In my day we only had a 2D Ruxpin, we called him Clippy...

> the companies that make and sell these toys are putting their stockholders at risk of a future privacy lawsuit.

Own 20 risky but profitable companies. 9 may go south and declare bankruptcy, but between the time the 9 were bringing in revenue and the other 11 that haven't puked (yet), you are still net profitable.

Privatize profits, socialize loss, the Plutocrat Way.

Anyone else creeped out that I got modded down for the above post?

Eating random roadkill? I'll trust experienced medical experts over a conspiracy fan.

It's okay Matt Gaetz picked up where Epstein left off.

You think you have it tough, how are members of the Trump administration supposed to look for dates now?

This is simple biological science

Your claim has been debunked here like 12 times. Be 13!

First take them off the ACA, I don't want to pay for MAGA coma-care as they overdose on Ivermectin or some other brainworm-oil.

We are a Christian nation

MAGAs are fake Christians, ignore most of Bible, especially all the "don't be greedy" and "don't be an asshole" scriptures. You worship Fox Jesus, not the real Jesus.

Jesus said NOTHING about LGBTQ+, yet belted the shit out of greedy money changers grifting in the temple lobby. Trump would probably be one of the belties if he were alive then. The plutocrats want you to forget about the second and focus on the first so that you allow them to continue to sin and grift. Many don't even believe in your fairytales, they just swindle you for money and votes.

You are TalibanJelicals. Stay in the hills, keep your stupidstition out of our towns, and drink all the Ivermectin you want! We want nothing to do with you ignorant gullible haters. #DontTouchMagas

Pedophilia is not just about age or physical characteristics it's about exerting power over a helpless individual.

Once you're an adult in most countries you at least have some agency. But the reason Trump targets children is because they don't have that agency and he enjoys abusing that fact.

So the difference you're talking about might matter for the purposes of a psychiatrist treating Donald Trump for his particular form of psychopathy but from a practical standpoint he is very much a pedophile.

And he is effectively above the law so it's not like he's going to get treatment. He's just an unrepentant pedophile and a substantial number of the people here voted for him knowing that.

So your argument is "we can bigly suck because YOU guys also bigly suck"?

Are going to make it back over the Europe right? Also eventually we're going to need to invade your countries in order to loot them and fill our coffers because that's what failing empires do and our empire is very much on the skids.

Now would be a good time for the rest of the world to stage and intervention and maybe try to stop Russia from getting Trump a third term as president.

The problem is you're ruling class is hoping that if America falls they can't get their currency in as the de facto world currency which would put them in the running to become trillionaires.

In other news I'm using Google text to speech to write this out on my phone and it now recognizes the word trillionaire. A year ago it didn't it replaced it with billionaire and I had to edit the b to be a t...

At least what we most commonly refer to as autism. It's genetic.

There are also some factors in the womb that can cause symptoms we associate with autism specifically things like mild fetal alcohol syndrome. That isn't technically autism though and a actual doctor would know the difference.

The beauty of autism from a political standpoint is that the term is used so broadly in the public that you can create a lot of fear and confusion that is highly useful politically. And you can get parents to vote for things that hurt their kids while promising to help their kids.

Along with gender affirming healthcare it's one of the most effective things the right wing has to rob you of your money and your property right now.

Assuming our country and democracy somehow survives the next 3 years then eventually the current moral panics will run their course. Which makes me wonder what the next moral panic will be.

If you happen to know what that is and how the right wing will use it then you could probably make a hell of a lot of money getting out ahead of that. You can be the next Charlie Kirk or Tucker Carlson or Alex Jones...

It also be a monster but hey, you'd be a rich monster right?

Unless of course they've got some mod points to blow, but seriously fuck you guys.

Nobody here is so stupid that they don't know this is both wrong and horrific and doesn't understand exactly why that's the case.

And I know there are a bunch of trump voters here on slashdot

For the people who weren't just fooled I wonder what you got out of it?

I know a lot of people are enjoying watching random people with brown skin pulled off the streets and sent to African nations they've never been to.

Funny thing is every one of them thinks they're Christian.

There is a belief among the evangelicals that so long as you believe in Christ you are saved and you can basically do anything you want. Faith and not works is what gets you into heaven.

But you know what, do you really have faith if you voted for trump?

I mean if your boss gives you an order you go do it because you know damn well your boss is real and so are the consequences of ignoring your boss.

Jesus gave you all kinds of orders that you ignore. Unlike your boss you don't think Jesus is real do you?

Basically the evangelicals are closeted atheists. It's just an identity they put on. Something to excuse some of their bad opinions. The Bible is a collection of disjointed texts and books and letters to various denominations so it's easy to find a reason to do just about anything you want to do.

But eventually reality is going to come calling for you. We're going to take away your social security and your Medicare. After that you'll lose your house when you mortgage it to pay for your bills. I wonder who you will blame then and I wonder which passages of the Bible you will use to do it...

Meanwhile I have the entire Republican party telling me that fucking 15-year-old girls doesn't make you a pedophile. What a fucking world we're in.

So the backlash is basically irrelevant. Even if valve can get some Linux hardware into people's hands the majority of operating system purchases for computer desktop and laptop hardware or for corporations and business and Linux does not have anything approaching active directory.

So they can ignore any complaints. Because realistically the average user can't do anything about it..

Meanwhile AI has the potential to replace hundreds of billions if not trillions of worth of wage labor. Remember AI is not a product for you. It's not even a product for your boss or your boss's boss. It's a product for the 8,000 billionaires on this planet who are sick and tired of the answer to the question "who's going to buy their products"?

Nobody. Nobody's going to buy their products because they're not going to have products. The goal is to dismantle capitalism and replace it with a new kind of feudalism.
