Low information voters who feel guilty about voting for trump because of women's rights.

You're not one of the idiots who's vote they're trying to win.

Nah the campaign has released this prior to the book release because they think it makes trump look more balanced on women's rights.

Remember, they're not trying to win your vote, but "low information" swing voters who will decide who to vote for based on whatever meme they happen to remember.

Let's not look too deeply.

Someone's contacted her saying they'll give her a few million if she let's them write some bullshit memoirs.

No one has cared about the insignificant experiences of this vapid bimbo since she progressed from lamb to mutton, so the book needs some controversial opinions or it just won't sell.

I suspect that someone thinks this will make Trump seem more balanced on women's rights which is why they've leaked this prior to the book release.

Yeah, I've never thought that far in to it.

I guess I just think it's a way to "tease" someone without the target of the joke being them. Like, lets all laugh about what an idiot dad is, instead of lets all laugh about what an idiot this kid is.

When I was a kid uncles, siblings, and yeah parents, "teased" us by making mildly humiliating comments about which we would all laugh in a good natured hearty way. As in "fine_sandy_bottom is too short, we'll have to put sheep poo in his boots to help him grow quicker". Maybe it's just teasing, maybe it's a shitty thing to say to a child.

Playing "dad is an embarrassing idiot" doesn't have that ambiguity.

To me, post-truth doesn't really mean "everyone lies all the time", rather it means that on contentious issues, there is no single perspective or narrative universally accepted as "the truth".

In 2024, facts and information is so readily available that its possible to find "facts" to support whatever perspective or position you want, even disingenuously.

Just a few decades ago, facts and information came from news papers and the evening news on TV. There was no "choose your own adventure" nonsense.

That doesn't really have much to do with trump and Vance, they just plain lie all the time and their voters don't care, because they're "low information" voters. That's not really what posy truth is about IMO.

My kids are just toddlers but I'm so pumped to embarrass them with dad-attempts-cool-talk.

Oh man. I had blocked that sub. Silly me.

Thanks for the assist!

In Thailand they ban the major progressive party after nearly every election. Usually they've already formed another party even before the ban comes down. Often the party leaders are excluded but it doesn't achieve much and creates the perception that they're persecuted.

Can someone link me the VP debate discussion thread?

I wonder if maybe me or my home instance is banned from that community.

This is the answer.

Also what types of employers. Large companies vs small business.

Yeah.

A lot of commenters have unrealistic expectations, as though anything less than burning capitalism to the ground is unacceptable.

How dare she allow the country's largest source of revenue to continue producing oil.

I would prefer a president with a doctorate in climate science than one without.

So they pretended to show up with supplies but it was just lies and no supp.

This isn't really what OP is talking about.

We really can't see very well at all outside of the centre of our focus. this paper says 6 degrees, I heard this as a coin held at arms length.

Our minds "render" most of the rest of what we think we see.

You're right that we discard most of our sensory inputs, but with visual inputs there's much less data than it appears.

My point is that the formats we're talking about define the content. Like it's not "just a zip file" merely because it's compressed. The format defines the data that may be included.

You've misconstrued the comment you're replying to because you either misunderstood or didn't read my comment above it.

I'm not saying Trump's latest brain fart is "the great filter".

I'm saying the great filter is populations all over the world having a propensity to vote for people like Trump, who actively plan to make all the problem's we're facing much worse to further their own ends.

I've never been an alarmist, but I will say that as a species we don't seem to be on a trajectory towards prosperity, and global leaders don't seem to have a plan to correct that trajectory.

This is my take. I've never watched the purge.

It sounds to me like he's just saying the police need to be able to dispense "justice" with impunity, and in his mind that can be tempered be saying you'd only need to do it once.

It's just the latest in a long line of really concerning attitudes that the right seems happy to support.

Honestly i feel like this current lurch to the right, as we try to manage climate change, AI, and wealth concentration, is the great filter. We have some big problems and the right is just so determined to double down with all our current shitty plans.

What happens if I put an mp3 or an epub file in there with the xml? Is it still a word document?

"Women aren't qualified or able to judge because in our Sharia principles the judiciary work requires people with high intelligence," says Abdulrahim Rashid, director of foreign relations and communications at Taliban's Supreme Court.

IDK why someone would actually say this even if you did believe it were true. This guy is director of communications? Just say "The big wigs say only dudes can be judges." At least you're not giving away a quote like that.

Is this one of the stupid things he says which are hyperbole, or one of the stupid things he says that he kinda means?
