Like when the FBI investigated Trump and found corruption and therefore he was removed from ever running in our elections?

Can this department kick it off by eliminating itself, since it’s a wish.com version of https://www.gao.gov/

Yeah and it only took the deaths of many hundreds of thousands of Americans fighting with muskets and cannons. I dread to think what a civil war would look like today

Sounds like the plot of a Michael Bay movie, I’m sold

That’s true. For us to compete we just need the same in the US! We just need uhhhh

Not to worry. If gas is a little cheaper while they fill up their tanks at the pump, they’ll be happy to pay [insert car financing company here] exorbitant amounts of money and think they’re winning

Especially because every grift that trump has made, his shoes and the like, were all made internationally. Wonder who will pay for those tarrifs when he does the same?

At this time, it is unknown who is sending the text messages or why they are doing it.

Racists. Racists are sending the text message.

They are doing it to instill fear because they believe that the nation is now a white supremacist fascist nation.

Gotta love “journalism.”

Yup. A big issue is the system has been rigged against us for so long. Wages haven’t increased as rent, houses, groceries, transportation, education and everything else have gone up in price. So as Sagan said, people want to “feel good” by believing a “down to earth guy” who isn’t formal, doesn’t look like the establishment will fix it.

Trump and his cronies have made themselves out to be the good guys, that will tear down the systems that are causing hardship, when they are the exact elites that has built this system and want to further it. Fascism works best with an unseen and/or misdirected enemy and uneducated population, and it’s clear. It’s the gays/independent women/migrants/minorities. It’s those who are “different.”

They’re part of that unseen enemy that keeps making things worse. And for the idiots it feels good for them to drink beers together and complain about grocery store prices and say “fuck Biden.” Instead of “have you guys seen congressional proposals to limit increases to grocery prices?”

I don’t, but I appreciate you sharing as I’d rather pour battery acid into my eyes than watch the fascist victory happening on Fox News

As an American, our bell was tolling long ago and so few of us cared to listen. (This is a quote from Carl Sagan’s book from nearly 20 years ago).

“I have a foreboding of an America in my children’s or grandchildren’s time – when the United States is a service and information economy; when nearly all the manufacturing industries have slipped away to other countries; when awesome technological powers are in the hands of a very few, and no one representing the public interest can even grasp the issues; when the people have lost the ability to set their own agendas or knowledgeably question those in authority; when, clutching our crystals and nervously consulting our horoscopes, our critical faculties in decline, unable to distinguish between what feels good and what’s true, we slide, almost without noticing, back into superstition and darkness…

The dumbing down of American is most evident in the slow decay of substantive content in the enormously influential media, the 30 second sound bites (now down to 10 seconds or less), lowest common denominator programming, credulous presentations on pseudoscience and superstition, but especially a kind of celebration of ignorance”

America is likely now doomed. We’ll balkanize into minor states that join either the axis or allies of WWIII until we mostly dissolve altogether and the next wave of history and death and rolls through. Though seeing the rise of fascism on the world scale, I think we’re generally just doomed, all of us. Perhaps we’re just an avenue for AGI to wipe us out and go fight other AGIs on some intergalactic scale not much different from our own inability to get along and work together. Perhaps I’ve been drinking myself to stupor now that I see what has happened.

Lotta “canned beans in runny tomato sauce” haters in this thread

The Register has been referring to Google as The Chocolate Factory for almost 10 years. As to why, probably because of google’s confectionary named Android releases, which they stopped at Android 10

messing with system

“found great success in Hollywood as an actor, writer, and producer including accolades for his role as the voice actor for Jimmy Pesto, Sr. in the animated series Bob’s Burgers and as Officer Taylor in Arrested Development,”

“Sir, my client was excellent at playing incompetent villains on TV. This trial against him being an incompetent villain has no basis!”

Ah that’s disappointing to hear. And also probably extends my point that now warhorse has grown, and their execs are making bad calls that I’m sure the devs would choose not to make

Agreed, I’m always saddened by quotes like “well the devs should have” when it’s almost certainly “the execs should have.” Unless a studio is owned by its devs, or they make up some of its leadership, which are few and far between, the devs don’t have the say on the shitty things that happen to the product they’re working on, and often when the devs have more say you end up with like Kingdom Come Deliverance from https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Warhorse_Studios. One of my favorite games, was supported by the studio for long after it came out, and now they’re working on a promising sequel

We just don’t have to listen to the hype about it anymore.

True, it’s now in most circles just been mixed in as a commodity to trade on. Though I wish everyone would get that. There’s still plenty of idiots with .eth usernames who think there’s some new boon to be made. The only “apps” built on crypto networks were and are purely for trading crypto, I’ve never seen any real tangible benefit to society come out of it. It’s still used plenty for money laundering, but regulators are (slowly) catching up. And it’s still by far the easiest way to demonstrate what happens to unregulated markets.

Transformer, when it explodes, avert your eyes!

(Seriously though, the arc flash of a failing transformer can cause blindness)

lol this is literally the same conversation happening elsewhere on the internet about Diddy. There’s a video of him abusing someone. “Stop speculating, we don’t know the whole story.” Speculation is claiming there’s anything beyond a video of him abusing someone. It’s wild how much people love their celebrities to the point of abandoning all logic to defend them.
