Are you under the impression that the green party is a reliable place to put your vote? Do you believe that this is not a complete waste of your one singular vote?

Whitmer or whitehouse woukd be better, but the way the DNC plays things, they would obviously choose the weakest candidate for no reason other than to not seem biased against their opposition. It’s fucked. The whole thing is fucked.

Fyi, 22% of the US population voted for trump in the last election, far from a third

The first thing I thought of when seeing this picture was “my aunt has two box tortoises in her backyard, and they camouflage pretty well, what about her tortoises?”

What is your source on that? I heard some news about china making some breakthroughs on sodium ion batteries but I am waiting for independent confirmation on that because, well china has let us down more often than not with “bleeding edge” tech.

I was thinking molten salt would be a better energy sink for the here and now.

Who wants to bet they will still charge for any and all kwh regardless?

Anyone who has any wisdom whatsoever would at least reject the title “futurist” and i would expect fart smelling to be the least egregious offense of these self titled so and so’s.

I am downvoting for the ridiculous nature of the claim.

People, this is fucking awesome.

While it doesn’t take much to be 100x cheaper than Nvidia, the excess compute produced by these transformer geared ASIC’s could lead to an AI boom analogous to the difference between a modern smartphone vs. the “computers” used on the Apollo missions. That will be super cool.

I have some experience using ASIC’s for different purposes and it is just crazy how much efficiency they have over general purpose chips when it comes to both initial cost and power consumption.

If this works out, we could see the currently exponential AI growth get “exponentially exponential” or something.

Well, that sounds really fucking weird.

Theism is just a shit ideology.

It’s one thing to have your beliefs, but if your beliefs are so fragile that the believer can’t handle anyone else not believing their stuff, it’s kind of a sign they don’t really believe the stuff they are forcing.

Of course these biased, partisan, activist judges are waiting until after the election to rule on anything even remotely related to their agenda.

Voting is important. Vote in every election so we can at least have a chance at expanding the court to dilute the federalist societies (the bad guys) agenda.

The corruption of the judicial is one of the hardest problems we will have to fix as a nation, and we need to actually try to do something about it.

The mayor? Waste management? FBI?

Sounds like some real big stuff is going on that we don’t know about.

Turn on the light.

Any companies that make their money helping other people get government benefits, are usually sleazy and to be avoided.

So it looks like it wasn’t a bunch of widespread individual fraud, but a bunch of sleazy companies popped up selling the “service” of helping companies qualify for these benefits, and basically committed fraud on the small businesses behalf, telling them and the government that said business qualified for these benefits.

Whenever something shitty happens, there is always a sleaze bag there, makin’ money.

You are completely right, I just think that if it was BLM storming the capital way more than one person would have been shot.

Only 14 people were taken into custody on the day of the j6 insurrection, and only one person was shot.

They were already using rubber bullets, they very well could have escalated in kind with live ammunition, we are talking about government officials here, not retail store windows.

I understand that there is nuance to this situation, but I just had a visceral reaction to seeing this group get the kids gloves treatment after months of seeing the standard police response to protests that they didn’t agree with.

So who do we call to demand the removal of this partisan judge?

Maybe there is a legal way to get this done, or at least “grey area”

I am assuming if we can get the emails and numbers of the people responsible, we could set up a group to rotate calls and emails to absolutely flood their communication abilities until they capitulate.

Not just official channels, their home and cell phones too, and make sure their mailbox is always full of strongly worded letters (not hate mail or glitter bombs) demanding her removal from the bench.

Stupid people can’t imagine anyone being smarter than them, at least when they are stupid enough to work for the trump campaign, so of course they think this will work.

It’s “all cops are bastards” for a few reasons.

First, ACAB because the good ones get rooted out if they don’t both turn a blind eye to their bastard peers misdeeds, or in some cases actively help them covered up. Good cops don’t stay cops for long.

Second, only bastards are attracted to that job. The power, the impunity, the unearned respect. Anyone who wants to be a cop is either already a bastard, or the few that aren’t are stupid and misinterpreted the obvious situation, and they get rooted out very quickly. What kind of person looks at policing in America and decides that they want to be a part of that? A bastard, that kind

Third, “the thin blue line”. The true meaning of this is that there is a thin blue line that police are never supposed to cross, that being snitching on other officers.

The police (in the USA) are their own entity, a cohesive group. Time after time we see it on the news, the police abusing their power, killing people, forced confessions, torture, racism, misogyny, theft through civil asset forfeiture, rape. Sure, maybe there is a cop who hasn’t personally done these things, but they are a part of the group that does. They are 100% complicit, even though they would be putting themselves at risk to expose or protest these actions.

I think it has been long accepted that ACAB is in reference to the police of the USA. While police misconduct itself certainly isn’t limited to the yanks, it’s so overwhelming here that there really is no nuance to this situation.

In the USA, policing itself is corrupt. The idea that a member of this corrupt institution could be good is almost a paradox. Here in the US, there is no such thing as a “good cop”. “Good” and “cop” are mutually exclusive.

Apparently the names aren’t public information, for bullshit reasons.
