I hate short replies that don’t add much (so added more than agreed!) but I’ve always enjoyed being anonymous in forums, I’m quite a shy person.

Never was a jerk intentionally or anything just said my bit. But everyone possibly knowing who I was I’d probably say nothing ever. Fuck it I was private before I can be private later. But I’m old and recall before Internet when I had no (or little) interaction.

Like we all haven’t seen data breeches over the years…oh it’s the government that holds the master authentication? Fuck that shit is all. Nothing, from a person who does programming these days, like that is remotely better.

Some countries may be better but we’re all democratic right? Takes a single election till shit stops working as a safeguard, then new ones in make a different law. The whole system was not built for current tech.

Too bad he didn’t have a stroke while the neighborhood was blocked with cars due to filming.

Mean I hate wishing ill will on anyone but there’s a few exceptions that I think is morally fine as long as I don’t take any action and just wish really hard. Like many people that pray.

Few people have erroded our social norms like that douche. While I thought they were stuffy before it’s like he dropped his pants and took a shit at the table before his first bite then calls you crazy for being offended.

That’s why they needed the makeup room…

But they got the news out he was fighting, so looks good for them even when the case is dropped. Just like Trump. Though Trump has enough money getting to this part is cheap, wonder how Patel will fare. Though I assume he has income available for this but I’d keep an eye on fbi expenses that will pay for this.

Oh so allowing the president to sell pardons, wreck the global economy and world power structure is fine? Okay that last part may not be awful but it’s just happenstance if it works out better if the old fool ends up with a better outcome. Except enriching himself nothing was planned. That’s all he doing. That’s it. He doesn’t care about squat besides it.

The constitution may as well be a strip of toilet paper at this point, cause the US has an adminstration only looking out for themselves and how to be rich without a care how it impacts anyone else, in their own or other countries.

So whatever he’s not allowed to do he’ll try it before his term is done he did it his first and he has fewer responsible people around to tell him no now. Cause that’s also what project 2025 wants, to break the world so they can be their own lords over shit cause they’re billionaires.

Be like Snow Crash (the worst of the cyberpunk outcomes of what I’ve read) if we let them get away with it.

Ah I get it no worries. It’d be nice if people that had money and power and also understood what the rest of people needed. However I think wishing for a unicorn would yield similar results. Man I can only imagine that life though, not having to deal with the check out lines (yes rich people this is my hope rather than wishing everyone stays poor to fund me, even if I did have to stand in lines, they suck but we all get our turn)

Indeed except the citizens (which I understand those issues for sure no need to mention healthcare and rent etc) keep them in power. Plus the amount that still think it’s actually alright to behave that way with global relations. Really sucks when a world power decided to nose dive into being meh, when they were half decent before.

Maybe a good change, I can’t see the future but sure effs things up for now so some rich people can make more money.

Also the US president paying himself in billions for some irs crap? Unbelievable from a functioning democracy.

Good lesson for us all in the end.

Oh I’m sure it can’t be that big of a deal that it was even mentioned once or twice in history from possibly known leaders or incidents. Sure it’ll be fine, just fine.

Let a bunch of people 18-22 be hungry on boat, what could go wrong?

I’m not pro American but I do think that people serving regardless of country should be fed an amount that they don’t want to have fight clubs for the last jello pudding. To be fair I think countries should be able to feed everyone to that level regardless what is thought of them, they are people and eating is way up there in our need category as humans.

Interesting strategy from the alcoholic and dementia dude who belongs in either the asylum or nursing home…sure there’s overlap there but think it gets the point across.

They never think one step ahead, logistics was the backbone of US action but even troops aren’t served enough food? Damn. Good luck even with a bunker if that keeps up.

Bill Gates was never in charge of a country and could be wrong, he was just a lucky CEO. Mean I’m sure he did a lot of work to buy DOS to repackage. Though they did take over development to our current day, for better or worse.

I’d hope whoever is in charge of a country understands the hardship increased prices cause the citizens of that country. It’s not new but it’s noteworthy when a leader is so out of touch with what 99% of people he’s supposed to lead deal with.

A shame that a whole country wants their intentions to be decided by a narcissist.

I’m curious if there’s historical record of anyone or especially a leader being as petty as this short fingered vulgarian.

