The mother of a racist is always pregnant.

this man lawyered

There is nothing holding them back to change their decision tomorrow or next week. there are no consumer rights or even citizen rights to their own data like the EU developed in the last 10 years. There is no leash on companies to pause or continue this behavior anytime the feel like it.

Andrew L. Seidel and his book presentation titled “The Founding Myth: Why Christian Nationalism Is Un-American” fit in here. He really captures some key phrases that fits very well with the topic.

The best indicator of a Trump voter in the 2016 election was not race, was not religion, but was actually the believing the United States were founded as a christian nation.

He goes deeper how evangelicals shifted over decades the perception of topics and artifacts to feed their myth. The actual Segment is only 18 Minutes long (starting at Minute 3:10) before it goes into a Q&A Session. Pretty on point how he describes the situation. Video is 4 years old…

Good news for any adversary who is looking to shop a cheap and manipulative US President

I am sure MAGA hats will cheer for this. Because it is their party proposing this and has to be good. Every rednack will love to work longer.

I almost didn’t recognized her without her hooters hanging out of a cocktail dress.

Gen Millennial here. I can assist you on your suicide that day for a hot meal so I can at least eat on that day. Maybe someone from Gen Z can assist my suicide if I leave him my blanket then.

Those polling places are not worth the ashes anyway. I can understand why people set fire to them. They are an insult to every russian who has not completly gelatinized his brain with state TV.

A real perpetrator will have a local LLM running like stable diffusion and will not need Midjourneys SAAS. Alone for opsec reasons will no adversary use a US hosted platform to create their propaganda. This will stop domestic jokers, but will not stop concerted foreign operations in any way.

Bought to you by:

• The 50’s, where every utensil from car to ovens will have it’s own nuclear reactor in the future
• The 60’s, where Mankind soon will travel through starsystems and vacations on the moon are possible
• The 70’s, where people thought that in a few years Neutron-Brains will be created that work just like the human brain
• The 80’s, where it was said that in the year 2000 we will have flying cars and hoverboards
• The 90’s, where the internet took off and soon nobody will ever send letters again
• The 00’s, that soon self driving cars will take over all transport business
• The 10’s, where a magical working all-knowing Siri/Alexa/Cortana voice will be the way people will interact with at home and on the go
• Now the 20’s, where AI will be able to recreate talent and come up with genuine new ideas never before seen by mankind

I do not think AI can recreate talent or art. AI can imitate art and copy already existing art and melt it to something new. But an Artist-AI can not take two noses of coke, one bottle of vodka and come up with a novel new concept of creative work. Sure it will come up with things never seen before, but will it resonate with people or will it just be weird, quirky or empty? It is not enough to render an image of a diamond skull, you actually have to build it like Damien Hirst. Artist of the type of Banksy, Dali and Francis Bacon will not get replaced by AI. AI will not stand in the streets spraying walls, AI will not get off board off a ship in New York holding a human-long bread and AI will certainly not be able to draw triptychs of pain and suffering based on the death of his friend. AI will copy something that looks like it, but it will not have the “Talent” or the depth to make it believable and knit a story around it and know the people to communicate to. It most certainly will be used to subvert people on social media to vote against their interests and radicalize opinions. That is it’s talent.

will seek the dissolution of a pro-reform party that won the most votes in last year’s election, saying there is evidence the party “undermines the democratic system with the king as the head of state”.

You have to read this again and again. The King does not want the reforms the poeple voted for democratically. Why even have democratic votes if in the end a king (in tank tops) will dissolve the democratic voted party.

Rocket science is hard. Do not give up Japan.

don’t let your dreams be dreams

Me for the rest of the week:

I think this is a bit too simplified. The “Government pays the bill” is not how it works at least in Germany. We have “Private health insurance” and “compulsory health insurance”. If you decide to leave the later, you do not pay into the system anymore, but have to get a private insurance (and you might not be able to get back into the compulsory insurance when you get older).

Anyway, the way the system works is that there are many insurance companies that you can choose from with different profiles that take care of the bureaucratic underbelly of managing the whole process. These company has thousands of workers to take care of these processes and guide/deny their customers services. My Insurance company alone has 15.000 employees.

If the “Government pays the bill”, then you might need something like 30.000 - 80.000 federal workers to take care of the bills/requests to guide the patients and prevent fraud. Will the government hire them? Is the plan like having a NHS like the UK?

My point is, the Government will not pay your bills. A subsidiary with a over decades grown structure will do that. I can already see how people gonna hate the new structure, as it will struggle for the first 10-20 years to define their processes and layout the services. On the other side will be people with deep pockets still using private insurance. These companies will use their money to attack everything this new government system will do and will rile up people against it to gain back the market.

I am absolutely pro-single payer system. I just hope no one is so naive to think it will be just like the graph shows it. It will be much more complex than that and people need to fight for it and endure some “finding phase” for the first two decade before one of their presidents will trash it again. I can already see fox news headlines about how people died because of the new system or how a grandma in ohio did not got the right care at the right time and therefore the whole thing is apparently a bad idea. It will be rough to say the least. I would not always tell people that the “Government” pays the bill, as many people in the us are sadly on the spectrum of cringe conspiracies and have a retention for everything the “Goberment” does. I think it is a bad idea to say the Government does everything, as it will be used against the system: People will claim their grandma died because of the Government (“death panels!!!”) and people will say the government be the one who denied their claim to getting a new hip with 90 years (“outrages!!!”) or some of the funds getting wasted for hard-to-communicate reasons (the swamp!!!) tainting more and more the public opinion of the governments work. You should better start using the subsidiary in your graph communication that will take the praise/blame for the development. Because the Government will not pay your bills.

Will americans have the voice to change the system? Will americans have the patience to overcome the problems? We can only hope so.

EDIT: Because some people missing the point: I would add a shape between the Government and the Doctors on the right. Could you draw a chart about the UK or German Healthcare-System without once mentioning the NHS or Krankenkassen? They are a n essential part of the system to work and employ thousands of workers. I think the chart oversimplified this aspect.

Do you have it in a even bigger resolution? It is super cute <3
