@American1068 Communists aren't actively trying to take over the USA. And if you think Democrats are even close to communist you are clueless

Why are Communists not as vilified as Nazis? Communism is the most brutal murderous form of government in modern history. Let’s make communist reviled again.

@aditiitwt The reason is they only boil a tiny bit of water if they are running too hot, not nearly enough to run any sort of steam turbine

GPUs generate so much heat they could boil water why can’t we reuse some of it to help power the GPUs again?

@FrostflyPrime Charisma wasn’t on the list of requirements. It’s only a plus that Trump has loads of it.

Many Democrats are going to lose their minds when Rubio inherits the MAGA movement, and they realize MAGA was never about White Supremacy but about national pride, competence, and realpolitik.

Libertarianism is just 120 IQ people with a strong moral compass projecting their psychology onto everyone else.

No filters or editing on pic. There's nothing she says I believe, except when she speaks of abortion, TG care, or protecting all criminals, and her campaign slogan, "bad orange man" because she has no accomplishments to tout. The best thing @governortinakotek could do for Oregon would be to #resign In all seriousness, Oregon and Portland are in dire straits which she obviously has no plan.

@FrostflyPrime @jimmartin102857 @miles_commodore Because I'm not breaking this down to appease your ass. "Ok, so 1/3 of Californians voted for me, 1/5th voted for you, and the didn't vote or voted for a third candidate." I "Won California" with only 1/3rd votes, while you lost with 1/15th California and all of Wyoming.

What’s your take on the electoral college? Is it still good for America?

@FrostflyPrime @jimmartin102857 @miles_commodore No, it isn't. California is 67 times more popular than Wyoming. If even 1/3rd of Californians bother to show up and vote for me, and every single human being in Wyoming desperately showed up to vote for you, I killed you. I win. How is that fair?

@jimmartin102857 @RichardKlosterm @miles_commodore So we get the tyranny of the minority. And you don't know your history and that the electoral college is a deal with the southern states where most of the slaves were and they were partially counted for election purposes

@FrostflyPrime @RichardKlosterm @miles_commodore IF we were a pure Democracy, then yea, it would just be a popular vote contest. But the Founders studied history and knew the abuses that minorities faced in those situations where 50.1% could strip the rights of the other 49.9% if they chose. Ergo, a Democratic Republic.

@FrostflyPrime @RichardKlosterm @miles_commodore Trump won 2,660 US counties Harris won 451 US counties If she'd carried 500+ counties she probably would have won. People vote, not land. But the Electoral College keep large population urban centers from overwhelming the vast rest of the country.

@jimmartin102857 @FrostflyPrime @miles_commodore I mean, even with the electoral college, there are flaws. If you look at California votes by county, it's a red state!!! But it has 4 big blue blobs that have more population that the rest of the state combined, so it always goes blue. If anything the EC ahould be expanded!

@RichardKlosterm @jimmartin102857 @miles_commodore Except that's not how the system works. You don't win states you win votes. 1 vote in Wyoming is exactly as valuable as one in California. The point of a popular vote is to not have a " winner take all" system.

@FrostflyPrime @jimmartin102857 @miles_commodore A vote in Wyoming is far less powerful than one in California. If you win all of Wyoming and 19 other of the smallest populated states, and I just win Calinornia. You lose. You won 20 states, I only won 1, but my state had more people so I win. Not fair at all.

@jimmartin102857 @miles_commodore Very poor logic. If the election is close and based on the popular vote candidates must campaign in every state, because the states aren't relevant for the election. You need as many votes as you can get. A vote in wyoming has no more power then A vote in California

@miles_commodore If not for the Electoral College, 9-10 states would pick every President and it would be decided mostly by Blue urban cities. The Electoral College makes the presidential candidates campaign across the country, not just in CA(54), NY(28), IL(19), NJ(14), TX(40), FL(30),OH(17)

@FrostflyPrime @shawzsav They are fundamentally different tho, studies have proven that they have different retention rates and learning curves. Pointing this out is just... Stating a fact, they are different proceses. Now if someone tries to be discriminatory about it, we can jump them.

@shawzsav A variety of we'll know authors disagree and this take is very ableist. I usually expect better takes from you. My eyes are garbage, it is painful for me to read for long periods. Audio books let me keep reading without the pain.

There's an UNBELIEVABLE use case for regional trips in the US that will decimate air travel and buses. Fully autonomous Tesla Robovans outfitted as long-haul first-class "buses". These would run routes similar to Amtrak or Greyhounds, but with First-Class-like comfort, amenities, and space. The price per seat of these can be the same as a bus, but FAR more comfortable and FAR more luxurious. Can obviously optimize the interior for the best configuration but MAN. This would absolutely KILL.

Remember folks, it's revenue fire season. @GovTinaKotek and @ORDems have no choice but to cut their Bic Brigade loose. Their failed policies have starved their federal slush fund. It's going to be a hot "fire disaster" summer.

I don’t understand why every vehicle isn’t a hybrid. Why not use regenerative braking to charge a battery in every car? Huge increase in gas mileage. Why do they still make non-hybrids?
