It’s possible, but that is the same thing people say about trump, that since he has money he isn’t beholdened to anyone. Anyone can be over-leveraged, especially the rich.
My 13 year old Subaru has 3 oil leaks and requires a quart of oil every month. And I just had to drop $1100 to fix the AC after it not working at all last summer.
My wife’s 12 year old Subaru sputters to a stop if you brake too hard with the AC running. It also burns oil (always has) and requires a quart every other month.
I can afford new cars, there just aren’t ANY that I want due to privacy concerns.
I have a 3 year old MacBook that runs my local LLM and Image Generator. I read this article from the perspective that the new PC chips would be for people who want to run their AI locally, but I suppose you’re right, Microsoft is going to push their Copilot as hard as possible.
Businesses really do hire the absolute cheapest they can so it doesn’t surprise me that 300 companies had ‘thousands’ of employees who were actually North Koreans disguised as Americans.
But how sure are we that this isn’t just the plot of the next Greg Daniels project?
I thought “lol” was short for “Just wanted to let you know that I’m a millennial so you can better understand where I’m coming from with this comment.”
I have always called a light top with a full zipper to be a jacket, however the people I’m surrounded by insist on calling it a sweatshirt. I’m prepared to be wrong, just wondering if I’m the only one.
Thank you for providing a link to his art. I would like to think that he would prefer to be remembered by the link you provided rather than all the words used in the original story.
Most notably, the high court will weigh if and when a former president can claim criminal immunity for acts committed while in office as Trump, who is currently on trial for allegedly concealing hush money payments to an adult film actress, fights three additional indictments over his attempts to overturn the 2020 election and...
The thing is, the Supreme Court has no means of enforcing it’s judgements. If enough of the people believe the Court is no longer legitimate then their judgements will cease to hold weight. If we ever reach that point then the country as we know it will likely be unable to recover.
This was the one I was drawn to as well… The irreverent goat hauling an idol of Baphomet stuck dead center in the middle of all these other crazy motherfuckers, feeling like he’s the most normal one of the bunch.
“But, if I’m the most normal… I’m scared to death of society.”
I borrowed $40k for my education. Over 20 years I repaid $75k. Had the repayment plan Biden tried to do in 2021 not been shot down by the Supreme Court, I would have had $20k knocked off my balance, which means I would have still repaid a lot more than I had borrowed.
Why should the government be making money by charging interest on student loans? Plumbers wouldn’t have paid for the repayment, instead it would have been my interest payments paying for it. And the plumber would still be getting an extra $15k out of me in excessive payments that I’ve had to make.
Right… when people realized that a Chromebook can meet most people’s needs because 98%+ of what they do can be done through a browser, then Linux becomes a more viable option.
BUT… while most people don’t use their computers for gaming, the ones who do would be more likely to want to try Linux with Proton. The recent surges will get even more people familiar with how good Linux is, and they will be able to evangelize to the less adventurous.
He’s a proven leader, appeals to many on all sides of the political spectrum, and the supreme court has ruled they can’t keep someone off the ballot, and neither can states, so if the Senate Democrats don’t stop it then there’s nothing that can be done about it.
If the leader of an insurrection can be on the ballot, a foreign born American citizen can.
Yeah, that’s kinda my point. He’s ineligible, but so is trump. The Supreme Court said that only Congress can keep someone from running, and the current Congress won’t do it for trump, and may not do it for someone running as a Democrat, if they could beat trump.
He’s not running because he didn’t think he could, but the general hasn’t started, so he has time.
In the 2nd grade. When we got to school each morning we went to our classrooms and dropped off our stuff, then we went to the gym to wait for school to start. I was in a split class (2nd & 3rd grade in the same room) and while in the gym a 3rd grader came up and asked me what I’d do if my box of crayons went missing. I had the Crayola 128 mega box, with attached sharpener… top of the line.
Of course, when I get to class, my crayons are missing, and Tommy has a box in his desk. I walk over and tell him to give me my crayons and he says they are his. A fight is brewing, so other kids gather round. I reach down and grab the box from his desk and put them behind my back, then simply ask “If these are your crayons, where did you get them?” and he replied “My mom bought them for me at Piggly Wiggly”… I pulled the box from my back and showed everyone the ‘Wal-Mart’ sticker on the back. Then I put my crayons back in my desk.
I was always a small kid, always being picked on… this was one of my few wins as a kid and it felt so good.
I think this has real potential to be an incredible masterpiece that will influence cinema for generations. Or it’s going to be campy as hell and fun. Either way, I can’t wait!
