  1. Move fast and break things. Disruptor mindset is what we need. Just hop on to the next spacex rocket and hope it doesn’t prematurely disassemble .
  2. Are you fucking telling me that republican research on their candidates is as good as their research on vaccines/covid/horse dewormer? Shocked, i tell you.
  3. This isn't really helpful. If you are white male and middle class/lower class, cops still shit on you, threaten you, and harass you. If you are not educated or lack access to money, you can still get fucked over by lawyers and insurance companies simply because you cannot afford a lawsuit or the value isn't there. You can get shitty medical care. Having everyone tell you how great you have it, because you get shit on less in some capacity. Not everyone is born with a credit card, trust fund, or high credit rating, because they tick the 'majority' boxes (straight, white, male). Being white, didn't stop the cops from beating Kelly Thomas to death.
  4. Russian State media was in the Oval Office for the Zelensky-Trump showdown
  5. There is a reason the FTSE 100 is kicking the shit out of the SP500 this year.
  6. I am sure they will make the Saudi leadership step out of their dresses right? No, of course not. This wasn't set off by wardrobe selection, this was theater, entirely planned to be an asshole to him, to make him seem disrespectful in attempt to justify their cozying up to Putin and trying to create peace agreements like an 1800s European colonizer. If he wore a suit, they would have just latched on to whatever thinly veiled distraction they could manage. You didn't thank us. Well you didn't thank us enough. You campaigned for the guy who beat our guy's ass and helped your country, how fucking dare you!
  7. Rubio lives for this type of humiliation.
  8. Don't you fucking dare justify this shit. You don't vote for a rapist, conman, felon, because we need change. you do it cause you are a piece of shit.
  9. facts, decency.
  10. Cowards hate seeing a real man. Even on their own turf, outnumbering him, those fucks tried to intimidate a man who has been selflessly fighting for the survival of his family and his people and they could do nothing to cower him.
  11. We just bought first class tickets to them to heaven! Why are they so ungrateful?
  12. This is to buy rural voters who were resistant due to the loss of funding that will happen due to the voucher programs. This brings a little more money back to their community/teachers that they can claim as a win, then they can blame the teachers for the lack of performance as the students there get hosed. Maybe they got a few of the larger rural communities to agree if Ms. Abbott's or FrackBros Charter School agrees to open a branch in their region. Yeah, none of this is based on evidence beyond what unscrupulous activities that Abbott and company have done before. I really fucking hope I am wrong. I really really want to be wrong.
  13. Um, he claimed having sex with women for fun is gay, and that being alpha is having sex with transgender women who still have the original plumbing. I think Stone's wife is going to have to rent some other boys.
  14. Cite your source or bullshit.
  15. For what it is worth, this is something I struggle with as well. In the interest of the kids, I will still make an effort to see them. But they don't seem to care to acknowledge that they continue to put my kids at risk and cause us unnecessary stress with their voting and while my kids appreciate the thoughtful gifts they recently sent, I am still remaining aloof. I wish I wasn't so petty, but I suppose my exhaustion has made it easier. They live in a different state but when I brought something up about how I was disappointed with how they voted and how it would create a greater burden on my family but they just defaulted to 'states rights' response, to which I responded it is funny how social security and medicare are not 'states rights' issues. Imagine if Floridians had to pay for Floridians.
  16. Why? They already treat religion and facts like a salad bar, take what they want and leave the rest. Heck, @Ag with kids still cannot be bothered to respond to a comment he made despite numerous attempts and sources cited. Same tactic Johnny Sack uses.
  17. activist judges! /Tahoe Horn
  18. You posted it, but you decided to ignore evidence contrary to your claim. As long as you never look at the scoreboard you win every game!
  19. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Killing_of_Kelly_Thomas In that video, the guy exclaims, "they are killing me daddy" How those cops are still breathing is beyond me.
  20. This is what I did: (redacted) (redacted) (redacted) Met with (redacted) (redacted) Love (redacted)
  21. What's Big Balls' take on your daughter's research project?
  22. I want to come back to this. Source. So Musk, with his super genius 19-25 yr olds couldn't figure out there was a software issue at hand, because they don't actually know that language, but decided to interpret it anyways. They could have been handed a memo in sanskrit and they would have just made up whatever the fuck they wanted, because they are too arrogant and too ignorant to fucking know their limitations. I am so disappointed in "big balls."
  23. I think it means he is part of the cult. I challenged him to be a conservative when he pretends it, listed out a few of their own core principles and how none of them are being upheld by the Republican party, and of course this is ignored, because at the root of it, he knows he cannot challenge my assertion which is a insulting to him and feels like violence, that he is unprincipled and has no political values, only a membership and identity tied to a social club. Like the aggys, they frequently get caught cheating and justify their mediocrity simply because if they lose, they must have been cheated. Admitting the Randolph Duke laid out evidence of their school's mythology instead of actually just being proud of who they are requires a little self introspection which they refuse to undertake, because they are far to insecure to admit, "I was wrong." California had 26 counties vote for Harris and 33 vote for Trump. That is 9.3 million people in those 26 counties and 6.1 million in the 33 counties, winning 10 counties more that previously went to Biden. Which means 36 counties voted for Blue and 13 voted Red in the previous election. Of the congressional districts, Harris won 41 of 52 congressional districts. So let us look at how this breaks down. In the previous (2020) voting 73% voted blue by county, and 79% voted blue by district. In the previous election Biden carried the state by 65% of the total votes. Well maybe this is totally rigged right? Who draws these districts? It is handled by an independent commission consisting of 5 Rs, 5 Ds, and 4 Independents, and they whittle it down and then draw names at random. You can read about it here. Read about how Texas does it here. Here is an excerpt. So @Ag with kids we have one system which uses an independent system to draw congressional districts to make sure they have and equal population, which has members of both political parties present an in equal numbers, drawn at random, which more or less is close to the outcome of the counties, and this you cite as being unfair. However, in Texas we have the republican legislature draw it up, or the members of the republican party executives and house, decide on how the districts will be drawn. Let's look a little bit more into it. We have 254 counties, of which 91% voted republican in 2020. We have 36 districts of which 61% voted republican. Yet based on popular vote, we have only 52% vote Republican. This article outlines something important. While they have to have an equal population in each district, they do not in-fact have to have equal number of voters. So felons, kids, immigrants, can be counted towards a districts population, even if they include people who are not permitted to vote. So this is kind of like the 3/5ths compromise all over. We count people when we need to boost the numbers, but they have cannot have a voice or role in their own governance. Furthermore, Federal law allows for up to 10% discrepancy off the total number of members per district. So which system is inherently unfair? The bipartisan commission based district drawing or single party redrawing?
