I agree with Elon M usk that there should be fewer regulations. There only needs to be one: the CEO must EXCLUSIVELY use their owb product. If the rocket is safe, fly in it yourself, every single time it flies. If your self driving is safe, use it, every time you drive. Medicine? take it every day.

@fadeinpro.com Hey! A feature you should add is paragraph numbering. For animation scripts you number each paragraph of dialogue, and its a feature in final draft. I prefer fadein, but I require that feature for work so I'm forced to use... the green one. If this already exists, I can't find it.

I remember one of my favorite horror authors wrote early in the AI boom that AI was like NFTs and it would be gone by the end of the year (2023).

@fadeinpro.com Love your software, but have a feature request. A layout that has no side panel at all. Just the script. WHen I have two windows open and fadein is pinned to one half of the screen, the side panel takes up too much real estate. I love having two different drafts open side by side.

I've been speedrunning Super Mario Brother 3 for about 4 months now. I just got my first MFP tunnel. You can not imagine the elation!

People who are like "wow I could never have predicted Trump would be like this in term 2"... it's like planting an acorn and coming back to find an oak tree, and oging "WHAT?! WHAT HAPPENED TO MY ACORN?! WHO SAW THIS COMING?!"

Billionaires play with stock prices like kids play with dolls in a child psychologist's office. No consequences, just expressing big feelings.

It's a shibboleth when people say "navidia" instead of "nvidia". IYKYK

They should have first googled “what is a spoonerism” before making this puzzle. You can’t have single word spoonerisms

Should have gone to China first. The EU states will hack themselves apart trying to gain a minor advantage over a neighbor. They won’t send troops if it comes to war.
Carney going to Europe first, and immediately, is a great call. We know we can't count on the US. We want trade and security diversification.

Great call.

To be literate in the physics of history means learning to stop seeing words and only seeing actions. Ignore all words. Then history opens like a flower. Man breaks every rule. "we'll negotiate new rules, and get the WORDS right.' This is a historically illiterate plan. History has a physics to it.

The Newsreader and the Pitt are both just so great.

If there's one thing Doge and Trump have conclusively proven: There never was a deep state. If their conspiracy theory was true, Doge would have been stopped instantly.

As the ides of march approaches, remember, Rome's Hereditary Billionaire Class assassinated a Trillionaire. THere were no winners that day. It led to dictatorship. During the first several emperors, Romans believed they lived in a republic, and the emperor was not a king. They still held elections

People only find someone’s arguments rational if that person has already demonstrated their dominance. Give up the Enlightenment superstition that we are rational. Fight primally. Show dominance and people will magically suddenly find your arguments convincing.

"The challenge for opposition parties is to remain competitive. Appeals to legalism and procedure are a waste of time; once the other side has demonstrated that they can break the rules and get away with it, invoking the rules is no longer useful. "

Stop saying "BUT THAT'S ILLEGAL" about the actions of a dictator.

You have to go into the streets with your bodies. Law is nothing but a story. They are telling a different story now. Enemies mustbe crushed to protect the freedoms of the loyal. Bodies. Streets. Now.

Core to the Party's power in 1984 is permanent economic scarcity. Demolished economies and high unemployment leaving people unable to resist.
