“Seems accurate” isn’t accurate CJ. 1. Immunity for core constitutional powers 2. Presumptive immunity for official acts. 3. No difference from anyone else for non-official acts

100%. I also blame Obama and the dem politicians who legislated this into existence. This has been a disaster.

This is a great way to think about it. Put in the same effort and get farther. AI is a bicycle, not a motorcycle.

>If people in the US try to turn climate action into a blame game, it will end very very poorly for the US. Pure fantasy. What will happen to the US and who will do it to us?

Idk I see a bunch of great commentary in response. Noted that I should not assume good intent from you.

>Is that not right-wing? I don't think many self-described "right-leaning" people would have called Clinton "right wing" in the 90s. I 100% see your point and agree with you that he had major policies that I woul

Nope no stealth edit, my bad. My point still stands, "politics change and assessments of politicians change accordingly". Bill Clinton's crime bill would be considered far right today. Ronald Regean's amnesty bill would

de Gaulle would be considered insanely far right today. Many aspects of Bush (assuming GW here) would be considered not in line with America's far-right today. Assume good intent. It helps you see the actually interesting point being m

It's not your fault for leaving your property in your car. Wild to say that.

Thanks for the response, agreed on the definition of "pain tolerance." I do think that the US population is able to bear incredible levels of pain if it's packaged a certain way. Examples: -20 year Global War on Terror which

It's easier to explain if we knew your country. But in general: limited resources, us vs them, etc. Same thing as Rome vs Carthage.

>China has a much high pain tolerance than US citizens at least Can you give some examples of why you think this? I really can't imagine how this would be true. Best examples would be in last 25 years when they've had mass affl

Thank you both for that info. I didn't know any of that (except for the metal bar in Paris).

Very funny you got me there. I think you’ll find that threats of violence (which is what your comment is) need to be much more unhinged to be effective deterrents. Remember you’re warning off barbarians (eg us Americans or the Russians), no

Really love this, seriously great analysis (even though I'd quibble on a few points). Stability is a relative thing though. It's hard to judge this except in relation to what other countries were doing. >Various Euro nations S

Yes to manipulation. But also it asserts factually a lot that isn't true, which is why I downvoted.

The "actual cost" is a loaded term and probably cannot be known without putting reasonable bounds on it. Nonetheless, two thoughts come to mind: 1) we don't know the "actual cost" of offshore wind 2) we may not be a

This is a thread about morals, not tech. Many people are talking about how immoral ICE (and therefore Palantir) is, and I want to present the side that they are in fact doing exactly what many people in our society thinks needs to be done (

Huge difference between taking an equity stake in a failing company and nationalizing a successful company. Either way, those seeds were planted well before this admin, though this admin can be seen to have watered/tended them.

Non-violent marijuana users haven't ever materialized as a large cohort of the prison population. Sorry, I too used to believe that prisons were overflowing with them

The numbers are fuzzy but they indicate that at least a simple majority of (and possibly up to an extreme majority) of prisoners have committed violent crimes.
