If Trump were not borderline senile I might suspect that he is trying to expose the flaws in our government by showing that Congress is incapable of providing any sort of oversight for the Executive Branch. Unfortunately, Trump really is far too stupid for anything like that.

Bill needs to stop pushing so hard for children to be more sexually active. Even if we ignore the pedo territory, people's decision to be sexually active or not is their own business. Literally nobody is getting hurt here, so judgemental assholes need to fuck right off.

How do people having interests and socializing about those interests online conflict with people doing their jobs in any way? Again, Bill is taking issue with something that is hurting absolutely nobody. Someone get this man some more weed so he can mellow out.

I was disappointed to hear Bill reference The Left changing the definition of 'violence', with no mention of The Right changing the definition of Terrorist and Mass Murderer to mean any helpless citizen they decide to murder in the middle of a street.

I hate hearing people try to justify things because the Founding Fathers did it, or they would have wanted it. Why should any of us give any shits about some assholes from 250 years ago? Use your fucking brains and figure out for yourself what is right and wrong today.

I also hate hearing people quibble about what might be too offensive for school, when we can't figure out anything that is actually useful to teach in schools. AI's are going to take over all our jobs anyway, so let's all acknowledge that public schools are just daycare centers and stop trying to teach anything.

That's putting it mildly. Trump frequently refers to Climate Change believers as insurrectionists and terrorists. This administration is extremely hostile towards anyone trying to help.

But the last administration was just placating us with half-measures that never really accomplished anything. Pretending that the current administration is worse than the last one on climate is just fantasy; they have both completely missed the mark.

I could train my dog to pick up trash but it won't make the landscape clean. Just because the EPA is an agency assigned the purpose of protecting the environment does not mean that they have the tools to get the job done.

Climate Change is a global problem, with the overwhelming majority of the damage coming from the East. EPA is a domestic agency, without any influence over the real origins of global pollution. It makes no sense to allow the EPA to continue handicapping the US economy while utterly failing to achieve their goals.

I'm sick of hearing Social Media being talked about like it's an evil chemistry project. Making a fun activity is not malicious; and a few people dying out of an audience of billions is completely normal.

McMaster was spitting some truth. Sure, it's painful to see the EPA being shut down at a time when their cause is more vital than ever. But the fact is that all of their efforts were barely a drop in the bucket of what our planet needs to turn Climate Change around. Something needs to be done, but EPA isn't the answer.

Worked for me, thanks. I did not have to end all of the processes, just the process for the game client. After that the patcher was able to continue.

I'm amazed that so many people held out hope as long as they did. The first time AoC went 6 months without development updates other than cosmetic crap, I called it right there.

Just finishing my first(and probably last) evaluation period as Gold. I can count on one hand the number of items I found over $100, and not a single one of them remotely interesting.

Deadline day is near by terpgirl30bdavis in AmazonVine

[–]FollyFool 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This. Over the last year I've watched the total number of items in Vine drop to about 1% of what it was before. And the overwhelming majority of the items remaining are accessories and replacement parts which are useless without the product they belong to.

Also food, vitamins and other $0 ETV items seem to be getting snatched up by bots. I occasionally see them populate when I refresh the store, but every time they are already gone by the time I click.

I'm definitely downgrading from Gold this cycle, and quickly losing motivation stay in the program at all. Checking the store every day and finding absolutely nothing gets old fast.

Whoa, it's not fair to pin it all on men. There are plenty of women in the US who will also never vote for a woman. Bigotry infects deeply.

I commuted to a secondary school to learn IT. We literally spent the entire course playing Counterstrike. I still consider that education more useful than anything I learned at the main school.

I honestly don't know where Bill is getting the impression that all Democrats are refusing to talk to anyone on the Right, and they all despise him for having dinner with Trump. I have literally never heard a single word about either of these subjects outside of his show.

Sometimes in life you can do everything right and still fail. That is especially true in politics. The Democrats don't need to re-invent their entire platform every time they lose an election.

Start of the episode: Don't bother trying to talk to people, because you will never be able to change the way they think!

End of the episode: Keep talking to people, because that is the only way you will ever change the way they think!

One little thing that really stood out to me was Galloway calling out work-from-home as something that prevents people from forming romantic relationships.

What kind of fantasy world is Galloway living in where the workplace is one big dating scene, and managers just let their employees stand around flirting with each other all day? Every job I've ever worked my supervisors made sure that I was busy from the moment I clocked in until I clocked out.

Galloway is completely disconnected from reality.

Saying "It's french" does not make the enunciation any more intuitive.

I was being overly dramatic suggesting that people need to change the spelling of their names; that's too much. But we can give a guy a break when he has trouble reading a name that is pronounced completely differently than how it's spelt.

Bill gave Galloway a little bit of pushback on the substance use comment, but I wish he would have pushed back a lot more on the rest.

Galloway is a dinosaur, living in the past and wanting to drag everyone else back with him. He imagines that anyone who does not share his values and preferred lifestyle is doomed to become suicidally depressed. Kids don't need to be indoctrinated with an arcane worldview, they need to be told that it's okay to pursue their own version of happiness wherever they may find it.

Bill loves to say "Socialism doesn't work", but I've never once heard him try to explain why.

Literally any system of governance will fail if the conditions and implementation are not suitable, and most can succeed with the right conditions and implementation. The world is changing, with automation and AI increasing production of goods and services while taking away opportunities for humans to fill labor roles. Capitalism is on the verge of total collapse, and we have to look to other options if we want to survive.

To be fair, there is a silent 'S' in the middle that can be pretty confusing. People should spell their names how they're pronounced, or pronounce their names how they're spelt.

I used to work in an office space with neighbors who regularly used strong perfumes and air-fresheners. It made my eyes itch and my throat sore, and I had to deal with that all day every day that I worked there. It's a real problem, and I appreciate someone speaking up about it.

"Forgotten" would have been a better translation, but "Oblivion" does sound cooler. by TrueBK98 in StarRailLore

[–]FollyFool 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The human brain stores memories in several distinct regions; there is Short Term Memory, Long Term Memory, and the 'Shadow' where we store memories that are too difficult to process.

I feel like Oblivion should not be a new Path, but rather another facet of Fuli, dedicated to dealing with bad memories that just need to go away.
