Telling corps to stay out of politics but keep paying them seems like a bold strategy. Not sure why they need the GOP when the Democrats are right there but I guess there's value in creating the illusion of choice.

I do wonder if the real power players will get to the point where they say "eh voting was cute but this is the party that's just going to be in control all of the time" and dispence with any illusion of support for public policy, what are you going to do about it get killed at a protest?

Yeah I never got that. Thought the point would be to be hyper vigilant for the early stages of something that would lead to another Holocaust. But these people want to wait till the gas chambers are in full swing before “okay now it’s okay to reference the Holocaust to the current situation.”

To be fair to AOCIA, science fair boards are always embarrassing. It sounds like she actually tried to run an experiment, which is the best you can expect from a high schooler.

The funny part is that Ted Cruz made her so angry that she let slip that she was a Kennedy intern ... a fact that she never brought up in the course of her entire primary campaign. I actually think this tweet was the first place I heard about it.

Then again, to be fair to AOCIA again, Ted Cruz is an expert at getting under people's skin as he is a swarm of parasites in a human skin suit.

I sure as poo poo wouldn't post a picture of any science fair poster boards I've ever done (if I even had any pictures, lol). poo poo, the stuff I did for my masters makes me cringe.

My best science fair poster board was when I tried to cryogenicly freeze ants and revive them. I bought some dry ice, put the ants in, and then tried to thaw them. The board was basically "uhh ... they died."

Given a time machine they'd go back to like, a year after the Wannsee conference and kill Hitler THEN, because to do it at any other point would be to conflate a couple hundred thousand dead in the camps to that point with 6 million and as everyone knows 10^6 is the the order of magnitude at which the camps where the unwanted races are killed officially graduate to 'concentration' status.

It's basically a self dox, but other than a tenure track position Otto Octavius and I have the same CV. Less so much on the Remote Handling, but that's actually a big push for us right now to stay relevant. Probably gonna have to jack into some VR brazos robos sooner rather than later.

E: As soon as the powers kick in I solemnly swear to kill the world, and don't worry, I've seen the kind of undergrads <Spiderman College> produces. Meddling kids won't be an issue. And checking Wikipedia to see if they reference the real world university, I just for the first time internalized these facts from the plot:

Harry, who is now head of Oscorp's genetic and scientific research division... Mary Jane becomes engaged to astronaut John Jameson

Everyone remembers being 18 right? When you go to college and start drifting apart from your home town friends, that one buddy who decided to do a gap year taking charge of a corporations' scientific research division and the other one gets engaged to an astronaut?

lmao yeah even the holocaust museum in DC decided to get pissy about the border recently and got themselves yelled at by a shitload of historians

just a complete 180 on "never again" - a thing they advocated for as recently as 2013:

quote:

The United States Holocaust Memorial Museum made the phrase, in its universal sense, the theme of its 2013 Days of Remembrance, urging people to look out for the "warning signs" of genocide.[11]

I made a science fair trifold board like that

But twitter didn't exist yet so I never posted about it

Also the science fair was rigged such that the judges changed the scoring literally in the middle of the awarding ceremony just to make sure the team from the provinces won because us city folk kept winning Nationals too often

That shook me out of the idea of meritocracy at a very early age

I can't tell if all this recent talk from GOP folks is because of the culture warriors becoming so big in the party they're overwritting the pro business bedrock at places, or if the GOP is just so comfortable in their power at this point to start trying to boss companies around to placate the culture warrior aspect.
