Con-Air remake?

Was that country fine with this, or is it a matter of getting the flight there before they realize?

I understood that reference. God, getting old sucks.

What if we become wealthy one day?

What if you could just live comfortably for your entire life?

Aye, I could do that.

There are different kinds of players in the same game. But I agree that the whole ability to bend districts in any favored direction should be removed. There are impartial ways to determine districts that change over time with the population, but neither side likes them because it's a loss of control and potential loss of seats for both. The irony is that it would favor the left more, just like changing how we vote would favor that lean, but that gets into the issue of what "left" means in the US vs. reality, and maybe that's part of the problem as well.

He sounds like Jordan Peterson. How do you define "constitutional"? How do you define "term"? How do you define... oh shut up.

You don't have to be intelligent to ruin things. Look at Trump.

At least a thinking machine would have a reason for doing what it might do, instead of bumbling along and overshooting any safeguards left. Which given Musk's attitude, Grok would be the first and last safeguard for everything. So yeah, this is worse than Terminator.

I've seen this movie.

"The only way to keep things from crashing is to plug ~~Skynet~~ Grok in."

I don't even disagree with your points on where the party was or is, or how left Obama really is/was, but the neutering of the ACA to what we got wasn't Obama's fault. It barely got through even as a Republican-based idea, and from then for two terms on any other efforts were subjected to "just vote no" mentality.

A public option would have done more.

Yes, it would have. Damn it, Obama, why did you vote against...oh wait.

Not only doesn't understand what a tariff is, he thinks it's some magic word to make anything change and him get credit for it.

If he didn't have full blown dementia I'd say he's an idiot. The ones around him going along with it, they ARE idiots.

A) I'm just commenting on it being labeled as rage bait and not a call for action(s)

B) Absolutely go after the root cause as well as find alternatives

C) There are always alternatives

How about both? And while doing so, use applications that aren't yet subjected to those rules.
