Unstable:
      1. ditching American allies (just about every one) over perceived slights to Dear Leader,
      2. attempting to curtail voting because they might vote Democrat but positing the inane travesty that "illegal" immigrants are voting (no evidence),
      3. promoting fossil fuels while the American West dries out, forest fires in Canada and the U.S., glaciers worldwide shrinking, Europe's rivers disappearing, all the while claiming global warming is a hoax. . . . even the planet appears in on the Conspiracy,
      4. promoting the South and slave owning as beneficial for blacks,
      5. coercing soldiers to take testosterone supplements because some idiot in charge gets his science from FOX news,
      6. judges telling the Justice Department there is no more regular order, i.e., presuming the Justice Dept. isn't lying their asses off and demanding evidence,
      7. electing a convicted fraudster and flim-flam man pres, even after also convicted of sexual abuse and then convicting him again for defamation against the woman he was convicted of abusing,
      8. ditching environmental rules because pollution is good for everyone, especially when the polluters pay kickbacks to el Bunko,
      9. standing up a Geheime Staatspolizei* to kidnap people off the street because they look brown or have been living here too long "without papers", and sometimes killing people in the process,
    10. shaking down companies for contributions to Dear Leader in exchange for gov. favors thus increasing his total take to over $2.8 Billion (that we know about) in under two years and turning the gov. into protection racket,
    11. Setting up a Fascist state with the gov. taking stakes in private companies thus protecting them from competition and creating an uneven playing field,
    12. Setting up some whack-job of a commission that claimed billions in saved tax money when in fact it was less than $50 million but cost much more in side-effects,
    13. fucking up the lives of millions of migrants whose only crime was to come here, get a job and see their kids do better than they, in short, the crime of believing in the American Dream,
    14. Pop. the fed. bench with crooked judges who will bend over backwards and forwards (they are not particular) to satisfy the el Bunko's whims,
    15. Starting was with Iran and losing the Strait of Hormuz to them causing gas prices to be jacked up,
    16. Curtailing alternative energy so Americans are tethered to the oil market with little means of escape,
    17. promoting data centers everywhere with their pollution and noise and jacking up peoples' electric bills,
    18. paying off those nice billionaires who desperately need more money to make up for their short dick length,
    19. feeding those nutjobs in Silicon Valley who really want some sort of Singularity and setting the world on a path to environmental catastrophe because they figure the their Singularity machine will discover warp drive and allow them to escape the catastrophe they caused,
    20. making America reviled throughout the free world but loved by dictatorships,
    21. pardoning criminals who attacked the Capitol on Jan. 6 because el Bunko's ego. . . .shrinkage.

Nope, no stability issues here!

* Geheime Staatspolizei is the long name of the Gestapo

Critical infrastructure to the internet. But it's good for corporate profits when we do that because it means you can have remote monitoring on a dirt cheap Network. And corporate profits matter more than your water supply.

We will build our own inputs with blackjack and hookers!

It was supposed to be about jobs coming back but it looks like it's so painfully obvious that was a lie even the Trump cult can't pretend anymore. After all Donald Trump's own commerce Secretary admitted on television that even if the factories came back the jobs wouldn't because of automation...

So now it's no longer about jobs I guess it's about making a deal! I feel like that's a shift we didn't notice the TDS crowd make.

It would be hilarious that manufacturing jobs have gone down thanks to Trump's bullshit if it wasn't so fucked up and tragic. We lost 23,000 jobs last month I can't even imagine. And still his cult are waiting for orange Jesus to save them. There's video of people crying because they're approaching bankruptcy and homelessness pleading with Donald Trump to save them. It reminds me of North Korea really

Only because we do not cost in the damage to environment for carbon based fuels. A lot of good all that energy does for us if the U.S. turns into an arid desert. The American West is well on its way.

"The modern left exists to funnel billions and billions of dollars from taxpayers to billionaire oligarchs. "

What a crock. You have nothing with which to back that up. Repeating FOX talking points is rather lame. Hell, I can just listen to a White House press conference for those.

