I’d think the issue is more going to fraud, and likeness rights in states that have the relevant laws.

Claiming someone is working for you when they’re not isn’t just a copyright issue.

Assuming the technology is ever viable, it's at the point where self driving vehicles cause significantly fewer accidents than human drivers. Absolute liability prevents that.

Safe is a relative thing.

I’m sort of assuming there’s a scheme to use the draft to fill out ICE ranks.

Now figure out how much of that $300 went to increased healthcare costs.

On the plus side, if he’s got a list that you’re at the bottom of, you’re basically immortal. He’ll never finish it.

Shepherd’s crown was very clearly his goodbye, and I think it would have read differently even if the embuggerance had been a purely physical thing. But yeah, UA was were they lost the snappiness.

Yes? All sorts of government programs are having service problems. From SSA to life saving grants, to passport issuance, to, well, everything.

I believe the standard approach is to engrave "Trump" on something cheap and vaugely goldish and sell it at a 500% markup.

Counter-counterpoint. The range of doctrinal difference is at least as great in Judaism. The major difference is they (to a large extent) don’t split off entirely new denominations over whether or not “and the son” is heresy.

The entire point of that joke is the hostility over minor differences.

The administration’s own numbers show something like 14% of those the kidnap have a criminal record. It’s absurdly low. And that’s just the ones they deport. It doesn’t include all the ones they hold for weeks or months before releasing.

Maxim 29. We can use him as long he’s pointed in the right direction. Doesn’t make him ours.

The one who paid the tariff, which is usually the shipping company that receives it in the US. (FedEx, UPS, etc). These companies then billed the end customer. Any bets on whether the customers will see a refund?

Oak island pretty much proved that if people believe there are death traps there, they’re just going to assume whatever it’s protecting is more valuable. I’m not convinced there is a non-representational way to produce a long term warning.

Heck, I'm excited about machine learning type "AI" as well, when applied to things where a human makes the final call. Drug candidate development, preliminary medical imaging screening, etc.

Not GenAI lying plagarism machines.

That they're stopping for the moment? Yes. That they won't go right back to it the moment the furor dies down? Less so.
