orbitz , 57 minutes ago to news in Trump expects Biden to be a 'worthy debater' after spending months attacking his mental fitness

From the guy that also had ‘executive time’ blocked off many (most? All?) mornings of his presidency, he only wanted to be in front of the cameras. Trump has never worked for what would amount to a full time day in his life I bet.

Amazes me that a grifter who I doubt anyone would truly trust to babysit or even be a manager at a fast food joint gets so much support and offered access to some of the world’s most secret Intel.

Seems like a distinction without a difference, I sort of assumed the OP meant that is all I mean. We don’t know anything before the beginning after all. Like you said.

orbitz , 3 days ago to news in Trump says he wants foreign nationals who graduate from US colleges to ‘automatically’ receive green cards

The upside of having no real stances is you can throw stuff at the wall and see what sticks towards your benefit.

Also an upside of never implementing what you promised it doesn’t matter what you said last.

I assume that’s from Invasion of the Body Snatchers? I’ve only seen the pose spoofed in other media, most memorable being Space Quest IV (think it’s that one, been a few decades since playing the series now). Mean to watch it someday, maybe a good time in remeberance.

orbitz , 14 days ago to showerthoughts in Even if god exists religion can't possibly be the way to god

You think there can only be one god? That sounds limiting. I don’t believe in any, but say does Buddhism really contradict most of Christianity real values? Like be good to people (help the less fortunate) try to let things go to not burden your well being (praying for forgiveness), respect others (do unto others). Besides having to actually believe in a god what’s the difference between the two? Though the Buddhist view I’m thinking of doesn’t require a god either but both seem to have teachings of compassion and love for your fellow person (some restrictions apply when dealing with intolerant types). I’m not saying you shouldn’t have faith but don’t say one has to be wrong.

orbitz , 17 days ago to news in ‘Rigged’: Trump attacks judge and courts in first post-conviction rally

Yeah and it’s so annoying some people don’t want to realize how awful he is when he pulls this crap. Like they take his word as gospel, the dude who lies about the colour of the sky.

I get that they don’t want to be wrong but maybe the lesson is, we have to teach people it’s okay to accept we’re wrong and to change our ways. Digging into a bad hole is as bad as being bombed into one.

First year programming in the late 90s … segmentation fault? I put printfs everywhere. Heh. You’d still get faults before the prints happened, such a pain to debug while learning. Though we weren’t really taught your point of the comment at the time.

Least that was my experience on an AIX system not sure if that was general or not, the crash before a print I mean.

orbitz , 18 days ago to gaming in Hello, PC gaming here: Are the consoles OK?

Going back awhile now too for that no install right? Like didn’t PS3 have some installs? My memory is fuzzy on when it exactly started, but yeah it was nice to just pop in the media (cart, disc) and play. That was a great perk of console games, especially rentals,though there was a small time I could rent PC games when I moved to a city in the late 90s. These days I mostly play on PC anyways so always install but it was nice for the first few decades of my gaming to not require it.

The fun part of getting older when you go from getting the hot new thing fresh on the market to I just bought that retro thing…when it was new last ummm oh… nevermind.

orbitz , 23 days ago to nottheonion in Trump falsely claims he never called for Hillary Clinton to be locked up

There’s a whole movie using the same rhythm ‘dont look up’ that, I assume, it was modeled after. I’m sure his narcissism is clutching for some control these days and it’s driving him mad.

orbitz , 25 days ago to news in Trump campaign raises record $34.8 million in donations after guilty verdict

Yeah has there been anything, that Trump’s been in charge of, not lied about the smallest thing? It’s pretty much a prerequisite for working under him. All things he leads is to puff his ego to the media and funnel any revenue to his own bank account. Then go bankrupt so Trump can keep the cash.

orbitz , 26 days ago to news in TRUMP GUILTY ON ALL 34 COUNTS

The lady in the article said she might change her mind about voting for him if he was convicted of election interference. Like he just was, mean not exactly but the reason it was a felony was due to the election campaign. Least if I understood correctly, otherwise they’d have been misdemeanors. Or something like that anyways.

orbitz , 30 days ago to world in ‘They call us Nazis’: inside the wealthy German town where the far right is on the rise

If it walks like a Nazi, looks like a Nazi and sounds like a Nazi…maybe you got a jackboot problem. Least that’s how people are treating this issue it seems.

orbitz , 1 month ago to showerthoughts in In Star Trek, Commander Data is socially awkward because he lacks training data. This might be because he was built and developed in isolation from the rest of society.

That was one of my thoughts, the amount of social data he could get from Starfleet Academy would be huge. Its not like he needed to study the material. I guess there’s an argument that Data was only as social as he was because of the academy. Or maybe the computation needed to make the officer decisions are much more intensive than we think, contrary to what Lower Decks shows heh,kidding I love that show.
