They’re trying to take everything he’s got.

"And unto him that smiteth thee on the one cheek, offer also the other; and him that taketh away thy cloak, forbid not to take thy coat also.

Give to every man that asketh of thee; and of him that taketh away thy goods, ask them not back."

Nope. Going on 14 years with no increase in federal minimum wage, with continuous price inflation. No access to health insurance thanks to an oversight in the Affordable Care Act that has left millions of Americans like me to be deemed too poor to receive financial help, that he promised to address during his term. He has not mentioned it since elected. For some insane reason US emissions standards have a loophole that has led to increasingly large and more polluting vehicles on the roads, with much higher pedestrian deaths. Meanwhile his single largest piece of legislation is spending hundreds of billions on more car infrastructure, so climate change will be accelerating. Housing has gotten more and more expensive as real estate corporations keep buying everything up completely unopposed by him. And all of this is just stuff that directly impacts me. That’s not addressing the union neutering he’s done, the personally bypassing congress to give Israel more weapons to kill Palestinians, the horrendous performance of his DoJ that still doesnt have Trump in court for the crimes he committed 4 years ago.

I really don’t understand in what ways I’m supposed to be better off now.

the guy that outlawed collective bargaining?

Someone having money isn’t providing any benefits to society. The hungry cant eat it, the unsheltered cant live in it, the sick arent treated by it. There are a lot of people that do selflessly help society, we call them humanitarians. Building shelters, giving food, providing treatment, doing the work that needs to be done. If someone rich is donating to the people that do these things, all they are doing is returning what should have gone to these groups in the first place. They are returning what they stole, not doing anything good for anyone.

Yes. A laundry list of reasons to not buy an Apple phone. I had no trouble finding plenty of great alternatives, what problem are you running into?

what issues do people here have with buying a phone not made by Apple?

Like going around a bar and pickpocketing enough to buy several rounds for everyone, then being cheered as you buy everyone one round. What is everyone suddenly fans of Amazon wealth now?

sure, if there were multiple shooters

Personally I believe in free will. Nothing should take any responsibility away from the one that chose to kill.

There’s no such thing as a philanthropist. She didnt make billions of dollars doing good deeds.

risk? He was already working with Russia to subvert the 2016 election. He was bought a long time ago and has been transparently working for Russian interests since.

right, because other people are paying for it.

money spent means more porn

Im pretty sure all of that was AI too, at least algorithmic in some way. Like plugging in google trends as some twisted madlibs or something. That shit definitely wasn’t human either.

Im not a fan of AI content, but I wanna do a bit better than just old man yells at new thing. If the AI content was indistinguishable from human made there wouldnt be any outrage, how would we know? AI is distinguishable, and I think the main distinction is the lack of human goals in creating the content. AI is computer, it doesnt feel joy for creating, it doesnt have fun, it isnt trying to express itself, just mimicing expressions.

So Im watching some of these AI videos, and comparing to kids shows from before AI was a thing. It’s a lot of shared elements, and any given few seconds from the AI videos seems normal. But watching it scene to scene is bizarre. It’s really bad about continuity, and there’s no story whatsoever or any worldbuilding. Which you might not associate with kids shows, but they were present, just simplified along with everything else. Shows like Dora and Blues Clues had overarching quests for the characters every episode, a continuity of events to follow, and recurring elements to remember in the next episode. These are all good learning elements for developing brains I feel, Swiper shows up and that’s activating memories, he’s an obstacle to this continuity and needs dealing with, and how to deal with it was explained last time. The AI content Im seeing has none of this

man for alleging them misrepresenting what was said, you sure are adding your own words. He didn’t say ‘economic bloodbath’. He said bloodbath in the context of losing the election, just like this news article is alleging. “Now if I don’t get elected, it’s going to be a bloodbath for the whole — that’s gonna be the least of it,”

Now if I don’t get elected, it’s going to be a bloodbath for the whole — that’s gonna be the least of it,"

the bloodbath is in the context of losing the election, not China’s cars.

I wonder how many people here never saw porn before they were 18.

What are the different rates? How much variance is there?

how many dead man switches have you setup?
