Let them replace Trump with somebody even worse. They will get beat at the ballot box too.

That’s not how you write off a corporate jet from your taxes.

Why stop there, here is a much better picture for primal fear response: https://www.nbcnews.com/id/wbna27426933

I refuse to put anything on my phone, she as naked as the day I got her.

I’ll bring hammocks

I never said the US was better, but it does give money for kids.

Uhh, you realize the US gives $2000 per child every year in a tax credit right?

Already bought my first house and have a 4 month old. I’m also cool with this even if we miss the 1-year cutoff.

There is a piece of this that is beyond their control when dealing with the secret service. Since the assassination attempt, the secret service has denied the kinds of open field and outdoor events that Trump thrives on.

I don’t think that explains all of it, but there are factors other than scheduling and staff work.

A live stream with tens of thousands of simultaneous viewers is, almost by definition, a scheduled DDOS. Even Apple struggled for years to get it right for their WWDC Keynote events back when they were live.

I replied on the other thread. https://lemmy.world/comment/11678263

There was a children’s summer program where they painted crosses on rocks and other symbols of faith, like the Jesus fish. They were having the kids hold them in their pockets and hold them while they prayed, like a daily reminder kind of thing but also an arts and crafts idea.

Well, one elder got super pissy about the idea their grandkids were “praying to idols” and got a bunch of parents all hot and bothered. After a bit of handwringing, the church asked the teacher to either step down or leave the church. That triggered the other half of parents who either 1) didn’t see the whole ordeal as such a big problem or 2) liked the teacher and their family. Chaos spiraled from there… all over painted rocks.

Edit: this happened in rural Texas, there wasn’t much going on down there so I’m convinced people did this kind of thing for the mere sport of it.

Happened to my grand parents’ church in the 90s. They had this big disagreement over rocks (not joking) and then the infighting tore the church apart. Half of the group left and built their own building across the street and the other half stayed. Neither church ever really recovered from that.

It takes 8 minutes for the light to travel from the sun to Earth. Because light in a vacuum travels faster than anything, including information, we would not and could not know it had disappeared for 8 minutes. This means Earth would continue to follow its orbit around a non-existent sun for 8 minutes because the Sun’s gravity would still be acting on the Earth.

If it was nighttime, you wouldn’t notice the sudden lack of sunlight (other than if it was a full moon) but you’d almost certainly notice the change in gravity.

Edit: actually, you wouldn’t feel any difference in gravity or experience any change of acceleration. What you would experience is a very tiny vibration, of 1 million push notifications being sent to your phone from the other side of the planet.

I think that’s a risk, but Trump’s pathological ego will not allow anybody to call him weird, or strange, or abnormal.

My only concern is it is the start of August, and this weird argument is very powerful. I wish we were doing this in late September. My worry is weird will park and become old and stale by November.

That’s because it is intentional subterfuge to try and diffuse the PR disaster.

I would like to think those families believe in habeas corpus

Fundamentals: Intel powers the US military industrial complex, they’ll weather this storm.

Yep, and Llama 3.1 just came out, which is the most open state-of-the-art LLM out right now.
