    @Axtremus said: @Mik said: He aspires to be a great president. Can you name a U.S. president who did not aspire to be a great president? “Aspiring to be a great president” is not a point of distinction, but rather a common trait, even a de facto prerequisite, for the office. Are you just blithely implying that Trump has America's best interest at heart? The rest of your tribe may draw and quarter you for that. Don't say it on Bluesky.

    It was predictable. And not too scary. And my favorite shows these are ones that wrap up after the first season and don’t make you think too hard. With all the stressful shit going on IRL lately, I absolutely cannot deal with cliffhanger drama in the shows I watch to escape that, lol.

    @jon-nyc said: It seems weird in that it’s not really enforceable because if I do share your confidential information with AI and there’s leakage you’d never know the source. Just don’t rebut any of these NDA’s with more than 100 words. You’ve just shown your cards then.

    Not that I care, but that video I posted earlier of the tour of their launch pad... I really enjoyed watching it and learning all about it, and MAN that puts the destruction in context about what was lost.

    @Doctor-Phibes said: @NobodySock said: I’m beginning to wonder if there is a vibe in here where people of a more liberal mindset are forced to keep the peace in their mind by soft playing their rebuttals to things I don't really have an interest in constantly fighting with people. What's the point? It's not like anybody's going to say 'Shit, Phibes, you've been right all along, I am an asshole!' Believe me if I knew that was the truth of things I’d be the first to say you’re an asshole ha ha ha ha ha ha

    I’m going to a game in July. July 1 to be exact at Levi stadium in Santa Clara. It’s the second round so I have no idea who is playing. ChatGPT tells me the best chance is USA Switzerland. But we wait and see.and yes it’s expensive but obviously not 30 grand. We are sitting up top. About $750 a piece.

    Notice the decline in vaccination. That will bring an uptick in child mortality and down tick in basic education.
