So I was thinking about this. When is the last time you were in a room with a billionaire in any sort of non-secure facility?

At least in the US, it's not like they go just anywhere. They also almost always have bodyguards.

I've been to a few conferences with a billionaire in attendance, and the event itself was very secure just because it had IP in the event center.

I later learned that the building itself had an entirely separate entrance and exit for VIPs. Not like run of the mill VIPs, VIPs that owned helicopters that took them too and from the airport.

Apparently it's very common. Most notably are hospitals with private entrances and exits needed protect patient privacy. I think it's a lot harder than we think.

I wonder how impacted Greek politics is impacted by Israeli money. If it is, that may be the point.

The fuck out of here with that date. My kid loves that song too no way it's over a decade old. Goddamn

Ok, you people angry about the first source are distracting from the obvious discussion.

What the actual fuck?

The problem isn't that this could draw the US in. It will get drawn in, but not because of this.

This is going to drag the entire region into war. Netanyahou is risking destruction of everything in the region if he does this. He doesn't even care about the preservation of Israel at this point.

This will end up being a weird as fuck world war, with no clear two sides.

That's really strange. A true authoritarian power would want all knowledge of the previous administration, as it gives them complete power in specifically what they can subvert without risking their grasp on power.

This, honestly, sounds like Trump's team truly believes that the corporate hostile takeover can be used in the government to some effect. That's going to have consequences they can't even begin to predict.

That means they really think that people will only respond to fear, and never rebel against a superior power. But more importantly, before violence becomes the outcome, it means an economic disaster the size the world has never seen.

The billionaires supporting this are ultimately shooting themselves in the foot, because they can't see what happens when people don't value what they own.

I knew it was bloody and thousands had been slaughtered, but I'm so surprised they fought back. I never learned they actually had the chance to. So many survivors and observers too. That's reassuring.

It means that the Chinese know their government is not omnipotent. That's why all legal communication is unencrypted and monitored. If citizens were allowed to communicate as they do in the West, they'd be able to organize and overthrow the CCP.

That's what they are afraid of. The people aren't afraid of the mechanized power the PLA has, and as demonstrated in 1989, the power is in numbers. If the CCP doesn't wipe out all memory of Tiannemen Square, they are doomed. But the CCP can't. Unless they cut China off from the rest of the world entirely, the knowledge will remain. The CCP can only get stricter and harsher, speeding up the time for a pressure cooker to explode. They know this. The people know this.

At some point in the future, they will go too far, and the people will end it.

So it turns out when people say "I just threw up a little" online, they may be telling the truth.

This is all sorts of disgusting

And then, compare it to No Man's Sky, who gave us lofty expectations, failed to deliver on launch, but actually kept with it despite no new revenue flowing into the game from existing buyers. And now we have something incredible. We have a universe that is unfathomably large. We have multiplayer, we have all sorts of events and quests. Freighters! You can piece together your own ships now.

I hope we can eventually build space stations or pilot Capital Ships. No Man's Sky came out in 2016. In 8 years it has done far more than SC has done with far less of a budget.

Do I wish we could have everything that Roberts promised? Sure. But I also have a bridge to sell that you can at least walk over.

I'm divorcing. I will have to do that for 5ish years.

Not remotely enthusiastic about that, but at least I can afford it.

The real evaluation I did is discovering just how fucked marriage is.

The deep red seat can't be understated. That part of Minnesota makes absofuckinglutely no sense in its political distribution. It's got what, two or three college towns, the Mayo Clinic, and the rest is a mix of redneck "country types" and farmers.

Super highly educated area, but not densely populated. Big ol bunch of religious types too.

I fucking missed that. Jesus.

What the fucking hell

I suspect that when they declared him brain dead, it was too early in recovering from the overdose that his reflexes weren't normal yet.

Drug interactions and drug metabolism are complete unknowns, as I strongly suspect this guy did not have genomic testing done before they administered narcan or whatever antidotes they needed to push.

Without looking at the actual numbers, the likelihood of this is probably far less than waking up from any surgery in general.

Which is still less likely than actually dying during elective surgery.

"Were in the middle of harvesting his organs..." He'd be dead by that point.

They can probably remove the corneas before incisions are made for the major organs, but once they make that first incision, those organs come out in a matter of minutes to be placed in sterile containers.

"Had gone into cardiac arrest" meaning his heart stopped. From a drug overdose. Anyone here wanna guess what that means? You got it - CPR. Anyone who knows how to actually do CPR knows that if you do it correctly you are breaking ribs. That's going to hurt like fuck when you wake back up.

When they harvest organs, they aren't just specialized butchers in there. These are surgeons, specifically specializing in organ transplant. The room for error in this specialty is 0. Every modern surgery, regardless of it is organ harvesting or not, will ultimately have a "pause" where everyone goes down the list to make sure everything that needs to be checked is checked.

He likely didn't get to the pause, he probably woke up before that. He was probably being evaluated by the team, and one individual caught something that had been overlooked. The rest of the team spent time to verify, then determined they could actually revive him. This is not a pleasant experience. He would not have been given pain medication beforehand, as he was in for a drug overdose, I could predict it probably wouldn't work anyway.

Whoever went public with this will cause many deaths because of the increase in fear of organ donation.

After cleaning your first blowout nothing seems so bad does it

A lot of people seem to ignore that presidents who were particularly effective were lawyers.

Clinton (economic boom of the 90s), Obama (cleaning up Bush Jr's mess), FDR (New Deal, WW2), Wilson (Antitrust laws, regulatory acts), Taft (16th amendment), Harrison (regulatory and national Forest laws), Arthur, Lincoln, Jefferson, Adams.

Having a former state prosecuting attorney running in an election is bringing the big guns to anyone who tries to be argumentative. Battles she chooses to take, she wins. Battles she won't have a choice in? She's going to get the best possible outcome.

If the ultra right cared about arguments, the GOP wouldn't stand a chance. They might as well be talking to the barrel of a tank.

Good lord if that ain't the truth.

It has every opportunity to be good, but I can't even navigate the goddamn menus, let alone step into my ship.

Forget about using something other than a mouse and keyboard too, it just won't work.
