For many for sure, I still hope others think the proper lessons are good. I mostly cling to that cause I went to religious schools as a kid, parents were not and I am not, but had decent education otherwise. But I did learn Christianity decently and in general has good ideas but they’ve been warped to greedy people’s needs.

Kinda reminds me of the movie Dogma, ideas are good (help people, be kind etc) but beliefs are hard to change. If you got an idea it can be shifted into something better as needs change.

I think if there is a higher power (I don’t really but think it’s a possibility like multi dimensions) they’d like us to understand the spirit of that book, not literal and not use it like a shield for being an asshole.

In the end you are you, if you don’t do stuff cause a book says no, it not cause you are good. If you do good stuff just cause a book says so it’s not good either. Want to be better for the people around you, not what some book says.

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…
