  • If I had to guess, i think most of it comes down to not wanting to understand how society works, and finding it easier to think everything should come for free to them. If I couldn't afford my car payments and someone told me that if you're a sovereign citizen, you don't have to pay, I could see how desperation could lead people to think they could get out of obligations. There's also probably a large group of influencers and scammers who are incentivized to spread this misinformation, which is how it spreads.

    It's also likely that for minor infractions, they're let off with a warning from an officer who doesn't want to deal with them, and this emboldens them to think they're correct in how society functions, until they get an officer who won't put up with them, or do something so egregious, it can't be ignored.

  • having played maybe 500 hours with controller only, maybe I don't know what I'm missing, but the controls don't seem that bad. Only thing which comes to mind as terrible is the slingshot, i never even try to use that.

  • Perhaps, but like actual hygiene, not having good digital hygiene stays with you between personal and work personas. It is troubling considering she is the Director of National Intelligence and it's something which should be a baseline requirement for the position. Regardless of party affiliation, it's competence we should demand for those in these positions.

  • And some of the time it's not to see if you're shoplifting, it's to catch cashiers who don't scan an item, but take your money, and pocket it. Far cheaper for the store to have one security guard at the door holding up everyone after they paid, then to review security footage of cashiers, or pay cashiers a decent wage where they don't feel like they have to steal.

  • Yes, i didn't mean to imply Trump is smart here, he is of course incredibly dumb. I think though that is how this works out for him, he says an incredibly dumb thing which people fixate on, and that gets the headlines. The horrible things he's doing are then in articles below the fold, and he gets away with it.

  • Mike Waltz invited The Atlantic journalist to the signal group chat, which means he probably had his phone number saved in his contacts. There's no way Trump trusted Waltz after that, and probably thought Waltz was not loyal, going behind his back talking to journalists, which was the death knell for Waltz. As long as Hegseth proves and maintains his loyalty to Trump, he can keep fucking up. Loyalty is more important to Trump than competence.

  • I feel like this is Trump trying to stretch the interview so he doesn't have to talk about the economy for long. This part was painful to watch, and Terry Moran did try to get past arguing, but classic Trump got everyone talking about how he thinks the characters M S 1 3 are tattooed on his hands, rather than having a conversation about how crazy things are that just the fact you have tattoos will get you deported.
