Gotta question the optimism.

The Democrats, or any party for the matter, can be as ready to vote on something as they want.

The majority leader decides what makes it to the floor for a vote.

Can’t vote for bills that aren’t in front of you.

It’s a good option to have, imo. People will try to commit suicide, even without this.

They’ll fail and become a larger burden to society in a lot of cases. Or run up medical bills and exist miserably.

With this method, folks who are interested have to clear a hurdle beyond their own emotions and survival instincts.

If they’re committed to the act, this ensures a dignified end vs many terminal conditions.

Suffering near end of life can be horribly tortuous. The ability to end the suffering on your terms with dignity is a benefit to society and those suffering.

Do you feel hospice care is a bad thing? It’s one step removed from assisted suicide in many ways.

In hospice care they often give you enough drugs to end it quickly, and instruct the caregivers to NOT call emergency services.

We’re all going to die, at least we can make it somewhat civil.

Its not only rubber for car tires. There’s a lot of extras to add longevity, and change performance in certain conditions.

Plastic is mostly made from hydrocarbon chains. So are rubber polymers it seems.

Not sure if it matters if the plastic is from a tree or pumped from a really old tree.

Contrarian means against the popular opinion. The word doesn’t define motive, only the position.

I’m less optimistic on this overall. It took a long time to weaken other war driven countries.

The US has been in conflict (starting or managing) for almost its entire existence.

As noted, being less skilled doesn’t slow the murder - I fully expect that the murder will increase and be less precise.

Fair. Not sure what occurred.

A second department, no less, to improve efficiency in the government.

The GAO exists.

Are two efficiency offices more efficient than one?

I’d expect that the passengers may not have known about the emergency releases. It’s also possible the releases failed, but all of them?

The article does a poor job of mentioning that those releases are standard to the vehicle. It’s discussed elsewhere in this thread too, where they also provided the Model Y’s manual.

Ok. You said contrarian silver lining. That’s what I was responding to. I don’t see the implementation and expansion of Schedule F to have the effect you expect.

Every interpretation of contrarian says you are against the popular opinion. Expanded: You are seeing a positive to this negative against popular opinion.

It’s hard to interpret your reasoning based on history and the factors surrounding the current military itself as positive or not hateful to a large group. The group could possibly include yourself.

Brief explanation on my perspective. Your initial comment is more easily interpreted as “Cutting off one’s nose to spite one’s face”. Significant amounts of military technology has been historically developed and prototyped by external corporations. A military brain drain will only impact the leaders. As noted the strikes will be blunted and not surgical. More deaths, not less.

The third reich lasted roughly 12 years.

The nazi military tried to separate themselves from the SS historically. https://encyclopedia.ushmm.org/content/en/article/timeline-of-the-german-military-and-the-nazi-regime

IBM and other major US corporations provided products to the Nazis for quite a while.

Are you familiar with Project Paperclip?

The nazi regime discovered new scientific advances that have been used to great effect since.

So that’s where history paints a different tale.

Do you think you have enough hiding spaces to avoid a world police for ~12 years? Are you light skinned and willing to pretend, I mean profess you love jesus?

Trump has repeatedly stated that he will be a dictator on day one, even when given outs. He promised multiple times that he had voting under control in the future and his voters will not need to vote again. He’s promising major retribution against enemies and massive deportations. Does anyone expect that to be done in 1 day?

He’s named a person currently under investigation for interactions involving underage women and drugs, for Attorney General. He has trouble admitting to wrongs, what makes you think he will abdicate any power on day 2, day 239, or day 1461?

What makes you think that the military will act any differently from the first several years of the nazis or their final years?

I fear you underestimate the intensity of the heat you welcome upon us all.

I wouldn’t wish this result on anyone.

This will set all of humanity back. Do you think we all deserve to marry 9 year old girls as property?

What’s your logic for holding this hate?

Do you want people to say “screw you as well”?

Yeah. So the ones who don’t fall in line will get kicked out. The military is a place about compliance. There are ways to segment the rules and compartmentalize for folks like that.

History seems to suggest a slightly different story for this.

Once given the command; people will mostly fall in line, almost fully once consequences get serious.

There doesn’t need to be massive brilliant strategists to cause massive damage and maximum death. Minimizing death and surgical strikes are where skill and intelligence are needed.

I fear you underestimate the size and effectiveness of the technology the US military has been amassing on the taxpayer dime.

A mostly crippled russian military in Ukraine is still steamrolling and pushing people around blusteringly.

Yet they struck Kyiv, ~2 hours ago as of this post, to limited effect.

https://www.reuters.com/world/europe/blasts-heard-ukraines-kyiv-reuters-witnesses-report-2024-11-13/

putin’s country has arguably experienced a massive ‘brain drain’.

So in effect, your opinion seems to be… “I think this will weaken the US military capability.”; "I prefer more suffering to less suffering because screw other people, even innocents. "

You’re putting yourself in the same intellectual bucket as those who wish ill upon you.

What are you in favor of sadist?

the only good thing to come out of this.

Are you hoping for a situation that involves maximum death? The guy who promised retaliation against voters, and elected officials - is trying to remove all the stops that has kept the military in check. This doesn’t end the drone strikes, mid-east oil grab deals, arms deals, or world policing for most countries.

It turns the police and military into a group under his control, without people present to stop his ridiculous impulses.

As a guy who isn’t on their lists for appearances, I’m slightly puzzled.

Please explain, how you think that a more murderous and ideologically aligned military will be good for you or anyone.

There are lots of intelligent strategists in the group you seem to write off.

There’s every chance you’ll be on their list of targets.

The DNC and RNC are 527 non profit companies.

In a country where money == speech and corporations are allowed to use their freedom to speak freely.

They’re actively supporting the largest voices in the room, corporations.

The primaries that the winning candidate refused to participate in? Check your fairness a little closer.

The turd has been given special treatment at every turn.

Calling for a cease fire is definitely the same as what you wrote. /s

Rewriting history isn’t supposed to be on the schedule for freedom loving folks.

Someone else assembled this reference for those ignorant of the news.

they can do a lot of damage before things take their course.

That’s what I’m concerned about.

The supreme court and Congress are basically the only things to slow him down. They both did his bidding as a citizen.

What makes you think they’ll resist meaningfully with the mandate of the people behind him?

Maybe you missed the statements calling for a cease fire.

There are methods to use libraries to click that or completely silence it. If a user can escalate so can code that is run in their user space.

One example they claim to be a non issue, in link below. I searched “rce bypass windows uac”… I found lot of discussion on it, even some git repos.

https://www.darkreading.com/vulnerabilities-threats/exploit-chain-windows-uac-bypass

If successful, they’re going to purge the military of non loyalists who believe the constitution is more than a doormat. The goal is to violate posse comitatus it seems.

I wouldn’t cheer this on.

You’re welcome to hold an opinion. I could have believed you were ill informed and not actively acting in bad faith.

You continued responding after this comment was posted illustrating how you were actively lying and trying to subvert the facts.

https://midwest.social/post/19205574/13516874

It’s very clear from those paying attention she did take a different position from the same as Trump.

Stop lying.

Didn’t mean to jinx you. 😂
