There's this all powerful force that binds the universe together and controls our destinies. It's like gravity, but different and possibly sentient. We call it "the force".
Why do people still shop at Walmart? Is it to help the evil family of billionaires? To destroy local economies? Love of a company that calls the police on customers all the time often for no real reason?
Setting aside for a moment that the proposal is not retroactive. That line of defense sounds more like a self own for whoever would make that excuse. "We have the laziest and scummiest business practices imaginable- there's no way we can keep all the puss out or stop putting chaulk in our milk."
As you allude to in your first line, it's a mostly invisible disability. It's also one that is difficult to fix past a certain point, and that point of correction has been actively sabotaged for at least the past 23 years (in the USA).
You all remember when RFK Jr. was running for POTUS and it was the most thinly veiled attempt to divide Biden/Harris voters imaginable? Good times.
Anywho, this movement of right wing nutbags who are now against Trump and want to stop him so they can get back to doing EXACTLY what got Trump elected sure is neat, isn't it? It sure is cool to see them as top commenters over on the very legit BlueSky.
Though, if you're looking for someone to blame, look no further than liberals and leftists.
Liberals, because in the 90s their big plan was to become indistinguishable from republicans. Well, in a two party system the two choices have to be different in some way shape of form, and the Clintonistas really only gave the GOP one direction to move. They KNEW this would happen and assumed it meant the GOP would become unelectable (see: Clinton 2016 campaign) instead of systematically destroying the USA. WHOOPS!
The left because we pre-compromising and always presenting the reasonable option first which leaves no room for negotiation other than to veer away from reasonable. If one side of the table is saying "tax the rich fairly" and the others is saying "hunt the poor for sport", the outcome is going to be somewhere in the middle.
It's really super neat the way the radical right vilifies smart people while desperately pretending to be them. Very cool and stable worldview that will bring nothing but good things.
And now you've made yourself the victim. If you were interested in honest discourse you wouldn't have changed the entire meaning then left an edit line claiming something different.
Absolutely. Data centers on earth are subject to the laws of physics. Data centers in space, per SpaceX's white paper on the subject, operate beyond paltry thermodynamics, material sciences, and several other fields of science. When you're that much of an IPO boosting gigachadalphabro it's all profit.
Highlander 2 is one of the worst movies ever made. It's up there with Battlefield Earth. Highlander 3 was alright.
Incidentally, did you know the guy who wrote Battlefield Earth teaches screenwriting classes. That might explain the last twenty years or so of film and tv.
I like the height and thickness of the couch back pillows on the right. End of list of positive changes. Replacing the carpet was probably a good move too, but they did it wrong.
What? I remember years ago when making maps of Reddit community connections was all the rage. On the maps weighted by posts and subscribers, it looked like Reddit had a sizeable NSFW section. On the ones weighted on traffic it looked like Reddit was a porn site with some other special interest forums.

Sort of a tangent, but yeah. That checks out.

Same mistake twice, really.
Show Respect!
Counterpoint: Anyone respecting that horrid legacy is part of the ongoing problem and should be dealt with accordingly.

I like the way you completely rewrote (not merely made less aggressive) the comment I replied to so that this seems like a reasonable response.
There are many variations of CPI. Perhaps spend less time typing angry comments, and more time learning the basics on issues before commenting.
How is inflation calculated?

So, slightly more reliable than polygraphs, repressed memories, and various other law enforcement innovations.
we shall watch your career with great interest

Yeah, why would you judge people by what they say on a forum where all you know about them is what they say? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zvgZtdmyKlI

It's amazing how many people have a free spinning moral compass
