I do feel like sampling your own farts is helpful… Like it’s a gut biome health check

I’m sure it smells like shit though

They’re becoming closer and closer to it though. Scary court decisions are being made, it won’t be long before someone tests it as a legal argument

They taste great to most Americans, the sugar is mostly in there to cover up low quality ingredients

Theoretically? Probably, I rarely touched windows outside of Windows centric shops. Practically, you’re going to have to make that a much more blurry line

There’s going to be times you have to deal with Windows. That can be as little as “effectively never” depending on your path and choices, but if you’re a hardliner it’s going to close doors on you just for picking a dumb hill to die on

I think it’s golden retrievers, they’re basically required to keep them from getting an anxiety disorder

Cheetahs aren’t dangerous, they’re big zoomy cats

Since they min-maxed for speed, they’re not very strong and don’t really fight for their food, they get bullied easily

Why I signed up to go through this hellscape

It’s not. Maybe they’ll fail, maybe it can’t math out, but it’s not vaporware

Limited trade… There were full on global trade networks through most of human history. Ironically, not as much across the Atlantic, because civilization in the Americas was centered on the West coast

But you find all sorts of stuff turning up everywhere. Not much of it, and most of it is lost to history, but enough to establish that global trade networks were the norm and not the exception

It seems promising, they’re acting like they’re close. They’ve been promising concrete deliverables, I think they’re supposed to have a working model that can actually capture the energy next year

You never know, but they’re called Triton if you want to check them out. They don’t share progress often, but when they do it seems pretty candid about their progress

So your saying it’s a very plump pinata?

It’s because we don’t feel better, we feel tired. It’s an exhausting process, and we don’t get to feel reward chemicals from abstract tasks like that

I refuse your defeatist nonsense. There’s 3 years left, progressives are making huge inroads into both local governments and the party machinery, and the old guard is being changed out

Even if I were wrong about it, that’s still the only way out. Obama-like means nothing changes, Biden was Obama-like - we didn’t recover from Trump I, Biden just stabilized the new normal and insisted it’s fine now.

We have to demand better, starting now. While we have the time

Because sometimes you feel like doing a little trolling, and it’s better to ethically source your trolling

Obama wasn’t a progressive, he just sounded progressive. He had a mandate, a majority in both houses, and what does he do?

Continue everything the last guy did, pass the healthcare plan from the creators of project 2025, and attempt to “reach across the isle” towards people openly racist towards him

If we had another Obama, we’d just be putting fascism on hold for another 8 years. We can’t keep splitting the difference with the far right

It doesn’t anymore… It crashed like 5x today, and that’s not including the times where it froze for 5+ minutes and recovered

Are you sure you’re not talking about a traffic circle?

Roundabouts have specific rules, not every circular intersection is a roundabout

Because companies don’t do R&D anymore, they fund startups and aquire them when they’re ripe

Being able to replace workers with AI is a holy Grail for capitalism, and so a ton of companies have poured their saved up “R&D funds” in order to get in early

I think they’re too big to bail out at this point

Also, no one wants US bonds right now, so we couldn’t borrow our way out of it even if we wanted to. We’d just have to print like a trillion or more dollars all at once

Have you heard of Slate? They sound a lot like what you’re looking for
