  1. I think it’s her. If she’s really in poor health from GI issues and surgery/complications, then that will make you look extra skinny and shitty
  2. This isnt better than the original. It's just one of the strangest videos I've ever seen. Had no idea it existed until this morning. I’m so confused by the whole situation. Rhythmic clapping. Soldiers singing “now you do they told ya” in front of their ruthless dictator.
  3. Actually I don't think that's what those exclusions mean. They're related to the definition of “data broker”
  4. Maybe one of the legal team here could help me with the reading of this. https://docs.house.gov/billsthisweek/20240318/HR 7520 - Pallone.pdf Who exactly is excluded from the bill?
  5. So why not have a more targeted bill? TikTok is a unique threat. Shouldn't be hard to write a narrow bill that deals with the problem now and doesn't hand a bunch of power over to future executive branches.
  6. After giving it some more thought, I'm coming down against this. If this was really all about eliminating Chinese ownership of social media the bill could be simply and explicitly written. The fact that it isn't and the rush to pass it makes me skeptical of the motives.
  7. 3rd starship test last week. “But even with those caveats, Starship is already the most revolutionary rocket ever built. Because of a relentless focus on costs and cheap building materials, such as stainless steel, SpaceX can likely build and launch a fully expendable version of Starship for about $100 million. Most of that money is in the booster, with its 33 engines. So once Super Heavy becomes reusable, you can probably cut manufacturing costs down to about $30 million per launch. This means that, within a year or so, SpaceX will have a rocket that costs about $30 million and lifts 100 to 150 metric tons to low-Earth orbit. Bluntly, this is absurd.”
  8. Yeah I thought it totally sucked here. Wtf.
  9. Why not just implement age verification?
  10. This is a tough one for me. I'm generally skeptical of any legislation that gets such a blitzkrieg of coordinated support seemingly out of nowhere and from what I've seen the language is a little broad in how it describes what can be shut down. You also throw in that this does quite clearly benefit our own stateside mega data collectors and algorithm runners, so in a sense it seems a bit hyperbolic to freak out about it now. On the other hand, the CCP is evidently quite upset about it. They also do the same thing to us although they live in an authoritarian state. I lean towards supporting, but the way it is all happening makes me pretty uneasy. Red flags galore.
  11. Evidently this Barbecue guy is a cannibal? Maybe that's just being spread for fear but it’s out there. ELI5 Why the fuck is Haiti such a failed state shitshow compared to anywhere else in the Caribbean?
  12. Hahaha just stop. She lost to Adam Schiff. I’m trying to think of a R comparison. His likability is Ted Cruzesque but he has certain young Mitt Romney quality in the eyes but that’s underselling it. He’s a total psycho.
  13. Lulz She’s truly breathtaking.
  14. But seriously, who here thinks they didn’t give an 80 yo man something to pep him up for big speaking event at 9pm? dude should be in bed. have none of yall taken stimulants? Makes you a little jumpy. Might jump down somebody’s throat that you didn’t mean to
  15. It was actually Biden’s. Good speech overall.
