Takes a real and TRULY out of touch individual to drop "monotonicity paradox" with ZERO attempt at offering context to the reader - either this is an actual thing (in which case you're an asshole) or it's a full on fabrication (which would make you a liar).

Behavior, like what you've demonstrated here, is a phenomena all too easily explained by the Hammersmith Bongo Reversal, it's supercilious proxy darvents and various derivative hyper dogmas.

I hadn't heard the vaccine thing? What did she say?

Because we are extremely simple and self obsessed animals on the whole. At the intersection of those two things, we regularly conflate base familiarity with earned trust. A bit of a narcissistic drive to tell ourselves that... if WE know about something, it MUST be good, otherwise we wouldn't have taken the time to first learn about it!

It's why your town is currently infested with candidate signs in every public space. It's also why incumbents have such large advantages in elections and why dead/convicted politicians (or Last-name sharing family members of those politicians) are often elected after the fact.

They should

Nobody is entertaining your hypothetical. Neither.

Don't waste your time considering this nonsense. Vote.

So he's completely removed from anything to do with that company and isn't inherently woven into the DNA as it's very recent founder?

AI buddy, you can just PACk up those conspiracy theories and leave.

Old weird, decaying corpse, spattered with orange face paint and smelling of shit mixed with sweat, hairspray and fried fish.

Also noticed that affluent areas often have donation centers that don't have attached stores - because they want that fucking treasure for online listings probably.

Just helpful to remember, as all this horseshit persists, Bluesky is Jack Dorsey. Dorsey is former head of Twitter and musk's good buddy.

It's all a losing proposition, whatever direction you move - except if you move... Away.

You're tone was dismissive to those people, it wasn't leaving room for them. It was inclusive to others "like you" in the know.

But by all means, retcon until you feel good about yourself

Because... Beyond this line, property is threatened. Planes are expensive. You can die in the front, we can rebuild that cheaply. But planes are expensive.

Remember kids, if you see uniformed authority figures, they are there to protect property above all else.

The only way to stop a bad guy with a bomb...

Mine is a knife, reach in to entry pockets at TSA baggage xray, a moment where I'm afraid I'll pull out a giant knife

Reprogram your bot, bro... It's stupid.

Statements like "but we already knew" are never helpful. Something like that is really just meant for you to performatively proclaim, "I actually knew this already!"

Plenty of people who aren't as enlightened as you are just now learning or just coming of age to be politically aware. Maybe they were in one of the various operating religious/political cults in the world today sheltering them from objective reality. Leave some room for them to learn something new and feel ownership in that new awareness.

Just literally zero value in "duh! Tell me something I don't know!". If anything, it risks derailing the enthusiasm building in someone who wanted to help who now feels "stupid" and "not in the club" so they get quiet.

RT is russia is putin is russia is RT

He doesn't need money, he's a little prep school heir from step mommy with a father that also spent his life grifting for the republicans. What he needs is validation. He needs to feel like people aren't laughing at him. But they always are, and they always will. Same with trump - That's why they are now hoping to kill enough of the other side so that the only people left in the room are the ones who are not paying attention except to clap when they hear "freedom" or "woke".

Seriously though, the truth is that trump is 80 and he will statistically die relatively soon. The same fear applies, "they aren't going to laugh at me". Give him a chance and trump will literally throw the match in the gasoline soaked world behind him on the way out, just for the comfort that he won't be made fun of in death or properly exposed in full context by history.

Statements like "This isn't news" are never helpful. Something like that is really just meant for you to performatively proclaim, "I actually knew this already!"

Yes this, sure, but also he LITERALLY went to Russia, as they were invading Ukraine, and filmed some slop where he went into their supermarkets and walked around and said, "Hey... Now this is pretty fucking nice! They got broccoli and shit!"

It's so fucking naked.
