  1. We import fertilizer? I figured the domestic production of bullshit would have been more than sufficient.
  2. My former Congressman (Don Bacon, NE-2) once explained at a town hall that people should negotiate their health plan with their employer. It was met with laughter and boos. He seemed surprised when people explained to him that's not how it works. The dude went from the Air Force to Congress and had never worked for a private-sector employer. He is reasonably intelligent, but has zero fucking concept what reality is for 95% of Americans. He just votes how he is told to vote.
  3. I'm starting to think it's a risky strategy to select federal prosecutors based on cup size.
  4. Back to the Loreal thing, I can actually see a decent tie-in for AI and make-up. "ChatLipstick, recommend a make-up scheme that makes me look kind of like Emma Stone in Poor Things"..."Use this base, with that eyeliner, and that lipstick, and take your top off...here is a picture of what you will look like." It's basically what women have been doing for women for decades. But, two things: 1) Will customers still want to have that interaction, and that tactile experience having someone else apply it; 2) is it worth the money? How much is someone willing to pay for it? $5 maybe? $20? That won't justify the investment.
  5. Putting lipstick on a pig?
  6. it was the "off duty" part that got him in trouble. The union was pissed he was doing it for free.
  7. He claims he was running through X and the algorithm had the "racy pics." I don't have X so I don't know if that looks like the interface. But I did like this line: “I must’ve looked at more than 1,000 posts,” he said, adding “If i see a picture of a woman, might I look at it longer than a sunset? Yeah.”
  8. Honestly, it looks more like I would expect a dating/prostitution site would look like: pictures of scantily-dressed young women with information along the side. Maybe picking out his date for wherever he is flying to. But it's also possible he is researching AI fakes or on-line prostitution rings. Who the fuck knows. Generally Congressmen are better at covering their tracks.
  9. Fully clothed porn?
  10. Income is also a factor there. Income has probably increased enough to offset inflation...for people making more than 500k per year.
  11. Yep. Keep in mind, Greene has been in the 8th grade level of dialogue with her fellow Republicans before. A couple of years ago she called Boebert "a little bitch" for copying of her homework.
  12. That makes a lot of sense, particularly the part about the banks. Going after Clinton is just reflex, but going after the banking institutions seems like a tell.
  13. Off topic: I think one of those "what do you believe" questions is whether you believe in an immutable and immortal soul. As an agnostic bordering on atheist, personally I think it is unlikely, but if there is, it would have to be something separate than your personality. We have observable, undeniable evidence that your personality can change drastically with a simple change in your brain chemistry or how your neurons fire. We are all a little brain damage away from becoming Republican. So it just seems impossible that you have a personality that is independent of your living flesh. I like the Buddhist version of reincarnation more than the Hindu version. The Hindu version imagines your person carries over, but the Buddhist version is imagined more like the flame of one candle lighting another. Although I don't really believe in either.
