savage!! He is entirely right though! MOUs are nothing more than theater to try and say something got done. No fucking shit we understand that we need to do something. The solution is not to sign a worthless piece of paper that says we understand things must be done. How about having a REAL sit down discussion into how these things can be achieved?! Commit to having certain actions complete and give a time frame in which they will be done!

I will have new found respect if Meta can pull it off and knock apple off their perch. Apple has been coasting on rent seeking behavior for over 15 years and it is high time that stopped. I am still salty over the fact that apple old American strategic dominance for cheap compute. I am hoping that the new Zuck will do the right thing and find a way to build up the new tech/compute innovation factory inside of America where it belongs. Time will tell, best of luck Mark! I will be glad to see someone take the crown from apple!

Can we please STOP going thinner!?!? Yes, the chips and the tech got better which means you can cut down a lot on the space inside and make a smaller phone, instead of making it ever thinner, keep the same footprint and pack more battery and better thermal management! It would better justify the increase in price!

Where is that bald guy to call Google a fucking idiot that doesn't know what they are talking about? He sure is being real quiet when it is his business daddy doing the thing he was railing a specific billionaire against...

People who refuse to use AI are putting themselves at a massive disadvantage. You going to handwash all your dishes, your clothes and wash yourself in a bucket? It is not laziness to use modern tools at our disposal. I would feel unable to create without being able to turn my words into a video game. Do you have any idea how long people have craved being able to take words and turn them into a thing?!
