Is there a decent thread on the facts somewhere? I am still trying to wrap my head around how they connected the subject of the shooting video to the subject of the crime stoppers picture. There are so many diffs it’s like a Mad Magazine bit.

The Burger King

Honestly Dems look like a Karen standing at the counter with her mouth wide open, looking at the other customers for justice after the manager told her to go f*luck herself. And nobody seems to care.

Karen needs to learn that she doesn’t get to set the rules. She needs to shut up and learn them if she’s ever going to get satisfaction.

65% of veterans voted for Trump.

We are still working on legalizing abortion with a simple law after 50 years. These things take time.

My point was that defending the pissing contest over standards that gave us consumers six ports instead of one to do all the same tasks really misses the mark, imo.

Yeah.   AI may grind for a while but hardly anyone has put the current stuff to work, yet.   We will be feeling the benefits of what is released right now for a decade to come.   I am working on a very rudimentary application that will use ML at work and it won’t come out for 12 more months, and it hardly does anything but make the most obvious decisions 10m times faster than I can.   But it’s going to fundamentally change our labor model.

There are regular folks applying amazing technologies that go way beyond content generation.

The tech may grind but the application of that tech is barely getting its feet and should run hard for a decade.

That’s what prisoners say. You are so conditioned to it that you prefer it.

Look at all those ports I’ll never need

We should have had USBC 20 years ago.

It’s not that I don’t want them to fight it is that their drive to fight this fight is distracting them from the real fight. And every time we engage on this level we ignore the systemic issues. The issues are not gay rights or book burning or taxes. The issue is democracy and money in politics… it is simply impossible to fix any other issue without fixing those two. First, anyone who tries to sell us anything but those two initiatives are not acting in good faith and are being selfish with their personal goal or acting nefariously. Folks who really want to solve the problem will look for the real problem and stop chasing at all of these little triggering red herrings. There are literally hundreds of these issues and none of them matter at the end of the day. Getting good people involved in government is another one of those lies. And it’s interesting you brought up being a cop because that is probably the only profession that is more toxic to good people than politics.

The whole thing needed a reset for decades. It’s a shame that Trump got to be the one to do it. But the Dems proved they couldn’t handle Trump and they were not ready to lead the country against his handlers. Out maneuvered again and it’s getting embarrassing at this point. Like it or not, Trump is painting with the same brush he used in the election, and it’s still working for him.

Why would I ever advise somebody I care about to enter a field in which they will be completely devoured alive or droned out from the heart out?.

You need to take care of yourself and your own mental health first before you start entering into endeavors that have very little chance of succeeding. The government is orders of magnitude more powerful than any individual or any group, and has way too much momentum at this point. The only thing we can (practically) do is let it spin until it breaks. We’re not organized to do anything beyond that. Aaron Sorkin set us back 15 years by writing about this stuff like it’s Camelot.

Yes. Name one useful product Google has released in 15 years.

I can think of one (assistant/gemini) but it actually gets worse every minute so it supports the main idea that shits lame for a while now.

Less Luthor

I don’t know if this is a good enough reason to encourage someone to work for the government. It’s a dead end for good people so you need to play the game, be happy with being a drone, or leave.

No movement is going to stop the momentum at this point. This reactor is going to have to spin itself faster until it breaks.

A trillion? That’s it? That’s literally the budget deficit after Trump’s corporate tax cuts from 35% to 21% (18% to 11% effective) .

Repeal the TJCA

What’s next?

Apples existed, but they looked and tasted nothing like they do now. Today’s apples are sweet and swole and that’s brought to you by selective breeding and a growth strategy that extended beyond cider to dominate the mobile phone industry.

So, a chart?

Old person thanks you

The corporations are people too!
