That said, it cost 300 million to makes and 5 years to develop. Getting a return in the billions after 10 years is expected, otherwise they might as well save all that time and energy, and massive financial risk, and just buy conservative ETFs with that 300 million and sit at the beach.

The fear is they only show up for trump. And will when the time comes. I think that fear is valid. Low engagement voters either don’t mind trump, or they love trump, and they will show up in much greater numbers in the general.

Hopefully neither, and they’ll arrest the organizers/pimps/etc.

sex workers and clients should be the lowest priority.

Are Johns (and sex workers) even worth prosecuting? I think the DOJ is interested in a organized prostitution ring and it’s leaders, involved in conspiracy and money laundering, not a few dudes paying for (adult) sex.

I don’t think they’ll waste their time.

Ok but which one is the least evil? I’m gonna throw out Costco.

In one specific hardware ranking. Consoles sales don’t quantify market dominance. Game sales do. And with these recent acquisitions msft will be dominating game sales.

Putin is bad at chess.

I appreciate that there’s less ragebait here. It’s not nonexistent, but I feel like Reddit is filled with it.

I married in Italy, and came here shortly after. I’ve travelled to many places, but that was one place I’ll never forget. I hope when I retire it will be near a place with half the beauty of this place.

No. Not really. But I’m sure it did a month ago.

There’s always more poor counties to exploit. There’s only so many rich ones to sell to.

I usually prefer hotels too, but I’ve never had this issue. What I don’t like is the extra fess they add though. Makes it hard to compare prices since “per night” has almost no reflection on how much total cost of the stay.

When I was in Rome I had a beautiful apartment for $70 per night with a terrace garden, a balcony, a grill, a full kitchen, a private laundry room, locals cafe, locals bakery. You don’t any of those things with a hotel, and yet mediocre rated hotels in that area were like 5x more.

Facts =! Rhetoric

Why are you so against people being informed?? Denialism and history revisionism is violent toward the innocent. And enables the guilty.

Killing people and trying to overthrow the government is divisive though. Maybe stop defending the indefensible and we can move forward as a country.

It’s these loser centrists that keep giving the extreme right cover. They did it during the civil rights era, they did during the drug war, they did it when we invaded Iraq. They do it with police brutality. They’re worse than the right. Because they are capable of knowing better but they don’t speak truth, and they don’t stand with those who need them. Selfish with heads in the sand. They seek peace’s between victims and assailants for their own slight and temporary sense of comfort.

Facts =! Rhetoric

In 2022 every single politically motivated mass murder / terror attack was done by a right winger.

Don’t want to lose the hook.

The biggest issue with these weapons is when used in areas with civilian populations. If they’re used over tranches in the battlefield, I see less of an issue. Especially as a defensive measure against a conquest invasion.

First step is testing safety. Then you give it to a much larger group to establish the level of effectiveness, since you need a lot of data to establish that. After the effectiveness is established you would declare it safe AND effective.

SMH. Can’t imagine how that’s not obvious.

Well that just makes good sense.

You only want the surface dry.
