"We seem to be moving to some sort of post-reality where people just want fake stories that reinforce their beliefs."

We've been there for years. It's called Fox News. People don't go to Fox for the news. They go there for the affirmation.

Whether fuel mileage or battery range, the aerodynamic concerns will be the same :-)

Yep, also customization. My 1999 Miata I used to have had literally thousands of aftermarket kits to choose from to customize it literally almost any way I wanted. Modern cars are about as customisable as your average toaster, and I care about them about as much.

It's like these people have absolutely no concept of professionalism and professional conduct.

Yep. Never had it and, now, never will :-)

I don't this they're sleeping. I think they are going in this with the open eyes of fanaticism.

And the Republican representatives and candidates are committed 100% to following him straight to Hell. Like there's absolutely no sense of self preservation.

Agreed. Like fentanyl, there may be tightly controlled use cases where it can be safely used, but once it breaks containment it will be wildly destructive to society. The only safe option is to ban them outright.

Yep. As with all things tech, the certainty of the bad has to be weighed against the possibility of good, and with this tech specifically the bad is very bad and even the good is mostly bad. They should not exist at all.

I spent 11 years in the military and always knew what shot I was getting.

Now, as to whether I had a choice on getting it, that's a different story :-)

If I was conspiracy minded I'd think this was the plan.

Uh wut

The one silver lining of the Trump regime is that it is a perfect foil for people to tell you exactly who they are, and when they do, never, ever forget who they plainly told you they are.

When Trump passes and they tell you it was just business, never forget who's side they were on.

Yet another reason Schumer must go. He is wildly out of sync with the base.

Yeah, there are traditions other than ones relying in spooky dogma for legitimacy upon which to build a moral framework.

I maintain that the only reason to vote for the overt white supremacist running a Nazi themed platform was because he's an over white supremacist running a Nazi themed platform, and anyone saying otherwise is either outright lying or lying to themselves.

They should, but they won't because they will tell you that goes against the comity that is the spirit of how Congress works.

"The massive wave that threw the Republicans out of power is actually a mandate to reach across the aisle and work with the Republicans who remain in the spirit of comity and bipartisanship."

-Chuck Schumer (wait for it).

Hurricane Bertha is just asking for trouble.

Unpossible!

Cultist sociopaths.

I maintain that centrist Dems are those who want the Democratic party to be the Republican party they fantasize about, so this tracks.

Apparently neither do the billionaires, to hear them talk.

As always, EAIAC with these folks.

They may only produce a fraction of what Iowa produces, but they have the same number of Senators.

And that's why the next Senate majority leader cannot be Chuck Schumer. Schumer will actively kill any meaningful reform movement.

Reagan -> Bush I -> Bush II -> Trump -> is certainly a trend. That's why I believe the next logical choice after Trump will be Ted Nugent.

Someone knows who did it.

How long until these morph into Iron Man style full face masks?
