  • This is Donald Trump here. The vivid imagination of the collective, creative left ascribes many nefarious motivations to him and his gang, but the truth is probably that they're shorting the drop and buying the floor.

    What is more likely, that there is an evil genius grand scheme in motion, or that this is a grift by a lifelong grifter?

    Fearless predictions: if the tariffs come at all, they'll be rolled back as soon as Americans start to get mad about them.

    He will finish his four -year term and then release a book ghost written by JD Vance.

  • I understand the complaint, but the big picture of tech has a ton of upside.

    Tech itself is not the issue. How it's applied is the issue.

    Once tech takes hold, there is massive pressure to monetize the asset.

    That's where this complaint lives. Amazing advance becomes ubiquitous, then two things inevitably occur. Companies are formed that apply the technology on unnecessary and unpopular ways (parking app is a perfect example) or the pressure to make more more MORE MONEY triggers the enshittification spiral, where "wow, you can print wirelessly now!?" becomes "my printer won't take any cartridges but brand name, and I have to watch an unskippable 30-second ad every time I print now??!!!"

    It follows that as tech saturates our lives, the inevitability of enshittification will also saturate our lives.

    The year is 2044, you don't feel old but the ticker is starting to skip several beats a day. Your doctor is forced to use the product at his disposal to help you, which is the PaceXMaker produced by the Tesla-Cola conglomerate. The device is a true miracle of modern science. The size of a fingernail, it pulses electricity into your heart in carefully measured bursts to support proper function of all valves, and ensures that any plaque is dissolved harmlessly away. Your iEye tracks the device status, and alerts you when it starts to run low on fuel, a proprietary enzyme designed by Tesla-Cola. When the iEye app notifies you that the enzyme is running low, simply crack open an ice cold, refreshing can of Tesla Cola Zero to refuel your device for another two hours. Need to sleep? We got you. Hook up the Tesla Cola Zero-Venous BeautyRest to your ArmDock (patent pending) for up to five hours of relaxing enzyme replenishment. You can remove the arm dock after you confirm six ad-watch minute credits on your iEye.

  • It strikes me that this might be exactly why Rome prevailed.

    "Commander, we are poised to break the Roman line! Our time is now! Give the order and their forces will be crushed!"

    "Bruh I have like zero bars right now what the fuck"

  • Is there a form of government that is inclusive? Seems to me that the practice of working to ensure that underserved demographics are represented runs counter to the thinking of the average power hungry dickhead who gravitates toward politics
