As he has already mentioned, his mom is an alcoholic. The symptoms of fetal alcohol spectrum disorder will vary depending on what stage of gestation the fetus was in during alcohol consumption. In rsilvergun's case, he's got the whole spectrum. That explains a lot of things about him, such as short temper, short stature, weak jaw, small head (microcephaly), learning disability, impulsivity, inattentiveness, poor judgement, poor memory, poor analytical skills, difficulty determining reality from fantasy, struggling with daily tasks like bathing, and more.

You may remember that he admitted that he is a low functioning autistic, but that's actually not true, rather those are just symptoms of FASD.

Project 2025 is the result of a moral and ethical pendulum being brazenly shoved way the too far to the left

To you, the centrist (pro-corporation, pro-authoritarianism, pro-incarceration, pro-MIC — based on voting records) policies of the Democrats are "too far to the left" when actual leftism includes far more liberal ideas. This is because you are too far to the right to even see the left from where you're standing.

I'm more concerned about fighting for the return of morals and ethics, particularly for the unaccountable that helped create this mess.

When feminist liberalism manifested into the rainbow coalition representing the Democratic party, it resulted in those politics being dragged into every facet of American life. Fathers had to suddenly contend with the idea of their daughters stepping onto a sports field with a man, knowing damn well the harm that could happen. Parents had to contend with their children being exposed to questionable material being presented in schools, while being berated and chastised for daring question any of it. Parental rights became an Enemy of the State. Liberal feminism defending abortion by any feelings necessary instead of being open to any reasoned discussion on the matter. Much like immorally fighting against mandatory DNA testing at birth, which makes no fucking sense for anyone other than the lying cunts abusing loopholes to screw Not-The-Father into 18 years of Federally-imposed servitude, with threat of jail time for non compliance.

And feminists have the nerve to label masculinity as the toxic one?

Yes. I'm looking for reasoned rational approaches with proven solutions. Not assuming the worlds oldest profession can be re-defined as "empowering" under OF socialite tactics. Remembering the value of the nuclear family and restoring generational stability in America by Making Fathers Great Again, is desperately needed regardless of who is in charge of the political stick. Don't agree? Fine. Prove it by providing a viable vision otherwise.

20 years of an Afghanistan war proves no party is anti-MIC. An entire Congress not voting to remove the corrupt practice of Congressional Insider Trading (a.k.a. Pelosis Present), proves no one is anti-corporation. And we're known as the United States of Incarceration for a reason.

Right now, which is absolutely too early to tell..

..which turns every poll into nothing but political clickbait packaged with bias and fed into the highest revenue-generating echo chamber. Until it absolutely is not too early to tell.

As far as that leftward swing, Seattle's new mayor is hell bent on taxing the living shit out of everyone. Not sure how long she'll last with that strategy. We might see our first tactical recall vote. Mamdani was aggressive at first, but now seems to be learning fast enough to maybe survive the kinds of liberal policies that eat themselves.

If Democrats eek out wins with Get Trump and deliver little more than that revenge strategy, they can be assured even the GenZ men will have had enough of that stupid shit. The Democrat party will have turned into nothing more than The View. Democrats should be mindful of the small wins in battles. Unaccountability is how you lose the war. If you worry about Trump the Third Term, Imagine pissing off the constituency enough to get President JD Vance followed by President Nick Freitas followed by President Tulsi Gabbard followed by President Barron Trump, who suddenly steps onto the political stage with a commanding presence and a polygot political suave unmatched by few, courtesy of his upbringing.

Somehow I doubt Presidential Candidate Newsom followed by Candidate AOC followed by Candidate Kardashian followed by Candidate Kardashian, is going to get the win Democrats are Insta-shooting for.

Yeah, and who is stupid enough to buy it?

Not me. I don't buy junk like that. Never. And once consumers eventually wise up and stop buying such junk, it will stop. They will start reading specs and reviews and reject the nonsense. Until then, they are getting exactly what they decided to buy.