Dude it's a bot. America is in the middle of its election cycle and this midterm is a huge deal because it could potentially slightly reign Trump in and slow down project 2025.

Sad thing is if we had spent all the money the billionaires are going to spend on this election on jobs we wouldn't have lost 23,000 of them last month

Because the weird Astro turfers show up on this dying forum. Normally nobody's going to pay it somebody to post to this dead old technology forum but when we're going into an election season yeah there's unlimited money. It's really bizarre. As if anyone cares about what anyone around here says or does.

But when 90% of your news media is billionaire owned and they have literally trillions of dollars because we gave it to them I suppose it doesn't matter how much money gets spent on propaganda and Big brother bullshit like this.

It is weird seeing the levels of TDS. We lost 23,000 jobs last year I see people crying and pleading for the Donald to save them. I don't understand why people can't put two and two together and get past their crippling addiction to Trump but I guess that's what happens when a third of your population joins a cult

To shut down their wind farm. Big oil-funded Trump and it paid off big time. The same goes for pooty poot.

When you run a government like a business it's not there for you it's there for the owners. And if you're reading this you are not an owner.

"Or technocrats who believe they're going to become gods... and want the rest of us dead."

Yep, pay attention to what Andreessen, Thiel, Elmo, Ellison (he and his sprog), Kurzwei, etc. and their fellow travelers are saying. They want the world to put a data center in every backyard and some (most?) insist we are not using enough energy. Their idea is that we're destined for the "stars" and that they are sooooo (*^(&*% intelligent that they deserve to have their brain patterns (what the hell are those, precisely?) transplanted to silicon so they can survive the coming ecological disaster they are intent on creating. They cannot get their heads around that you cannot get to the stars from here. And even were they to send their bot selves there, the bots would suffer hardware breakdown long before they crashed into a destination star.

They are the dregs of society, they understand nothing of import. Frequently, they have no science degree and get their "science" from tired old Sci Fi mags and movies. Now they have enough money to swing elections to force feed their ignorance to the electorate. They themselves are quite stupid, and there is no fixing stupidity. Stupidity is not equivalent to ignorance but they excel at both.

They did when they created the FCC and gave the Executive the power to appoint its chair.

Social media does have a place when it's actually social media which means it's meant to bring like-minded people together to socialize.

So it can be a good thing when it helps you find a friend group or a bunch of guys to play Warhammer with or whatever.

The problem is that as soon as profit motive kicks it the goal is going to be to get as much engagement so you can do as many advertisements and steal as much data as possible. What's worse is that these platforms make money either by selling your data or advertising. The date is selling is obviously bad advertising by itself should be relatively harmless but online advertising just doesn't work. It's barely functional for branding exercises at best and completely useless for direct sales.

It is however very good at finding suckers and marks and people to victimize through advertising so virtually everything on social media being advertised is a scam. It's actually a great way to find out if something is a garbage product look and see if you can find ads for it online when you're in private browsing or using a VPN and if you can odds are good that product is trash.

But only after you have spent tens of millions of dollars fighting the Trump doj.

The point is to drain resources because Trump has unlimited resources because he has the federal government behind him at least until 2028 and maybe even beyond that.

And that's going to continue as long as Republican primary voters slavishly do whatever dear leader says. Trump doesn't win every primary he endorses for example he tried to endorse the brown person and that's just not going to fly into Republican party. But he's got enough hits that a fair amount of Republicans are worried about being taken out during a primary election from their safe districts and states.

It's still a better framerate than the 3DO version.

which are?

Nothing in particular. Just the inability to move, muscle pain or stiffness, joint pain, and swollen, painful, or tender lymph glands in the armpit to name just a few. And that's just for dosage given under supervision of a doctor. If someone decides to use the horse version, they can have seizures or go blind. This is in addition to other neurologal or gastrointestinal issues. Or death.

So now that you have been factually informed, go ahead and make excuses and/or move the goalposts.
