Everything is going according to plan for Krasnov.

Oh I’m sorry, did stoking the fires of misinformation and creating a constant state of fear in your base result in a dangerous environment? Who could have seen that coming?

So you’re saying they care about their recognized partnership being specifically referred to as “marriage” over everything else about the actual recognition and governmental benefits that governmental recognition gives them?

I think of marriage as a secular tradition.

I think most of us do, but enough of these fuckers don’t. They think of it as a religious thing deep in their core, and they have strong opinions based around that. My point is that it doesn’t really matter what it’s called, and since that seems to be one of the big hangups with many of the religious fuckers, “marriage” specifically being religious, just call it something else. What something is called is not the hill to die on with stupid people, and there’s enough of them that they can’t be ignored, so we work with what we have. Call it something else, get that new term recognized as an equal reference to marriage for benefits, and let’s finally fucking move on. Arguing with the religious about wording is a losing battle, many of them still think the Earth is like 5,000 years old and dinosaurs are fake. We’re losing a battle with idiots because we’re insisting on a specific terminology that they have a problem with.

Remove the state and federal incentives for marriage. The religious fucks care because they can’t comprehend marriage being a non-religious thing. But because there are real world advantages for being married, it creates a religious barrier that should be against the Constitution.

Most LGBTQ folks I know and have talked to don’t give a fuck what their acknowledged relationship is called as long as it’s recognized by the government for the incentives. If you remove all government incentives for married couples versus individuals, then the actual issue of citizens being denied rights based on religion goes away.

Not just more efficient, vastly more efficient. Algae is 10-50 times faster at processing CO² than trees are. Some algae can be up to 400x as efficient.

It’s just not as “nice” to look at, we usually associate algae with growth in unsafe bodies of water like bogs, etc. versus a nice clean pool or even a maintained pond.

Keep in mind the Tesla board is filled with sycophants and close friends/family type of people. If they’re looking and he didn’t know, that’s a pretty deep betrayal from his perspective.

So a few possibilities.

1. The board started looking and are lying about looking once it leaked.
2. A member of the board started and that leaked, possibly on purpose.
3. Someone leaked that they started looking just to gauge what the response would be from shareholders and the general public.

FYI, this is one of the major reasons to use digital wallets. Like Apple Pay and Google Wallet. They don’t use your actual card info when paying, but a generated virtual card instead.

Likewise one of my accounts provides both a physical card and a separate virtual card, so that’s what I enter whenever making online purchases. Easier to cancel and reissue a virtual card if there is fraud.

And again the white house shoots themselves in the foot.

They could have spun this as a transparent way for Americans to see what products they are purchasing from overseas versus American. It would have still been filled with lies, but they could have made it sound like a good thing. Instead they just look like idiots and Amazon leadership just look like cowards. Amazon is large enough and ingrained in the economy and everyday lives of people to tell the Trump admin to go fuck themselves on this and have the back of Congress and the public, especially if they spun it right.

It was intentional until it leaked. They’d rather look even more incompetent with classified info than just admit whatever the real reason is or make up something fake to cover.

Looking even more incompetent is the best option they thought. That should be extremely worrying. Having yet another classified information scandal is the best option.

Basically, except the newspapers of today no longer care about reputation. They only care about clicks, the bottom line, and speed. Accuracy is no longer a primary focus.

They never are. They all know they are inferior in every way, so they overcompensate by claiming their genes are actually better than everyone else.

Both officially and unofficially probably.

Say what you want, “kick him in the balls” is pretty effective. And I’m willing to bet that several current US billionaires have said the same exact thing, and look where they are now.

These are classic signs of abusive relationships, regardless of autism.

Trying to control and limit your interactions with others. Convincing you to abandon other friendships because those relationships pose a threat to their control over you. Preying on your own insecurities to further increase their power.

That depends on your description of development. Socially, economically, etc we have reverted and are doing the same things that failed 100 years ago. But there have been breakthroughs elsewhere.

Cas9 gene editing through CRISPR has opened a ton of incredibly valuable medical options around that time. The same with mRNA vaccination breakthroughs leading into the COVID era.

This specific thread is talking about transacting business and banking online. You should be more careful to keep your arguments separated. Otherwise you not only look like an idiot but you also prove you can’t multitask for shit.

Are you stupid enough to actually think the Internet is a closed system?

Their endowment as it sits essentially allows them to operate for something like a decade without any external money. And you can guarantee they’ll get a bump in alumni donations if external funding is removed like that.
