Paranoia (to a healthy degree) is good for information security professionals but drives literally everyone else crazy. I wish people would adopt more of that, though. Maybe we'd see fewer data breaches...

Yeah, Bush did jack shit while his minions ruined everything. The show may be better this time but that doesn't mean it won't be destructive. Still, we can hope.

Love that one. "Evidence disagrees with our theories? Don't worry, we have a theory for that! It's actually the evidence that's wrong."

Generally, you shouldn't brag that your theories are unfalsifiable.

Sounds also like it's trying to suck Musk off. "Look at how much money he has! That's so important! It's a lot more than Trump has!"

I had a very similar experience. Read about it. Mined a couple coins just to try it. Said "Well that'll never go anywhere". I think i still had them years later but by the time i remembered i couldn't find where the wallet ended to. I think it's gone, now.

Let's not forget, on that note: Biden picking him was bad but so was Obama nominating him to the SCOTUS to begin with. Replacement for Scalia or not, we see what that led to. Garland getting on the Court wouldn't really be making a difference there either.

I mean, getting rid of Franken was reasonable. Refusing to challenge the Republican creeps has... well... resulted in a government of mostly creeps and that's not where i want to be. (Admittedly that specific piece is not specifically the Democratic Party's fault, though they could have done more. Not using the moral leverage they got by booting Franken was an unforced error.)

I'm glad to see i've been pronouncing it right all these years.

The Dems don't even play by the rules. They play by some made up rules that exist only in their heads and boil down to "you're not allowed to oppose the Republicans in any way that matters". There's tons of legal and ethical stuff Biden could have done in the last four years and here we are, sitting on our asses in the sinking ship, waiting for the water to rush in and drown us all.

When you control all the conversation normal people see and get to define all the terms then you can say any old lie and nobody can challenge you.
