An environmental posadist. Not a stance I’ve normally seen. Imo, if nothing came out of deep water horizon, there’s no oil accident big enough to matter.

Transocean received an early partial insurance settlement for total loss of the Deepwater Horizon of US$401 million about 5 May 2010.[60] Financial analysts noted that the insurance recovery was likely to be more than the value of the rig (although not necessarily its replacement value) and any liabilities – the latter estimated at as much as US$200 million.

Most recently, other than Trump, George HW Bush lost the election while incumbent. Prior to that it was Jimmy Carter.

The next most recent person to win the election but lose the popular vote was George W Bush, prior to that is was Harrison back in 1888.

(please attend to primaries next time…)

So… should I have voted for Marianne Williamson or Dean Phillips, keeping in mind Dean Phillips formally withdrew from the race before my state’s primary, and Marianne Williamson couldn’t have won if she had sweeped every state after and including mine?

I think the problem is mostly that the US system of elections is turbo mega fucked.

For those curious: Gothic 1.

I’ve never heard of it before and it doesn’t look like my type of game. Anyone played it?

I am sorryI am sorryI am sorryI…

You may already know this, but Xonotic was forked from Nexiuz after the original code owner sold the GPLed code to some publisher to make a for pay game.

1001st, technically

You give me hope.

Not to be that guy, because James Madison was a fine writer, and I don’t think you meant this, but it kinda comes off as you saying that just because someone is prolific means that they are a good writer, which is obviously not true.

Bollywood maybe?

If this is what it takes to get copyright reform, just granting tech companies unlimited power to hoover up whatever they want and put it in their models, it’s not going to be the egalitarian sort of copyright reform that we need. Instead, we will just getting a carve out just for this, which is ridiculous.

There are small creators who do need at least some sort of copyright control, because ultimately people should be paid for the work they do. Artists who work on commission are the people in the direct firing line of generative AI, both in commissions and in their day jobs. This will harm them more than any particular company. I don’t think models will suffer if they can only include works in the public domain, if the public domain starts in 2003, but that’s not the kind of copyright protection that Amazon, Google, Facebook, etc. want, and that’s not what they’re going to ask for.

Correction, it is two tacos. One flipped upside down and rotated 90 degrees and placed on top of the other.

Dang, way to both sides genocide done by an apartheid state. Very centrist. Let the cooler heads prevail.

Imo, pretty much all third party candidates are doomed to lose, no matter who they are, unless they have explicit backing of one of the two major parties.

The best thing to do is change the rules before you try to play by them. This means attacking the 2 party system by the actual weak link: the first past the post voting system. Run on and vote in candidates to the two parties who vow to dismantle it. Elections are run by the locally, so we can do this state by state, city by city. This is achievable and has already started in some cities.

Until you get a night that was supposed to be snow but instead was freezing rain, and now instead of just ice hard frozen onto your windshield you have ice and a towel, which is infinitely more horrible?

The word “incel” colloquially covers quite a bit more territory than its acronym expansion implies, much like MAGA means quite a bit more than just a collective of individuals who want to see America succeed. But of course you know this, so why exactly are you asking?

Sure, I’d give you dry toast for $1.
