The reason tech billionaires want to AI the government, is so it can run without anyone.
AI buerocrats, AI soldiers, no use for any human thats not in the 0.001%
Anyone that thinks they’ll want billions of broke starving humans roaming around fucking up shit is delusional. When they don’t need us, were too big of a risk to keep around.
It’s not going to be a super smart AI that attacks humanity, it’s gonna be some asshat techbro telling it to.
Fuck Chuck, unless he’s resigning I don’t want to hear his grumblings about what he as Dem leadership should have done.
Either you replied to the wrong person or don’t understand what anyone else is saying
Right…
Some of the people that wanted Hillary held responsible for breaking the law also want trump held accountable.
A lot of people act like that isn’t a real view and anyone who says it just really hates their team.
That’s what most of the comments here are doing anyways
Do you have any idea what they meant by:
Not to mention the veganism which is also closely related to rejecting fascism.
Then?
Because dietary restrictions is not an effective way to fight fascism.
And I don’t want to get in a pedantic argument about modern terms applied to 80 years ago. Although it seems that’s what you really want to do
Near the end of his life, Adolf Hitler (1889–1945) followed a vegetarian diet. It is not clear when or why he adopted it, since some accounts of his dietary habits prior to the Second World War indicate that he consumed meat as late as 1937. In 1938, Hitler’s doctors put him on a meat-free diet, and his public image as a vegetarian was fostered; from 1942, he self-identified as a vegetarian.

That’s not what that episode is about…
At the end of it the boys make their own agreement with ManBearPig and refused to act against climate change in exchange for RDR2 and something else I can’t remember
The episode was commentary on how we’re still making the same mistake and not addressing the shit we need to because it would cause minor inconveniences.
Like, you just completely missed the plot…
Not to mention the veganism which is also closely related to rejecting fascism.
I mean…
Technically a vegan did shoot hitler in the head that lead to the end of WW2…
But that’s a weird way to say hitler was a vegan.
It was a joke that Trump’s plan was also to inflict as much pain as possible to the American people.
We’re going to make sure that we inflict as much pain as possible to the American people
So now he’s back to having the same platform as trump?
The one who vote Republican are saying because Dems wouldn’t hold Dems accountable, there’s no reason for them to hold Republicans accountable.
The ones who vote D are saying this is exactly what excusing illegal behavior from Dems leads to: Republicans doing it worse and with less competence making it a bigger problem.
Like, you don’t get that? It’s not exactly hard to figure out on your own and they haven’t been quiet about their opinions.
Excusing illegal actions by neoliberals we don’t even want, just makes it easier for Republican voters to believe both sides are the same amount of shitty. And makes people less likely to vote D, because D voters tend to have standards
Hell, our last president violated US and international law, but the party (at that time) refused to do anything about it. Now trump is doing it, and the same fucking neoliberals that refused to hold Biden accountable a few years ago won’t stop screeching about fucking Hillary.
You all are the reason Dems are impossible. Nobody wants a party run by uncharismatic assholes who think trump gives them a blank check to do anything they want
It doesn’t, and acting like it is why trump keeps getting elected.
I just don’t understand how people who willingly choose to spend their free time talking about politics remain ignorant to very obvious shit like this. Gas no one tried explaining any of this or do you just call anyone who criticizes a politician with a D by their name some stupid trump like nickname?
Why?
You realize taking all the Jewish people out of Europe and putting them somewhere like the Middle East was one of the Nazis original plans…
Right?
If you didn’t know that, you’d probably be constantly confused with why all types of Nazis are supporting Israel in 2025
Oh wow…
So other startups without existing dealership infrastructure so it would be easier to live Co it down like Tesla also support it?
What you’re doing is like arguing against laws protecting small businesses because if they can’t compete with Walmart they shouldn’t exist.
You’re not mad at the people that are the problem, instead you’re mad at people at the top of the temanent of the middle class
You think their disappeance would somehow transfer their wealth to the rest of us, when it will just be added to the wealthiest.
You’re ten steps deep into “first they came for” and still haven’t figured out the pattern yet.
For all our sakes, start thinking deeper
With like 15 minutes of training a random person can tell your political leaning with over 80% accuracy off a brain MRI
Pretty sure you commented before I realized and edited in the bit about an MRI…
But the training is just pointing at those two areas and saying when the amygdala is larger than average, it’s a conservative. And when the prefrontal cortex is larger, they’re progressive.
But like OP is saying, the brain retains plasticity well into old age and can adapt and change.
My favorite example is the area responsible for navigation drastically increases before studying begins for the London Taxi test and after certification. Even for the oldest drivers in their 50s and 60s.
When applied to politics it means no one is written off for good. It takes work, but people can change. For the better but also for the worse.
They do not address why manufacturers should not be allowed to sell cars directly to consumers at their own stores.
Because the laws had to exist for dealerships to exist…
Traditional manufacturers aren’t going to handle business differently based on state law tho, so not every state had the laws.
Because Teslas only sell directly, there’s no market for dealers to gain new inventory.
For other states to sell directly and establish a monopoly in that state they’d have to somehow prevent sales from outside of the state from other dealers, there’s still not a monopoly because of that. That’s why Tesla benefits more than any other brand and why others aren’t pushing as hard.
I feel like I’m having a Brawndo moment, is all this not obvious?
So does political leaning.
With like 15 minutes of training a random person can tell your political leaning with over 80% accuracy off a brain MRI
Which is just fucking insanely high in a country where 33% don’t vote.
There’s a feedback loop with conservatives and the amygdala.
And progressives policy and the prefrontal cortex.
Which is why Republicans eliminating all the parts of public education that works the prefrontal correct 30 years ago isn’t a problem we can fix overnight.
Vertical integration and monopolies are a bad combo for consumers…
What value is added by forcing people who want to buy a car to go through another entire group of salespeople adding their own overhead and cost to the equation rather than buying directly from the car manufacturer?
Because it creates competition between dealers.
Because they don’t outright own their inventory, so they are highly motivated to sell under certain conditions, and diversity of dealers means they all have to be competitive with the ones at that stage.
Like, peoples issues with car dealerships almost always comes down to experience in an area where 1-2 families own every dealership.
The problem is we’re not taxing the biggest enough, and they swallow up everyone smaller.
If manufacturers could do away with all of the dealers, it would be like every brand having a single dealer
Every complaint you have would get worse
Quick edit:
Shouldn’t need to be mentioned, but in a direct sale the consumer isn’t paying what the dealer would pay. They’re paying MSRP with no room for negotiation because only one person is selling that brand of car.
Zero “savings” is being passed onto the consumer.
Workers no longer make commissions, one of the few decent sales jobs is replaced by a guy that gets minimum wage who refills the candy bowl. Because orders are taken online and delivered to your house, the dealership is just a showroom
Like, there’s just so many reasons this is bad it’s disheartening to see so many people who couldn’t think of a single one.
Yeah bro, let’s just keep planning 3 months ahead in a class war that’s been happening for thousands of years, that’ll totally be enough bro
