Well. Buzz lightyear is still alive at 96

Dude even the rest of the south hates South Carolina. First to secede.

@SenatorCollins@aussie.zone thanks for coming in

I think you’re right that this got cranked to 11 during their lives, but the leaded gasoline might have something to do with this too. Through that lens, much boomer behaviour can be described. Particularly considering that boomer stereotypes are transnational

I recently read a comment that claimed the Democratic Party was a hobby for old rich white people. It rang true

This is also my takeaway. Moving to fascistic leaders is just an expression of overwhelming pain.

It’s similar to Weimar Germany. Shame and economic dislocation are enormously powerful motivators.

If you’ll give me some rope, I think the Democratic Party has lost their constituency because they have made two errors:

1. Following Reagan, they tried to chase Republican voters by abandoning working class policies, disenfranchising workers and increasing inequality. Now, older people run the Democratic Party and they fail to see how much the landscape has changed since they were initially elected.
2. There are not many Democrats that harness anger. Anger is addictive and enthralling. The party instead promotes loyalists, policy wonks, technocrats, and extremely ineffective consultants. This has not paid off but their donors demand this sort of management.

Dang.

Yeah that’s my point, actually.

Their competitor is in the middle of a months long mistake. All they had to do was just chill.

Marco Rubio has a contemptible level of cowardice.

This is a non sequitur/ad hominem, but here is the debate where Chris Christie, a fellow cunt, handed Rubio his arse.

Also remember that Chris Christie prepped Trump for his own debates.

These people should absolutely be imprisoned.

True but most of the value of these LLMs comes from ingesting data produced by the public, with a healthy amount of copyrighted data.

Would you be in favour of class action lawsuits to compensate for the intellectual theft instead?

This should take the form of a continuous, publicly accessible investigation that only continues rather than is summarised when they retake the House.

But it isn’t and won’t be.

It will be a well put, tightly and succinctly presented, work of art of an argument for an additional impeachment and unrealised conviction in the Senate. Just like the Jan 6 Committee.

They should instead be throwing themselves into the gears of govt., but they will take the long term, conventionally optimal strategy of letting the Republicans make their mistakes.

America is so, so frustrating in the face of obvious corruption and incipient fascism.

Much nicer people TBH

Agree completely but I wanted to add: you can also get into an incomprehensible mess without vibing. Just follow the serverless flask tutorial, start writing raw SQL, and away you go!

I asked Claude today about why a coworker was getting errors and it almost exploded.

No, he will follow the pattern of buying calls on gold beforehand, then detonating a nuke in Ft. Knox so the gold supply is irradiated, making the value of his gold skyrocket.

This was in a movie once. I think it was called “The President That Couldn’t Slow Down”

The document says:

1. Popular policies wouldn’t allow us to maintain a fundraising edge
2. We lost enthusiasm because of our vigorous defence of Israel
3. Biden should have dropped out earlier, and there were people aware of the risk of a bad performance in the debate
4. Harris didn’t do enough to differentiate herself from Biden and the opposition in (yet another) anti-establishment election

What does he think he’s doing by constantly complaining about this?

Justices consider their words carefully before speaking. What could possibly be the reason beyond letting off steam… repetitively and publicly?

Is it to tamp down public criticism of the court? If so, who cares? It won’t work, and they have lifetime appointments.

Is it out of guilt because the assertion is obviously factually untrue?

Maybe some of these guys just watch way too much Fox News and conservative media. They’ve been airing grievances just like these outlets. LOOKING AT YOU ALITO

It seems more like adults virtue signalling to each other than crafting legislation grounded in reality.

Everyone knows this was never going to stop kids. It’s weirdly controlling.

That having been said, if you’re resorting to all the stuff I would have done as a tech-oriented kid to …access Meta products? Then I don’t understand you.

A senator, and minority leader, is more than a dude who complains and votes whenever they can, and occasionally calls the president an unhinged asshole on social media.

Homie could walk from skyscraper to skyscraper in NYC calling out CEOs individually and gather an insane crowd behind him doing so.

Make a spectacle, get attention, start trouble. There is a genocide and a war on. Paint “impeach” on your chest and start running around the Lincoln memorial, lol. He can do shit, obviously, because he has a huge pulpit.

But he won’t. And he doesn’t deserve this defence simply because he doesn’t have the votes.

Sick! Are there any more of these?
