Comment Re:I would add a charge of blackmailing a judge. (Score 0) 42

So, so quickly you people turn your coats and become bootlickers. "OBEY!" Just like the art of Shepard Fairey told you to. After constantly accusing others of the same. Well, at least we know why that is now: psychological projection. Accusing The Other of what The Self is guilty of is a time-proven method of self-treatment of mental illness such as cognitive dissonance.

I'd see a professional, though. Projection is no cure, it just treats symptoms.

Why aren't you on the side that's defying the government? Ask yourself that. Then consider who the fascist is here.

Anti-intellectual? The intellectuals are the ones telling us men can be pregnant. And after intellectuals lied and had us banned for saying a lab-related incident involving gain-of-function research is the most likely origin of COVID-19. We lost so many people, banned for life. Questioning science is how you do science, but intellectuals would have none of it and silenced us.

Who said anything about that? We just want the fascists hunted down and thrown into their own prisons right alongside the Black men they sentenced there. And then hopefully get raped in their cells. I will never stop finding white men raped in prison funny. Because it is always in context. They spend their days raping Blacks metaphorically and yet now it's happening literally. That is social justice. And if you don't believe it, let's have all the Blacks vote on it, withOUT your unwelcome participation.

China is the nation you're looking for. Their system permanently locks out the stupids from government. Only smart people are allowed to join the CPC. You have to have good grades in school and do a lot of extra work while your classmates are out partying. They are all rationalist atheists. If you ever wanted a government of scientists, the CPC is what you want. Xi Jinping is a chemical engineer.

Why do you think the US is focusing such intense propaganda on them? Why is it wrong for them to "genocide" the Uighurs( by forcing them to eat pork, showing them how their holy book is bullshit and teaching them job skills so they can find jobs instead of chase people around train stations with machetes hacking them(as happened in China).

Moreover, during China's own J6 riot, they had the courage to callout the A-10sandturn the rioters into pink mist. Our own government was cowardly and turned the reins of power over to the coup leader, who is systematically wrecking the entire country.

You're in favor of China and the CPC, though you probably did not know it.

It's not a police state generated list. The revolutionaries who tried to overthrow our democracy on J6 are bad actors and this was generated by themselves, not any boot licking. Likewise with the htransphobes who tried to take over school boards to implement their backwards vision of religious inspired hatred, Otherization and heteronormativity. They outed themselves, DHS were merely stenographers. Heck, lots of orgs keep lists of hate actors. ADL, Hope Not Hate, and many more. That's not bootlicking, it's self-defense. We all have to band together if we're going to beat this. Even if it means letting DHS do some of the dirty work. They have the kind of muscle DSA can only cream of.

You've all had artificial banana flavoring. In candies and other sweets. You know how it barely tastes like bananas at all, it's super sweet and rich, like how other candy flavors are only parodies of the flavors they imitate.

Artificial banana flavor is what the Gros Michel banana tasted like. That's why it tastes like it does, they were imitating Big Mike. By contrast, the Cavendish is bland, mushy and flavorless. We won't miss the banana when it's gone. I The Cavendish was living on borrowed time since it was made due to the pure clone nature. t's basically pure sugar anyway. Good for pregnant women at least, but that's about it.

1. Energy requirements to keep a car sized object airborne is totally handleable. I mean, just about every commercial jet is a lot bigger than a car.
2. Noise pollution - can be handled

The real problems is, as you mentioned, training, as you'd need a pilot's license for it, and that development has continued for both planes and cars - such that a hybrid between the two is going to be very lousy at both. It's not going to be crash resistant like a car, nor fly as well as a dedicated plane. The engineering for that is too much at odds with each other.

That said, have you seen the development stuff for drone taxis? Basically, there are places looking to sell flying taxi services using upscaled quadcopters.

We actually passed break even a number of years ago, so "never going to get more out than you put in" is already proven false.

Now we need sustainability, and a much better than break-even such that we can generate more electricity, enough to justify the plant.

I'm still not convinced that it wouldn't end up being like the scifi back in the '50s or so where the power plant ended up being on Antarctica and shipping power to the entire world because, well, it's a system that scales UP well, down not so much, so the practical plant design ended up being darn near terawatts.

The DHS watchlist is how we keep tabs on the far right and keep them from overthrowing our government. They already tried on J6 and every one of them is on either a watchlist or a no-fly list.

It's not fascism, it's fighting fascism. This DHS action happened under Biden. Moreover the transphobes who rushed into school board meetings trying to implement their Christian homophobic agenda also got put on the domestic terrorist watchlist.

How is it bootlicking to want the far right put into the same prisons they filled with Black people?

Prison is perhaps the *only* setting on Earth where a heterosexual white male actually feels uncomfortable, powerless, and maybe even threatened. And *that*, my friend, is social justice.

They just joined the Trumpian far right. Fuck 'em. Unions were dropped by the Democrats way back in the 1990s for solid reasons. Racist xenophobe patriotic basket of deplorables.

Trump is pro-union, xenophobic and patriotic too. Today, open display of such symbols of the AmeriKKKan flag, Gadsden flag, Gonzales flag(Come and Take it from the Texas Revolution) and the Betsy Ross flag are all tagged as symbols of domestic terrorists by DHS. If not domestic terrorists, then terrorist adjacent, much like the ISIS single finger salute.

Trump lied to them about jobs. They chose the lie. Harris told them the truth. And they hated her for it. Let's give the union working class whatever they want. In the hope they choke on it. These are not your friends.

What the fuck? You pricks have been openly rooting for the destruction of our country for decades. You utterly despise us, just like Europe and the rest of the world. And neither a word is gratitude or respect. And now your number one dream is finally coming true and you don't like it? You people are literally unpleasable. Trump is right to ignore you entirely and do what's best for AmeriKKKa. Why aren't you cheering? Jim Crow. slavery. The Tuskegee Syphilis Experiment. racism. Xenophobia. AmeriKKKa is everything you hate. The end of it can only be good
