There's more kids with measles in texas right now than there are trans kids competing in college

I swear that dude has an extra hand or two that we just can't see. that was amazing.
A current topical example of this is Trans rights. This is a hot topic at the moment in our country. I am 100% in full support of trans rights. However, if a trade has to be made, and it means sacrificing trans rights for meaningful progress on one of the other three big issues for me (national debt/economy, defense, AI) then so be it.That’s why I don’t wholesale support everything Elon Musk does. And I also choose to not get bent out of shape by really pussy crap while he’s still achieving gains on the things that really matter.I refuse to wholesale support whatever the democrats come up with anymore. I have done that for 32 years. I am done with it. They have violated my trust. Going forward, I will pick and choose the issues that I support based on my own judgment and not the propaganda of a given party.
I agree that the Democrats don't deserve wholesale support but I also don't think wholesale support (or excusing) of everything Elon Musk says or does is the best alternative.
Yeah I hedged it with "excusing" what you don't wholesale support. What is the "really pussy crap" you're referring to?
I accept that I do not live in a world where I get everything that I want. I also accept that I live in a world where compromises must be made, and that frequently horrible collateral damage occurs even when we make the right decision for the aggregate good . I do not like that and I do not approve of it, but I accept it.
Too many Democrats seem willing to compromise on the most important things in order to achieve an ideological victory that benefits very few relative to the detriments.
And regarding abortion, wouldn't the Christian belief be that it's a soul that gets to go straight to heaven instead of having to hang out on earth and potentially go to hell?
I think Michigancat and Spracne are guilty of the boy who cried “mumped up” on this one.
Yeah this is mumped upi’m not bothered by that in the least. What am I missing?

I'm just gonna sit back and watch you lose your mind about a trace gas that even at it's 2024 peak, consisted of .04% of our entire atmosphere.
As of right now, there's pretty much nothing protecting the US homeland from missile attack except MAD
I would think that would absolutely enrage #neocongE . . . but alas, #necongE will prove again and again to be nothing more than hyper-partisan derps.
I suppose had they announced that a new missile system was going to be created to go off to far off lands and kill more brown people and install terrorists as their leader, #neocongE would have been all for it. (But probably not, cus Pubs)
I'm not really interested in an Iron Dome unless Russia or China have, or are building, one.
Are our nukes still turned on to fire and blow up Earth if we get hit by a nuke? Deterrent enough for me.
I guess someone could try explaining what the benefit of refusing to grant citizenship to a group that statistically outperforms children of US citizens in terms of academic performance and income.
You answered the question right here. Racist assholes need to feel superior from their every day crap lives so "being brown" is bad and no matter what, being white is better than being brown regardless of status. tldr: it riles up the dummies and scores political points.
The audience should note that #blueanon academic administrators at various elite institutions have very openly introduced policies that quite clearly make it vastly more difficult for certain people of color to gain entry into (insert elite university here) because those #blueanon admins are jealous that said brown person population typically outperform their more preferred skin pigmentation(s).
Listen, Dax, the USA needs gardeners, roofers and maids too, just like we used to need cotton pickers.
You're better than this
I agreeChina is not some perfect, benevolent actor. They are self-interested too. The question is what to do.you’ve repeated a really important point about AI and its foundation being built on a collective data set. we don’t live in a world that shares data and as soon as we figure out how to build those walls to prevent stolen IP, the better
As far as IP and AI, lmao the whole thing is built on stolen IP. I think reducing the high barriers to IP sharing is a positive good wholly separate and apart from the other issues, but no one has explained to me how the AI is worth anything, let alone going to save civilization, without all the "stolen" data anyway. The IP that trains it isn't some problem to resolve, it is a foundational pillar.
Looks like we are getting one of those fancy iron domes!
Point taken.I don't know if you all watched the full clip but he also talked about the importance of "German values and culture" and the danger of losing that through "multiculturalism that dilutes everything". He stopped himself just short of keeping the bloodline clean.
The "we shouldn't feel guilty for sins of, oddly specifically, our parents and grandparents and great-grandparents" was also bad, but felt less specifically tied to Nazi ideology.
What sins do you suppose were committed by the grandparents and great-grandparents of the German people? Were they bad about leaving the water running when they brushed their teeth?
However, I wonder if you dudes have ever attributed any positives to the culture of Germany? I sure have.
Is it your opinion that positive cultural attributes are eternal and immutable?
i cannot believe that we’re heading to another conference championship game (at home). this has to be the single greatest run in any sport ever in the history of sports
I think I heard the football team was doing something like back-loading nil to create incentive for staying longer. Seems like a good play
You see lots of teams in CFB do this now. Michigan won it all last year by getting higher draft eligible guys to come back/stay for one more year. OSU added some really high end talent, but they also were able to convince guys to come back for one more run and they will probably win it all this year. Neither situation would have happened pre NIL. Tang has to find guys and figure out how to keep them and then add when needed. Just adding a bunch of dudes every year probably isn't going to work.
I'm incredibly ignorant
