low effort post
Exactly what effort did you put into your [I use the term loosely] joke?
I mean, if you want to talk about effort, you could take the time to repudiate all the Trump pardons and show how they benefitted the country.

Talk to anyone who was old enough to vote for Clinton.
It wasn’t a big dramatic floor fight in Congress. People started talking about doing away with the ATF, and the idea seemed to be gaining momentum, and then it just…vanished.
I see no advantage to students using AI and many problems.
Unless and until I see an advantage to a new tech, I hold my reserve. Obviously, a typewriter will give you better copy than a quill pen, and a word processor beats both.
But all three of those require the writer to come up with their own ideas.
This is one of my favorite stories.
The ATF completely screwed up the raid on the Branch Davidian Church in Waco back in 1993. It was indenfesnable and a lot of people started saying that the Agency should be abolished and its responsibilities moved to the FBI.
“Small government” GOPs blocked any mention of the idea, because they were worried about having the FBI looking into gun crimes.
And at the time it was true.
If all the knowledge you have in your society can be memorized and recited, writing it down means it can be changed.
On the other hand, if you have a society where you know of that there are over 500,000 types of beetles, it might be a better idea to come up with a way to record that information without memorization.
Just because an idea is new/old doesn’t mean it’s good/bad.
Things have to be judged on their own merits.
A while back, someone suggested that only women should be allowed to own handguns, and that the guns should all be painted baby pink.

Obama wanted to do this, but the NRA blocked his choice for Surgeon General.
Such men are dangerous!
I know that I learn better when I write things down on paper.

It’s too bad you didn’t get to post that on Juneteenth.
By that logic, we shouldn’t have to teach kids to walk, because they’ll be able to strap on an exoskeleton or sit in a floating chair. Heck, we will be able to make Dune style suits and never have to teach them to control their poopage.
There’s no growth without struggle.
MAGoo logic. Our program is perfect. If there are failures, it’s because we didn’t work hard enough.
MAGoo logic.
Children of 15 or 16 should show maturity and learn to control their desires. Grown men like Trump can’t be expected to show any kind of restraint.
The strain was too much, man.
[off topic]
Right after absolutely nothing happened at Tianinmen Square 06/04/1989 someone suggested that all Chinese students in the US be given Green Cards.
Guess who opposed that?
Small role but well done.
Have you checked the maker’s site?
