But didn’t realize that there was time dilation involved.

They knew there would be time dilation. They literally discussed it just before they went down there. They just thought they could get it done in a few earth-years rather than decades.

Way to take a stand worth taking.

There’s a good chance that if this gets enough push back they’ll just implement it quietly and call it something else. Nobody will even know.

That passage explains the what , but nothing can explain the why.

He holds the distinction of fighting in the most comically lopsided boss fights ever filmed. Arnold circa 1984 vs my neighbor Larry who always lets me borrow his ladder and smokes a mean brisket while drinking 12 beers.

The difference is this wasn’t random, it likely wasn’t directly personal, he attacked by surprise, and the victim held social/political power and was otherwise noteworthy.

Why should any of those determine the level of police response? Not why does it, we all know that. Why SHOULD it?

This meme would be better if they managed to get Larry Bird to be the guy in it.

Democracy only works if all (or at least the vast majority of) parties agree that the democratic system itself is more important than any one democratic outcome. Unfortunately, that is no longer the case . The right will go into full on election denial mode when they lose, and apparently most American voters are fine with that. Peaceful transfer of power, what that means and why it’s important, well, that doesn’t affect the price of milk and eggs so voters are apathetic to it. Democracy grants voters the power to kill democracy. Time will tell whether that’s what they did (knowingly or not) in 2024.

I would hope that Ea-Nasir’s grave would be where machine shops drop copper shavings, just to show that guy what high quality copper is supposed to be.

Is commander in chief an active military position?

I think it’s specifically not a military position. The president being a civilian is how in theory the military must operate under civilian control.

Here’s my plan to stop the war in Ukraine. Start up a massive industrial effort to mass produce printed copies of that photo. Absolutely absurd numbers of them. Cut down forests if necessary. Load them into B52s and drop them on the front lines from high altitude to get a good scatter. Keep doing this every day for 6 months. Like 50 tones of that photo dropped every day.

I will now take exactly zero questions.

I didn’t watch the whole thing but Paul’s shots didn’t even seem like they had any power behind them. He won on points obviously because Tyson was drained but it felt like even old man Tyson could have just stood there and tanked those weak-ass punches.

Disclaimer: all I know about boxing I learned from Rocky movies.

What Biden does it doesn’t do is immaterial at this point. American voters have no interest in responsible democracy. Democracies grant extreme power to the people - including the power of suicide. Whether through confusion, deception, or apathy, that is exactly what American voters have chosen.

That’s the only time I’ve ever seen Sean get utterly outplayed. An immortal moment for Jimmy.

“the greatest argument against democracy is a conversation with the average voter”

Trump is also easily bought.

To what end? He’ll do what billionaires and the project 2025 ghouls want him to anyways. He doesn’t need to be turfed. They want to keep him there soaking up all the media attention and hate while they do their evil shit in the dark.

I think this is just a roundabout way of blaming the Jews.

And then everyone will live happily ever after and nothing bad will ever happen.
