    Traitor Watch - The 45 & 47 Thread

    You're a little off. He would actually have gone over the border in the opposite direction himself so he could benefit from all the free labor.

    Conspiracy lunatic thread - people who believe in absurd nonsense are dangerous

    Acid + lead creates lead salts, so it's understandable.

    Traitor Watch - The 45 & 47 Thread

    Yup, it was a PR stunt, always was. Most McDonalds are franchised, so I wonder, did the Trump campaign pay this one, or was the owner just a MAGA supporter and willingly lost revenue for a day to support his candidate of choice.

    Conspiracy lunatic thread - people who believe in absurd nonsense are dangerous

    Lead in plumbing goes back to ancient Rome(they used the stuff as a sweetener too, though they actually didn't know any better at the time), but your other points are spot on and the continued use of lead in plumbing AFTER the dangers were known due to the lead industry's meddling is...

    AI don't trust techbros

    Antitrust laws aren't nearly as strong as they were in the 90's. That and this isn't being done to hurt other AI manufacturers, at least not directly. Copiolot is a licensed version of ChatGPT after all. It was Netscape and a couple of other browser developers that brought the lawsuit up in...

    Escalating anti-LGBT+ hate and the terrorism it inspires

    Traitor Watch - The 45 & 47 Thread

    I'm trying to stay positive, Wonko, but as someone who wants to shed my current public persona and live as who I authentically am after hiding it for nearly 40 years, I can't help to be a little anxious over the thing. I'd rather not be forced to hide who I am just to survive for 4 more...

    Newest stuff has Trump with a lead so small it's within the margin of error, but yes, it is concerning. Really don't want a repeat of 2016....

    Someone failed both physics and biology but thinks they are an expert, apparently.

    The Twit destroying Twitter is a Twaitor

    Stop regulating industry, but you better not allow trans teens to express who they are....... Guy is fine 'regulating' things he doesn't like, but if a regulation comes between him and his money, it's bad. Sooner he implodes and his companies end up in saner hands, the better.

    Star's Reach, new game by Raph Koster

    5th test(2nd I've been a part of) just finished. Lots of crashes, which they think they've figured out what was triggering it and my framerate was a bit too low for combat to be effective (my GPU is getting a little long in the tooth and the game hasn't been optimized yet). The surveying...

    Star Trek General Discussion

    Given the ease at which they were able to travel to the 1960s in 'Assignment: Earth' on a pre-retrofit Constitution class and to 1980s on a non-federation starship that Scotty didn't think much of in Voyage Home, I'd say the basic mechanics were understood in the second half of the 23rd century.

    Harris-Walz / Dems

    She was always somewhat moderate(despite Fox News and their more fringe cousins constantly stating otherwise). It's a case of choosing the path of less harm, just like it has been since I was old enough to vote(second Clinton term, for reference), unfortunately. Some of it is trying toappeal...

    Also mail-in-ballot numbers, based on voter registration show Harris with a sizable lead in actual votes cast in most swing states, so far. Likely won't be so sizable after the votes are all counted, but it is a good sign.

    Inside Out 2 - Now on Disney+

    I was capable of embarrassment in kindergarten, so yea the idea of those being teenage emotions are a bit off. They just tend to be amped up during the teenage years, all emotions tend to be until the brain gets used to the new hormonal balance.

    What stupid thing did the GOP say or do this time? Episode 3!

    Their shtick is getting old too. Wealth inequality has grown by orders of magnitude since they started spouting and implementing their policies(didn't help that Clinton, Obama and Biden decided to mostly 'stay the course' with said policies instead of meaningfully rolling them back in any way)...

    Looks like there's another test scheduled a week from now. Testing some of the scout and surveyor related skill trees and progression. Having us set up camp(scout skill) on and map out(surveying skill) a hostile forest world full of skysharks, ballhogs and deer with nothing but a starter...

    Police behaving badly

    Silly Wonko, APC are for actually oppressing the groups they don't like if things go south. It's an investment, you see. A cybertruck is useless for both illegit(like the APCs) and legit police work. Given how much the cybertruck has become a laughing stock, it doesn't even work as a PR vehicle.
