It’s because it’s profitable, that’s why they do it. As long as they don’t Elon Musk, most people either don’t know who these people are or don’t care. And if they do go full EM, then most people still don’t care and it’s still profitable.
Democrats shitting the bed and then not only capitulating to the Republican shutdown but further negotiating away the ACA subs, hemp, and paying over $500k-Millions to multiple GOP reps, doesn’t help the momentum gained prior to a few nights ago. I hope that further emboldens voters to get out, vote against the GOP, but also vote those turncoats out on the “left”. God I’m so fucking pissed at them…
Also booze, probably the largest competitor of THC.
It thought I read that it was on a per subpoena basis, so in reality it’s 1,000,000+ per senator.
I try to not think to deep into this shit because that implies there’s something other that nefarious intentions, but I don’t understand how this can possibly be legal or even feasible. Like, there’s a lot of heinous shit that Republicans have done on a consistent basis, but to somehow write payouts like this into a bill and then, that’s just it, is mind boggling. I hope they all choke on their tongues and die in fear.
It was a provision included in the bill by none other than that ghoul McConnell. I don’t have a good link to share, but a search for “block on hemp products” yields some relevant articles.
Effectively it will ban THC derivatives, CBD, and other hemp based products. I’m seeing numbers like 95% of the hemp industry would fucked.
That’s a very prevalent and public opinion on here. I’m not going to blanket say that all Israelis are bad. I live in the US, so while we’re not actively committing a genocide, I live in a place with a pretty bad rap, so I empathize with the Israelis not complicit in genocide.
That said, fuck Israel.
We didn’t just get nothing, we lost ACA subsidies and hemp products. It was 40+ days that gave republicans a platform to blame Dems, and then they got a royal flush when 12 Democrats across Congress ate a shit sandwich for fun.
My expectations were low, but somehow establishment Democrats proved that they aren’t just worthless, but a liability.
That’s quite a bit different of an example. What you just said is actions have consequences. If you steal something, your punishment is a monetary penalty. That would be equivalent to, “you raped someone, you pay a fine and go to jail”. If your example had little Timmy stealing candy from the perp, that would be more in line with the initial compare.
The examples don’t hold up the best compared to something like rape because there is an exchange of items vs a physical action. A better comparison would be little Timmy got bit by little Sally so now Timmy gets to bite her back. Rational people don’t teach their kids to bite back instead teaching them to get an adult to handle Sally.
All this to say there’s also self defense which is notably different from retaliation.
You definitely shouldn’t be teaching children “eye for an eye” or that turnabout is fair play. It’s good to teach that actions have consequences, but it’s not okay to tell them that rapists deserve to get raped, that’s fucked up.
Sad but true.
Democrats need to spend money getting this message out to the people. It’s tough when the media is owned by conservatives, but Dems need to find a way to communicate more effectively to get through to the places that don’t see these posts.
A small animal not being visible to a human or robotic driver is absolutely a viable excuse. It’s sad that the cat died, but it’s first an foremost the fault of the owners for letting their cat out.
I don’t like the tech bro world and I’m not a fan of driverless vehicles, but this didn’t happen because it was driverless and the outcome would be the same if their were a person behind the wheel.
You can definitely argue against cars being on the road in general, but I was on a bike ride with a buddy the other day, and he hit a squirrel that ran between us and then under his bike. Sometimes bad things happen especially when dealing with animals, and blaming a computer blindly is dumb AF.
Of course. I’m an American, not a complete monster.
I’ll be making my 3rd trip up to Canada to snowboard this winter. My wife and I like to travel and like to leave the country, and I make it a point to be as little of a tourist as possible. Learn some local culture and do my best to respect it. I am loud, sorry about that, but I do try to not be a burden when in someone else’s place.
I have had more MRIs that the average person I’m guessing. Probably around a dozen over the last 20 years. They have all been to try and diagnose soft tissue injuries or conditions. Never once have I been given a preventative MRI, they’ve always been targeted because that’s just the nature of MRIs.
Trump didn’t pull some muscle doing strenuous activities. I’m guessing brain or chest, neither something you want needing a scan at 79 years old.
Dude, get off Reddit. The thing that’s going on there now has been going on there for years. It’s a true cesspool over there and using the platform enables them and gives money to spez.
The show was such a disappointment. There was solid source material to work off of, and they just shit all over it. They did Henry Cavill dirty, and dragged the witcher IP through the mud so much so it will probably never be put on screen again to present the actual story.
I have been balls deep in some copilot studio stuff over the past week. It is legitimately one of the worst applications I’ve use in my life. In a business environment, there is no security unless you pay for premium licenses for every user that touches a managed environment. That’s $30 per user per month for basic security. If you have one agent that 1000 employees may use, that’s baseline $30k per month. If you don’t have a managed environment, the anybody in your organization with a copilot license (not copilot studio) can login to the default environment, create agents, and share them indiscriminately. There is no middle ground.
Fuck everything about Microsoft. I really hope that AI kills them.
I think we’ll just have to disagree on this one. I don’t think this was trolling and I don’t think this is anything like MTG and Boebert. The speech has brought media attention to this that has reached people that otherwise didn’t know it was happening. His message wasn’t something juvenile like those examples you mentioned but rather something serious. It probably won’t change the minds of anyone in powers, but even if it reaches a few people and moves them a little closer to changing their mind, then it was better than nothing. I don’t believe a second that it’s going to have the adverse effect of turning anyone off that already was never going to be swayed.
I didn’t know that this was happening until this morning when it was half way done. I found out through various articles. I’m sure I’m not the only person that saw that, and I can guarantee that others saw the headline that a Democrat gave a 23 hour speech and found something positive in that. Imo, that’s better than a headline that says no Democrats argued against the current regime. There was no musical number or childish gestures, but a legitimate speech. The delivery of the message is important and this was delivered professionally.
I would be elated if any of my reps did even the bare minimum to try and represent me.
You could have just not commented, but you woke up and decided that your gonna go out and just be a dick for no reason.
What a sad fucking life.
… Oh, .ml, that makes sense.
