These companies were never our allies, fair weather opportunists only willing to say they value us so long as it costs them nothing. I remember the few businesses that would openly support lgbt causes back in the early 90s back when public support was not on our side. These cowardly corpos today get a tiny whiff of fascist whining and immediately throw us under the nearest bus.

It would be an impressive way to pick a much worse running mate than Vance.

Beaumont, so good odds of being a conservative.

I imagine they still have fissile material in them, since that is hard to move without intelligence agencies catching wind. Other parts, rocket fuel, etc. very well may have been stolen.

But we should treat them as though they still have nukes, even if we think our defenses could overcome them.

Nobody should believe Frank Luntz about anything.

A lot is riding on this, given the unprecedented impact of the last debate i expect a lot of people will be watching.

The headline doesn't really match the article which actually points out that the US doesn't have a 3D printed gun problem because firearms are already readily available there. The 3D printed gun problem in Europe originated in Europe, it didn't spread from the nonexistent problem in the US. The US has a problem with weapon modifications that break or sidestep existing restrictions, but despite the article's take, this isn't limited to 3D printed mods.

Well this is an unfortunate reminder that Dick Cheney is still alive.

So his son was being investigated for making threats to shoot up the school and he decided that the best gift was a gun that could allow his son to act on those threats.

Charging him in connection with the shooting seems appropriate.

It's funny because i went to a DoDD school and I never took it. I think only the ROTC kids did.

It definitely started with Reagan.

While he didn't originate the expression he did go on TV to quip “The nine most terrifying words in the English language are ‘I’m from the government and I’m here to help.’”

Which is such a deeply stupid thing to say, but it perfectly characterized Reagan's animosity towards the bureaucracy that makes our country function. He did immense damage to that bureaucracy in his tenure, politicizing department heads that had previously been professionals, crippling useful programs like welfare and greenlighting wasteful ones like Star Wars. Conservatives are eager to make the government as ineffective as they claim it to be.

Project 2025 will be this and so much worse, but this trend really took off with Reagan.

Just add it to the pile of reasons why that man's grave should be spit upon.

"There is nothing we can do to stop this!" says only country where this happens.

My dad has said since I was a kid that the secret to US political stability was the professional bureaucracy keeping everything running no matter who was in charge.

The really bad part is that once it's fucked it is exceptionally hard to un-fuck it. The people who leave find other work or retire and there is no private sector equivalent so you just lose all the expertise. This plan will cripple our country for a generation if it's allowed to come to fruition.

It's unfortunate because I just want a place where I can ask where to find comfortable walking shoes that don't have leather.

The gate here is really cool, I remember from my optical classes all the different ways to encode bits on a photon over fiber, I am curious which properties are more and less suitable for this application.

Has it ever worked out when a big studio buys the rights to a game from an indie?

I played Civ 1 as a kid and civ 2 was a big improvement. Civ 3 I had to stop playing because it was interfering with my college. Civ 4 was my favorite and I played thousands of hours of it (after BtS) great modding scene too. Civ 5 was ok, but i found I played it the same way a lot. I did not like Civ 6 at all, mostly because of the AI, but also the civics system.

I am not especially confident in Civ 7, but I will reserve judgement. I often play 4x games multi-player and if they use the same DLC policy as Civ 6 I will probably give it a miss.

Kills an 80 year old woman by running her over and then later murders the dog the woman was protecting.

This psychopath needs to never get out of prison.

All unilateral contracts where one side holds all the cards and can arbitrarily dictate or even alter previously agreed to terms should be held to the strictest standards. This includes employment agreements, terms of service, license agreements and so on.

Contracts between equals can be more permissive.
