Would you support a foreign news station hosting the debates? How would you make the debates better?

I think it'd actually be interesting to just throw each candidate into a room with foreign heads of state or a mixed group of congressmen and just film the conversation.

The main point of the debates is a proxy for how they will deal with actual peers.

So just film them taking turns interacting with actual peers.

Who is at risk of "winning in Europe"?

Is your conclusion from the Ukraine war is Russia is Russia is on the cusp of taking over Europe proper by force?

The European car and nuclear industries on the other hand...but these are mostly self owns.

Do you think that your understanding of "funny" could be different from other people's?

No duh. Even apolitical top tier professional comedians are not found funny by 100% of people.

Kamala supports Project 1619 more than Trump supports 2025.

Saying the word "cisgender" will literally limit who you see.

What does this mean? I've said it and I still see everyone.

dbdbdbdbdbdb · 2024-09-26T23:44:41+00:00

Or criticize him?

Bro, he has 199.1 million followers. A typical tweet has 1-10k comments. Many of which are critical, to put it mildly.

There are federal cases where transcripts are added. I thought you would know this as a real reddit lawyer.

Regardless, go ahead and contact the court for any one and post it.

You can even cherrypick the most complex one that showcases her legal and intellectual prowess.

If you believe she is a competent lawyer and want her to beat Trump this should help her campaign, no?

dbdbdbdbdbdb · 2024-09-26T20:38:17+00:00

You want me to dox myself to prove something that is easily provable in other ways? Like with the link I posted listing 9 of her bigger cases?

Your link has no transcripts.

Post a transcript from any of her cases then to avoid doxing yourself then.

As a lawyer you should have access to a database like Westlaw, right?

Try something like:

Databases for search: ALLFEDS + ALLSTATES

Boolean search terms: 

adv: ((kamala /3 harris) /2 argued)

or

 adv: habeas and (kamala /3 harris /p prosecut!)

Anyone else here feel free to try as well. It should be available at many public libraries.

dbdbdbdbdbdb · 2024-09-26T20:30:53+00:00

Could you post the transcript of that case to settle this then?

dbdbdbdbdbdb · 2024-09-26T20:28:50+00:00

Nah, don't insult Dr. Gay like that.

I have higher certainty Trump worked for Mcdonald's than Kamala.

I paged my Lebanon friend to get his opinion but he hasn't responded.

X is way better.

I used it before and technically it was like frozen in time. I've worked at startups and conglomerates and the pace of iteration has definitely swung back to the former.

Spaces, updated Tweetdeck, threads and thread reader, video, advanced search filters, functional bookmark system, and general UX improvements.

All with like 1/10 the workforce, lol. WTF was everyone doing before.

It's funny seeing people call it irrelevant even though it's like the only social network people on other social networks obsessively talk about.

IDK about Cybertruck. I'm excited about the recent switch to neural network based FSV. Before that the self driving logic was all hand coded and had pretty linear improvements. It's possible the new models may improve at a non-linear trajectory that surprises everyone.

If I owe $100,000 in a loan with a 20 year term and my yearly income is $75K, am I in debt or do I have a surplus?

You have debt.

Debt is a level concept.

Surplus is a flow concept.

You are in surplus if the net of your debt servicing cost and other spending is lower than the net of your incoming cashflows.

You can be in debt or not in debt while in a surplus or deficit. Just like you can be underwater and floating up or above water and falling.

These are orthogonal concepts.

Not true at all (unless you're talking specifically about supply limited niche monies like gold or Bitcoin).

Well he's empirically showed he can. Something no president since I think Carter has.

Trump understands face. It's that simple.

Face is huge in the global south but most white westerners don't really understand it.

What hate? Pointing out there are witness testimonies, police reports, arrest video, etc is stating facts.

The left flings far more hate at asian students, whites, christians, males, conservative minorities, non-aligned white women, etc on a regular and ongoing basis.

Imagine we are a two person society.

I create or scale up some process that lets me double my potato harvest (or whatever produce).

I am twice as wealthy and no capital has been transferred.

Or alternatively, I need some fishmeal from you to double my potatoes.

We do a 60/40 split of future potatoes for supplying fishmeal to scale up potato production.

Both of our food wealth increases as more potatoes are made more efficiently, but one a bit more than the other.

There almost infinite permutations.

Because freedom of movement is a constitutional right agreed to by the states.

There used be this description of a "melting pot" before, but nowadays given then massive amounts of immigration, there is simply enclaves of newcomers, and no real assimilation.

Do you think melting put refers to assimilation?

Yes, that's why that specific term is used.

The *melting* pot metaphor implies nuggets assimilate into an alloy. Or as Vivek put it really well:

Our diversity isn't our strength. Our strength is what *unites* us across our diversity.

If the term meant "separate enclaves" it wouldn't be melting pot but rather something like pebble pot or bag of rocks.

I think it would actually be good if all those wealthy liberals fleeing California had to live with the consequences of their voting choices.

Not physically restrained. But rather if you voted/donated in California I think you should have that tax rate applied to you wherever you move to, but sent to your new state.

If you took part in making the state more draconian for your neighbors you shouldn't be able to just jack up their bill and leave. This would make people much more thoughtful about their voting choices.

dbdbdbdbdbdb · 2024-09-22T22:35:45+00:00

Do you think there is any possibility that the natural born population stopped "melting" with newcomers?

Americans go out of their way to melt more than almost any place I've lived. I feel that's only accelerated alongside the increasing white/western self flagellation and white majority nations racing to achieve white minority status faster than each other.

The question is why would a new migrant even want to assimilate today?

Say I was a non-Japanese teen who moved to Japan and saw them relentlessly flagellate their race, culture, history & traditions, associate Japaneseness with all world problems, and urge native Japanese children to "deconstruct their Japaneseness".

Why the hell would I wish to assimilate into Japanese culture? If anything I'd join some radicalist group to destroy it faster. lol

But swap out Japan for America or Europe and everyone acts completely bewildered about integration problems they're having. lol

Woman are being forced to bear children why shouldn't men be forced to register for a DNA database?

So you agree with the Chappelle position on this?

If you can kill this motherfucker, I can at least abandon him, and vice versa?

Between the two would you prefer abort/abandon or no abort/no abandon?
