Just this week, the federal court that originally had the case ruled that the gerrymandered map was unconstitutional, using a theory totally separate from what the Supreme Court used to strike down the original ruling. So democracy's still got a little life in it.

Anyone willingly making that choice has a massive safety net protecting them (almost always family money)

Maybe snowflake was a bad example considering that stock is up 36 percent today haha

yeah, wild!

Uber would never take any immoral action like that. They've always been upstanding citizens.

What money did you give Uber in advance? Why would you have a balance needing to be refunded if you have not taken a ride?

Yea I've definely called it an auto complete clanker a few times and it's never given me any backtalk

Plot twist: it opened a Moltbook account and leaked all your API keys :D

The gas furnace in my basement don't have a massive jet turbine emiting high frequency noise

It's the low frequencies that's more of an issue apparently. Benn Jordan has a great series of videos about it, including one on Colossus

I wouldn't call noise pollution a "tremendous externality". The gas turbines should just be placed far enough from where people live.

Should, but in fact are too close.

It's not a tremendous externality. It only affects a very small group that lives nearby.

A tremendous externality was leaded gas that was everywhere.

The purpose of everything is to distract from everything else. It's the "flood the zone" concept.

I don’t think this argument really makes sense tbh. When you own the justice department and congress, what matter does it make? Epstein stuff was going to to stale regardless, as much as I hate that fact.

Agreed. I think the Epstein angle was just a bonus to a decision made by an incompetent commander-in-chief of the military. It being the sole reason seems farcical even for this administration.

I don't think it's actually supposed to be an argument. It's just a Redditism that occasionally pops up here.

pretty sure people already had epstein fatigue and didn't really care anymore.

yes billioanires participated in crazy unethical parties with human traffiked hookers, water is wet.

to be a billionaire you have to have an inherit evil inside you, otherwise your concious would simply never allow you to build up wealth to that point without redistributing it to employees, people who helped you get where you are, improving your community and so on.

children, girls

Calling children who are sexual assault victims "hookers" is certainly a choice.

eh, lazy writing on my part. intention was to describe the fact that they were forcefully turned into hookers and it doesn't matter that they're children or not: they're both extremely wrong, one more than the other, but in the grand scheme of things it doesn't make it any better if they were not children.

"human trafficked woman and children turned into hookers"*

I've had a lot of fun with onshape, it's free for public projects

While the burning of methane is cleaner, the extraction of methane is a massive source of uncontrolled pollution emissions which is made worse by the fact that methane is 20x worse for greenhouse effect than CO2. Clean methane is another green washing myth to encourage people to keep consuming at much as possible

A lot of it is just captured during oil extraction, whereas before it just wasn't captured.

It sounds like you are describing oh my open agent

I use Repoprompt's workflows for this. They are pretty good.
