She's not wrong. At least half the country is dumb as rocks and a good proportion is racist and generally bigoted. America has eroded its international standing to an unprecedented low.

We've created an environment where our option is a binary drink, not drink. Non drinkers are treated with suspicion. People who use other drugs are stigmatised. Little wonder sober socialising is problematic.

What about the moose knuckle?

You cannot be cirrhosis with that amount of vodka lovers.

I thought Dubai was trying to create tourist resorts? Can't think of a worse advert. These people are essentially cave dwelling desert nomads from the bronze age who no one would have heard of if not for our oil addiction. Another failed former colony of the British.

This fact alone is so awesome about America. To be fair, I know very little about the UK government. I keep my voting strategy simple: whoever is proposing to get rid of first past the post closely followed by whoever is proposing more bicycle infrastructure. Failing that, whoever I think is going to lose.

There are tools that help you decide how to vote. Waiting until the day comes and searching Joe Biden is hilarious.

It's a pity we often cannot maintain our machines, not because we don't want to, the OEM have made them impossible to modify or repair. Anything with software in it is becoming an absolute nightmare.

That sounds scary AF. Props to you for maintaining presence of mind and avoiding a catastrophic accident. I heard similar runaway vehicle stories from Ford owners when electronic throttle bodies were first introduced.

The self is synonymous with experience. It's why the self is simultaneously a substantial entity and completely without substance. We remember what it felt like to be ten years old and yet every single cell that generated that sensation has long since been replaced by adulthood. People who receive traumatic brain injuries can become strangers to their family and even themselves. The self is a contrivance and an emergent property of a neural network. Ever changing, elusive and yet reassuringly familiar.

The democrats need to figure out a new way to sell corporate kleptocracy to poor people.

How about the zero emission vehicles that are already within our grasp like trains and bicycles? The solution is not to continue pushing 2t single occupant vehicles around, it's completely unsustainable and doesn't address the issue of generating the vast amount of energy that it entails. You will never escape F =ma, we've known this for 500 years.

We cannot ever trust the things business people say. Their stock and trade is lies. Why are we letting our society be dominated by these psychos?
