Men have zero right to the unborn child; you are as delusional as a pagan.

The female decides as shown in tons of animals even to the point where the males of many species evolved to draw favor of the females. Perhaps you do not notice how much bullshit females have to do in our societies to appeal to men? We've artificially gone against nature; which in a way, brings some form of balance. I've not met a man who thinks he has a right to dictate pregnancy who is not a selfish prick. They would never give up their autonomy and carry a child for half term against their will.

You should want the women you dream of raping to destroy the evidence and if one is drunk enough to want your child, they will come to their senses and realize it's best for society if you remain out of the gene pool.

incel. You are not a true "geek" if you are in a cult... or do you multiplex in your schizophrenic delusions with your computer use? I would say go to college and try to learn something but it has gotten so bad you might even find a place that would let you remain sheltered and unchallenged; perhaps, even let you remain in your basement the whole time.

Comment Okay so here's the thing (Score 1) 119

Trump's policies are destroying the economy. The tariffs are a massive tax on the American people that he is using to replace taxes billionaires used to pay. That's causing inflation as is that stupid war with Iran that he was hoping would cause of terrorist attack on us soil he could ride into a midterm win and maybe even a third term.

This means interest rates just went up and have a quarter percent and won't be going up another quarter percent.

The goal of raising interest rates is to trigger a recession by causing layoffs. This forces Americans to blow through their savings and take pay cuts resulting in lower demand which is supposed to reduce inflation. It's balancing the books on your back.

All this means the economy is close to collapsing because of what Trump is doing.

Spending on AI slop is propping up the stock market. If the stock market collapses that's the final thing Trump has to point to to say that the economy is okay to people who are disconnected from the economy.

We have a ton of old folks who still vote Republican and who are basically not connected to the economy anymore. They are retired have a lot of money saved from when Democrats used to be in charge and kept the economy strong and don't need to borrow money for things like a house or a student loan because government subsidies paid for theirs. As the saying goes I got mine fuck you.

But they're not 100% insulated from the economy. Things are getting bad enough that they're starting to be affected. We have also massively cut the subsidized healthcare they depend on but most of that's going to kick in after the midterms. Still most of their money is sitting in the stock market because that's how they stay ahead of inflation.

Trump and the Republican party need those voters so they need to keep the stock market going and they need to keep the economy just barely functional.

This is why even though AI is intensely unpopular Trump keeps pushing it. He needs it to prop up the economy in response to all the insane stupid things he's doing and to protect the baby boomers and older Gen x just long enough for him to throw them under the bus with the rest of us after it's too late for them to do anything.

Submission + - America PAC's VoteSafe.org is nothing but a honeypot (cybernews.com)

echo123 writes: Elon Musk’s bogus voter registration website is collecting extensive user data and selling it.

The website was funded by Musk and is operated by America PAC, a conservative political action committee founded in 2024 to support Donald Trump’s presidential campaign.

The VoteSafe.org website has been promoted as a way for Americans to register to vote and check their registration ahead of the November midterm elections.

But MeidasTouch and Snopes found that despite presenting itself as a voter-registration resource, the site doesn’t actually register users to vote.

The site's privacy policy says America PAC can collect information, including:

        Users' names
        Dates of birth
        Addresses
        Email addresses
        Phone numbers
        IP addresses
        Location
        Information about how they interact with the site

It also permits the collection of "inferences" about users, including their preferences, characteristics, behavior, attitudes, and psychological tendencies.

The policy says the information may be shared with or sold to business partners for targeted marketing.

There are a few idiots here who still seem to like trump. I note that they all stay away from stories about him doing the more randomly stupid things, because those they can't defend whereas everything else can be blamed on Obama, burden or Hillary or some sort of 1D connect 4 or whatever game they think he's playing.

I'm other words they do actually know, but they just hope the right people will get hurt anyway.

All those years ago:
“ ‘Stupidity is a more dangerous enemy of the good than malice. One may protest against evil; it can be exposed and, if need be, prevented by use of force. Evil always carries within itself the germ of its own subversion in that it leaves behind in human beings at least a sense of unease. Against stupidity we are defenseless. Neither protests nor the use of force accomplish anything here; reasons fall on deaf ears; facts that contradict one’s prejudgment simply need not be believed — in such moments the stupid person even becomes critical — and when facts are irrefutable they are just pushed aside as inconsequential, as incidental. In all this thestupid person, in contrast to the malicious one, is utterly self-satisfied and, being easily
irritated, becomes dangerous by going on the attack. For that reason, greater caution is called for than with a malicious one. Never again will we try to persuade the stupid person with reasons, for it is senseless and dangerous.”

1) Openly, this gets others competing rather than secretly doing things - it's cheaper and easier to openly to this shit than to have to hide it.
2) nukes from space cuts response time in half; missile detection is even more difficult. Now you have a few minutes to respond... not that the default auto global suicide gets changed in the approx 6 minutes while they rush to move the president to a bunker; who likely doesn't make it.
3) accidents with nuclear materials in space = huge problem for centuries
4) end of any space travel!
I probably could buy enough of a weapon to launch covertly that would make a junk tracking / dodging nightmare. A bunch of tiny tungston cubes dispersed cleverly; they could be the size of sand and when orbiting at 18,000 mph they'd leave quite the "micro" hole in your gear... assuming your gear is not traveling in the opposite direction, but in that case, double the impact speed. Maybe a marble dispenser that aims and launches them would work better. Then you have all the damaged junk you create compounding problem.

If somebody made a comicbook character who's superpower is STUPID; they'd be too ridiculous if they were modeled on these fucking idiots!

Submission + - The brain is actually two completely separate organs (stanford.edu)

Beeftopia writes: From Stanford Medicine:

"For centuries, scientists have thought of the brain as a single, unified organ. But new research led by Stanford Medicine reveals that what we call the brain is two distinct organs that evolved independently over hundreds of millions of years."

The adult brain has three main regions: the forebrain, midbrain and hindbrain. Scientists could never create hindbrain neurons.

"Previous attempts to make hindbrain neurons likely tried to coax forebrain and midbrain progenitors into hindbrain cells, which our study shows is not possible,” said researcher Rayyan Jokhai.

"The researchers’ breakthrough came from studying the earliest moments of embryonic development, during a stage called gastrulation when the body first takes shape. Jokhai and Dundes discovered that the hindbrain follows a separate developmental path, running in parallel to — rather than branching off from — the pathway that creates the forebrain and midbrain."

With this knowledge, researchers were able to create hindbrain neurons.
