But that's never been the way it works. Your payment finances the government budget, one of whose functions is to pay out social security money to current retirees. If you set up the income tax in such a regressive way, there will not be enough money to pay social security, which is of course what Republicans want so that they can have another excuse to cut the program entirely.

This is called a regressive tax. The Republican party should embrace the word regression. Their followers are too stupid to understand its meaning anyway.

Look to Hungary for advice. We're trying to systematically clean out every trace of the old regime. It's not easy and probably won't be perfect but people are being arrested.

So if each planet has 10 billion people that's 40 million senators. That room was big but I'm not sure it was that big. And also that's one Jedi for every 40 trillion people? What good would that do even in the best case scenario?

This is such a stupid poll question. As if democracy ever existed in the United States.

The polite thing to do in this instance is to get on her level by pounding your own set of shots.

A person in a banana suit is basically a prerequisite of any ska show. We used to have inter-punk solidarity; these guys must have not gotten the memo.

I use Excel to calculate the ages of the oldest rocks in the Solar System. If I was using it to find accounting loopholes for a private equity firm, I'd probably kill myself.

Ted's problem is that he equates the tools and the processes of post-industrial society with its people. Just because the possibility exists for these surrogate activities to replace meaningful work doesn't mean we all succumb automatically.

Clearly they haven't been to Prague.

 

Somebody I'm sure has already said this, but the Turing test assumed AIs would need to prove their intelligence by appearing human in their speech, but now the problem is the opposite, that humans will have to somehow prove that they are not LLMs when they type anything on the internet.

 

Why are there several overlapping coats of paint that are peeling off? I thought this was the new and flashy Boeing plane? The airline was Scoot.

 

I have no idea how the Fediverse works. I use Sync just like I did for Reddit because it's simple. Is there anything I can do to help?
