The one that bothers me is banning IVF. WFT? I don't get it.
#12 | Posted by et_al

Banning IVF is born, no pun intended, of the biological finding so dear to forced birth politics, that life begins at conception.

I mean, if you believe life begins at conception, and who doesn't, because that's true.

Then you're certainly killing that life when you choose to spare some fertilized IVF embryous, and discard and incinerate the remains of the others.

So if you're gonna apply the law, IVF has to go.

Open your metaphorical eyes.

Karmelo got 35 years, vs the 20 years that the post above me indicates is an appropriate sanction.

The issue is the "others" who get off tend to exhibit a lighter lighter skin tone than Karmelo.

Yep it's the end game now.

"Dems Want Sharia Law in America"

Even if you don't like Dems, this is a level of stupid which should make you not like Abbott either.

But apparently he ---- the bed over COVID and the party was over. He said enough is enough. Good bye.
Then and only then did you decide he was a bag guy.
Not before.

And?
Lots of people revealed their true character thanks to COVID.
Eric Clapton, most cops, even Van Morrison turned out to be --------.

What's your point?
That you're not supposed to re-evaluate someone when it becomes obvious they're a -------, or that you are?

I don't get the "print the legend" reference... and I don't see how a 2014 documentary about 3-D printing with that name is the right Google search to explain it!

"Its language designates as targets of federal counterterrorism authorities Americans whose sponsors are labeled "anti-American", " anti-capitalist", " anti-Christian" or "hostile to traditional American views on family, religion and morality."

a data center they've lived near for 20 years and still don't know it's already there.

The new data centers are roughly one hundred times the size, and people will know they're there. They'll be hard to miss.

"Current traditional data centers typically span 100,000 to 300,000 square feet in a single city-based building. In contrast, new mega AI data centers are expanding to millions of square feet across hundreds of acres, with some projects described as the size of Central Park or even four times larger." --AI Summary, but not a "this AI needs a new Data Center to do this" AI Summary.

"As will all left wing statistics intended to race bait"

Those are government statistics.

I guess simply keeping statistics is race baiting, when you're a racist.

Why would I ever own a pool? Nothing but a drowning hazard for neighborhood children... oh nvm I get it.

Anyway, having been to the reflecting pool several times, I'm accustomed to seeing people in there with rakes cleaning it up. Did DOGE fire those guys?

The point is you want the products, the services, the innovation, we all feed into it and value it.

The point is want a government that puts checks on the power of oligarchs, and we don't get that.

We're not jealous of the power of the oligarchs. We don't want anyone to have that kind of power.

When it comes to jealousy of unimaginable riches, there's no reason you shouldn't be as jealous as anyone else here. We're all worth zero compared to these guys.

Yet somehow your "jealousy" rule only applies to anyone who dares criticize the rise of the oligarch class over the past twenty years. Your "jealousy" retort is a conditioned emotional response. And look at you, you made a comment that reinforced your learning! And you will never, ever move away from your emotional-based claim that jealousy , and jealousy alone, is why people don't like having oligarchs.

Eberly's whole way of thinking here demonstrates that
conservative men have their strongest political positions
rooted in negative emotions about the people they don't like.
