  • On one hand, I would like the first thing Trump does when he gets back into office to be to default and lead America into years of economic downturn.

    On the other hand, I don't want to live through YET another economic downturn.

    On the practical side of things, their is enough Democrats and a handful of Republicans in the house and senate that will vote for anything that raises the debt limit to get it passed - the only barrier is scheduling a vote in the house. When democrats only will vote for a democratic speaker and republicans can only loose 3 votes off of a majority and recall with 1 vote, the needed vote to pass the house becomes 436-2.

  • That is the deal: We give as much attention right up to the election as we can, then we get a break! Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Years are meant as a cooling off period. If we were supposed to keep paying attention, the president would be put into office the next day.

  • Think of the average human intelligence, then realize half of them are below that.

    People are saying "there is no way an AI is as smart as a human". There are a few humans i know that being as smart as them wouldn't be much of a challenge.

  • Authentication for my work email: Enter 28 character password, receive sms, enter message, log in

    Authentication for my Battle.net account:

    -Enter email made before 2000 because they don't let you change email

    -Enter password

    -Get rejected

    -Solve CAPTCHA

    -Try backup passwords, get rejected

    -Request new password

    -Send request to 24 year old email

    -Try to log on to 24 year old email, email is suspicious and sends Authentication request to my newer email

    -Open newer email, Authenticate older email

    -open old email, Put in code to battle.net

    -Battle.net requests Authenticator code from Battle.net app

    -Open battle.net app (no requests)

    -Try manual code, doesn't work

    • Realize Battle.net app Authenticator not connected

    -Try to connect Battle.net app Authenticator to account

    -Realize you cannot connect Authenticator without signing in AND signing in requires Authenticator

    -Close Battle.net app

    -Open Blizzard Authenticator

    -Close warning that this app got depreciated in January

    -Enter manual code

    -it works

    -Attempt to change password to password I first attempted

    -Won't let me use same password

    -Try logging in using that password

    -Still doesn't work - Solve one more CAPTCHA

    -Change password to backup password and back to original password - have to solve 2 more Captchas

    -Finally works

    -Log in

  • Trump has ONE tactic:

    Propose something crazy, after the backlash, compromise on what he wanted in the first place.

    Democrats and Republicans hashed out a compromise bill. Trump proposes removing all the stuff Democrats want AND removing the debt ceiling. Backlash! They remove the debt ceiling language and pass the bill with ONLY the stuff Democrats wanted removed. Trump gets want he wanted.

    All the press have a field day with stories like "Republicans defy Trump! Trump negotiation power limited!"

    HE GOT WHAT HE WANTED! How is that a loss?

  • Let the charter schools try this first. Eventually something like this will be integrated into common education, but the first attempts are guaranteed to be disasters. Let those fall on 1/4 of learning time of a small subset of Arizonian charter school students and not "all California public school students" or the like.
