I just think the idea that we're closer to WW3 now than at any point during the Cold War to be ridiculous.

And I'm sure we'll get great results from a bunch of AI metaphorically shitting in each others mouths.

Biden deported just as many people as Trump did in his first term, this conservative narrative that the Democrats are solely responsible for our current problems is ridiculous when this is a problem that has been growing unaddressed for decades under both Republican and Democratic administrations. What needs to happen is tightening things up on the employer end by making e-verify mandatory and fixing its weaknesses as well as going after those breaking the law by knowingly hiring illegal aliens. This would be massively cheaper, more effective, and morally superior to terrorizing our cities.

Illegal aliens come here for work, that we only hear about how evil they are for coming here illegally but hear nothing about all of the Americans who knowingly give them motivation for coming here by hiring them alone shows how completely unserious this administration is in actually trying to solve our illegal immigrant problem.

Ours and pretty much every other government heavily regulates nuclear because of the potential for absolutely catastrophic failures. That this creates higher expenses is merely a by-product.

What you're saying makes it sound like the only reason these regulations exist is to make nuclear expensive.

I think the distinction between your two instances here is one can choose whether to drive a Tesla or not. That's not to say I like either form of tracking though.

If conservatives actually wanted to end illegal immigration they'd be engaging in immigration reform; changing the rules and laws that got us to this problem point. That's never been what Trump has advocated for though, it's all spectacle to create the illusion of solving the problem while they get to keep their wedge issue and keep our subclass of noncitizen workers to enrich their wealthy donors.

Yes they were. Here's your post from before

"a very popular bakery in a neighborhood i lived in some years back used to have a bus stop at the door which was removed because drivers complained about not being to stop / drop off at the corner.
the closest stop is now 200 feet away. today we woke up to about 1 foot of snow which is challenging even for those who are not elderly nor disabled"

No mention of the high density of retirement communities near said bakery anywhere.

"They blew it to pieces by firing Gina Carano,"

I feel my take on what you said was perfectly accurate. You're claiming her firing ruined the show and I think that's completely absurd even after you expand on the idea in the post I'm replying to.

You called yourself dumb so it's hardly an attack. I'm just running with what you said.

Meanwhile I very clearly had a point to make, people blaming everyone else for being the problem are likely too dim or full of themselves to grasp that they are the problem.

Gotta love it when dumb people insist it's everyone else who's the problem.

Please, very few on the left even know what critical race theory is now let alone knew of it before conservatives seized on it as a buzzword they could capitalize on. It's crazy the alternate reality some conservatives try to paint

Carano was good in the show but she was hardly the linchpin keeping the show together.

I think youve forgotten how bad Episode 1 was.

Same! I have a few friends that haven't watched Andor and when I mentioned my same opinion as yours (it's the best Star Wars production ever made) I got some very doubtful looks. After decades of movies and shows that almost entirely ranged from mediocre to crap a lot of people just plain won't believe the show is a truly excellent production.

I've only ever heard the "why would anyone want to live in a city" bit. I've never heard it the other way around as most city dwellers enjoy trips to the country and don't mind the burbs even they're boring.
