This woman grew up wealthy and privileged--she comes from a family in Wyoming that was always connected and always had money. She's an attorney married to another attorney.

She is nothing like the people whose concerns she's laughing at and calling embarrassing. She doesn't have the same life experience as them, and she's never, for a single second of a single day, had to worry about paying her bills or lacking necessary things.

So she laughs when her constituents worry about these things, and she mocks them when they voice those concerns.

Because the people who bought these cars paid $100k (at least) for them and they drive them around as symbols of technological power and efficiency.

Meanwhile, the rest of us are traveling around in a $19k Toyota Camry that works just fine.

I think that's the issue--the current 'Republicans' in the Executive Office don't give a single shit if any of the smaller Republicans can ever return to their home districts. They are plundering all the bank vaults of government and keeping as much as they can for themselves. It's a party made up of powerful narcissists--the only thing keeping any of them in check is the greater power of other narcissists. They will eat each other once they've eaten all of us.

The issue with any of this is that we're assuming that we'll have another election in four years, and I'm not so sure about that.

How much actual power do you have in this regard?

Did you get to choose your job? Can you also choose not to have a job?

You're lucky.

100%

We never truly have a choice where to work unless we also have the choice not to work.

Yeah ... it's great that this research was conducted and this result achieved before the current Executive Office came to power. They're doing everything they can to starve the systems (and the people) that produce results like this.

This is fucking awesome.

This episode is beautiful: https://memory-alpha.fandom.com/wiki/Darmok_(episode)

It is about communication.

oh no I'm a crab

I can't tolerate ads any longer. Ublock Origin + Privacy Badger plugins in my browser assure me that I'll almost never see ads on any of my systems. I just plug a laptop into my TV and stream from pirate sites.

I just can't tolerate any more loud, invasive, manipulative garbage being forced into my eyeballs by every single screen. You can't even buy your way out of ads on streaming services now. Everything is an advertisement.

What a weird article.

We can only hope that people will get themselves a chance to directly demonstrate their approval of Musk. Hopefully many of us will have a chance to see him in a place we can reach him and show our disapproval.

If not, hopefully at least one person can find Musk in one of his hidey holes, behind his security, without his tiny human meat shield (or with, who cares) and clearly, without complication, demonstrate their disapproval of Leon.

It makes me wonder how much of the survival of these coins, in this great of condition, can be attributed more to circumstance/context in which the coins where kept, and how much of it can be attributed to craftsmanship.

These sorts of material artifacts surviving for this long really fires the imagination. Who pressed them? How where they made? How were they spent? Where were they spent?

It's just fascinating to try and imagine the world in which these coins might have been just a commonplace occurrence. Where people had them in their homes, in their hands.

Digital piracy can get you at least one of those happy things.

Most of the identification of things like 'horses' falls in line with the identification of things like 'crosswalks' and 'motorcycles'--in other words, the majority of the words associated with particular images in Google maps comes from people like us filling out Captcha, not from AI.
