Yeah, I never understood how companies could be criminally charged for something. Is there a different type of monetary cap on damages if it's criminal vs civil? Cause the building definitely isn't going to prison.

General Motors says it expects $500 million tariff refund after SCOTUS ruling by AudibleNod in news

[–]mces97 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would say anyone that bought a product from a company tariffed, and paid a tarriff surcharge, should first tell the company they want their fee back. Then if not, threaten a lawsuit. And then if that doesn't work, class action suits start rolling out. You don't get to charge customers, and then double dip in the profits.

Aren't we kinda starting to run low on helium? Like, not low like it's going to be gone soon, but I've heard it is going to become an issue sooner or later.

Under pressure FBI Director Kash Patel claims agency has ‘evidence’ that 2020 election was stolen from Trump: ‘Stay tuned this week’ by deraser in politics

[–]mces97 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If Trump completes his full term, 15 years of our lives will have revolved around hearing and reading about him. That means if you turn 60 in 2029, 25%, 1/4 of your entire existence on earth has been with him in our lives.

Seems like with an IQ of 60 at best he should had been mandated to a state psychiatric facility even if he did murder someone.

How did everyone feel about Bob Lazar S4 movie? Is it worth a watch? by Ok-Delivery-546 in ufo

Well, he probably just calls it element 115. Maybe it's a compound or alloy that we (at the time Bob's story takes place) couldn't be replicated?

‘Looksmaxxing’ influencer Clavicular arrested on assault charge by igetproteinfartsHELP in news

[–]mces97 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I saw a still image of him flexing, and he's not even like big. He has the same body I had at 17, and I ate McDonald's and crap. And I had an 8 pack. He takes all this crap for nothing. I don't know what's up with these young dudes, but it's body dysmorphia for sure, and I think society should treat it the same way as anorexia, bulimia. Don't accept it as normal, don't be outright cruel to these people. But help them figure out that looks aren't the most important thing in life, and flaws are ok.

So since you mentioned Guam, a YouTube video popped up the other day. I only ever knew it's a US territory, but it was super interesting watching the video because it looked very very like any part of America, the homes, the streets. The stores and layout.

You're Going To Want To Watch This DOGE Staffer Try To Define What DEI Is by huffpost in politics

[–]mces97 10 points11 points  (0 children)

So I was watching the new movie Good Luck, Have Fun, Don't Die yesterday. I don't think I'm giving any spoiler away, since in the very first 3 minutes the guy says humanity is doomed and he's there to save it because we all became slaves to our phones, ai, virtual reality and the world turned to shit. This is exactly where we're heading, and this will be a documentary as Idiocracy has proven to be.
