I skimmed a bit of the article but my mental processes aren’t feeling flexible enough for quantum nonsense this morning… Are they saying it’s possible to make an observation window into the box of Schrodinger’s cat that allows for observation from an arbitrary distance without speed of light delay?

Few of the shitty things Trump was doing have actually stopped under Biden.

Kids in cages?

• Was allegedly happening even before Trump and it’s still happening now

Reproductive Rights?

• federally gone and state-by-state dissolution continues

Student loan debt?

• hah

Trans rights?

• sooo many states are making great progress in their initiation of a genocide against trans people

Edit to add: A point in Biden’s favor was the Inflation Reduction Act which included some teeth to chase tax-dodging billionaires but Biden’s boner for genocide convinced him to remove all those to pass an “aid” package for Israel

I assumed this one was satire, is that a real tweet?

I’ve been using Eternity for probably nine of these months

Not disrespecting your statement OP, thank you for making it

…tens of thousands…

FTFY

My morning shower collects a looot of nasal discharge…

Notable that their haven’t violent protests anywhere zionists and cops weren’t involved

Hey, just so you know I am plenty excited! This is gonna be great!

Huh, I wonder if there’s some kind of pattern here…

The national debt has always been an imaginary bugbear. When compared against rates of inflation and the increasing gross tax revenue–it’s been a while since I’ve run these numbers–the national debt amounts to something similar to a car loan. It would take about five years to pay off and that chunk of it does get paid off. In those intervening five years, the nation acquires another “car-loan” of debt proportional to the rate of inflation and the rate of increasing tax revenue.

This analysis isn’t considering the trustworthiness of the United States’ credit. That’s another conversation.

Princess Bride
Really the platonic ideal of a standalone adventure movie

I’m not sure I get the joke? Obi-Wan gives that line on the planet Kamino… what is the connection to Silicon?

I don’t really remember…

You just sound like an anti-corporation racist! \s

Ohhhhh the joke is that she’s asking google for instructions?

I have two Siamese Balinese cats and I never actually knew the practicalities of their coloring… I knew it was something about temperature but I wasn’t sure if that was a metaphorical “temperature” or actually talking about millimeters of mercury

You seem to quite fundamentally, or perhaps simply maliciously, misunderstand your sister? Or maybe I misunderstand you?

1. My cat
2. The stranger? Maybe
3. Because I know how worthless a human being my “worst enemy” is and I could justify the loss of a great many good things if they were removed from existence. If the only “loss” of removing my worst enemy is getting to keep my cat, then obviously, I’ll do his family a service and take this monkey’s paw.

Nevermind, this isn’t up-to-date but…

By Nate Schweber and Matthew Haag April 19, 2024, 1:54 p.m. ET A young man set himself on fire on Friday afternoon near the Lower Manhattan courthouse where jury selection continued in the criminal trial of former President Donald J. Trump.

The man doused himself with a liquid around 1:35 p.m. in Collect Pond Park, across the street from the courthouse. Onlookers screamed as bright orange flames engulfed the man. It was unclear what motivated his action.

People rushed over to try to extinguish the fire, but the intensity of the heat could be felt several hundred feet away.

After a few minutes, dozens of police officers rushed over and tried to smother the flames. The man, who appeared to be alive, was loaded into an ambulance and rushed away.

The man was in an area of the park that was cordoned off for supporters of Mr. Trump.

This is a developing story and will be updated.
