Guessing he made a pretty solid decision that he wouldn't even think about helping anyone for at least a year.

Hence why he's record rushing executive orders.

"Don't lower prescription costs"

"Kick out immigrants"

"No due process"

"Rename gulf of mexico"

Hell only one I can even see that's pretending to help people is "lower inflation by cutting regulations". (Obviously it's bullshit, but, it's kind of pretending to believe that corporations are in a big hurry to pass the savings onto the consumers".

God damn... pretty sure humans can't even successfully have children at 5,

But wouldn't we have to factor in like... just 5 monthers ago life expectency was so low that teenage mothers was the norm.

Not just maga, Shadow Maga.

Shadow light.

Shadow shadow

Shadow the hedgehog.

I don't think I even did have to work hard.

True, disclaimer "still used as a symbol of peace by countries that were not heavily impacted by WW2, or have strong historical reverance or current practice of Buddhism".

We're talking about the need for a system to deal with major access of a main facebook/insta/twitter etc... to a majority of people.

IE of the scale that someone can go "Hey I bet my aunt that I haven't talked to in 15 years might be on here, let me check". Not a common occourance in a closed off discord community.

Also, noting that doesn't fully solve the primary problem.. of still being at the whims and controls of a single point of failure. of which if Discord Inc could at any point in time decide to spy on closed rooms, censor any content they dislike etc...

10th largest instance being like 10k users... we're talking about the need for a solution to help pull the literal billions of users from mainstream social media

To me the reality of it is so damn stupid, If this were back to lying about quake, that's one thing. He's claiming on games with continual progression however. Of which even if you have amazing skill, it's meaningless without time. IE it would be well understood that if someone is in those leaderboards legitimately, they've been living the NEET lifestyle (IE spending almost all waking hours playing the game), not say... on a nation tour following around a presidential candidate, while also forming a new government consulting group, spending considerable time on twitter as a user... and being a micromanaging incompetent CEO at 4+ companies.

Concept is however that if a new instance is detatched from the old one... then it's basically the same story of leaving myspace for facebook etc... we go through the long vetting process etc... over and over again, userbase fragments reaching critical mass is a challange every time. I mean yeah if we start with a circle of 10 trusted networks. One goes wrong it defederates, people migrate to one of the 9 or a new one gets brought into the circle. but actual vetting is a difficult process to go with, and makes growing very difficult.

Isn't that basically the same result though...

Problem with tech oligarchy is it just takes one person to get corrupted and then he blocks out all opinion that attacks his goals.

So the solution is federation, free speech instances that everyone can say whatever they want no matter how unpopular.

How do we counteract the bots...

Well we need the instances to verify who gets in, and make sure the members aren't bots or saying unpopular things. These instances will need to be big, and well funded.

How do we counter these instance owners getting bought out, corrupted (repeat loop).

Yeah but see, it's trump 101... Do something bad, fire someone else for doing it... When americans realize their jobs are being lost to low cost H1B workers... Pretend you were against it all along, and it was all the fall guys fault.

You know I always watched cheesy spy movies and the like as a kid... where it's always like... Umm... after watching the supervillain just sacrifice minions like it's nothing over and over again... how the hell do they seem to keep recruiting them... and why aren't the existing ones running for their lives.

Defending it reminds me so much of conversations you'd hear in random discord servers..

Oh yeah I posted a swashtika... but really my intended meaning was the symbol of peace that was used around the world for thousands of years prior to the 1930s, and is still viewed as peaceful in countries that weren't effected by WW2. (Umm... no you made it knowing exactly what's popping into the minds of 95% of people you are using it).

Also would find when they'd put character names as say some random athlete or singer or something from a small country that has an N word in the name. Again dude, we know you specifically chose that name with the exact knowledge of what people think of when they see the name. Not because you think that this group is full of people who pay attention to random b list celebrities from countries that don't have a lot of english speakers.

Sounds like the typical democratic stupid plans... It's going to take some real ego or stupidity for trump not to turn this into a public opinion win.

I mean... if you are asking me based on the evidence I have seen... yeah.

On the other hand, if I lived in new york, and were selected as a Jury.... I'd say the evidence is not compelling.

I mean, the word criminal basically means law breaker.

Now as many laws are unjust and many horrific actions are protected by the law.

Just like at one point in time... a futitive slave, would be by definition a criminal, and his owner by definition not a criminal.

Again, the whole concept is noting that it's about the definition of the word criminal... and that criminal does not have to do with morality.... only in concurance with the laws of the land it is taking place in.

I mean really depends whether or not he manages to continue to succesfully own the US government. He made basically statements along the lines of if trump loses the election he could go to jail. I assume he's betting on either the trump administration killing democracy... or being able to buy the next election too. Or perhaps just often enough that the supreme court never gets fixed.

I thought that was kind of the point... people started using red note because it was openly what the government fears Tictoc could be as a form of protest.

What's next a news story that says people printing out their browser history and dropping it off at the chinese embassies, might be giving their private data to china?

I mean it's pretty simple common sense there... in a shooting.. shits happening fast. In an emergency the order of process is, get yourself somewhere safe ASAP, Then consider calling.

Teachers have much harder responsibility... because they need to get their students in as safe of a position as possible, then themselves... Then try to contact help. So teachers aren't likely to be in a position of relative safety to call, until after the whole classroom has already been in such a position.

On top of that just numbers... obviously there's 30x more students than teachers... so just on a numbers basis in a free for all, when someone is in a position to make the emergency call, it's just statistically more likely to be a student.

While I agree, to the best I can see, so far I don't see his original claims as being anti-war. Yes he said he was progressive... but the specific examples I find of his old stances were healthcare etc... He does appear heavily neocon now, and he's largely silent on the issues he appeared progressive on. Which isn't super shocking as they are largely not the focus right now, as no one is talking about them.

IE you can't directly call it a two faced flip until he takes the opposite side of a stance he formerly took. I mean it's still fishy as hell and he's clearly making no effort to bring the issues that he ran on into the spotlight... but it's very hard to judge if he's flipped a stance, or just put his best foot forward.

I'm currious because there's 3 theories to fit the concept.

1. He's two faced... when surrounded by left leaning people he's saying "yeah I'm going to tell trump he can suck it to his face!!!", then in front of the right leaning people he's actually bending the knee.
2. He's being sarcastic, and trump is too narcisistic to see it.... IE see the right leaning people who can't understand how Colbert left their side.
3. He's being civil, simply talking about what they can agree on and work with... and trump is calling that great.