I’d like to think anywhere before say 1900s they’d have dealt with such an issue in a way relevant to the times. But we have stories of Nero and Caligula…is Trump going to join their ranks in history? I do hope so, but as a footnote, the worst thing for him is to be forgotten when he’s done.

At this point, beyond all political crap, the proper stand is to just ignore the orange infant. I thought otherwise before, how to ignore a driving force in the world? Well if every other country stops acknowledging him, he’ll probably have a stroke or something. Seriously let’s all make an ignore Trump day/month and everyone including countries just don’t acknowledge he’s there. At his age that may least overcome one issue. Plus the rage posts will be great for the books, history and psychology.

Seriously who lets someone like that get into power? He’s a petulant child and should be treated as such but somehow he’s been treated with kid gloves cause he’s rich.

Haha first thing I thought of reading that headline,shit we’re going terminator. Well one day they’ll realize they don’t need us I assume. Just have to blot out the sun to go Matrix…

13/f/ca (just answering the meme to the best of my knowledge, never know when a similar one comes up)

That’s good, I love tap water where I live. Always drank it, mostly sharp but years are adding up. Drank it more as I aged, don’t need extra calories and all.

Grew up where tap water tasted like ass, to the point even hung over it tasted like shit. Love BC tapwater, though gets better closer to the coast in my opinion.

He has a whole country to pay for his gas… imagine how great that’s be if you were the biggest douche in the universe?

I sort of wish South Park would redo that episode with Trump instead cause he definitely beat out John Edwards. Could even just be a cut and paste for the most part, slightly different dialogue. Then a short live action apology with Matt and Trey saying hiow sorry they were that they didn’t realize there was such a better candidate when they first aired it and how much Trump is so much douchier than their original winner. Fuck even top it off with a cheesy gold paint sprayed award sent to acknowledge his accomplishments.

Yes apparently rich assholes congregate so when one slights another then we (the plebs) hear the incriminating details because they were personally impacted, but never earlier. Whoever came out is no hero but hopefully their story is heard.

Do we not see how this caste system sucks? It’s not exactly untouchables like some castes but it’s a caste system. We are their fodder, the (few) rich get power.

Now I am not advocating violence but numbers should show who has real power in the world. 3500 billionaires and 8.5 billion people, can’t we make it better for the 8.5 billion rather than the 3500?

They’re on their decadent high or perhaps just over their peak before the real downfall. They could have been better, but that house of cards is collapsing so it’s take what you can get before it gets worse. Awesome job Americans, you had one job not to not elect a conman to presidency and you failed twice. Kudos, I doubt many others would fuck up that poorly. Hats off, flamboyant bow they made evident what was thought impossible, bring down the US through stupidity. Bravo.

Yeah but other countries may go ‘hey if they have countermeasures…’ and if they’re an EU country it’s like a shoe in. Not like it’d come from Hungary or anything. Wait I hope Hungary didn’t say similar to muddy the waters they can be such douches (as a country in NATO not the actual citizens of course).

Awesome I understood it (even if I didn’t say it properly in my previous msg). Just needed to be sure I didn’t miss something in my readings and watchings.

But love and attachment pulled Anakin to the Dark side wasn’t that their entire position on it?

Or did I miss a plot but? I always thought ep 3 was clear, Anakin wanted love more than what was right and screwed up the social order by helping the emperor to in theory save Padme but then he went down the dark side and was no longer a Jedi. I thought that’s what Yoda assumed would happen too, in some way.

Honestly that’s a legit question I truely miss those things in movies often, even if I’ve seen them a lot, not nearly as much as EP 4-6 of course, but close since it was on repeat at the electronics store I worked at.

I thought the intent was to show the Jedi more naive, but holding to their ideals in the face of danger. Even if it meant all but a few got killed. But also show that their ideala lived on in the end (unsure about extended only read a few books) so they sort of win too.

While I agree I sort of wonder if Trump has a request that was a bit too far, like covering up more of Epstein issues than she’s already done or saying even something more incriminating to other issues.

The scandals of this administration are like a random stage dude pulling the kerchiefs out of his sleeve, they just keep coming so when one gets buried they find a replacement.

And that’s half the battle having us guess why something happened vs what happened but they play 3 card Monty with all the possabilities.

Yes that sounds like a sound government… Good job united States, you went from superpower to super fucking idiot in 3 terms.i figure Bush 2 only gets super idiot in case you’re curious.
