Like drawing a picture of Pitbull from memory.

Uh, more like “Escape from New York”

I mean, I would assume that someone who doesn’t get a new enough car doesn’t have enough money to pay for commercial insurance. Also offering people rides on the street is a bad idea (because you can get robbed) and possibly illegal. This is just running an unlicensed taxi service. Gypsy cabs have been around for hundreds of years. It’s not a good idea.

That’s a terrible idea. His insurance won’t cover him in an accident. If a passenger is injured he may be on the hook for the medical care.

That’s not how insurance works. They monitor average speed, acceleration, and braking, if anything. There’s no correlation between mouth movement and accidents. What if someone is chewing gum? What about adjusting dentures? What about drinking coffee while parked?

Show me an actuarial table that includes “mouth movement” as a variable or admit this is just a middle manager trying something stupid.

What a weird thing to say.

Edit: lol, 1 day old account

No, you will not “have to do it”. Either they can afford to pay a qualified person to do it, or they can’t. If they can’t afford a more expensive person, they definitely can’t afford to fire you. You are the cheap one.

Think about it: if they put themselves in this situation, they are going to end up cleaning it themselves. “Need money for rent and food”? If you have a crappy minimum wage job, you have the power. Literally no one above you wants to do your work. You can definitely tell them “no”. Do you think there’s some shortage of crappy minimum wage jobs?

Reminder to anyone still working retail: if your job description isn’t “janitor”, you don’t need to clean that up. It’s a biohazard and they can pay more expensive people with better equipment to do it.

This is a child’s thinking. A child wants the bully to get punched in the nose. An adult knows that this comes from insecurity. Bullies do not fear violence, they fear ridicule.

You know Costco isn’t squeezing the olives themselves? There’s a lot of fake olive oil out there. They just blend in some vegetable oil or something.

Um, 2 gallons for $16? That was probably fake or blended olive oil. That’s $2 a quart. No one is selling you the good stuff for that price.

JFK is not considered one of the best. He didn’t even have a full term, so there’s no way to know. People liked him because he was young and handsome and died that way.

He started the Vietnam War. His only real test was the Cuban Missile Crisis. He did adopt Keynesianism economic policies (over more classical policies) and proposed the bill that became the Civil Rights Act of 1964. Those are all important, but he honestly wasn’t in office long enough to do much.

And besides, like you said he was 43, not 35. AOC would not be able to do anything because she doesn’t have the relationships yet. Good presidents don’t come from the House of Representatives. They come from the Senate (JFK, Obama), Governors (FDR), or Vice Presidents (Harris).

Honestly, 35 is too young to be president. 40 to 60 is probably the sweet spot. Make the upper limit 65 or 70 (but start negotiating at 60).

Good. You probably don’t want a hatchet to be that sharp. You’re not going to be doing anything delicate with it. Sharp blades have the edge bend or break easily.

Why are you talking about Angolan political parties? You’re not in the graduate seminar now. You have to actually explain the connections. “Largest unaligned economy”. That’s code for “no one else wants to trade with these guys”.

Americans are as nakedly hostile to an independent Cuba as the CCP is to an independent Taiwan.

No one in America outside of Cubans cares about Cuba policy, and they don’t want normalization. There’s no animosity outside of Miami.

If they said “these fortunes are real and will come true” they would be liable for fraud.

Microsoft’s argument that they are not liable must include the idea that their Copilot AI is not expected to deliver true statements in its summaries. That’s clearly not what the purpose of the summary is.

You were right in the first half, but completely wrong in the second. Yeah, it’s possible to get rid of the embargo. As soon as the older Cubans pass away, it will be much easier electorally. People in the future will ask “why wasn’t it done earlier”; it’s because of single issue voters.

Cuba represents an alternative viable economic system

“Viable”? No. No one is afraid of the Cuban economy. Even the citizens of Venezuela have rejected Maduro, and they have a good view of the Cuban style economy.

Gaza and Libya don’t have economic systems anywhere close to Cuba. They are not even aligned politically. “They might not like the US at some point in their history” is not a political alignment.

You made the comparison between one person and a million. I quote:

We remember Eisenhower, not the millions who died

We do remember those people… there’s a huge WWII memorial in DC and memorials around the country. The Korean War has a great memorial in DC too, great statues.

Dwight Eisenhower apparently has a small memorial as well. I had to look it up to find it. The first review says:

We just happened to find this memorial while waiting for our timed entry into the Air and Space Museum.

So, who is remembered more?

Like I said, I’m not an expert but I think big drones that can take down a bridge aren’t piloted by two dudes in a bush.
