We contemporary Americans sure make the Bill of Rights look overly generous in some ways.KUTradition wrote: ↑Tue Feb 04, 2025 10:41 amnot surprised you’re ok giving liars a pass

Sorry.japhy wrote: ↑Tue Feb 04, 2025 10:22 amI have a lot of very smart engineers working for me. Smart is good. But if they are a couple of years out of school they have little practical experience. One of my partners called some of them, "calculation machine guns". You give them a task and some software and they start generating numbers like nobodies business. If you don't check in with them on occasion they may be way off on a tangent, but they have lots of numbers to show for it. Without the experience to know what is real and what is just numbers these people can be dangerous. And they don't always understand the importance of backing things up before you change parameters/code.pdub wrote: ↑Tue Feb 04, 2025 7:43 am Man, I'm not doubting that those dudes are smart, they probably are in their field at this stage in their lives, but handing that kind of power to someone who is far less likely to experience failure/grief at a high level ( because, again, only 20 years on this planet and likely shielded for most of it ) and hasn't been practicing their profession for more than what, 4 years, seems just so * math.abs(INF) stupid to do.
"Oh shit, I just deleted the whole project".
"Oh shit, the server went down for a second and I haven't backed up my work for the whole day".
They have never worked on anything with this kind of impact on millions of people. And we have no clue what they are doing, and Eloon may not either.
But it gives plausible deniability to Congress. They didn't vote for this, their constituents can't blame anyone specifically for this interruption of services they need. But in the meantime Eloon does their dirty work and will have immunity for whatever he fucks up.
But this is what the majority of voters asked for. This is what the 20 million who sat out the election didn't think would make any difference for them. This is what wasn't as important as performative votes about Gaza. This is the next four years.
It's not a lie if they tell you to believe it.KUTradition wrote: ↑Tue Feb 04, 2025 10:41 amnot surprised you’re ok giving liars a pass

A.
Trump may be overplaying his game with Canada and if he keeps it up, he is going to fuck up his psychotic plan. Canada is walking out of this rethinking their neighbors and their interactions with them and it's just going to hurt more every day Americans, especially along the northern border communities and cities.
And we're taking the blade guards off of miter saws. Real carpenters are missing at least two fingers damn it!
