honestly if you're good enough at fucking to fuck your way into one of the most powerful positions on the planet, while also having some kind of built in ability to go manchurian candidate super-politician if there's a bluetooth speaker within a 10 foot radius, i think you should have it

yeah it's what i use, but if i was happy with less than perfection i'd be using volume in the first place

isn't convection electric treated as an exciting new technology over there?

the us just spent a lot of money picking a new assault rifle specifically because they wanted one that could actually penetrate kevlar now that russia and china are issuing it to their troops

well, i guess maybe china is issuing it to their troops

no thank you give me the measurement in weight so i can have a digital read on it and not have to use my disgusting human eyeball to estimate

also so that i don't have to re-wash and dry my one measuring spoon 5 times

he's here for the mystery tour

I can say with reasonably certainty that if other polls match their results, which they do, then the MOE is meaningless

no that isn't how statistics works

Their own data says otherwise.

if you look at only their own data then no, there was a statistically negligible increase

so if a net change between the two is within the margin of error, you can't state with confidence that it's an increase and not just random noise

isn't a net 2% gain within the margin of error?

"wet bulb" isn't a term that's eerie and unsettling to anyone else?

does a boat swim

Amazon hoped the unit would one day generate a profit by users spending more money somehow

anybody that's used an alexa for more than about 5 minutes should have noticed that pretty much everything it can do that's more complicated than setting a timer to tell you when your chicken nuggets are done is designed to push you into the amazon services ecosystem

Harris's hands are tied due to a contract

the us stipulates what you can do with the weapons they sell you in the contract they give you, so the us could absolutely conjure up a legal reason to terminate it

people who bemoan the genocide

oh why won't those losers stop moaning about "genocide"

 

encouraging fascism by ignoring the contract

this is a nonsensical statement

respecting the sanctity of a business deal over the sanctity of human life is one of the core tenets of fascism

i don't think dog vomit is particularly yummy and probably tastes pretty chemically but dogs tuck into that shit like it's le cordon bleu

why did you eat cardboard soaked in ammonia

sugar is a "raw chemical" 🤓

i like to think my palate is slightly different to that of a dog

they evolved to basically survive on table scraps and other food humans didn't want to eat so i'm not sure our concepts of "peak taste" will be the same

people sometimes have to stop their dogs eating their own vomit

why are you talking about contracts? how are contracts relevant to people in this thread being pro-fascism?

you'd think but this week when we spun the wheel of the-one-thing-everybody-in-the-world-universally-is-allowed-to-complain-about this was what came up

yeah and it would probably be a lot more red since the hypothetical doesn't assume that the ussr stops interfering

but probably not that much more red, because to say that is to assume that the truman doctrine worked, which it probably didn't

and when the ussr inevitably fell any relative gains would probably be lost
