Still trying to hang on to my sanity in today's world.
God forbid those two places actually have adequate representation in our government.
06.11.2025 01:35 β π 0 π 0 π¬ 0 π 0This exactly why the GOP don't want free elections & are trying to stop them.
Gerrymandering, closing polling places, preventing early/mail-in voting, placing election deniers into positions overseeing elections, using ICE to intimidate voters - they won't stop because they can't win free elections.
Better have some lawsuits ready to file

04.11.2025 03:41 β π 3 π 0 π¬ 0 π 0The guys pulling the strings aren't dumb. But the biggest reason they're "winning" is a lack of morals. I'm sure they think they're moral, but they clearly don't care who gets hurt by their actions, what laws they break as long as they don't face repercussions. The "end justifies the means" party.

03.11.2025 17:22 β π 72 π 7 π¬ 1 π 0They're just trying to make a quick buck, not bothering with thinking of the long term effects. It's all about trying to make themselves rich (or richer) as fast as possible. Short-sighted, morality free. When AI takes over every job, they won't care, they'll have already made their money.

Again, this precise use case is why these systems exist-to proliferate peopleβs racist (transphobic, misogynisticβ¦) imaginary at scale. This should not be seen as a βmisuseβ but rather the product being used exactly as intended.

Sports are a DISTRACTION. I enjoy them too, but way too much money is spent on them.
Trump: I don't think we're gonna necessarily ask for a declaration of war. I think we're just gonna kill people. Okay? We're gonna kill them. They're gonna be, like, dead.

Eh, I don't think a team that wins due to having the 2nd largest payroll in baseball - nearly 3X the team they beat to get to the World Series - is the best thing to hang your hat on. It's more of an analogy to the rich getting whatever they want. Not exactly an underdog story. And it's B2B WS wins.
