You did it again! You just invented something in your own brain! You're arguing against yourself - and losing.

Do you realize that you are having an argument with intrusive voices in your own brain? Or not?

I notice this all the time with TDS sufferers: they invent something and rage against it.

Epstein ran a child rape ring against Americans for Israel. If the truth ewere known, the existence of Isreal would be threatened. Isreal requires an external sponsor to exist. That sponsor is the USA, and if it weren't us, it would be Russia.

Israel has a right to exist!

Don't drive them into the hands of Putin, antisemite.

Besides according to the Left, MAPs are just a sexual orientation like gay. Oppressing them is fascism.

Trump took the EU to the woodshed. They had to drop all of their protectionist tariffs they have against AmeriKKKan goods(I thought protectionism was ad?) and in return America puts a 15% tariff on all of theirs. Moreover they had to write a check to us for hundreds of billions. The tariffs will bring in a shit-ton of money. We can use this to replace the income tax and repeal it entirely.

The usual TDS sufferers are screaming it's a tax on AmeriKKKans but it's not. When's the last time an American bought anything made in Europe? I mean one of us, not the CA/NY American passport holders who write the media articles describing what happened.

Hey, I've got an idea - make things in America and there are no tariffs. It's weird but worth a shot, it could work.

On the contrary, it will have a ton of good effects. All DoS attacks will stop. Fraud will crash and stay there. Email spammers will go away. When alt-right trolls get banned, they will STAY banned. Forever. Imagine an internet without them. A boot stomping on 4chan's face, forever.

This is going to fail bigtime. Nobody will move there for jobs. As a tech professional, I would rather eat glass than live in a flyover state. I have in-demand skills and I have zero desire to live in places that are small minded, lack immigrants, and lack interesting and rich culture. The tech sector is chock full of diverse immigrants and unique people who have no desire to live in a conformist mono-chromatic culture. Tech talents don't want to eat breakfast at the Waffle House.

I watch dogs (primarily overnight--most for 3-7 days but some 1 day and some >7d) via Rover. I make around $1500/month (pre-1099) and after their ~20% cut (of which most people give back to me in tips).

I WFH so the largely passive income is nice. I wouldn't have found as many people w/o a platform to do the heavy lifting for me in finding new dogs.

I am not advocating that we need to have these sorts of things in the market, but it does make for nice extra cash. YMMV.

Do you realize you had an intrusive thought, wrote it down and started railing against something that nobody said? This is literally Trump Derangement Syndrome. Please, see a therapist. CBT does wonders for people in your situation. Don't suffer needlessly. It doesn't have to be like this.

They're not in the home gym business. They're in the data harvesting and selling business.

Your data is worth more than the profit margin on their exercise equipment.

This is the world now, and you cheered it on all the way.

Even Google won't allow you to watch random Youtube videos any more without "sign in to prove you're not a robot". Google, the original evil privacy rapist.

We got a solid ten years out of them before they went evil, I guess that's pretty good. LLMs are where Google used to be in the year 2000, an improvement on search engines that blow the existing products away. Remember how awful search engines used to be? Then Google delivered actual good results. Then they took away the + and - operators and started censoring politically inconvenient content by removing it or demoting it to page 137 of results.

You're absolutely correct.

Probably, if they used the blunt language, people would actually start paying attention and want changes to the investment process. But the word salad obfuscates the issue enough that people's eyes gloss over, and they move on. So the Status Quo is protected.

At last someone is willing to tell off the little people to their faces. It's heartening to see even in this day and age of open nullification of federal power in California and others that someone supports the US government. You tell those deplorables how it is! Speak truth to the powerless!

The curriculum no longer teaches these dead white European men. In their place are Ibram X. Kendi and Gloria Steinem. Kids want to study scholars who look like them. Not pale, male and stale. "Sorry submitted by alternative_right. Oh , I see. Slashdot made the jump to full national socialist. Jew rape gangs, am I right? And Israel is racist apartheid state. Anything else to add,natzees? I thought your only book of philosophy besides the Bible was My Struggle by that failed Australian painter.

This is 100% pure "AmeriKKka First" Trumpism. Donald trump is Hitler. Congratulations, you're a horrible person.

The C-Suite is filled with ignorant people who have made a career out taking credit for other people's work.

Now they want to pretend that the "AI is writing the code" just because a developer is making use of it.

All AI is doing is giving CEOs an excuse to called yet another group of workers, "unskilled."

Negative. The bird issue was from environmentalists.

Now tell us your conspiracy theory about how the fossil fuel industry secretly funds them. And then your other theory about how Jews ran a child rape operation against Americans for the benefit of Israel. Do you have a newsletter we can subscribe to? Someone with important ideas like your must not be silenced!

What happened to the drinkypoo account? It was always solidly left and on the side of the little guy. Here it is cheering for the boot if oppression. You don't expect this bootlicking behavior by leftists until COVID.
