Nice

That was a fun read. Do recommend

Every accusation is an admission. Fuck this guy

I’m going to date myself here I think about this movie from time to time. As a kid I really wanted to go to space and this movie showed me it was “possible” and kept me dreaming. The only shame is that it was completely overshadowed by the space shuttle Challenger disaster that occurred around it’s release.

As an American, so are we

At best it’s because it’s because he doesn’t want Joe Biden and the Democrats to look good before the upcoming election. At worst it’s because he’s Putin’s bitch doing whatever his master says. Personally, I believe he’s a piece of shit traitor and so too are all the Republicans that follow and listen to him.

Scientists have been freaking out over this (and climate change in general) for a while now. The problem is that not enough people are listening. Worse is some are actively fighting against them and any solutions.

Luckily though the world will be fine in the end. Humanity on the other hand…not so much

Some of these are going to be very useful to me. I’m going to share this link with my team as well. Thanks!

You mean like the last bill that you idiots rejected? Jesus fuck I weep for my country.

Some may. Id be willing to bet most don’t though

Which is fair. Trump has indeed not been convicted of the crime. The court of public opinion would disagree but until a legal decision is handed down we should presume innocent until proven guilty.

As for the links I found the first to be about a House resolution for impeachment based around Biden’s handling of the withdrawal from Afghanistan and some comments he had as Vice president related to it. The second is an opinion piece conflating the withdrawal with giving aid to an enemy. As the withdrawal provided the Taliban an opportunity to return to power. Nevermind that Trump started it in the first place. It seems the GOP “plan” is to throw shit at the wall and see what sticks.

There are plenty of things to dislike Biden for but this certainly ain’t one of them

And what crimes exactly has Biden committed that would disqualify him under the 14th? What “enemies” has he been aiding?

It’s nice to see the work by the StarryExpanse people is finally going to see the light of day. It’s going to be a great nostalgia trip for me to play this one.

Also for those who don’t know, TheStarryExpanse was a project to rebuild Riven in 3D with a modern game engine. A few years ago they announced that they were going to collaborate with Cyan before turning over their work to them entirely and moving on.

Baldur’s gate 3 was the best game of 2023. Saved you a click

And yet people will still vote for him to “oWn ThE LiBs” Republicans propaganda is really good at getting people to vote against their own self interests

The key item here is that “combat losses” is what is being tracked. This means KIA as well as Wounded in Action. The actual Russian death count is definitely lower from my understanding but the result is the same. ~300k Russians troops are no longer able to participate in this war.

To add to this I think Russia not too long ago accidentally leaked something close to the actual number deaths. It was around 120k I believe.

A debate, to me implies two rational actors presenting their viewpoints and then defending them with facts. That guy has done nothing more than say it’s wrong then refuse to elaborate so again to me, it can’t be considered a debate any more than convincing a child to eat it’s dinner would be considered one.

But why? What’s your reasoning behind why people divorcing or wanting out of a relationship is a bad thing?

There was a part 2 to this. They told him he wasn’t actually fired and to finish the job. He obviously declined

According to latimes “In his veto message, Newsom said expanding benefits would make the state’s unemployment trust fund “vulnerable to insolvency.” California’s unemployment fund already is projected to be nearly $20 billion in debt”

From what I read that’s largely due to the pandemic and fraud. Business closures and layoffs meant a record number of applications. Since the state couldn’t pay for all of it it had to borrow from the federal government.

Can’t say I blame him for not wanting to add to that debt but at the same time would unemployment benefits for, let’s say a month, really have of added that much to that debt? I haven’t run the math and I definitely can’t tell how many would be eligible but it really does seem like it would be a drop in the bucket
