Are you expecting that the for-profit college will go back and retroactively rescind degrees? What's the end-game for re-running the thesis?

TehWorld ,

The more ineffectual the USA is, the easier it is for PuttyPoot to enrich himself. He’s spending a TON of money to buy an entire wing of a political party.

TehWorld OP ,

If they need to cut power, I'll suggest that they start with this address: 1010 Colorado St, Austin, TX 78701

TehWorld ,

Actually, no! Once the really BIG human die-offs start, the hyperwealthy will 'bunker up' for a while and once the population shrinks back down, we won't be putting out all that greenhouse gas anymore, and the earth will cool back down. They'll keep a few cities in places like Norway or what have you around to keep providing food and fuel for their choppers and parties.

He’s just going to relaunch as WarInfo or some such bullshit.

TehWorld ,

One of the first CDs I ever owned.

TehWorld ,

I’m thinking that would decrease the chance of problems.

TehWorld ,

I’d REALLY like to know what percentage of those were mail in or early voting. I’m sure that some will switch to Trump and the polls in the places that matter still have him winning by a good margin. Get out and vote!

TehWorld ,

Trolls don’t really need a plan…

TehWorld ,

It does matter. Minds have to be changed one at a time. A constant drip is better than nothing.

I got on a plane a few weeks ago and realized that I didn’t have headphones. I would have really liked something to read. AA does offer 20 free minutes of WiFi so I opened a bunch of tabs in my browser, but a skymall would ah e been read for sure.

Pro-Trump lawyer surrenders in Michigan after DC arrest and Dominion leaks ( www.cnn.com )

Pro-Trump lawyer Stefanie Lambert surrendered Thursday to Michigan authorities in connection with her 2020 election tampering indictment, after a wild week where she was labeled a fugitive and spent a night in jail after being arrested in Washington, DC....

Will you please stop barking at EVERYTHING ALL THE TIME INCLUDING YOUR OWN IMAGINARY WHATEVER THE FUCK THAT IT IS THAT YOU THINK YOU NEED TO BARK YOUR HEAD OFF AT please?

TehWorld ,

Easier and cheaper to get a second screen.

A professional video switcher will do this but it’s way more with “DVE” but you’re probably looking at more cost than another TV.

TehWorld ,

Maybe he should try “not committing crimes”.

Major Asset Seizure Likely as Trump Can't Afford Bond for NY Fraud Case ( www.commondreams.org )

Less than a month after New York Attorney General Letitia James said she would be willing to seize former Republican President Donald Trump's assets if he is unable to pay the $464 million required by last month's judgment in his civil fraud case, Trump's lawyers disclosed in court filings Monday that he had failed to secure a...

The smart ones absolutely are using AI. The Judges might not, but the lawyers and prosecution certainly are. They don't have to directly cite AI, but can simply use it to point out the salient bits and save themselves a LOT of time digging for info that they want.

TehWorld ,

But you can use it as a tool to assist. If it finds something actionable, you can confirm the old-fashioned way, by doing the actual reading.

TehWorld ,

I’ve used AI. I’ve had it make stuff up or put incorrect info into documents. I’m smart* and read through the document just like these lawyers will**. Saved me TONS of time vs just doing all the specific writing, scanning and summarizing.
*citation required
**smartness not withstanding

TehWorld ,

Heck, Ivermectin is good for you… if you have parasites. Does nothing for Covid tho.

TehWorld ,

4 months. That’s pretty much a long vacation for someone like this. A quick-lookup guesses that his net worth is around 10 million and he’s 75 years old. This isn’t even a slap on the wrist.

TehWorld ,

The BIG unintended consequence here is that this makes starting a new party just to leech off the government a big target. Who cares if you never get anyone elected, so long as you can have government paid salaries and airtime.

TehWorld ,

Yeah, 10 years is too short. 18 sounds pretty good. I'd also want to give them a full retirement. Ostensibly, they'd be less likely to sell influence.

TehWorld ,

I'm wondering who defines "luxury items". I'd currently put a trip to the dentist and a car with under 120k miles in the luxury category.

TehWorld ,

Most of the time a LEGAL marriage has nothing to do with a church/minister/religion at all. It's 100% a 'state' thing for filing of taxes, courtroom protections, power of attorney etc. Getting married in a church doesn't grant any of those things. Having a piece of paper from your 'state' is what makes it legal in the government's eyes. If the government won't sign off, you're not LEGALLY married, just socially.

TehWorld ,

Be careful about this attitude. I personally haven't been affected by the abortion ban, so to call it a 'devastating impact' is a bit of a bridge too far. I do understand that it's devastating for many, but especially those who really want zero abortion they see it as a wild sucess and are fearful that if those 'devil worshiping democrats' get back into office, that they'll undo all those years of their hard work. They are still using it as a wedge issue.

TehWorld ,

The point is that the average Joe isn’t a 10 year old pregnant girl. Of course it’s horrible, but a large majority of people aren’t seeing (paying attention) to that. They haven’t and won’t feel the consequences for many years. They see this as hyperbole.

TehWorld ,

I’m not asking for charity towards Republicans.
You’re not changing the extremes of either party.

Using terms such as “devastating impact” when the average Joe Republican hasn’t felt ANY impact isn’t going to win votes, but rather make them think that the Republican side who simply is letting it slide is more reasonable, whether it’s true or not.

My parents voted for Trump twice. They’re anti-abortion and they’re HAPPY about the abortion bans. Again… HAPPY. Sure they, along with the majority of Right-Leaning folks would agree that a 10 year old shouldn’t have to have a baby, but they contrast it against all the arguments of “not killing the unborn” and see it as an overall win. Calling out individual horror stories is a good tactic, but you’re not winning any votes away from Trump and the Republicans by “yelling” at them about a “devastating impact”.

It’s the same thing with a LOT of issues. I live in the middle of the country so sea rise doesn’t affect me, right? People have their heads stuck in the sand and if something doesn’t affect them personally, it turns them off of your cause to speak in extremes. Global Warming hasn’t killed anyone they personally know, so calling it extreme isn’t going to ring true for them. The fact that we have had the warmest year on record, the most storms, the biggest swings in temperature, those are all FACTS, (just lil a 10 year old having to have an abortion) that DOES affect them and WILL help them to understand.

Again, you’re not going t change the extremes, but we need to fight for the people that might just be willing to stay home
On Election Day or just skip the President box… I’m working on my parents constantly, but it HAS to be a slow burn or they’ll just shut down and ignore all the facts.