Good luck with that.

Ben Shapiro is becoming a pariah in the Republican party so good luck with that, he's a MAGA outcast now. He's also not running because even he knows the GoP won't elect a Jew. You don't even know what the right is now.

You're right. He will not bend from his beliefs. But I didn't say he would do it for some political win. He'd do the debate for fun. Much like Michael Knowles would. Or how about Elon Musk. Now we're really talking salty popcorn.

If you want to see a win for Republicans, Nick Freitas would be my choice for worthy opponent. It's not difficult to find a worthy/entertaining adversary against AOC. The Squad's most extreme beliefs are about as favored by Americans as The View is.

AOC won't be the nominee but it is hilarious to think how much shed trounce Vance. Enjoy President Newsom though lol.

Trounce Vance? I doubt AOC could hold up to an open debate outside of an echo chamber. Could she even handle a chat with Bill Maher? I'm pretty sure even he sees how gloriously unqualified she is, but he'd still debate her just to show Democrats the only way they learn is the hard way. Politely inform her that rejecting any debate is fine, but she will not be allowed to engage in childish Shame, Insult, Guilt, and a Need to be right (SIGN) language. If she refuses a debate, a 500-word essay will explain in detail why. I'm sure a bartender-turned-Presidential nominee can handle that.

At the rate Newsom is going pissing off every part of his constituency, he will be lucky if he isn't forced to leave his own state and forced to pay his own exit tax when he does. America doesn't even go to visit that shithole they can't afford to visit anymore. They're sure as hell not going to vote for 49 more states of it.

Comment Re:Capitalism is breaking down (Score 1) 83

What are you on about? Go on Amazon or any other retailer and tell me there's a lack of competition in the alarm clock market. No one is forced to buy this and alarm clocks are about as far down as a person can get on the need vs. want scale of products before crossing over into the realm of wall-mounted talking bass.

The free market is its own referee. Businesses that don't offer or stop providing value to customers tend not to have them and go out of business. No one is forced to buy this product or service. Using it as some reason to shove idiot government interventionism is as stupid as this alarm clock and subscription model.

Comment Re: Bad example (Score 2) 83

The $20 basic alarm clock I've had for at least two decades now continues to work just fine. A lot of people I know don't even have one as they just use their phone to set an alarm to wake up. Anyone spending $170 on an alarm clock has more money than sense to begin with so it's little surprise that a product prices to attract stupid people will nickel and dime them after the purchase as well.

Someone will always sell a basic $20 alarm clock and there's little need for anything beyond that. I refuse to feel bad for anyone who wastes their money on something like this even if they're being taken advantage of.

That is a bit dramatic.

Should "search" function be disabled (or "killed") as well? If you use it, it will send information to servers like Google, who will profile and track you...

Even with the AI features on, you are assuming it does something without the user telling it to. I don't think that is how this is going to work. Or certainly not the majority of it.

And it was stupid for the marketing people to call it a "Kill Switch", that isn't what it is. It is just going to be an off switch in settings, like all the other various settings.

So you're saying the doings of Trump and Project 2025 is completely the fault of the people who did NOT get voted in?

Project 2025 is the result of a moral and ethical pendulum being brazenly shoved way the too far to the left by a mindset far too immature to even care about any negative impact, much less recognize it. Blind ignorance is the ideology that fails to recognize its ability to eat itself voraciously.

This is why everyone on both sides of the political spectrum caught in the reasonable-middle-ground of perpetuating peace and perpetuity through proven values that have stood the test of time, are merely wanting the pendulum to stop cutting so deep. They're the ones paying the most.

Overt kindness can be mistaken for weakness. Ignorant kindness offers zero doubt. If you believe in human Rights and Freedoms, it is not racist to believe in quantified and validated immigration control. Especially when many other countries are in complete agreement for proven reason.
