The Christian Bible has the same restrictions about eating pigs, but they just ignore it. A lot of Jewish people in the US do as well.

Let's be honest, Obama is at least partially responsible for the USA being in the situation it is now. We don't need Obama again, we need an actual left candidate that will actually fight for leftist agenda items, like Medicare for all, and not double down on W Bush policies and kill thousands of people with drones.

Obama ran on a left leaning agenda with major grassroots support, then dismantled that organization and governed as a center right Democrat.

Given that he's already said they will find the cause by September tells you he already has labeled vaccines as the cause and is just preparing the 'evidence'. That isn't enough time to actual study a widespread factor like environmental pollution. Also far too many corporations would lobby to directly stop any research into that.

This is a big reason why I continue to cringe whenever I hear one of the endless news stories or podcasts about how AI is going to revolutionize our society any day now. It's clear they are being better with image generation but text 'thinking' is way too unreliable to use like human replacement knowledge workers or therapists, etc.

As somebody who's data was compromised during a previous OPM breach,I have been telling folks this would happen from day 1. These guys are all clowns, probably using free accounts on Box or other filesharing sites to store sensitive data.

Is that supposed to be safer than the body scanner? I just wish we didn't have to take our shoes off.

What are you hoping will happen? Everyone has to get a physical pat down?

My money is on them not returning him. They will either claim they can't find him, he's been moved to some other facility and they can't find him or there isn't any proof he's actually there at all.

Even taking his bullshit argument at face value, he thinks the best solution for these violent drug addicts is to leave them out of the street? Who is the audience here? If you literally think they are all violent, why is leaving them free to roam around the right solution?

I know it's all about money and grandstanding on his part but this definitely seems like some under-the-influence kind of deep thoughts.

Truly how can Elon even roleplay as a PoE 2 player if he doesn't even know about DnD. Has he been playing it like this the entire time? His DMs must regularly be flooded even when he's know trying to stream.

That name of the building is the backstory I was referring to. That was a headnod to what was actually happening with Japanese investors moving in and buying up a lot of American real estate. I think that's when a Japanese group bought the Plaza hotel in NYC for example and when Sony bought a movie studio (renamed it Sony pictures, but I think it was CBS movie division).

Gung Ho, staring Michael Keaton, is another movie example.
