  1. I don't think there's any question who the first game starter is as long as he gets the playbook down. Raiola is consistent and effortless.
  2. Is it like a lesson plan day at school or something? Holy Christ somebody is sucking taxpayer dollars for no return on investment today.
  3. I mean, they are soft hippies from Washington. They don't belong here! I didn't know the sweet 16 was here this year. Wish I was rich enough to go...
  4. So... We should have never listened to our teachers in the first place then?
  5. Of course you should believe all 3 of those things, as I do, but if you really don't think we understand the causes, impacts, and methods to reduce climate change then you don't really believe the bottom circle. Look eco terrorist and wacko protestors are a bunch of idiots, but that doesn't mean the foundation of what they are saying is wrong.
  6. It's ok it will still be warm, and it will consume the earth in about 7 billion years so it will be pretty toasty for us.
  7. Seriously? We know it will be a problem... This isn't debatable. Again, seriously? What sources do you need to understand that the free market doesn't care about the environment? Did you not follow my logic with all the banned things I listed? The electric car has been around for almost 200 years and predates the ICE car by 30 to 40 years. We've known the effects and sources of green house gases for well over 100 years. Hybrids vehicles have been viable for over 20 years. Tesla began mass producing the model S almost 12 years ago. And only now (after heavy international government regulations) are traditional car manufacturers going full bore into electrification and alternative fuels... Free market don't care. Would it shock you to know that China has the highest fleet of personal and commercial electric vehicles of any country in the world? Or that they are now considered the leader in EV vehicle manufacturing, and Western OEMs are terrified of competing with them on price alone? I continue to be amazed at your ability to find rage anywhere you want. You're F150 is not THE problem, and neither is that jet plane. We, as a society, are collectively the problem to our own future. A story as old as time.
  8. It already happens on YouTube ads which show full faces of people like Dr. Phil and Joe Rogan. "The government is lying to you. They dont want you to know this, but..." It's super creepy...
  9. Climate change is real, yes? And we agree that it we'll be a problem or humanity long term, right? Clearly the free market doesn't work to mitigate the issue, so the next logical step would be legislation and consumption tax, no? Are you a smoker? Do you have a problem with tobacco taxes? Do you think we should still be using asbestos, lead paint, CFLs, leaded gasoline, remove catalytic converters from cars, allow companies to leach toxins into the water like hexavalent chromium, maybe it's ok if your near by feed lot drains their s#!t pond into the local tributaries?
  10. Is there though? If I can hire a voice actor who sounds exactly like the person I want them to emulate how is that any different than AI? It's a very murky thing that is trying to be policed.
  11. Yes, because the scientific method doesn't exist
  12. Yes. Comedians have impersonated politicians forever. There have been voice fakes since audio has been recorded. You can't really police that.
  13. I'm pretty sure the government is going to eat most of the bill (which is kind of why we pay taxes, to help with catastrophic events). The companies involved are going to shelter their cash immediately because the cost of building the bridge, laws suites for deaths and for the port closing are probably going to bankrupt them.
  14. Trump hand bras and grab'em by the thongs
  15. Why do I get the feeling you actually counted?
  16. So, they supposedly found the terrorist, beat the s#!t out of them till one's eye popped out and he's in a coma, hooked up a car battery to another's balls, and cut another's ear off and fed it to him (on video).
  17. That's now how climate works. Maybe don't go teaching science or statistics.
  18. Hey David, the US already did what you said they should do 2 hours before you said they should do it.
  19. f#&%ing awful what happened there...
  20. Meh, they don't really play around with the recalls anymore after Takata and the GM key scandal. It's a months long process to determine if it's necessary to issue one, and the government is involved. It's usually just happenstance on the final timing that's announced.
  21. It's not. Recalls happen all the time. I think everybody has had a recall for half a million vehicles in the last 6 months.
  22. As has GM. The bigger issue your missing is why does a company who has been making record profits for years, just gave their CEO a huge raise, and is participating in stock BuyBacks and dividends need to lay people off? Also, those jobs won't be coming back. They're being outsourced to India just like the tech industry. Rumor is there's more to come. They capped it at 400 this time because 500 or more and they have to report it to the state of Michigan before they start the layoffs.
