Padme: you are going to release the video footage, right?

Reminds me of an adage:

It takes two to lie: one to lie, and one to listen

That would mean admitting they did something wrong, which is impossible for these ghouls.

Wish they’d pray for forgiveness because then that would mean admitting mistakes.

3% of the population being scammers sounds about right.

I struggled with passive wording until I learned certain tells like my use of the word “would”. Once you learn what words to look out for you start to actively reword things as you write them. Asking AI to rework your passive tone isn’t going to rewire your brain to write better.

Now that’s some carbon sequestration

The Bible accuses Canaanites of child sacrifice and that led to their judgement and destruction. And these fools think God is going to bless us for letting our children get murdered (and don’t even get my started on our hand in the death of Palestinian children).

At this point the constitution is just an excuse.

This empire is going to take a few generations to fall. Doubt I’ll see a revolution in my life time, but maybe my kids will get to see that silver lining.

America was always the 2nd Reich

Musk has his own marketing apparatus in China as well, and the government has been looking the other way because this feud will benefit them in the long run.

3 times the budget for the Marines. Crazy

Says people should learn to speak English in America, cuts funding for English learning.

Eh, we need a cultural shift that neuters marketing or else people will always be subject to the whims of those with capital.

That’s just it though, it’s not going to replace you at doing your job. It is going to replace you by doing a worse job.

For whatever reason we are not understanding each other. I don’t think I can restate it any more clearly. I guess we just have to leave it at that.

Let me put it another way. You are wrong in regards to trans participation in sports but not because you are being a contrarian. You are also wrong to use your contrarian stance to justify your opinion. Hopefully that clears things up.

I’m not saying you’re wrong because you’re contrarian, most of the people here fall into the category. What I am saying is that using the fact that an opinion is contrarian is not evidence that it is correct.

Most of the additional ridership [that] was identified cannibalized other lines. You’re taking people who are paying on other lines, and they were just getting a free ride.

What a bizarre way to measure the success or failure of a program.
