Code is an asset.

Code that enables a company to generate revenue is an asset.

Code is an asset.

Code that can be sold for more than it cost to generate is an asset.

Everyone’s heard of Kazakhstan, if not for the architecture, at least because of Borat.

MSRP is irrelevant in this context.

90 minutes is a low earth orbit period.

A suborbital craft won’t be travelling at that speed.

The point of the EPA ranges are to be misleading.

The car manufacturers are well aware of what their vehicles achieve in real world usage.

It would be trivial for them to give and prospective buyer indicative ranges for any particular geographical area.

It doesn’t have a website, it has a motherfucking website.

And it’s fucking perfect.

Does it really?

You know?

You have incontrovertible evidence that it is all made up?

You see, what Dennis Prager said is true: if you don’t believe in God, you don’t believe in nothing, believe in anything.

I never claimed ”genocide”.

I have friends from South Africa and Zimbabwe. They’re all lying to me?

“Kill the Borer! Kill the farmer!”

Would that make you want hang around and find out?

I ask them for all of that and their credit card details, mothers maiden name, name of their first pet, first school they went to, and what colour underwear they’re wearing.

I should probably learn how to insult their mother in Hindi too.

So being prone to motion sickness can be a contributing factor to touchscreen misbehaviour?

Is this what you’re saying?

You’re really not doing great at convincing me you are a reasonable person to have a conversation with.

<knee slap!>

Reading in a moving vehicle?

Is this something people aren’t supposed to do?

[flagged]

Ah, off by one error.

Boooo!

I’ve flown a couple single engine aircraft.

I put it this way:

Commercial aviation pilots don’t really fly the plane as such. It’s more like a 1:1 real-time flight sim. They’re sort of up there having a LARP.

They’re flying in a similar sense that a DJ creates music.

This is why we can’t have serious discourse with the Left.

Not because we aren’t open to it, but because they insist that if you don’t utter the correct shibboleth you’re not worth talking to.

“Without evidence” vs “without presenting evidence”.

Batshitcrazy.

If you were to try to convince me a 2:1 immigrant to local birth ratio here in Australia is a net good for the country, you’re first going to have to convince me your a reasonable person to have a conversation with.

If you jump straight in with claims against me that I’m -ist and -ic that’s going to be more difficult.

Does the US allow duel citizenship in both counties? Does the other!

What exit taxes exist in the US if you cannot maintain citizenship in both?

> Do something bad … When you're a citizen? Nothing happens.

Nothing?

What now?

White South Africans, white Zimbabweans too, have been executed.

It’s like the dark skinned people in South Africa looked at what happened in Zimbabwe and decided they wanted to live in shit too.

Now the rest of the Western world seems to want to follow suit.

> overall a positive impact.

Wrong. Australia imports foreigners at a rate of 2:1 against local births.

That replacement.

Overall a positive impact so long as you’re not the group being replaced.

Are there any examples of white-minority countries that have worked well for white people?

Fine. No one’s likely to argue you’re wrong.

And it seems you agree: people don’t move to a new place to contribute their skills.

They move because of the potential upsides for themselves.

That doesn’t answer my question.

Are you trying to claim that the white people in Zimbabwe and South Africa are responsible for wrecking those countries?

White people are, and have been, target and killed in those place.

Easy fix.

Remove, or at least tighten the requirements, for welfare.

Your argument seems to be the equivalent of: if the (illegal? surely some of them) immigrants could get welfare they also wouldn’t do those jobs.

As welfare increases to the point where it starts to competes with jobs, it seems sensible to expect welfare will compete with jobs. Especially when you take in to consideration the expenses welfare recipients don’t incur as a result of not having to attend the workplace nor dress for such.

> The fact they're coming the US literally means its economy needs them.

Not necessarily. As just one example, it could mean one of their family immigrated for a well paying job, and now they want their parents, or other family, to join them and they don’t have skills in a high paying industry.

The presence of low income wage earners does not, by force of nature nor economics, require them.

Having said that, I tend to against minimum wage policy.

> Without immigration an imminent depopulation crisis is on its way to America.

Most countries have this same issue. Not all, but the global population rise, if current trends continue will reverse.

Can you explain to me your understanding of why that is?

And can you also explain your understanding of why Israel is the only Western country that has a fertility rate above replacement?
