And that answers OPs question.

I don't think a military invasion is really necessary. An infiltration of our power structures is going to be the way to achieve their own national objectives. And, I hope I'm being dramatic, but I think Trump is paving the way for it.

Plot twist: make a one size fits all resume, but have AI tailor it and transmit it everywhere.

I think most of who you're hearing are Americans. I might hate Putin with all my heart, but he leads a different country. There isn't "chain of command" between me and him.

Edit/more blathering:

I try to avoid the virulent speech (not always successfully I admit) about Americans' choice in leadership. And to a large degree, at home, even that is outside my "sphere of influence", but I at least have an opportunity to be heard by other parts of the electorate here.

And by the way, I think supporting Trump is supporting Putin. I hope I'm wrong, but I do believe that.

We can piss and moan about Putin (and we do, I'm not sure what you're missing TBH), but investing time and emotional energy, it makes sense to start at home, where we at least should have some influence on self-determination.

Obviously the military will take a side.

But, this isn't the 1800s.

We will be pounced upon, infiltrated, and ultimately subjugated by what will formerly have been near-peers.

Weird that the person who ran for president as a legal defense and offense strategy wants to put his personal lawyers everywhere in the justice dept.

Every minute is a death and a rebirth.

He's bargaining with public opinion. Making a preposterous offer before making the one he thinks will land for him.

He's going to be on bed rest after his next eyebrow raise.

You play the hand you have.

Depending on your personal attachment to that car, your personal interest in a different car, your financial capacity, the ability to extend your lease is just another card you can play.

What is a "good deal" anyway? What are you seeking? Something pragmatic like equivalent reliability to your current car but for equal or less cost of ownership?

GOP sure loves to sexualize pissing and shitting.

Absolutely. I worked somewhere where we routinely had alarms go off due to botnets swarming us with weird (and obnoxious) massive download tactics (of publicly available user generated content, that is).

If it can be gotten by anyone, it will be gotten by LLM trainers.

It's open to the public. So, many other orgs are certainly doing it anyway.

May as well it's not like they'll be paying for many impressions.

On the Harris🤎Cheney issue, I think it's notable that the Harris turnout was actually quite large in many places, but the trump turnout was larger.

I can't remember what media I was doomfully consuming, but someone basically said Dems should not try to court Republicans to vote... because even if it works, they'll arrive at the polls and vote Republican.

I'm not aligned with Kinzinger but I don't really see the kissass vibes. I think he remains as principled as ever but he is acknowledging the new conditions of the game.

I think I've heard about enough of experts predicting the future lately.

He won't stay in power. His appointment of incompetent sycophants will dismantle 250 years of American prosperity (maliciously or negligently, it doesn't matter) and it will be sold for parts to billionaires and foreign states.

I signed up, out of curiosity but I don't have any friends there that I know about. Kinda like Lemmy, but Lemmy but works great for not having friends.

It's the extreme leaps to wild conjecture that you're asserting here that makes it so difficult to take you seriously. It's hard for me to conclude you aren't a troll. It's simply not normal or healthy to make assessments of the intentions of people who barely said anything. Not one of us is an oracle like that. In the off chance that you are intending to be a serious person who just happens to have a bad attitude and chip on your shoulder, I sincerely hope you have lovely and supportive people around you. You deserve the best.
