I'd rather he develop a fentanyl habit.

No idea if this is true. However I can find no explanation for the amount of women Musk has left in his wake beyond plain old money and the illusion of power. Every single time I've seen that dude speak, he comes off as the most uncharismatic blubbering numbnuts I've ever seen.

Women clearly can't stand this dipshit for an extended period of time, but fuck if they keep falling for it.

I know. Someone voluntarily fucked that gila monster wearing human skin.

I'd really love to believe the narrative that the widespread adoption of LLMs will lead to a renaissance of technological breakthroughs, but deep down I know that it's ultimately going to amplify and enable the absolute worst of what humanity has to offer.

Right or wrong is rarely as binary as you seem to be imagining. It's a spectrum. Alignment with reality is contingent upon a habit of seeking better information. If better information comes along, any intellectually healthy person should be willing to accept it and integrate it into their understanding of the world.

Also - cultivate a habit of knowing that it's ok to be wrong. Your beliefs don't define you as much as HOW you choose to shape your beliefs.

We have pattern-seeking brains that instinctually crave a sense of certainty that rarely exists in reality. We always have to be aware of that. We also live in a society that unfortunately reinforces this tendency.

Don't strive to be "right." Strive to be well-informed.

Losing.

Asymmetric warfare never intends to aim for a conventional peer to peer engagement with a far superior force. We're not talking about pitched open battles here. We're not talking about occupying territory or capturing objectives.

"What happens" is probably a lot of propaganda from the fascist media outlets. They'll view it as a justification for increased political violence on their part. Probably as a pretext for martial law and the suspension or posse comitatus. Full blown military occupation.

If that happens, we'll effectively be in a state of open civil war anyway. So it won't really matter.

Christians -

The really depressing thing about this, and many other "unexplained" aerial phenomena, is that it demonstrates how many people just never fucking look up at the sky.

Mass suicide pact when?

No one said that we were relying on the government to carry out justice.

The only thing saving this country from full on state-sponsored ethnic cleansing is the fact that they keep appointing the stupidest motherfuckers imaginable to key positions or power.

Even if these are restored, the spell has been thoroughly broken.

Trump has shown that the supposedly sacred institutions intended to protect democracy absolutely disintegrate the first time a 3rd rate dictator shows up and knocks them down.

Trump has shown that the office of the presidency itself can be obtained by the most dipshit motherfuckers imaginable.

Trump has shown that our electorate is hilariously unqualified for the responsibility of choosing our elected officials.

Rebuild everything, and what are we left with but a system that is utterly incapable of protecting itself against fascism? How in the absolute fuck can we ever be expected to respect the office of the presidency again after seeing that the absolute worst among us is capable of achieving it?

At this point, I think people are just hoping that the next election will restore the illusion. But for a lot of people, the perception of what this country is will be forever compromised.

Celebrating four years of abject cultural failure spent on the wrong side of history.

Anyone who is catastrophically stupid enough to be swayed by someone like Trump is not a potential ally. They are, at best, a liability.

Conservatives are culturally incapable of true civic defiance or revolutionary action. It just isn't in their nature. They obey the authoritarian. It's just what they are.

Don't go looking to the right end of the political spectrum if you're looking for rebellion.

That isn't a dumb question. It's a correct observation.

They're about as fetishized as cuckolding is in right wing circles. The way those dorks toss that term around tells me enough to know that a lot of them are harboring a deep-seated desire to watch some dude rail their wives like they never could.

This is what the democratic party has to learn. Your sister is a sizable representation of the electorate. They have no goddamn idea how anything works. They voted purely based on vibes. You have to capture the terminally unengaged and uninformed voters if you want to be able to stay in power.

Yes. They missed the part where they specifically and repeatedly said they were going to do this. Because American voters evidently have the cognitive skills of a fucking sea sponge.
