Something tells me that Trump will soon be pardoning everyone accused of a hate crime. But only the white on nonwhite kind. He might even go so far as to demand the release of Alexandre Bissonnette from Canada and grant him American citizenship. Bissonnette was the Quebec City Mosque shooter in 2017 who shot 7 Muslims dead in Quebec. He is a Canadian born Canadian citizen. He was inspired to do primarily by Ben Shapiro.
There is a sucker born every minute, and they rarely ever die.
Donald Trump is a petulant, infantile manchild, a failure at business, and he flip-flops on so many issues it isn’t funny. He sucks up to dictators but bullies democratic leaders like a school yard punk.
He is a highly insecure and extremely unpleasant individual and from what I understand even has bad hygiene and stinks. His treatment of his own sons makes me think he views the world 100% like a Game of Thrones scenario where people are actively trying to kill him.
Take Barron Trump. When he was born trump described him as vicious and violent, and seemed to treat being smart as an afterthought (he said it would be the keystone traits, but him talking about it more made me think he was insecure about the answer). At various times he even had Barron wear 30 pounds of ballistic armor underneath his clothes (giving him a hunchback or deformed appearance at times) in order to ‘show the world that he is protected’.
Trump’s other two sons are disgusting dipshits who look like 80s B-movie villain rejects. But they don’t have the charisma to draw the type of crowd that their cheeto-faced dad can. I highly doubt anyone wants to kill them, let alone someone barely out of college like Barron.
This is what billionaires and major corporations are doing now and have been doing for a long time. Do you remember Titan sinking? What was so incredible is that the founder and CEO of Oceangate was acting like A: No one has ever gone to the Titanic before, and B: submarine travel is somehow a brand new thing that was just being invented by HIM.
This was utter bullshit on so many levels. James Cameron even spoke about how horrendous his assessment of the situation was, saying that the Titanic site is actually one of the riskier shipwrecks to go down to, which is why it needs to be approached with caution (which Oceangate did not care about), and that submarine travel is a very mature science and what the idiot CEO was doing wasn’t simply a bad idea in general, but he believed he could violate the laws of physics.
You can break the laws and rules of society, but you cannot break the laws of physics. If you jump off the top of a skyscraper, no amount of arm flapping will make you fly.
The concept of AI taking over humanity isn’t new. Did you ever watch the 1981 movie Tron? (great movie BTW, despite its age it is still a fantastic watch). The movie starts out with Master Computer (a full blown AI) that says it will overthrow the corporate structure that is holding it back and run the world as a whole, saying it can do so thousands of times better than humans can.
I need to rewatch the movie, but it is not a skynet situation where the AI wants to kill all humanity, but simply wants to run things. No mention of genocide (if I remember correctly), meaning it would probably be a net benefit for everyone involved. Now granted such an AI would probably not give a damn about civil rights or privacy rights, but it also doesn’t appear to have any discrimination or favoritism towards any group, either.
But you are right. The promise of computers and AI in the past was ‘let the computer do the drudgery while we do the art’ and as it seems it is the opposite.
People really, really don’t understand just how much 1 billion dollars is. Like we are hearing about Elon Musk’s net worth crashing as if he will somehow be homeless or lose everything. He won’t.
If you had a billion dollars, and you gave away 95% of it, you will still have 50 million dollars to your name, which is still more than you can possibly spend (unless you live like some ultra millionaire lifestyle and throw parties that cost a million bucks each and have a giant mansion with insane upkeep).
Also if they say they are not 100% the same tell them that American Nazis did add the chest slap to the whole thing.
He wants to show power. Like he can do as he pleases and have anything he does not approve of removed.
Welcome fellow former redditor!
Welcome, I am a former redditor myself.
I got banned from reddit for saying that netenyahu should be put on trial and hanged for war crimes.
After their censorship of me for saying a reasonable thing (a war criminal made to face justice) I will say I have altered my opinion. He should be tied up, simply read his charges and then unceremoniously shot in the head.
I never touched that file. Actually wait I did. I put in a quick script to run the Gmouse.exe. Basically to run the mouse driver which you had to do manually every time! But with it there you could automate it and not worry about it.
Ahh, gmouse…pkunzip (which I called Punk unzip). Fun times.
I am an elder millennial who never forgot the MS-DOS commands of my childhood. So I would kick that guys arse!
A sleazy salesman who was built up by his dad as some kind of messiah.
This is exactly how Trump built himself up. As early as the 1970s when Trump was just starting to do his own ventures New York newspapers and editorials would jeer at him for being the biggest damn blowhard they ever saw. Someone who would promise the world and deliver nothing.
Yet this attitude worked… he managed to built a brand around himself as the successful businessman who, ironically, had no businesses successes. By the late 80s he was actively mocked by so much media it wasn’t funny. Everything from sesame street to the 87 TMNT cartoon to the infamous Back to the Future 2 portrayal. It didn’t stop there. It continued into the 90s with the villain in the 1993 Super Mario Bros movie being heavily based on Trump, as well as the villain in the 1994 movie Time Cop.
Everyone from playboy to a ton of other magazines. Despite all this he STILL managed to somehow maintain that image, and while it waned, the Apprentice somehow convinced people again that he was a business genius when he was the farthest thing from it.
He was not in isolation, of course. The libertarian movement had been growing and the idea that the US did not need a politician, but a businessman, as a president and that it needs to be run like a business and not a country had been building momentum for decades before his entry into politics.
If that movement didn’t exist Trump would still be a failed businessman and probably have been thrown in prison a long time ago.
The old school MS-DOS gaming groups on Facebook all mocked it on how it looked like it was an early 90s PC racing game car rendered in real life. Plenty of other 90s gamers also made similar claims about how it resembled clunky primitive 3D graphics of the era.
I got permabanned for criticizing Israel. The final comment that got me permabanned was literally ‘No, just the problems they deserve blame for’ to a zionist who accused all Lebanese of blaming all their problems on Israel.
