If you remember, Obama let ISIS grow into a major caliphate before doing anything. I believe he did this, because he didn't want to be seen as going back into Iraq. He let politics make his decisions rather than sound judgement. Many others were asking him to get involved much sooner.

I'm a big fan of Daryl Davis and what he has done. I don't think beating people into submission is working. Dialogue is more persuasive. I think the silencing tactic only creates more mass shooters.

I consider most hate speech part of free speech. I don't believe you beat it by silencing it. I believe you beat hate speech by confronting it and explaining why it's illogical. I know many European governments have banned it, but I really think this is a slippery slope that shouldn't be crossed.

Not publicly. I don't believe Obama was ever against it. He expressed views in favor of it in 1996. I think he was a coward on the issue out of pragmatism (even though I doubt it would have cost him the election in 2008 as views were moderating then). My two biggest criticisms of Obama were this...

I would say that Biden has always been a mainstream Democrat (never one of the most conservative or liberal). He's always been seen as favorable to the unions. Remember what state Biden was from, DE. That's where all the credit card companies are and where so many corporations are incorporated...

He publicly came out for it before Obama did. It then forced Obama to take a side and he joined him.

I think if I were to run Twitter I would do the following: 1. Delete posts that break criminal law such as calling for violence/making threats, suspend those accounts, and notify law enforcement 2. Note posts containing libel (status in the courts and provide details of those outcomes) I would...

Obama had 60 Democrats with him in the Senate. What could have any progressive accomplished given the reality of a 50-50 Senate where two senators in his party refused to abolish the filibuster? Try to do what the Peru president did? For the record, when it comes to civil rights, Biden was ahead...

Looks like the graphics card has gotten better since then. Also 64GB which might be overkill, but it’ll make me comfortable with all the stuff I simultaneously run. Don’t know about the noise. I called MSI and they said should run 2 external monitors and the laptop monitor at 4k no problem.

Thinking about this laptop...

This. This. In my opinion, real leaders don't hide behind the phrase "private matters" to something as simple as this question. They say what they did and explain why they did it. If they feel like they made a mistake, they admit it. Also, they don't pretend like they worship Trump in their...

DeSantis is a phony and a political pansy. Horribly uncharismatic by presidential standards as well. There's a good chance Trump would pick him apart on a debate stage, because Trump isn't afraid to say anything. That said, Biden is a very vulnerable incumbent. He's 82 and has lost some marbles...

I'm not sure I've looked at a magazine since I got my first smartphone.

I didn't fall into any trap, just speculating who I thought it would be lol. Apparently, I missed that news, because quite honestly, I don't really care about who's "Time Person of the Year".

The point is that price gouging is nothing new. Monopolistic pricing tactics didn't begin in 2022 so to act like this is a main culprit in inflation is absurd. Companies have always set their prices based on what they feel is best for their company's profits (some are more short-term thinking...

My guess is it will be Zelensky. The other option is Putin (since it's about impact good or bad), but they prefer to go positive over negative if there's an option to do so. I doubt they do something stupid like say it's "you" or "the protester" again.

The 15.6'' 4ks are like $240 on Amazon while the 17.3'' 4ks are $560. I would imagine the 17.3'' monitors will come down quite a bit in time as they're only 22% larger. It would be nice to have a 17.3'' laptop with 2 17'' portable monitors.

Not saying it's false, but "facts" that come "straight from SBF's mouth" are something to take with immense skepticism.

I currently have a pretty nice office setup with 2 49'' Samsungs plus 2 1080p monitors on a Falcon (Intel i9-10900X with 10 cores + 64 GB ram). However, I'm looking for a good road warrior setup with the maximum pixels. Ideally I would have a 4k laptop with two additional 4k monitors giving me a...

I'm sure they did the Pledge in school. They just never said it to me and I doubt they ever said it on their own. I don't currently pledge allegiance to any country. There's really no reason for me to do so. If I became President then I would pledge to do my best for America. I do like America...
