For those of you mentioning slavery ... how do you do slavery while in indefinite lockdown? Doesn't that keep you isolated in a cell with no contact or material going through the bars besides food delivered by one silent guard?

I feel like there should just be an organization of countries that are not Israel or on the UN security counsel. The United Small Nations. Then they could just do things without everything they propose getting vetoed.

Just ask: If Hezbollah did it to Israelis, what would you call it?

JD: But Germany banned the Nazi symbol! One of the few free speech things I care about!

I like to tell my physics students this story. A man made a perpetual motion device, and dared the community to disprove him. After several had tried and failed, a physics professor looked at the layout of the device. In the center was a permanent magnet. He took reading of the magnetic field strength of the magnet, ran the machine for a day, and then measured the field strength a second time. The permanent magnet was being demagnetized by it's operation. What the man had done was turned the magnet into a limited fuel source.

This was fine and didn't violate any conservation laws: the energy for the device was originally from the magnetization process that created the magnet. It actually was quite cleaver. One could just chuck a new magnet in every once and a while and the machine would keep running. The fuel source was also quite small. But, all things must be practical and efficient if they are to be industrally implemented. The process of creating permanent magnets is quite wasteful. The amount of gas needed to generate an electromagnet strong enough to create the permanent magnet was actually more than the gas needed to produce the movement from the perpetual motion device.

Though disproven, the professor said that this was on the right track. "Instead of magnetic storage, while not use electric storage devices like super-capacitors? They are much more efficient, both because they have much less loss in creating them, and because the efficiency of electric generators increases with size - and we have a very efficient electric distribution system that connects us to giant generators already installed in every home." Soon after, electric cars became a thing.

Now AI free!

Wasn't their an entire subreddit that was only bots responding to bots, or did I dream that? (Not hidden, like the rest of reddit, everyone was out in the open about it)

I tried to share this on facebook.

They removed it for "bad language"

Upon hearing he had a chance, Rep. Colin Allred released a statement saying he would take away all Texan's guns. "That work so well for Beto last time around, I'm sure it will push those on the fence to support me!" he said as every top campaign manager rushed to tackle him to the ground yelling "not on the record, shut up Colin!"

Doesn't "so hungry they eat cats" indicate the failures of the food safety net and the suffering of the immigrants? I don't get why this story would make anyone with an ounce of empathy less sympathetic to immigrants instead of more sympathetic.

Some of these third party people could get elected to the senate if they tried, but have to try for the top job with no experience because their ego can't take that they don't know everything.

Trump can’t accept his poor debate. So he’s ~~spiraled into~~ continued with conspiracy theories.
