“derived” doing a lot of heavy lifting here.

I think it means that the net energy consumption is zero. It can use energy, but it generates enough to offset it.

Are you surprised by the concept of potential energy?

Yeah, sounds like maybe he just didn’t have a death wish.

Neat.

I think it’s still pretty cool. Turning potential energy to kenetic

You can already be compelled to give up biometric data like fingerprint to unlock your phone, I believe. I give it less than a year before SCOTUS extends that to PINs. And yes, I am sure they will find ways to get it out of people. Or if not, at least they tortured you, and that’s what they really wanted.

Assuming we have anything resembling rule of law at that point.

Do you think Excel=pen and paper?

You guys are talking about the same thing. Excel is a pretty powerful data storage and manipulation app. It excels (heh) at pattern recognition.

Not even joking, it would probably work. Assuming you had some sort of brand recognition already.

You don’t know how fascism works, do you?

The “it can’t happen here” mentality is so ingrained, that I feel like even many of the people who know that it is bullshit, still aren’t fully comprehending what is coming. Which I get, because it’s hard to comprehend. But boy is it frustrating.

Yeah, but you just distract the idiots with “illegal” immigrants, and abortion, and perceived “enemies within”, etc. etc.

It works every single time.

Well if he isn’t already, it’s only a matter of time before Musk is part of the government (ugh goddammit I want to vomit), and I would not put it past them to attempt to make X some kind of “official” government app. Tons of money for Musk, and the US government now controls the data of hundreds of millions of users, as well as complete control over what is and isn’t shown on the site.

See how easy it is to come up with this shit? Fascism is easy mode for amoral sociopaths.

Well, they tried “fascist,” but Americans are literally too fucking stupid to know what that means.

They should have just lied, I guess.

Do you not understand what the word “dictator” means? He told us what he’s going to be. Congress is irrelevant, and if it continues to exist, it will be to rubber stamp, at best.

This shit is so naive.

This is so naive. They literally told us exactly what they will do, and it literally has “2025” in the title. We need to listen to them when they tell us what they are going to do.

In his shoes, I would think twice - does their team really want to present their dirtiest laundry to the world - such as owing an election to a media oligarch?

Why do you think they care? Even if their followers didn’t have cult-like devotion, the chances that we will ever have a free and fair presidential election ever again are extremely slim. Why should they care about optics?

Harris lost the popular vote by over 4-million votes. There aren’t that many “leftist extremists” in the whole damn country, and only a small subset of those wouldn’t have voted for Harris.

You have data to back that up I assume?

Literally did the thing you criticized them for.
