| self-driving cars can't come soon enough for me. I'm not convinced they'll ever become viable on roads with human drivers. If they can't operate safely around human drivers they shouldn't be allowed on the road at all. I think the FSD (Full Self Driving) of Tesla is becoming extremely good. As good... |

| I don't think that electing somebody that hasn't earned the nomination is going to garner us much respect outside the US. Especially when you look at her track record as AG of CA and the limited time she spent in the Senate. Yeah but the USA thought Trump would be a good president. And a decent pro... |

| With it being this close, all it would take for Trump to win is for there to be a poor turnout of the sorts that she has in her coalition. We’ll have to see what happens. With it being so close, I think it’s absurd to say that it will probably go one way or the other. It’s currently looking up for ... |

| Perhaps, but the Democrats are doing their best to see that he wins. I'm not sure how else you explain the primaries that were rigged to the extent that nobody in their right mind can claim that it was the will of the people that led to Kamala being the nominee. According to polls, it’s very close. ... |

| I could be wrong here, but my impression was that the really high pattern recognition abilities tend to go more with classic autism, perhaps as a kind of alternative developmental pathway of the brain away from language learning. That's the stereotype, but you also see that sort of thing pop up whe... |

Yes, and very few of them are high profile multimillionaires. I don't know that any are billionaires. |

Not that project 2025 was really that big of a deal, they put out plans like that every 4 years, and spend the rest of the years trying to actually put the stuff in practice. Sure, there's som... |

| That sort of arrogance where the DNC can force a candidate on us and just expect to win is what gave us HRC 2016 as the nominee and Trump as the actual winner. She has a ton of weaknesses in her career that can and will be attacked. She's going to have to find some way of convincing voters that her... |
