I’m a big advocate for taking their money, being loud about what they wanted for it, and then just not doing it.
Bribes don’t come with binding contracts.
Take the money and tell them to fuck off.
Eventually they’ll stop trying to bribe everyone. If you turn it down, they’ve lost nothing
This is like asking if you have faith in plumbers…
But no, I don’t have “faith” in anyone or anything.
That’s why I vote and advocate for others to do so, because lots of informed voters mitigates the threats from bad politicians.
AI is shit.
Facial recognition is shit.
But none of that was really the issue here:
Lipps spent nearly four months in a Tennessee jail without bail - classified as a fugitive, she had no hearing, no interview, nothing. North Dakota officers didn’t retrieve her until October 30, 108 days after the arrest. October 31 was her first court appearance and the first time police spoke to her, reports InForum.
Arrested and thrown in jail for 108 days before seeing any sort of judge is a constitutional violation.
We hear about this because it’s an obvious wrong case to an old innocent grandma…
But it’s not the only time it’s happening. And if this happened to her, it can happen to anyone.
A lazy/dumb cop or ICE agent can just declare you’re someone they’re looking for, and by the time it’s settled your life is destroyed.
We can’t keep kicking police reform down the road.
We can’t settle for moderate politicians who say they’ll try on a few issues.
We need politicians who understand that everything is fucked and desperately needs fixed across the board.
The worst thing about being Irish is the proximity to the British…
The worst thing about being British is proximity to the monarchy…
Like, people always forget that the real problem was the French aristocrats who took over Britain and didn’t have any loyalty or comradarie to the English people.
For like 300 years the royals and English government used French, they didn’t switch to English until fear of revolt made them want to build cohesion with the masses.
TLDR:
The first victims of the “British” royal family, were the fucking British. As the Empire grew, they changed their definitions of “us” but always only after finding a new “them” to distract the British populace from the fact that foreign invaders have been ruling their island for a literal thousand years.
It’s hard to shit on an occupied people because their occupiers never stopped occupying…
It’s crazy how many idiots convinced themselves authoritarian governments weren’t a big deal…
Like, I don’t feel bad for anyone dumb enough to visit Dubai.
And it would be 100% funnier too, and still on brand for Bullock to say he can’t speak the language he’s currently speaking.
It’s been a minute, but I thought the tokens represented compute time
But then they realized people valued the idea of compute time more than the compute time.
So it became similar to crypto, where it was just used as a currency.
The part about gaining control I thought was something else, where Pied Piper didn’t have 50% of accounts on an app, just a majority. And due to the decentralized nature of their software, whoever had the majority controlled the code. So the Chinese and Gavin set up a zombie network of bot phones to gain 50% in a hostile takeover once the boys were switched from independent accounts to an organization.
But like I said, it’s been a minute and sometimes I’m wrong.
But I think they were two separate iterations of what the company was at the time
American Christian extremists do…
But their prophecy is for a Jewish ethnostate to start a war that becomes Armageddon…
And to lose that war at which point the rapture happens and everyone globally gets raptured before Armageddon spreads world wide and into “Christian nations”.
Bibi and Jewish extremists want to conquer the world.
The alliance won’t hold together. At some point the Christian extremists will abandon Israel to bring about the next step; the destruction of Israel. Because their prophecy requires the destruction of Israel.
None of them are working towards the same goal, they’re just temporarily working towards the same step, and when they reach it their plans diverege.
With the current war in Iran, the Christian extremists might move to the next step any day. We could see a sudden and drastic reversal in how Republicans treat Israel any day now.
given the decentralized State based nature of it, it’s going to take more than an external war with Iran to justify an internal canceling of the elections.
If trump was constrained by a system of checks and balances, sure.
But I think there’s a strong chance he “declares” them cancelled, Dem states hold them and Red states don’t…
And then we see what happens on 1/6.
Like, we can’t just expect them to play by the rules when there entire ethos is “fuck you, make me”.
Someone’s gonna have to make them… Whether thats words or actions is what we need to find out.
Because they don’t want to “win”…
Bibi and trump both, they don’t want a victory, they want a forever war they can use as justification to cancel elections.
Look at the people responsible for stopping terror attacks, they’re trying to make one happen thru sheer incompetence if nothing else. trump is desperate for some type of “attack on America” because he expects a 9/11 style bump in approval, when it’s likely to be the opposite reaction if it happens.
AI companies who can’t find anyone to buy their product, swear their employees would rather have their product in exchange for labor rather than money…
Which could easily be used to buy the product no one outside the company is buying.
This is just a way to juice metrics and claim this “compensation” as sales on the books.
And I’m almost positive the “per user growth” they’re talking about is just how brain rot addicts will use chatbots for everything once their brain atrophies from not using it. But just by mentioning that they had to admit that overall use wasn’t a metric they wanted to talk about.
It’s like how a small percentage of drinkers (the alcoholics) buy the vast amount of alcohol. Less people drinking is bad for the company, and a few alcoholics can’t sustain the company without being replaced by new addicts.
Edit:
Also, isn’t this literally a plot point from Silicon Valley?
Like, their desperation move to get funding at some point was handing out compute tokens, but the only people who wanted to buy it was their competitors because non of the companies had customers?
That’s literally the official story…
Israel was going to attack, which would have lead to Iran attacking US allies, so the US attacked Iran first.
It’s the same as a kid saying:
If I had taken his lunch money he’d have fought back, so instead of asking I sucker punched him and took it. I didn’t do anything wrong, it was self defense!
Like, that’s the logic our foreign policy is operating under right now.
“Aspired” doing a lot of heavy lifting there…
We just merc’d their political and religious leader, fucking obviously they would want to strike back on US soil.
It’s not that they report when someone “wins”
They report on huge bets made last minute on longshot odds.
If someone dropped 500k on war and lost, that would be newsworthy.
You seem to be operating under the assumption those are “smart bets” and not someone who knows the answer making easy money off of you and others who really are just guessing.

how hot you’re being about this
“It’s only nuclear war, why is everyone getting all worked up!?”
Weapony that the former USSR had claim to and would have been a justification for intervention.
Hate to break it to ya…
But after the dissolution of the USSR, there wasn’t anymore USSR.
Russia had claim to those weapons, just like the nukes.
Ukraine kept the conventional equipment, and gave up the nukes back to Russia instead.
This isn’t a hypothetical, this is what happened, and if you don’t know what happened, it’s hard to trust you on hypotheticals. Youre making them without all the facts
but at the time the only thing they had were nukes.
Wildly incorrect…
Like just look at any map, Ukraine was the front line to Europe, think about how much military is built up in Texas because it’s a border. Ukraine had a shit ton of all types of weaponry when the USSR dissolved
He’s not a psychopath, he cares waaaay too much how people perceive him
Not every asshole has ASPD, and not everyone with ASPD is an asshole.
