The guy using the same rhetoric as Hitler in his campaigns wishes he was, though…

Many people can. I’m not saying the current system is perfect and doesn’t need work.

I’m saying no system at all, is much much worse than it is even now.

Making it worse doesn’t help those people who can’t support themselves doing it now.

The amendment doesn’t have to because VP already has the same requirements as president in the main body of the Constitution.

Amendments are only the change being made, not reiterating what already existed. VP used to just be the second place in the presidential election.

No, it definitely does prevent him. You can do not serve UP TO half of someone else’s term BEFORE you serve your own two. It’s a total of 10 years, and you cannot be VP if you’re ineligible for President.

“legitimizing” their attempt to tear up the constitution by also doing it isn’t how you save it…

He was always a piece of shit. I never understood why people tried to pretend he wasn’t

It’s not even new stuff. Last I had looked (a couple years ago) it would show me friendss posts from last week with no sign of anything new, and I knew they had posted newer things than that. It was completely unusable. I’d see the same stale old posts for days

The existence of officials looking for infractions in the few rules that they do have does not mean that overall they don’t have a looser set of rules compared to head to head competitive games. Like I said before, there often isn’t even a turn order for these events. You make your number of attempts over a long period of time and then are done.

I wouldn’t call those events “play” either. No one is really having fun riding a heavy stone multiple times. They might feel accomplished afterwards. But they aren’t engaging in play. And I still say it’s not a sport. You busting out a tautological oxford definition doesn’t really help anything.

That’s not what this admin is doing though. They’re taking a few random reports of something, pointing at people NOT doing that, and using that to attach their actual valid free speech against the horrible acts our government is fully supporting in another country.

This is a classic “for the children”-esque civil rights assault.

I’m not sure why YOU don’t understand this.

They’re not actually trying to solve the problem they’re talking about. You’re like “yes please, take my rights, hopefully it will help this niche situation” it won’t. It was never meant to.

Nah. Those aren’t games. The rules are often quite loose. You’re often not even directly competing with anyone else. Like, one person acts, and later another person acts and the results are compared. Your opponent’s actions don’t affect your results. Those field events don’t even necessarily have a set order to act on… people just wander in and out making their attempts, it’s mostly them competing with themselves.

You could run a race asynchronously as well, but time constraints prevent that.

Games have action, AND reaction. They have strategy. Throw things harder isn’t a strategy. Run faster longer isn’t a strategy.

I’ve never seen any of these articles explain what this means. How is generative AI “using up” water. When a search uses a liter or whatever of water, what is happening to this water?

Every time that happens, a little more water is burned and a little more carbon is released.

This is just nonsense that makes me think the author doesn’t know either.

Water is often used in cooling servers. But it’s contained and reused. It doesn’t go anywhere, it’s the vehicle to move heat from the servers to wherever else. In a pipe. In a closed loop. All these doomsday AI articles act like water is being lost permanently due to the use of these servers. Even if the water was escaping the closed system…did no one pay attention to the water cycle unit in grade school?!

I’m not going to walk you through how the English language works. You’re a big boy

You just did a not too subtle thing where you transitioned immediately from pro-palestine not being genocided to pro Hamas.

You can’t just casually conflate those. Stop it

This is all very vague, and given that I’ve seen video of people carrying Israeli flags and harassing the anti genocide protests, those same people then turning around and claiming antisemitism against themselves can account for some of those reports.

I’m sure it’s happened. But this doesn’t even draw a link to those protests. We know the right wing is very anti Jewish given how often they march with those swastikas mentioned in the article.

Palestinians are also semites. Stop pushing this idiotic propoganda narrative.

Criticism of the horrific actions of the government of Israel is not criticism of an entire people.

NYP is a right wing propoganda outlet. They lied about all kinds of shit to get Donny Dipshit elected. Find a better source. That’s a Murdoch (owner of fox) rag

They’re attacking free speech - people protesting against an actual literal genocide, and pretending it’s to stop antisemitism (ignoring that the Palestinians are ALSO semites)

They are able to intercept any tax refunds and garnish your wages. Just so you’re not surprised. Once they put you in collections, it’s not really optional

Having “ownership” tied to the Blockchain does fuck all to enforce other people not using it. That’s just a publicly viewable ledger of ownership instead of whatever hidden nonsense we have now. If IP went away (stupid idea) being a contract on a Blockchain doesn’t do anything

No, this is a fucking terrible idea and anyone who thinks otherwise has not thought anything through. If you can’t make enough money creating art to sustain yourself, people are going to very quickly make a lot less art.

Anyone here who just wants free content is going to pretty quickly realize that there’s very little new content being made.
