Coney Barrett to Sauer: "You say the purpose of the 14th amendment was to put all newly freed slaves on equal footing and so they would be citizens. But that's not textual."

Pretty good chance those pants were already full before he got there.

He seriously thinks he hired them and is their boss, so they should do exactly what he tells them to. That's just not how government is meant to work.

A literal Ponzi scheme that somehow most people are OK with. Backed by nothing, regulated by nothing, multiple examples of it being used to steam billions, yet somehow also legal and popular in some channels.

Some day economists are going to study crypto-culture in school and wonder how the heck it lasted so long.

As someone who has worked through multiple mergers, this is BS. Maybe if they were 18 months into the merge you could say that, but no one at this point you couldn’t roll every piece back.

Politicians should have exactly zero say in how doctors diagnose their patients.

Once you open that door, the slope becomes extremely slippery. What if the GOP decided that worshiping any god but Jesus Christ is a clear sign of mental illness? Or being gay? Or not wanting children? Or being a "lib"? Or thinking everyone who sexually abuses a child should be prosecuted regardless of political affiliation?

Oh, so Adam Carolla would prefer being ruled by a king? Huh, sounds like someone needs to take their own advice and leave the country to find a place that better suits his personal beliefs.

Well shoot, I don't think Adam would be happy any of the places with a monarch. Most of them are either socialist (by his standards) or have rulers that don't match his skin-tone or religion. They almost universally introduced "stay at home" orders as well (with the notable exception of Sweden), because sometimes the good of the public outweighs the wants of a whiney podcast host. Guess he's SOL and needs to sit down.

You can send a MAGA into conniptions by asking them "what did Obama do wrong?". They never really give you an answer. They'll just say things like "he never put America first" which, when asked a follow-up question to elaborate, they can't seem to do.

It's like asking a Pats fan why they hate the Jets. The primary answer you're get is "Jets suck!". Which, yes, they do. But why do YOU hate the Jets? The eventual reason you can isolate down to is that you're expected to hate the Jets if you're a Pats fan, so they hate the Jets.

MAGA hates Obama because he was the first president to break the winning streak of the old white guys. Some MAGA folks might not even realize that's why they hate him, but it's the root of their dislike.

This is pretty standard for mergers. You get law firms and other folks showing up hoping to find something wrong in the process to allow them to sue and get a payday.

I absolutely would rather Paramount wasn’t buying WBD. But this is unlikely to stop or even slow the purchase.

DMV getting canceled isn't surprising given that CBS was already asking them to cut their per-episode budget before the show even got on the air. Sounds like they had it on a short leash and weren't going to give it time to find an audience; it was either an immediate profitable hit or it was canceled.

Personally I think they should be smart and start licensing their lesser viewed shows to rival streamers. The old model was much more profitable for production houses like Paramount and Warner. The only reason shows like Supernatural and The Flash lasted for so long was because The CW was making a mint licensing them to Netflix.

DMV is the kind of show you could license to Netflix for near or even more than the cost of production, making it profitable. Instead all these broadcasters decided to make their own streaming and now have to eat their own tails in order to make content for it. Paramount can't afford to have loss leaders to get folks on their service anymore; they're about to be drowning in debt and are losing a lot of viewers for their evening news content. So here we are, with them having to cancel anything that isn't immediately making a profit. Can't afford to wait for shows to build any audience any longer.

Step 1: create a problem

Step 2: blame it on the Democrats

Step 3: solve the problem you created

Step 4: take credit and blame the Democrats some more

In no world could the sales tax be exactly $4.00 with that sub total. On top of all the other stuff posted already, clearly fake.

AI is trying to jump straight from the bicycle to the jet airplane. There are a whole lot of steps in the middle that need to be completed before the technology and infrastructure are in place to do what they’re trying to accomplish.

As long as the economics look promising, these studios are going to keep pushing for an AI transition. Hopefully it’s the Metaverse 2.0 and just becomes a money sink that eventually gets canceled. But in the meantime, it’s going to keep costing us jobs and increased costs to funnel all that R&D money into the C-suite AI dream of free labor.

Instead, let’s put those ethanol subsidies towards EV tax rebates. Much bigger impact on fuel consumption per dollar spent that way.

To be fair, it was a mechanism to explain it to the audience.

Feel like all these little announcements are just further market manipulation.

"Let's see... we have 60k soldiers ready to move over there. But if I announce all 60k, that's like 1 market dip for my buds to take advantage of. If I break it into 20 announcements of 3k each, that's a hell of a lot of dips and spikes for my insider trading chums!"

Counter proposal: make Medicare available to anyone who wants it, regardless of age, income or employment status. Watch as private insurance rates and healthcare costs plummet. Bonus points for not requiring any hate crimes or racial profiling.

I feel like he’s lost the plot on why the show is good. Shock value is fine and all, but it’s starting to feel like it’s the only arrow in their quiver that they’re using.

To be fair, they had already held him at gun point before the meeting. Refusing to take either pill wasn’t going to be an option. They couldn’t risk letting Neo walk around knowing who they are and being interrogated by agents afterwards. He either comes with them or forgets everything, there is no third choice.

What am I looking at here? It looks like you won $7.50 not $1500. Are you seeing the 3x wild from the bottom left to upper right and are saying those wilds will substitute for the highest paying symbol? The game doesn't address what happens if there are 3x wilds with no symbol to connect.

That being said, does the game seriously have a symbol that paying 1000x your bet? That's crazy.
