If they really could without depending on international slave labor then yes. I would love to have a robot that takes care of basic household needs.

Did you want to debate and make arguments or just agree to disagree? I’m up for either.

Capitalism, cars, and fossil fuels are what are killing people. And our own government.

Porn is so far from a problem next to Mike Johnson starving 40 million people to protect the pedofile and convicted felon squatting in the Whitehouse.

Yes and no specific dates and times do but you still remember all the parts of the journey.

Mine are 9 and 11 now so my timeline may be off…

Cry it out and if that does not work after a few days consult your pediatrician about melatonin.

Oldest did cry it out in a few days and was good. Youngest kept us up for two years until we started melatonin.

My Framework 13 and my Minisforum V3 both sleep correctly. The only issues I run into are with waking and sleeping BEFORE i remove them from my USB-C doc’s and switch from work to home or home to work. And even then its just slow to figure out what to do at worst.

Fuck you Mike Johnson, fuck you John Roberts, fuck you Stephen Miller.

I can better understand the modern MAGA/Conservative mind frame than I can some of the stuff on LML. Their Memes make no sense, and any attempt to be like, “yeah both bad” turns into a weird ad hominem attacks and denial of any argument.

Have you read any of the other comments he posted? Lots of nuance in it and I dont get the sense at all that he wants to kill brown people, that he is still proud of it, or that he was a Nazi. He seems to take great offense at the fascist leaning of our current leadership and the way in which they assume agreement and use the military.

But sure, keep attacking me rather than offering discussion, I want to have an actual debate on the content, not on the editorial.

I try so hard to understand what the general political ideals L.ML holds and I cannot figure it out, it seems logically inconsistent at best.

I did watch the video, I dont agree with the arguments, I dont find what little evidence presented as convincing, and it seems like demonizing Platner is doing the work of the Republicans, billionaires, and Nazis for them.

As for your link, yeah I dont like the content of what was written, but I also dont take issue with people who evolve or adjust their beliefs over time. 10 years ago me, probably said some stupid shit too, 20 years ago me definitely did.

I have been working hard to take a real turn on patriarchy and understanding the systemic violence women live under for the last year and it will take me several more to fully embrace it. So even 5 years ago me probably said some deplorable shit about women and thought I was being a feminist.

Amplify the things that are good, and remember that the US has a very flawed political system. Our choices are looking like Platner, Mills, or Collins. Of the 3, Platner is at least saying that he will be progressive change. I can just hope that he is, and that if not the people of Maine hold him to account.

Are you going to even offer discussion or is that the best I’m going to get?

Based on what evidence? My measured responses to several of the points made by BadEmpanada?

He offers strong statements without evidence and says quote “Trust me he knew” Sorry but I dont trust anyone offering commentary on journalism. He is a commentator commenting on other commentators.

Yes and most of the source videos. The reality is that only people in Maine get to decide if he is fit to represent them.

Also a good progressive updates their positions when presented with more and better information.

I dont know how many tattoos you have, but in my experience when you get a dumb drunk tattoo you only remove or cover it when there is opportunity or reason to. Most of the time you keep it as a reminder to a point in your life. So yes I can totally see someone from a rural state joining the military, getting a bad ass looking tattoo with his buddies. Then discovering its history, deciding not to do anything about it because the meaning for him is tied to his experience and friendships.

Keep in mind that the US has a massively flawed education system, and Platner served in the military and did not have the prerequisite information to make an informed decision around the tattoo.

I would have been in the same boat and I came from a rural state but with an exceptional education and from a highly educated family. He is not a perfect man, from a State that is not perfect, with an education that is not perfect, and some history that is not perfect.

Most importantly is that he is NOT calling for Nazi shit, he is calling out the genocide in Palestine for what it is, he is standing on the side of the disenfranchised who have been lied to by the political establishment by both Democrats and Republicans. He is so far the best chance Maine has to unseat an incumbent Republican who has ACTIVELY harmed their own constituency and the people of the US, who has actively assisted in sponsoring genocide and unchecked imperialism.

So meaning to or not, this video is doing the work of the establishment and billionaires by promoting misinformation along with a narrow perspective of a flawed system offering a flawed choice.

I am not saying Blue no matter who, I am saying at least this guy does not want people disappeared, tortured, and murdered.

One of the key pieces of misinformation is his blackwater services. He served for 6 months as an embassy guard through blackwater. His 3 previous tours in Iraq and Afghanistan were not consensual past his initial signing of his military contract. Once you sign up, the military can without your consent re-deploy you for additional tours. People can claim he is a mass murderer if they want, but I would ask that they provide evidence of that, and not pretend he joined blackwater to go kill “towlheads” or some shit, because that is factually inaccurate.

Doing the billionaire classes work I guess.

No modern progressive/leftist candidate will ever be perfect for the whole world, but Graham is probably the right person to represent HIS voters in Maine.

So there are a few different tools that work. I think I’m using OneDrive UI. It will sync to your account.

I disagree, getting some flash while out on the town and being unaware of the association is half of what flash is.
