Democrats however are too dumb to do the same and capitalize on it like MAGA was able to.

If Democrats just become MAGA idiots with a slightly different logo then you're completely fucked. If you need to be an utter shitbag to get into power, you'll be an utter shitbag in power. The Dems are perhaps smart enough to realise there's no point governing if they're going to be as bad as MAGA. May as well have the genuine article in that case.

You probably shouldn't use words when you don't know what they mean.

think female actors are "actors"

I love the irony of this statement.

This scope might even find Planet X

More like planet IX.

It's really illuminating to see people cheering on political parties like football teams. The important thing is to hate the other side. Heaven forbid you should show any ind of nuance or even think independent thoughts for yourself.

Yet, whenever I mention my app on Reddit,

Yeah but where? I mean if you're on "competitor's app" subreddit and keep plugging your own one, yes people will be annoyed and just downvote you. Or maybe the other app has a super-fan who's obessively stalking you.

The only engagement I do get are from their users calling my app AI slop and questioning my four decades as a professional software developer.

I'd suspect that the users of the existing app are somewhat happy with it and don't want to keep being plugged an alternative. There's more to life than benchmarks.

It is possible they're also running their own bots, sure. Seems pretty high effort, but some people are crazy. They must have a big bot farm to make enough to give significant downvotes. But I've also seen loads of accusations of bottery on reddit by heavily downvoted people when it's been obvious why they've been downvoted.

Governance is far worse... the whole site is a series of disjointed echochambers enforced by Nazi moderation.

You just said you got banned for being a dick without saying you got banned for being a dick.

Every subreddit I enjoy (hobbies + porn)

Ok but bro you've told us MANY times in this thread how you get your porn on reddit.

Reddit was nice enough to do it for me, by claiming that telling someone to "jump up their own ass and die" is somehow a threat of violence.

You got banned for being a dick. Was it a threat of violence? No. Were you a dick making Reddit and the world a worse place? Yep. Can anyone really be bothered to fuck around changing your ban from "banned for threats of violence" to "banned for being a massive cockwomble"? No, not really. You're banned either way.

Maybe next time, don't tell anyone to die either before or after ass-self-insertion.

Also it was loud as fuck.

I used to work under the flight path in darkest south west London. Work regularly stopped at 11 and everyone went to watch the Concorde because there was absolutely no chance of getting anything done with the kind of mind buggering noise it put out on the climb.

Make sure that it's no less difficult to build power plants than it is to build data centers and the problem becomes self-correcting.

Eventually (well kinda) but the market is only ever reactive. Most people realise there's something wrong with "Capitalism therefore it's OK kids go without power for the next 5 years". And not everyone believes that rich people should get richer at their expense for the purposes of "growth" who's benefits are only seen elsewhere.

A data center is a type of industry that wants a very consistent and fixed amount of power

Depending on how they're run. For capital expenditure, sure you want to get the ROI as quickly as possible and run it to the max. But opex ain't free and you can ramp computers up and down pretty quickly.

It's trivial to convert a peaceful protest into a violent mob by inserting undercover assets

Well clearly you're wrong. Plenty of protests against ICE murdering and kidnapping US citizens, but little by the way of mob violence against them. They've tried doubling down on cities with protests being ever nastier and more oppressive and still no ob violence. And still "muh freedoms" gun nuts cowering at home while armed masked agents kidnap people.

The world demonstrably doesn't work how you think. Guns don't preserve your freedoms, and it's not actually trivial to incite a riot on demand.

The reason for stupid ideas, like Lysenko, taking over is lack of competition, which is inherent to communism,

And yet, stupid ideas like climate change denialism, antivax and so on are doing extremely well in capitalist country like America.

We would have evolved wheels and rotor blades if there was a practical path in biology for it. Mechanical systems should not be burdened by our biological limitations. Wheel and axle systems are cheap, efficient, and reliable, and offer greater carrying capacity for their weight.

Seems unlikely, because unless you have prepared surfaces, wheels kinda suck. Actually they suck really hard.
