  1. I think the tariffs and threat of same created huge uncertainty in a lot of sectors such that business plans were scaled back and put on hold. Certainly true of many of my clients.
  2. Probably important to note that the only real substantive changes Biden made to immigration were to permit asylum claims while remaining in US and not treating first unlawful entry as a crime (also closely tied with family separation policies). The real difference is the perception that Biden policy was more lenient than Trump's, driving people to the border.
  3. Given that it isn't information about Israel or Palestine, I think it should be allowed.
  4. Looks like Trump might be grabbing ol Sus by the pussy.
  5. Well if by "done" you mean "fucked shit up," then yeah maybe, probably.
  6. She is a complete mercenary and this is another indication that there is life after MAGA/Trump. In other words, at this point she doesn't give a shit about alienating Trump because she can find other gigs.
  7. Fairly shocking. https://variety.com/2025/film/news/james-woods-rob-reiner-death-remarks-1236609668/ James Woods criticizes Trump over Reiner remarks. Actually talking like a semi-sane person.
  8. Who is this asshole?
  9. I did a quick google (really duckduckgo because fuck Google) when ana brought that up and read the Biden (mis)quotes. Unfortunately, my skepticism meter was on low sensitivity, so I didn't dig any further. I didn't pay a great deal of attention to Biden's campaign because voting for him was a foregone conclusion for me. This is the kind of thing I look out for, usually, on #bothsides, and why I tend to be skeptical of many "interpretations" of what someone says. I like to see it straight from their mouths, or text, or whatever.
  10. To be fair, I thought ana was talking about the board being skeptical of the vaccine, rather than some other "they."
  11. Yeah, that is a terrible awful thing to deal with. The answer is almost always the hard line. I'd say always, because it's probably correct. But absolutes make me nervous.

  13. I didn't say you condone it. But on the bullshit notion that Antifa and left-wing terrorism are our number one national terrorism problem, the American counterterrorism apparatus is being directed toward Trump's political enemies. https://www.lawfaremedia.org/article/the-bondi-memo-s-quiet-rewriting-of-domestic-terrorism-rules
  14. Because your team is obvious. Your use of idiot terms like "Mainstream." This isn't media. This is data analysis. More, from the Libertarian Cato Institute. https://www.alexnowrasteh.com/p/politically-motivated-violence-is Eighty-three percent of those murdered since 1975 were committed by the 9/11 terrorists (Figure 1). The Oklahoma City Bombing accounts for about another 5 percent. Those murdered since 2020 account for just 2 percent. Terrorists inspired by Islamist ideology are responsible for 87 percent of those murdered in attacks on US soil since 1975 (Table 1). Right-wingers are the second most common motivating ideology, accounting for 391 murders and 11 percent of the total. The definition here of right-wing terrorists includes those motivated by white supremacy, anti-abortion beliefs, involuntary celibacy (incels), and other right-wing ideologies. Left-wing terrorists murdered 65 people, or about 2 percent of the total. Left-wing terrorists include those motivated by black nationalism, anti-police sentiment, communism, socialism, animal rights, environmentalism, anti-white ideologies, and other left-wing ideologies. Those murders that are politically motivated by unknown or other ideologies are a vanishingly small percentage, which is unsurprising because terrorists typically want attention for their causes.
  15. Mainstream. As opposed to fucking liars? Here's another one from librul fags at Princeton. https://www.pnas.org/doi/10.1073/pnas.2122593119 Honestly, people from your team aren't smart enough to do this kind of rigorous analysis.
  16. I mean, I guess it could be a case of mis- or underutilization, but she hasn't exactly covered herself in glory here. If she can find a place to excel, more power to her, I guess.
  17. Yeah I knew pbs would trigger you. But facts is facts as inconvenient as they may be for you and Dear Leader. In case you hadn't noticed, ADL is Jews, and y'all are supposed to like Jews for now, especially the anti-Palestinian ones like ADL. Center For Strategic and International Studies? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Center_for_Strategic_and_International_Studies Inform yourself. Also note that the Trump Administration took down government data to the same effect. And really, all you had to do was pay fucking attention for the last 10-20 years and you'd know that right-wing nutbags are leading the pack.
  18. Um, Vickie, I think Ahmed the Australian was also a Muslim.
  19. Yeah, what I'm saying is, it's not truly creative and therefore not an extension for creators. But yeah, your point about expectation is excellent. AI by its very nature delivers expectation. In patent law, we adjudge the patentable to be that which is non-obvious, which basically means beyond rote expectation. Not very far beyond in many cases, but at least somewhat. And most patentable inventions are not terribly creative, or even at all. And, interestingly, some of the better inventions come from recognizing a problem, and, once the problem is recognized, the solution is pretty rote.
  20. That's not what he said. But since you asked. https://www.csis.org/analysis/escalating-terrorism-problem-united-states https://www.adl.org/resources/report/murder-and-extremism-united-states-2024 https://www.pbs.org/newshour/politics/right-wing-extremist-violence-is-more-frequent-and-deadly-than-left-wing-violence-data-shows
  21. They said last night that 45% of Texas points came from freshmen. Im guessing 30 or so of that from Spears, rest from AVW, maybe a tiny bit from Harvey. Then what another 30% from Stafford? A few from Devin, and a smaller few from Bunton and Ames? And random points from Ella throwing over?
  22. Point taken, but we didn't set middles much all year.
  23. I didn't say you did and it doesn't happen all that often with Trump anymore. But there are various allegedly outrageous things posted on social media that just really aren't or are for different reasons.
  24. If I do, it's because I don't trust my subjective interpretation of what he said. I'm biased against him, even if I/we may be right. If what he actually said was horrible, I like to point that out. Even at this stage of things, there's a fair amount of misquoting and taking things out of context, especially on social media.
