Why the fact that he was able to connect to their endpoint wasn’t sufficient to indicate to them that the Internet connection was not the issue I do not know.

L1 isn’t there to think, they’re there to read from their script.

Perry killed himself

Where could they have possibly gotten the idea that government can’t be trusted

Strawmen aren’t typically 1:1 comparisons.

I can further confirm this is the case on the Isle of Man, Jersey, Gurnsey, and Gibralter, all of which are in Europe.

So by your logic, I can say, accurately, ‘europeans don’t require automobile safety inspections’.

The North American brain cannot comprehend.

The European brain can not comprehend.

…that north America is a big continent with multiple countries and dozens of states, and many of these states do indeed require safety inspections.

You’re not alone. I’ve seen plenty of Europeans having trouble comprehending that.

They fought it. I’m sure they’d prefer if there were no environmental or gas efficiency regulations at all. And when the laws passed anyway they found loopholes. The laws were written by well meaning but naive politicians, none of whom really understood the problems they were trying to address.

The real reason is he thinks he’d look really pretty in a gown. He’s not a cross dresser, he just wants all the attention all the time.

Only drive cars made before Onstar and similar systems were added in the early 90s.

You said it yourself. While I understand the thought behind “let’s not make it easy for them”, it’s going to be easy for them no matter what you drive. Keeping a 40+ year old car on the road is going to be prohibitively expensive for most people. Also, OnStar systems from that far back will be based on radio infrastructure that doesn’t even exist anymore. Even 3g towers are rare these days and that wasn’t launched until the 2000s.

For them, Trump is still infinitely better than an Obama Presidency.

It’s not even like Obama was good, either. We went from a bag of manure to wet shit crawling with maggots.

I see this constantly on the internet. “Some backwater Podunk state puts the 10 commandments in classrooms” becomes “The US puts the 10 commandments in classrooms”. It’s like people don’t understand how this country is architected.

Flush with cash from the military industrial complex, repurposing factories built for the war, and with its largest economic rivals lying in ruin. Yes.

I disagree. Fewer rapists is an improvement. Getting rid of rapists isn’t the moral high ground, it’s a necessary moral imperative. Id rather have one party that acts like Republicans than two.

You joke but there’s at least one person in this thread that seems to be seriously suggesting that

He raped someone. Are you saying we should let him continue on as if nothing happened in order to own the Republicans?

I didn’t know anything about the production company but now that you’ve told me, yeah, that tracks.

The fact that they were willing to hire this guy after what he did is the first red flag

( & if they forgot to put spyware into their app this time, that doesn’t mean it won’t come in in an update. )

Do you honestly believe the federal government needs people to install the official Whitehouse app in order to track their location?

If so, lol.

several paragraphs of self righteous soapboxing based on your presumptions about my level of political engagement

If you want to … cry about it

Lol.

If you’re not nihilistic about the system at this point you’re either a Pollyanna level of naive or nowhere near as informed as you think you are. Whichever it is, wishing that everyone voted exactly the same way you do isn’t going to change anything, no matter how passionately you shout into the echo chamber about it.
