Resonance on a bridge is only able to become an issue if you have everybody actually marching in step (and it's worth noting that these days they make sure bridges can handle way more than they're expected to). Getting a crowd of protesters on a bridge walking together is just gonna have the weight of the protesters.

Oh good, the Burrito Taxi app's gonna tell me I can order the Whopper from McDonald's.

Also, this is the exact kind of transaction they had in mind when they created the tech, but everyone decided it was only ever for drugs, because that's what the Wall St owned media told them to think

What were the completely legal products that had Visa and Mastercard standing on the sidelines in 2009? Because without a real life example, I don't think big media had to do much to get people to ignore this use case at the time.

If people had used cryptocurrency as a currency instead of as a "it's totally not a security, we swear, even though we're only saying that to evade SEC regulations a little longer" there'd be a lot fewer people calling it a scam.

For sixteen years, crypto's only use cases seemed to be buying illegal goods and securities fraud. Finally, we have another use case presenting: perfectly legal transactions that credit card companies have gotten cold feet about.

Demanding that businesses not poison people downwind/downstream from the factory is not giving an unfair advantage to businesses that have good processes.

Yes, they saved the businesses having to train new employees to replace the dead ones.

Look, twenty some odd years ago, we all saw that episode of CSI and it fucked our perception of furries. But we have to move past our sophomore-in-highschool versions of ourselves and protect people who were just minding their own business and got attacked for liking something harmless that other people don't approve of.

Redraw California, New York, New Jersey, Illinois, Washington, and Oregon districts to overwhelm the handful of Republican districts there.

Then

Take full advantage of the fact that the R's are pushing a very unpopular agenda and will have to weaken their advantages in red districts (making them a bit swingier) in order to get rid of blue districts.

Every time I pull the string on the back of this doll it says something nice to me. Is this true love?

It's decidedly not suspicious. However, considering how hard Trump has been trying to hide the well-known fact that he spent an awful lot of time with his good buddy the child rapist/trafficker, I'm certainly not going to complain that it's making people look at all of that. And I'll mostly not highlight how not-suspicious it actually is.

Our product will make all jobs obsolete. That's why we need to work our employees to death making it!

Fuck. Q was right. There is an elite network of child rapists and those who protect them. It's the GOP.
