SpaceX is Shotwell's company, and she's way more capable of driving success than the fuckstick who does their PR. It's difficult to dismiss the objectively astounding leaps in technical progress that the engineers at SpaceX have achieved.

Musk could take a long walk off a short bridge and it wouldn't affect SpaceX's operations at all.

There's a subtext that you guys are missing. The devil wins whether he says Johnny won or lost.

  • If the devil wins, he gets Johnny's soul per the terms of the bet.
  • If Johnny wins, the devil gets Johnny's soul because he's committing multiple deadly sins purely by boasting and challenging the devil for a golden fiddle: pride, greed, vanity.

If he deems Johnny the winner, Johnny is less likely to challenge the decision, and he's also more likely to continue committing the sins of pride and vanity (by boasting of his victory over the Devil Himself).

Johnny's only chance to avoid his fate (per most strains of the Christian faith) is to acknowledge and repent/confess/absolve his sins by seeking divine mercy. The devil knows this is unlikely.

Johnny lost as soon as he uttered his first line.

What's worse is the fact that 85% of those exorbitant bills are either substantial overcharging to game the insurance system, or costs associated with paying entire departments of people at the provider whose job is to figure out how to get insurance to pay them for procedures.

Our oppressive healthcare costs are entirely the fault of the private insurance industry, and the corrupt politicians who accept bribes to keep it that way.

It's a diagram of states where certain rights are being suppressed.

Top circle is abortion, bottom left is voting, bottom right is LGBTQ+.

One of the things Harris really has going for her is the fact that she would absolutely demolish Trump in a debate. She would not let him off the hook for his lies and would be able to counter his BS with reality.

Which is why Trump will never agree to debate her.

If Harris does become first name on the ticket, they better put Jesus Himself Christ as her running mate.

API access was only half the problem. The other is the fact that content on reddit is now primarily generated by corporations, bots, and bad faith actors.

Going there for specific threads (e.g. help posts in programming subs) seems okay-ish, but scrolling the front page is a doomed endeavor at this point... not much different from Facebook or Instagram.
