I would describe it as the application layer of all this AI shit. We are doing very well right now, but I’m just waiting for the turn.

Personally, I am eyeballs deep in this industry and even I’m now hoping to see it all burn to the ground. I’ve already concluded that I’ll never make it to retirement in my field, probably because of automation. Fuck ‘em all.

Oh, hey Ron. Forgot you were, like, a thing.

trump, Clinton, Woody fuckin’ Allen, dersh, Steve Bannon, Bill Gates — it’s just a motley crew of the worst losers imaginable.

I just don’t understand why this is a difficult question. Make the data centers fund their own power needs. End of story.

Barron trump looks like that guy in Mad Max: Beyond Thunderdome. Remember when ‘Blaster’ of ‘Master Blaster’ fame got his shit kicked in and the mask fell off and it turned out the dude was just this sweaty pale simpleton that you instantly pitied? Barron looks just like the guy.

I guess. It’s frustrating that it takes so long and involves so much suffering.

Despite the deep pockets and general indifference to casualties, I think that the American populace will react to sudden large losses. Like, we collectively don’t seem to care if 3 thousand US troops are killed during a prolonged engagement lasting years. But if 3 thousand died in a single event, like a ship sinking, people would be fucking pissed. A lot of that anger would be channeled into a desire for retaliation. Some of it would also be directed at the leadership that put that ship in harms way.

I agree. We fucking suck. Maybe some kind of coalition of nations can build a meaningful opposition to us.

If we’re talking about the US, then yes. 100%. It’s already underway.

It’s taken me a long time to realize that the Democratic Party, for the most part, doesn’t actually hold any principled stands on anything at all. I think they used to, but something changed when Clinton was elected and they abandoned new deal politics. For the sake of political expediency, they will employ rhetoric that sounds good sometimes, but none of it is backed by any beliefs whatsoever. It’s a loose coalition of dead eyed opportunist, and the deluded idealists they are still able to manipulate. The leadership has zero concern for its base or constituency as a whole. Are there some individual exceptions? Of course there are, but not many. As currently situated, the party will never mount a meaningful opposition to fascism.

Fuck the United States of America and all its feckless citizens too. I say this as a US citizen.

I agree. At some point someone has to figure out a way to go after the US. I don’t know what that is.

I know. I just want some one to figure out a way to defend themselves against us.

I am fully aware of this, and no, I don’t want to see a smaller country get crushed by the US war machine. I just want to see the US take losses at some point. I’m hopeful that some smaller power will figure out a way to actually defend themselves and to actually hurt us.

Has an empire ever been more cucked by one of its clients than the US is by Israel?

I hope one of the nations that we are bullying will defend themselves. I’d LOVE to see a US F18 go down. Shit, I’d like to see a carrier go down.

Fuck dude, will you just drop dead already.

And the UN will do exactly nothing, because it’s an entirely compromised organization that’s beholden to the United States.

We have descended into fascism because of 40 years of neoliberal politics. The ethos that the Clinton’s ushered in, which seemed so refreshing at the time, cultivated a party that stands for nothing, has not, and will not push back against fascism meaningfully.

Purity testing didn’t do all that. Terrible policy and terrible politics did.

You got anything substantive to contribute?
