Many people are giving wrong answers. Cognitive dissonance is NOT simply holding two opposing ideas in your head. Cognitive DISSONANCE is the uneasy feeling people are supposed to get when holding discongruent ideas at the same time.

Some people do not feel cognitive dissonance at all even while openly voicing the opinions. Great examples are all over politics. If one is for women having the freedom to make their own medical decisions, but oppose abortion bejng legal, those are two opposing views that SHOULD trigger unease and make them reconsider one position or the other.

A better example is people that believe laws should apply equally to everyone, but then go on to say Trump should totally be immune. That SHOULD cause dissonance, but it doesn’t for far too many.

I definitely remember some people screeing about Bush and Cheney wanting it, but IIRC, everyone was treating it like suspicion at most.

The Epstein conspiracy theory was accepted FAR more readily, but then that’s basically guaranteed to be true to some degree, even if it was truly just the jailors being incompetent fuckwits that wanted to take justice in to their own hands.

The only thing I remember people being remotely close to believing was that Bush was so incompetent that he allowed a terrorist attack to happen.

It’s not really a theory that Bush was an incompetent fuckwit, but it’s highly debatable if they knew enough to stop it.

Then get rid of the non-functional ziplock part altogether. That’d save way more plastic.

The justification is absolutely stupid no matter who attempts to use it.

They explicitly lose their protection if used for offensive military activity.

If soldiers are being treated in a hospital, it very much does NOT become a valid target. If soldiers are merely hiding in a hospital, it explicitly does NOT become a valid target.

No, it cannot. Not a state-based law that the feds don’t care about and other states will tell them to fuck off over.

Not unless they are operating in Texas, accessible to Texas cops, with property seizeable by Texas authorities.

That’s because they were facilitating actual, across-the-board federal crimes.

Not looking at titties.

I could see states that have such draconian laws working together to attempt to do anything about flagrant violators, but otherwise Texas has yet another pointless, toothless virtue signaling “law” on their hands.

“Operating in the state” and “accessible in the state” are different.

Much like a business doesn’t have to have a specific state’s business license to sell to customers of a different state, a website does not have to comply with all laws everywhere just because the laws exist. If they’re operating in Texas, they will. If they’re accessible from Texas, that’s Texas’ problem.

That would require jurisdiction to charge them anyways. They do not have such power.

This trash might’ve set itself on fire after it realized it’s a Tesla Cybertruck.

Yea, it’s not C that is crap, but that it has zero guard rails. Like blaming a knife for not having a guard… Is it a bad knife without a guard? Depends on how sharp it is. The guard is orthogonal to the knife’s purpose, but might still be important when the knife is used.

Just because something doesn’t help prevent accidents does not mean it cannot serve its actual purpose well, unless its actual purpose is safety.

Memory safe language that’s becoming viable … as a proper replacement of C.

There are many other memory safe languages out there. Just not ones most would like to pull in to the kernel…

Those problems persist to this day. Just like how Trump (didn’t) delt with COVID.

“The economy” took precedence over peoples’ health, even though peoples’ activity makes the economy… By allowing so many to die, the US’ economy will produce far less than it would have for decades to come. They failed even at the direct goal they were aiming for…

The short-sightedness is the problem. People who think they even can defocus on any goal are only succeeding in deluding themselves.

It is both.

That was, in fact, wrong.

Just because there is a high priority present doesn’t magically make it ok to throw your humanity out the window… Why do I have to explain this!? Are you a sociopath?!

That ENTIRE SHOW was about how he had many chances to choose to not be a piece of shit. Every spiral was because of him. He is, in fact, a terrible person, and the fact you cannot understand that is concerning. Having one singular noble goal does NOT magically absolve him of all of his terrible decisions.

Even better reason to leave those goons behind, then.

Also, having a section they push to the top is not “defaulting”. It’s forced inclusion. Again, even more reason to abandon Google.
