Elon Musk would be on Kamala Harris’ cabinet, amongst a coalition of rivals. Because the most important thing to do with power is give it to the people you say are ideologically opposed to you. This is why they’re throwing the election to Trump as the most efficient application of this methodology
They’re more than willing to put pressure on the left leaning members, and work against their reelection. They just won’t do it to anyone who’s pushing for neoliberalism or for achieving anything they use to get elected. Manchin basically ran the party for a while and now he’s a republican.
Smarts don’t make you an expert on climate dynamics, and I don’t trust some guy on Twitter to be a good judge of “smart”. The phrasing is pretty telling though “smart people I know”, vs “people smarter than me” means he’s including himself among the “smart people” pushing for this.
So heavily propagandized to love capitalism that people keep recognizing it’s the problem then try to resolve that dissonance by making up a specific type of capitalism that’s bad, rather than the whole.
Hey don’t forget about the various long term effects of Covid infection we still don’t fully understand! Who cares if everyone contracts a flu that causes brain damage, they don’t need those brains to work!
There's a nail salon in the strip mall with the grocery store I go to that has usually has a Cybertruck parked outside. No branding decals, but I'm sure it ain't one of the nail techs driving that thing.
do you think the bulge size was specified in the prompt
well given the pier was used to commit perfidy they may prefer people forget it.
Yeah. I doubt most people would turn down a direct sequel, but anyone aware of the drama around ZA/UM and DE is probably not expecting anything more than some spiritual successors.
ill give you credit for having at least read some of the silmarillion (or maybe watched that amazon show? do they cover that?), but know this is done begrudgingly and I do not condone this behavior
i doubt any of them have plans or means to secure IP rights to DE or its setting, so I don't think you have worry about any direct sequels.
Palantir. Literally an evil wizard orb.
I don’t understand. He’s a high ranking politician, why isn’t he a cowardly worm who only pays lip service to ideals? Is he at least treating his constituents like ungrateful children?
Be mean to them instead. The only language they understand is smug superiority and condescension.
The laws are working as intended. They’re meant to discourage trans people from participating in anything, not address some kind of biological inequity. Their laws and behaviors being hypocritical is not a bug, it’s a feature.

I helped with airlifts in Afghanistan, aid to Ukraine, and building roads in Rwanda. None of it prepared me for the challenges of Gaza.
>I have organized airlifts of women legislators, judges, and journalists out of Afghanistan as Kabul fell; delivered ongoing aid to Ukrainian front-line villages during Russia’s invasion; worked on efforts to build runways, roads, and highways to deliver aid to Rwandan refugees after the genocide; and delivered aid shipments to enclaves besieged and under attack by the Syrian army. > >None of it prepared me for the challenges of trying to bring a few trucks of food and medicine per week into the Gaza Strip. > >It’s easy to point the finger at Israel, the country that is implementing the blockade of Gaza’s 2.3 million residents, half of whom are children. Yet trying to work the issue from every angle on a daily basis to get urgent medical and food aid in, I’ve come to the conclusion that President Joe Biden, for whom I hosted fundraisers and worked to elect in 2020, has signed on to Israel’s end goal of the ethnic cleansing of Palestinians in Gaza.

They’re mad that you don’t have to write a tabletop character backstory to register at those instances.
