It seems like literally all he had to do was say he’s getting rid of his Tesla and he’s got Redditors saying they’ll die for him. He didn’t even have to get rid of it, just say he did, and Redditors who had never heard of him before, suddenly want to make him President. Redditors are truly a singularity of cowardice and delusion.

Also remember when Redditors were all dickriders of Elon Musk? Remind them of this whenever possible.

Good timing, I found this little clip about just that.
I FUCKING LOVE SCIENCE!
 
I disagree. I thought it was the ruining the country.
I’ll always love how Norm never used a “joke voice.” So many comedians out on a funny voice or take a specific tone when they’re doing a bit. Norm just spoke like Norm, which made it impossible to tell when he was gonna lay one on you, which just amplified every joke
 
When you lied on the job application and somehow still got the job





Context: 2 literal rocket scientists are unable to answer a relatively softball question about which capsules are used for which mission and why. Typically slippery answer from NASA ”We lost da telemetry data from Apollo n sheeeit” niggers.
 
It’s a very minor complaint of mine but I’m not looking forward to all of the internet tough guys vague-posting about The Ides of March tomorrow.

The assassination of Caesar led to 100 years of civil war in Rome, and gave rise to some literal batshit emperors. It was not a good thing, to say the least. But every year since I can remember people take March 15th to joke about regicide like it’s something funny,

I prefer order to chaos, just my two cents. I’m done.

People forget that Caesar was assassinated not because he was some tyrant, but because he tried to give the common people's councils more power and was becoming insanely popular amongst said people. He was a decent statesman, a decent general, and a surprisingly decent philosopher and learned man (literally invented the modern calendar), effectively one of the few people that fit Plato's philosopher-king standard since Alexander. The senators, effectively ran by an oligarchy of gossipy catty teenage girls petty kings, didn't like that, especially since before he was a relative nobody amongst the aristocracy, with little gold or political power to throw about before his success as a general. So then they crown him because he won a civil war they started, then killed him, then also immediately knew they fucked up after killing him and had to prevent another civil war by basically invoking divine right to rule and crowning Octavius...who then took the name Caesar.

tl;dr senators are retarded no matter what era.

All the people who are thinking of re-enacting the Ides of March should look up what happened to the ''''''Liberators'''''''
 
Mostly correct but guys like Cicero tried to divide and conquer the Caesar faction post assassination but did not expect them to be able to see past rivalries for potential gains.
To be fair I completely left out the civil war that happened anyways (even after they tried placating those loyal to Caesar and their armies), and the triumvirate, and what have you, but either way Octavius basically became a god-king no matter what he called his own position, all because of the senate being retarded, and the later aristocrats had to basically beg him for their senatorial authority back and crown him anyways because he became insanely popular himself. As we all know, this then lead to Rome's early golden age, with peace, prosperity, and political outreach.

If plenty of this sounds similar, that's because political history is a goddamn circle.
 
regardless of how practical AI is, it's the next arms race and if it does turn out to be a significant technology then it's better that we have the infrastructure available to do research on American soil. imagine if we had our own Large Hadron Collider to compete with the commies in europe
While Bush Senior was president, he had authorized the construction of the largest hadron collider in the world. With it wrapped around the Dallas-Ft Worth metroplex. But one of the first things Clinton as POTUS had done was to shitcanned the whole thing and backed the Euros in building the hadron collider in Switzerland.
 
Wasn't it Graydon Carter (editor of Vanity Fair, at the time writing for Sky) who started the "small-fingered vulgarian" thing back in 1988?
He mentioned it in an article and claims ever since that Trump sends him pictures with his hands circled as an own. Carter is full of shit. And while he might be the first to mention Trump's hands, it is Schumer who pushed it as an attack when Trump seriously ran in 2016.

Everyone praising Clinton as some kind of pragmatic Democrat didn't live through the era. That rat bastard sold us out to the EU and China every chance he got, and turned the diplomatic opportunity of a millennium, the dissolution of the USSR, into nothing more than a cash grab for himself and his buddies. He was a piece of shit, through and through, and is fondly remembered solely because falling interest rates and the dot-com boom fueled a period of economic good times.

lol they're all pussies. They won't do shit. And on the off-chance I'm wrong and someone really does try something, it'll be half-assed, they'll fuck it up, and either kill themselves in the attempt, get themselves shot, or screw up so hard they get busted well before making the attempt.

They don't have the budget for the kind of sharpshooter they sicced on Trump during the election cycle anymore.
