If they float, it typically means the person is consuming too much fat in their diet. Not always but moat times.

Do you want real life Exo Squad? Because this is how you get Exo Squad.

Joking aside, while this may be faster, I think it would safer in the long run to keep focusing on actually getting to space and achieving faster than rockwt/thruster propulsion and let evolution work with that.

I know you are being a little facetious but I think there really is a nugget of truth there. I didn’t full realize how much my Healthcare is, until this past reup and it got me thinking how many people probably don’t realize how much they are paying because it is a pre-tax deduction so they technically don’t even see the bill to realize how much they are paying.

Because they would also be paying for yours as well…

I swear people can not grasp that concept. This is not directed at you OP. I am just piggybacking my literal astonishment at these peoples cognitive dissonance.

That is not true. They still need probable cause to detain you, and if they have that they can actually hold you up to a max of 72 hrs before they must file actual charges. But for a stop they can only detain you in so long to effect the investagory period. That can take however long but for say a traffic stop should be like 20-30 minutes.

Why get rid of the spot light on him and allow everyone to stay in the shadows?

I would LOVE to see a source on this, but I have a feeling I already know where it is coming from.

Yes, but also no.

They don’t call it the 1%, or 2%, or whatever percentage you want to use for nothing. There is still a large portion of boomers, my parents included that drank the kool-aid and by kool-aid I mean the pick yourself up by the bootstraps and work hard and you will be successful bs. They along with the rest of the leftover portion of their generation are pretty much unable to retire, just like the article points to. That is the class warfare. It doesn’t matter what generation they are from it really does boil down to the haves and have nots.

The true point of Capitalism is like a big game of monopoly at the end only 1 person is going to win. There really is no other way for it to go down.

Yeah I am betting it will be 75 for me and I am only 43 now.

The guillotine?! Which your brain/consciousness can stay functioning for 30 sec and up to like 4 min? That is better than nitrogen asphyxiation?

Now by all means by your criteria, yes it is fast and there is very little room for failure. However I think we still don’t know if it is as painless as we perceive it to be with how long you can stay concieous.

Regardless I am also of the same mind that we could move away from capital punishment as a society.

How are they influenced, and they aren’t used being used for publicity from what I can tell from the article. One of the first posts here does a pretty good summary of the article that it centers more around the outrage than actually the after-school program itself.

I am pretty sure we are coming from the same place here but I would like to point out anyway the hypocrisy of this seemingly strawman argument. If anyone has relocated to different states(like I have) they should know each one can be vastly different and for an issue as big as this and as impactful as this should not be left up to the states becuase of that fact. I again, realize I am just reiterating what has already been said but it is just so incredulous to believe that a percentage of the population thought that this was a good idea.

Yeah we see how well that has worked out with the few media posts about women fleeing states to get an abortion and the state AG is trying to hold the out of state hospital accountable. Where is the “leaving it up the states”, there?

I mean look how Brexit turned out to the rest of the EU.

I would have liked to have been a bug on the wall to hear the grand jury deliberate this one. I mean I get the knee jerk reaction, but even so a kid who it seemingly was complying with instructions, gets shot anyway. How is that not negligent?

I think they were just side stepping since they paused the lower courts ruling and then when they found out she left the state they dismissed their ruling as moot and then just went and overturned the lower courts. Pretty fucking spineless but they can still throw a supposed W and make themselves out to upholding values or some other BS talking point.

But that has been the theory being toted by a certain percentage of people for the past 40 years. The whole trickle down economics. That is hard thing to get out of your head since it has been there for so long.

No this meme is just that old.

That is not exactly true. While it is true that the military brought Starlinks over to Poland and Musk gave 1500 units to Ukraine as well. There was a lot of back and forth because technically you are not supposed to use a commercial product for actual military operations. For everday activities it was fine but when Ukraine started sending drone feeds over the systems and supplied those feeds to the US Forces, it sort of crossed a line and they had to start negotiating the terms in the contracts as well as scaling back the usage. So all along Musk has been walking a fine line with being complicit with his tech being used for war and trying to avoid it.

Let me clarify I am not a Musk apologist, I am just adding some context. I still do not like that he can seemingly over reach like this, but if the terms were not in place and negotiating was not done he is within his rights.
