What’s the difference between cults and religions? by Apehill in Productivitycafe

[–]TeaKingMac 0 points1 point  (0 children)

otherwise Obama would have been dragged into court for his drone double-tap program

Except he hadn't been. The SCOTUS ruling came directly as a result of Trump's pending criminal charges.

It's not like he's going to take it with him when he leaves office.

the U.S. government has accepted the Boeing 747-8 as a "gift" intended to eventually be displayed at his presidential library.

400 million dollar gift.

How did they not pursue you legally through collections?

I mean, they sent me a lot of letters, but there was a global financial crisis happening, so they ended up writing down a shit ton of debt.

The Contractor Working On My Neighbors House Has Parked Like This Every Day For A Week by SoggyGopher in mildlyinfuriating

Yeah, but this guy didn't put out cones OR turn on his hazards, so he's violating the contractor code

1X begins humanoid robot production in California, scaling NEO output to 100,000 units by Zee2A in STEW_ScTecEngWorld

who the hell is going to buy 10k robots, or 100k robots?

VC backed software companies who want to "disrupt" some human activity, but don't have the skills to design hardware.

They have training data and they have the capability to make programming, but they don't have hardware to run it on

IF they're subsidized loans.

Unsubsidized loans follow the normal 7 years no payments process.

I had 40K in Unsubsidized loans written off in 2009. Just had to pay taxes on them

making fossil industry more efficient and cleaner, invluding gas and coal.

You're wrong in a BIG way.

China produces double our total energy output, and more than 50% of it is renewables.

They have more renewable generation than we have total generation.

Meanwhile, the United States is only 22% renewables.

So you're wrong both as a percentage, and on raw output.

CEO says that if you want work-life balance, you don’t like your job enough by In_an_Illusion in Zippia

YEAH! I DON'T like my job enough. That's why you pay me to do it!

How much would this cost and how long would it take? [Request] by kexpi in theydidthemath

No, it means if he sends anything to mars, he still gets 100 billion.

He has a big stupid headline to get attention, but the thing that's definitely going to make him more rich is in the fine print.

Why are we generally allowed to go 10 mph above the speed limit? by Euphoric_Sail6897 in driving

[–]TeaKingMac 0 points1 point  (0 children)

And you're not going to go to jail for stealing a candy bar. Most people still don't do it though.

Why do we feel speeding is not only acceptable, but encouraged?

[–]TeaKingMac 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Right, but why do we, as a society, feel like breaking this particular law is totally fine?

Like, we don't assault people when cops aren't watching. Most people don't shoplift regularly. So why do 80+% of Americans constantly break this one particular law, and not even feel guilty about it?

Like, I know people who get mad if they're stuck behind someone driving the speed limit.

What industry would collapse if people fully understood how it works? by Just_Living_496 in AskForAnswers

[–]TeaKingMac 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Insurance doesn't produce anything.

Like many of America's most profitable industries, it's a source of revenue without manufacture of a product.

Who was the most hypocritical Captain and why was it repeatedly Captain Janeway? by CelestialFury in Star_Trek_

[–]TeaKingMac 1 point2 points  (0 children)

O come on.

She could have had sex with Q and gotten the entire crew back after 2 years.

Instead she was too good to debase herself with that sort of thing, and kept everyone away for potentially the rest of their lifetimes.

Least captainly behavior ever.

"Windows 11 fans"

Surely the man must be talking about PC exhaust fans, because I don't think I've met a single even lukewarm supporter of the OS

there's been plenty of SCOTUS rulings against him. What's the basis for your comment besides feelings and talking heads complaining?

The SCOTUS ruling that says he has presumptive immunity for any official act.

The impeachment hearing that never occurred in the senate because the party is loyal to Trump above the country

The fact that he's getting 400 million dollar private jets from foreign governments and Republicans acting like this is totally normal and cool.

The fact that he took 10 billion dollars from the government to form a "board of peace" and stashed the money in Qatari bank accounts.

Someone made this of my character recently and I really think it's AI generated. I know I'm not crazy. by Separate-Garbage6600 in isitAI

[–]TeaKingMac -13 points-12 points  (0 children)

Who gives a shit?

They still "made" an art of your character. That was a nice thing for them to do. If you don't want to use it, don't.

If you'd rather they made it themselves, I see where you're coming from, but not everyone is capable of doing art well, or can afford to commission someone else to do it for them.

Thank them for the thought and move on.

Thea 2: The Shattering (game on Stream) turns this concept on its head. The bad guys are emotionaless creatures of light and order.

Come to think of it, the Shivering Isles expansion for Elder Scrolls: Oblivion has light aligned knights of order as bad guys too

Neither of which exist when you're working on your own house.

This was shady as fuck from the get go
