He's not a genius.

The elder generation of politicians he manipulated were educated in their day in historical allegory and gospel

Leadership is ignorant and clueless. No idea how "check the work" so to speak. Didn't matter to them. Trickle down made them rich. They ultimately began to encourage it

Congress is predominantly nihilists who pretend to believe in American norms to secure power

Your claim is his acting as a voice for America abroad has not benefited the US?

"Walk all over..." when he is clearly out numbered not just in Congress but by voters. You want him to show up with a flamethrower and show what he's really made of?

You're not at all engaged in a sincere discussion. Coming off like an intentional astroturfer just out to propagate Bernie hate

Don't get me wrong I am not a Bernie Bro. Just aware there is a world outside him working against him this whole time too.

You cherry picked one idea from my post. I was not addressing nature but human social tropes.

What is a subspecies and species is random gibberish of the living humans

> ...distinct but able to interbreed

I mean people won't like the idea but that's not my point; what you describe variety in superficial traits while maintaining common traits

Applied to humans; skin color, eyes, dwarfism, hypertrichosis... can still interbreed

When it comes to categorization and taxonomy in leaky abstractions like languages the boundaries get a bit hand wavy and usually land on whatever fits the prevailing social desirability bias of the day

If his goal was just get bills passed, sure

As a Senator he is invited around the world to discuss his ideas

You're actually arguing those highly technical engineering projects provided nothing to humanity investing labor in them because they were not a financial success?

Just confirms my suspicion HN is not a forum for intellectual curiosity. It's been entirely subsumed by MBAs and wannabe billionaires.

But I am not stuck in HN. This account is 100% disposable to me.

With warm weather approaching I will log off this throwaway, setup as something to do during a cold stretch, and forget it exists.

No I got the point.

Those other countries have different legal norms.

Apple has engaged in censorship in China to stay in business there that they didn't engage in in the US.

Until whatever happens happens the idea they will behave the same in their own backyard low effort speculation

What pedestal did I put Apple on by highlighting past behavior? Oh right I didn't. You're just inferring incorrectly. Another HN specialty.

Other countries are not the US, btw. There are groups here ready to challenge such a move.

Continually amazed at HN ignorance of geography.

"In the UK..."

Good thing I live in the US?

Shouldn't be hard with the obvious circular investing and... oh yeah... the poaching emails between Steve Jobs and Eric at Google back in the day, along with emails revealed during a discovery phase where big tech CEOs were agreeing to act in each other's interests as if they were one big family of companies; it's just physics, afterall

But everyone was making tons of money due to ZIRP trickle down no one cared then

Transparency of the wheel

Stylized gradients on the flamingo

Flowers

Ground/grass has a stylized look and feel

...despite a miss along the Y-axis where it's below the seat, couple oddly organized tail feathers, spokes, the composition overall is much closer to a production quality entity

Opus 4.7 looks like 20 seconds in MS paint.

Qwen3.6 looks incomplete due to the sitting position, but like a WIP I could see on a designer coworkers screen if I walk up and interrupt them. Click and drag it up, adjust tail feathers and spokes, you're there or much closer, to a usable output

If you have a point, one of billions, make it.

If you feel the entire premise is wrong over a B and not an M go away. I don't have time for pedants who play "guess my problem."

This is all empty political rhetoric.

Billions of people exist in the EU. In real terms it has not gone anywhere.

Obsession with preserving political dogma, rhetorical forms, atheist appearing syntax and semantics (language that does invoke specific concepts of theology); political and economic abstraction that do not represent reality is not much different from religion.

By your measure every nation effectively died out centuries ago as some originating principles died with their originators of those principles. Yet here we are still discussing France and Russia and the US as real things. They only ever existed as ethno objects to begin with; things that only exist if we talk about them as existing.

So what if some rhetorical specifics that used to define the economic and political foundations of the EU mutate. That's immutable reality for you. It's bound to happen due to generational churn.

People who live there can still use the term EU to define whatever political structure and economic model they land on next.
