Those who try and blame Trump for Americas debt will likely Make Asylums Great Again in order to treat long-TDS

I mean yeah, it's unfair to blame him for more than about a quarter of it.

Not a mathematically sound decision to try and grab the bull debt by the balls and find a point somewhere in the shit.

Obama almost doubled Americas debt during his term, and the DEI regime was burning through trillions (plural) every year.

Comment Re:70% of middle class jobs (Score 1) 46

The billionaires have decided we're going to have feudalism and are working on dismantling capitalism so that they know longer depend on consumers and employees for their wealth and prestige and power. They are creating a world where they do not need you to buy their products. So they already have a solution to the problem it's just their solution doesn't include you.

If the billionaires were actually smart, they would have found a way to curb their incessant Greed and find balance in Capitalism to keep the peace they need.

They're so blinded by greed that they fail to realize they're the first on the fucking menu after the collapse they're creating. A person can easily defeat an ant. That same person can easily be defeated by underestimating what a few hundred million ants will do.

"Trump needs to pick fights the USA can win."

Trump's definition of "win" is not the same as yours. Trump's winning always ends in bankruptcy.

Bankruptcy is a scared child pissing themselves in the corner compared to a $38 trillion dollar debt monster.

Those who try and blame Trump for Americas debt will likely Make Asylums Great Again in order to treat long-TDS. We will see if that happens before liberalism succumbs to its own cannibalism.

Comment Re:How can we blame this on AI? (Score 1) 28

You got it backwards. If AI were involved, it would have chosen the correct file, and this wouldn't have happened. AI is infallible, neigh unto God, and humans are silly and stupid. That's the lesson to be taken from this. Remove humans from decision making, for their own good.

I envision many future catch-22s where companies both want to admit and blame AI for shit-gone-wrong, while also not wanting to admit or blame AI because they're so heavily invested in it.

or follow the "if it ain't broke, don't fix it" rule when it comes to change..

Uh, other than those who have actually gotten ESU support, what exactly do they mean by if it ain't broke?

Windows 10 support ended. From a security standpoint, it is broke.

Just gonna sit around and wait for the zero-day on Christmas morning to be reminded of the rule of Reality?

As far as trying to drag this argument into the COVID vaccines, that sounds like a horrific weak-ass excuse to dismiss the problems that have risen from those particular emergency-authorized solutions.

What problems? You mean the ones that are way less risky than unvaccinated exposure? Whatever, antivaxxer.

Risk, is not the topic that will earn you a smile from a grieving mother of a perfectly healthy child who's now dead. Let's stop pretending we can easily explain every completely unexpected death in recent times when almost all of them have one thing in common.

Anyone who understands vaccines and the human body will understand there will be those who suffer from side effects. That's not the problem here, and certainly doesn't make me "anti" vax. I'm more questioning why vaccine companies were not forced to publish all of their trial data because they demanded emergency-use liability protection.

If you're right, there is a zero percent chance of a multi-trillion dollar lawsuit being raised in America at some point. I wouldn't hold your breath.

Wow, got you frothing. Serving Russian - not American - interests in response to this invasion, as Trump and his business associates are doing, will ensure many American soldiers will need to die to repel all the coming Russian invasions their actions will engender.

Let's see if there's anyone left under the age of 55 that comes charging over the border from Russia before you start grandstanding for the one trying to impress the world with nuclear-powered firework shows that's starting to make North Korean marketing look impressive. Like I said before, it's been a long war and the price paid is death. Takes 18 years to grow a soldier. Needless to say their front-line replacements have a long while to go yet.

Not one other country has stood in support for Ukraine more than America. So don't even try and abuse some lame-ass SIGN language to throw me on the "evil" side of this conflict. War is evil, and there are no fucking winners.

On a related note, we're pretty sure North Korean citizens would likely welcome an invasion at this point.

no one fucking cares what you watched or listened to over the year. literally no one. not even you. you might glance at it for a minute or two at most but it doesn't matter it doesnt mean anything and most importantly - say it with me - NO. ONE. CARES.

NO. ONE. CARES..to PAY for shit online they use constantly.

Therefore, the ones that DO pay for all that are doing something to recoup their costs.

Lets all try and remember American GDP is derived from clickbait now. And I really don't see an obvious exception for you here, Product.

Comment Re:study confirms expectations (Score 4, Interesting) 183

It's good that there is scientific proof, but seriously, "stuff you put into your body doesn't just sit there" is the expected outcome, isn't it?

Given the rather life-long permanent effects of those tattoos and the proven fact that it is a royal BITCH to try and remove them, I’d say it’s a pretty damn strong assumption among the inked and non-inked that some things DO appear to just sit there.

Sell to to me another way.

Comment Human validation with history? (Score 1) 183

Tattoos have been around for a very long time. A lot longer than clickbait has.

Can we confirm that tattoos have had a measurable negative impact on human immunity that shows itself in longevity statistics, while also proving it was in fact the tattoo that was the cause?

Yes, I’m well aware that lifestyle choices of those sporting ink is a factor here. As well as ink technology. Now let’s account for those factors and prove the study. On the surface this should be rather easy to validate. Health and safety standards have long been established too. At least in countries that care about it.

As far as trying to drag this argument into the COVID vaccines, that sounds like a horrific weak-ass excuse to dismiss the problems that have risen from those particular emergency-authorized solutions. Don’t try and dismiss all accountability with that weak sauce.

So injecting an artificial dye into the human body can have deliterious effects! Who'd have thunk it?

Luckily - other than with criminals - covering yourself in naff tats seems to have been a millennial fad that is slowly fading. I guess they still wanted to look tough (failed) while sipping their skinny latte frappucino with whipped cream.

Gen-Z seem to be a bit body smarter.

Thats quite a weak justification to assume they’re smarter. Tattoos have gotten a HELL of a lot more expensive in the last decade, and I’d say that has a bit more influence on it. I’m not even in that age demographic and make decent money. I can’t justify the cost, and I’m not going to shame the artist by asking for discounts.

"Don't dare ask myself" ?! "Don’t CARE to admit or accept" ? Au fucking contraire, I totally concur that the shortcomings of the previous administrations led to Trump being elected. But their uselessness is over, their punishment (Trump being elected) has been dealt out, and the world's problem NOW is Trump working for aggressor Russia and betraying victim Ukraine.

Their uselessness isn’t over as long as a demented media is still defending the shit they did by trying to dismiss, forget, or ignore it. America is the actual victim of Didn’t Earn It incompetence. And as you freely admit, they didn’t leave behind a dismissible mess that is “over”. Not by a long shot.

Ask YOURSELF who Trump is working for. Hint: It's not the USA.

Fine. I will ask the US Citizen Veteran and proud father how he feels about an American President keeping American soldiers out of that war. It’ll help clarify exactly who Trump knows he’s working for. Would you still be defending a fucking auto pen sending 18-year old American kids into a meat grinder? Trump wasn’t a win. It was a necessity.

Perspective, holds significant value to educate and enlighten. If this is the “worlds problem” then maybe the other thirty-one fucking members of NATO should get off their ass and do more. Ask yourself why they’re not.
