I live in New Orleans, the part of the state that isn’t the Bible Belt. If you think you’re sick of the Bible Belt, imagine how we feel when they pass all these dumbfuck, unconstitutional laws and we have to dispose of them like when a cat brings you a dead mouse.
Aside: one related, if minor annoyance of living here (or South Florida, presumably) is being told I “live in a bubble” when I tell a conservative on social media to fuck off. I am surrounded by the biggest bubble of morons there is. If anything, I’m the prick that’ll pop it if it gets too close.
A lot of countries develop by copying. I mean, there was a point when Japan, South Korea, Taiwan, etc. were “copying” and often making inferior products. But they eventually became innovative in their own right. China is already innovating in some spaces.
Actually, America even did that during the Industrial Revolution. Francis Cabot Lowell tried to obtain the designs for a power loom on a visit to England. He couldn’t get the designs so he memorized how one worked. The English even searched his bags when he was leaving to make sure he didn’t steal the designs. But they couldn’t search his noggin and that’s how America got a textile industry.
I got a roomette from Detroit to New Orleans recently and it was delightful. The cafe car was an atrium and I slept like a baby. It obviously cost more than a seat and took a long time but it was a pleasant experience. If I’d flown, I’d have probably just sat in a chair at home.
There’s two sides to every tortilla and as a gun runner, I’m very upset my personal information might be involved in this hack. We need comprehensive privacy laws and real consequences for data breaches. Otherwise, these tech companies will treat this like a cost of doing business.

No gender affirming care until you’re 18? Well, I’m sure all the laws ban breast implants, gynecomastia, and other plastic surgery for everyone, right?
I was hired to ghostwrite Alanis Morissette’s “Ironic” but then her accountant got strange with my change so I sent them a version where nothing was actually ironic. And then they actually liked it and released it. How the fuck is “rain on your wedding day” even supposed to be ironic? It was supposed to be a “fuck you” and they ran with it.

That’s why I always vote against my Rep by mail from his mom’s address and have her seal the envelope with a big kiss of full-on old lady lipstick. Challenge that ballot, Brotankhamen. I’ll show you my ID and the bed where I filled it out.
My favorite story about Ted Cruz is that he lost a drinking game in college and had to run around the dorm naked late at night and everyone hated him and just locked the doors or the dorm and went back to the party.
This is a reference to Leisure Suit Larry and the Land of the Lounge Lizards and not some nerd game, by the way. I was cool when I was 11 and playing on the computer.

If self-driving A.I. models need a workforce to help identify trains, we could probably assemble an army of toddlers willing to be paid in cookies. My friend’s kid gets HYPE and yells “TRAIN!” when he sees one. He can also reliably identify cows. He calls most construction equipment “big truck” but that might be good enough. If a Tesla thinks a backhoe is a big truck, it’ll avoid it.
I’m going to make a Linux distro that helps you forget everything you did on the computer. “Oh, man. I was drunk last night. Thank god BoxWineOS comes with the Neuralyzer program.”

I literally couldn’t login to IRS.gov this year because the facial recognition software powering login.gov kept failing. And I recently got a new driver’s license, renewed my Global Entry (whose facial recognition system does work), have a passport, etc.
I have no idea what picture of me the government or vendor running login.gov is trying to match me with but I’m pretty sure I didn’t change my face recently.
Treasury secretary came out against the proposed global levy, which proponents say would stop the rich from shifting wealth into countries where they can avoid paying the tax
Wealth isn’t that hard to quantify. An assessor comes to my house every few years and quantifies what it’s worth for property tax reasons and most people’s wealth is basically their house and maybe a retirement account. Private companies almost all have a valuation. When a start up raises a round, they literally set a valuation for the round. When a traditional business gets a loan, the bank estimates what it’s worth.
But no one even wants to tax small business owners. Every wealth tax proposal is on the super wealthy who can sure as fuck value their net worth. Donald Trump just went on trial for lying about his. If we had a formal assessment system, he would have never even been able to do frauds.
Yeah, then he probably was mixing things up (either who was mayor or when he did what where). I doubt he’d be talking about the Ebola outbreak since we only had 4 cases in the U.S. I think it was the biggest Ebola outbreak ever in West Africa but unless the mayor of Detroit’s duties include being the super secret Global Emergency Epidemiologist, not sure why he’d talk to him about that.
Just an aside: it’s kind of crazy that we had SARS, MERS, the Ebola outbreak, multiple Avian flus, swine flu, and several more since 2000 and COVID-19 is the one that spread around the world and killed the most people. It really illustrates how a relatively low mortality rate — I think SARS and MERS were 30%-40% and COVID-19 was like 2% — can be worse overall if it’s transmissible enough between humans.
