  • At some point it’s not Donald Trump doing the damage, though. The worst things he can really do to someone in that position is expose bad things about those people during a petty temper tantrum(fine be me, let ‘em all burn together) or not pay them(which should be expected, that’s par for the course for him).

    Rudy didn’t see a good thing that turned out to be a lie and was tricked into doing bad things. He willingly jumped into a dumpster fire to support an unashamedly disgusting person. He wanted exactly what he got and how Trump treats him is just a really fucking obvious consequence of his numerous dogshit decisions.

    So as it that pertains to the article I stand by saying that she’s struggling to reconcile with the fact that her dad is just, at his core, a massive, stupid piece of shit.



  • TL;DR: She’s pretty solid, doesn’t hold back any punches against Trump and even uses some more casual and direct language to call him the scum he is. Despite her privilege she would have definitely voted democrat either way, which is refreshing.

    She understands that her father isn’t exactly the best of people but is definitely struggling with calling him out for what were, ultimately, his decisions and his decisions alone. For that, and given the context of the rest of what she wrote, I think we can give her a pass as she is related to him however the dude’s pretty top-tier garbage so I hope she comes to accept how much of this was just as much his own fault.


  • This work will have lots of applications in the future. I personally stay as far away from it as I can because I just have zero need for it to write souless birthday card messages for me but to act like the work is doing nothing is kinda stupid.

    Every stage it’s been at people would say “oh this can’t even do X” and then it could and they’d so “oh it can’t do Y” and then it could and they’d say…do I really need to go on?

    The biggest issue with it all right, for me anyway, now is that we’re trying to use it for the absolute dumbest shit imaginable and investors are throwing tonnes of money, that could solve real problems we don’t need AI for, into the grinder while poverty and climate change run rampant around us.







  • People know what an app is. They may not understand how it works fully but you’re gunna have to be ok with the fact that this is a mildly niche community and you can know a lot of tech stuff these days without being particularly passionate about it.

    Trump not knowing what an app is just shows that he’s beyond regular stupid, below even what could be considered the barest level of “in touch”.





  • Let’s not forget that they probably don’t listen to much non-commercialized country and when they do the highly left-wing, union supporting, feelings having message probably goes right over their heads. I mean it has to, they’d necessarily throw a fit if they knew what they were listening to.



  • Is there something I’m missing? They won because they got the most votes between three parties(but not a majority) and then the most again during the second round of voting between the top two. They won both times.

    Ideologies aside your comment is written like you suspect foul play or something. “It’s broken because they could never win if there was competition” is just a terrible take so I assume I must be interpretting it wrong, right?


  • The thing about the trolley problem is that the onvious answer is, when going purely by the numbers, to pull the lever. Too many people don’t pull it(don’t vote) and act like they did the morally correct thing while the several people get smushed.

    And the thing about it is that it’s not a trolley problem at all but simple harm reduction. It’s the same pool of people getting hurt, not two separate tracks. One party won’t protect as many as they should, sure, but the other party will happily throw gasoline on the lot and light ‘em up to keep themselves warm while they wait for the train to come.
