Nah its just that nice progressive people are also not ruthless murderous cunts, and thus bad at sezing power which then just ends up in the new generation of ruthless murderous cunts. Most people are pretty great which is sadly not a good trait for enacting change.

Didn’t they just destroy some moderately high profile persons career over a glitch in a self checkout? Can’t wait for random people to get murdered or deported because the scale fucked up.

I’d love to get into VR but not when a headset costs as much as a whole PC. Where is my no onboard processing hardware, tethered only budget headset? (That doesn’t record everything I do and send it to Zuck)

I’ve been getting this bleak feeling that the reason most successful hucksters seem to be dumb as rocks is because they are, and so are a huge number of people who fall for their shit. You, me, or anyone who can read words with more than 5 letters wouldn’t even try the shit they do because we wrongly assume that no one would be stupid enough to fall for it. But they’re idiots, confident idiots who think its a great idea and then succeed because there are way more dumb people out there than is comfortable to think about.

I think the rough method of discouse is Trump rambling to himself alone in his office, occasionaly someone from whatever part of the government that still knows how to negotiate attempts to translate some of these ramblings and confer them to Iran before Trump changes his mind and just tweets something completely different.

Nah LLMs can at least do grammar, the sum of the text may be nonsense but the induvidual sentences tend to be pretty perfect. We don’t yet have the technology to re-create covfefe.

On the bright side with much of the world ramping up renewables for various economic and defense purposes we might see the US and Russia fuck themselves up over oil just in time for the market to collapse.

I’m NGL If my job put in the position to be the one testing nukes it would be very tempting to do so even without pay just on a ‘oonga boonga big boom’ basis. Unfortunately I’m educated enough to know how awful that is for the environment, also not a nuclear test engineer or whatever the job title even is.

This looks like it would take more than 4 years to build properly… implications?

The notebook rules do imply either oblivion or eternal servitude though (And an afterlife to lose suddenly seems much more likely if you’re finding magic killer notebooks) Gotta trick someone else into writing down the names for you.

Honestly if I were working to establish a dictatorship in the US I would keep them around, its always useful to have a fake opposition around in order to feign democracy and you couldn’t ask for a more oblivious and toothless opposition than the democrats.

Plus regular people can get hold of drones too.

The main character of the world was that guy who did dumb shit like shipping coal to newcastle and bed pans to the tropics but was massively successful anyway, all of the rest of us were just NPCs for that one guy and now that he’s dead the rest of the universe has no meaning anymore.

Honeslty he’s not even a very good conman he just also happened to be born rich which gives him a lot of free credibility to a certain kind of person.

Its weirder than that, had someone on lemmy try to convince me that deportations, purity tests and fascism are all far left policies. Its like they’re trying to shift all their own shit onto some imaginary other.

It can be under certain circumstances, its generally desireable for a country to be able to feed itself for example, and being able to produce products yourself is useful when negotiating trade agreements. The problem is when autarky becomes conflated with isolationism.

Honestly if the US doesn’t have a democratically elected president in 4 years its not going to have a president ever, given the last 2 months I doubt there would be anything left to be president of if Trump manages to keep himself in powr for however long he has left to live.

So he’s just an outright Traitor then?

How about just ‘Secretary Trump’ or ‘Elons secretary’ it puts him in a lesser position and also plays on the fact that he’s a raging mysoginist.
