@RichardHanania @LWeber84 So, if your child develops a disability, what then? You going to tell your kid not to get too comfortable or something??

Ghoul.

[Rolling Away @spacejo2011]

@RichardHanania Here is the problem with that kind of thinking:
Why limit it to just abortion? By that reasoning, whether the child is born or not really shouldn't make a difference in their execution, should it??

Things get ghoulish fast, and you can't stay logically consistent.

@fuze_news98511 @spectatorindex Why would we give two sh*ts about Trump's deal-making ability? He's snatched defeat from the jaws of victory. If a "deal" is announced tomorrow, Trump loses 20% of his base for starting something & not having the will to finish it, humiliating us. As a Trump voter, I'm so done!

Why do people keep saying this? It's like missing the ENTIRE POINT of Christianity, as though "If it wasn't for the Jews, Jesus would've lived" doesn't demonstrate that you've lost the plot completely.

The Romans physically killed Jesus at the urging of the Pharisees, but Jesus came to this Earth to die for us - paying the price for OUR sins. Saying that the "Jews killed Jesus" is like trying to say your sins weren't worthy of death. God's entire redemptive plan included Jesus - God come to Earth as a man - paying the price we should've paid and then defeating death itself! To blame the Jews shows you don't understand that the wages of sin is death.

@AliAum118 @_Zaraquin You do realize that the Jesus Myth Theory only has ~1% support even amongst secular researchers, right? It's like the #1 sign someone has no idea what they're talking about - when they assert the Jesus Myth Theory. It's not considered a serious scholarly theory.

@IsaacKing314 I see you know nothing about VPNs

@Ulmo_Space @BellikOzan There would be no way they'd fly on Chinese rockets. Even if they could get approval, it'd take years to get it.

The US learned its lesson in the 90s when Loral basically handed China knowledge that ultimately built their modern ICBM program.

What are the chances Bezos books more Leo launches on Falcon 9?

Point: The animosity that exists and that it took a shareholder lawsuit to get ANY F9 bookings in the first place mean chances COULD be low.

Counterpoint: Looming constellation deadlines 😳

[Rolling Away @spacejo2011]

@lessaxwrong I'm sure that if Bezos went to Musk and asked, SpaceX would massage the schedule a bit and work something out. It would be an enormous gesture on SpaceX's part.

Then again, SpaceX might not even want to be the primary launcher enabling Starlink's main competitor.

[Rolling Away @spacejo2011]

@BellikOzan I'd like to think so, but it wasn't even 3 years ago that they had to be sued to force them to fly on F9. I suppose we'll see!

@walttries @MattWalshBlog Actually love dogs personally but just b/c I love something doesn't mean I assume everyone else loves it as well. Also, straight female, so being a "hit with the chicks" isn't something I'm worried about.

And you "said humans not little kids" - OK, so an irrelevant comparison?

[Rolling Away @spacejo2011]

@walttries @MattWalshBlog We execute young kids for biting people?

[Rolling Away @spacejo2011]

@MLJK87 @MattWalshBlog Must just be luck. I've seen it twice in the last week.

[Rolling Away @spacejo2011]

@walttries @MattWalshBlog Except kids are humans and dogs are...dogs. There is a difference in kind. In 50 years from now, those kids will be running society while dogs will still just be dogs.

Think they're equal in worth? If an aggressive dog bites someone, they'll be put down. A child won't.

@peterrhague Could be worse. I bought a bottle of bourbon-flavored BBQ sauce (store-brand, no actual bourbon in it) at a grocery store and the self-checkout wouldn't let me buy it without being carded.

[Rolling Away @spacejo2011]

@raheelys There was a very simple mod you could do inside with a single wire (I used a twist tie) bridging two points that'd turn off the encryption and have it spit out a normal barcode read, no soldering required. Waaay more useful that way!

[Rolling Away @spacejo2011]

@TrungTPhan Still think about this episode semi-regularly. Such a surprising result!

[Rolling Away @spacejo2011]

@realakkamara @alexbruesewitz @trishstangret @tedcruz And if the deal comes out and it kinda sucks, what does that mean? 🤨

[Marina Medvin 🇺🇸 @MarinaMedvin]

What was the point of telling the Iranian protesters that help was on the way if we never help them and instead agree to cash and concessions for the regime that slaughters them?

I’m so ashamed right now. Those brave Persians deserved more respect than that.

And what about avenging our Marines? I’m so ashamed that we have yet to keep that promise.

I didn’t vote for weakness.

@BellikOzan @CornTerry5 I'm not sure that I believe it was restricted. Back on F9 Flight 20 when the booster landed for the 1st time, they did the USA chant. Next day I was talking w/a liberal coworker - even he said how neat the USA chant was.

Not sure when "hating your own country" became a virtue.
