I recognize that stock photo of the orca from that one forced meme on ytmnd

“I might repeatedly demonstrate that I jump to conclusions and make shit up without taking more than a passing notice of what I’m replying to, but making fun of me for it is just plain arrogant.”

— You

It wasn’t me, and I sincerely doubt you’re capable of reaching understanding even if you weren’t bound and determined not to understand.

That’s not an unfair comparison, it’s literally the point. I swear, we need all internet access locked behind reading comprehension tests.

Their entire voting base is doggedly fixed on the idea of turning up to vote even if they hate the candidate or even the current party platform. At the other end you have people who who consider not voting to be a high-minded protest, who only turn up for candidates who are ideologically pure enough: in other words, voters who represent no threat at all and can be ignored. Is it any wonder that those who only care about having power cater to the people who will still vote for you while you piss on them?

Grok has clearly been instructed to defend Charlie Kirk in every context and to assert he “wins” in any given situation. Right-wing people like Kirk and Musk are obsessed with image and not losing face. Grok, like Kirk was programmed to simulate the kind of rationalizations and vernacular that appeal to right-wingers, and so it tries to spin-doctor Kirk getting capped as “actually he’s fine lol shut up nerd”. I think it’s hilarious, because it implies “Defend Charlie Kirk” is excruciatingly over-emphasized in the LLM’s instruction set to compensate for the fact that Kirk actually got humiliated regularly.

“lol. I’m so detached and yet bemused. Lmao. Lmao look how cool I am lmao lmao”

Boy if you don’t get off the computer

I can fix her.

If Gavin Newsom is the source for the claim that Gavin Newsom didn’t know the Guard was going to be mobilized and did not want to allow it to happen, the most charitable interpretation I’ll commit to is that we don’t know the truth. The dude has two faces.

State policy ≠ party platform
The United States was going to bomb civilians either way, protest voters ensured it will be worse.

Also that’s not how this meme works, are you 90?

People like that, who almost universally profess Christian faith, should be attentive to the words of the early Church fathers on the intrinsically corrupting nature of wealth:

“The rich are in possession of the goods of the poor, even if they have acquired them honestly or inherited them legally.”
— John Chrysostom

“You are not making a gift of your possession to the poor person. You are handing over to him what is his.”
— Ambrose of Milan

“The property of the wealthy holds them in chains […] which shackle their courage and choke their faith and hamper their judgment and throttle their souls. They think of themselves as owners, whereas it is they rather who are owned: enslaved as they are to their own property, they are not the masters of their money but its slaves.”
—Cyprian

And for a direct Bible passage, it’s hard to be more succinct than James.

“There’s no way to fix it, just give up now”

Okay wumao

On Firefox it’s doing a whole lot of loading and not much else.

Kinda funny how perfectly they’re described by the phrase “wolves in sheep’s clothing”, knowing its origin and context.

I can only assume the lede you buried in “many of my peers” was that it didn’t include a lot of the women.

Technically, sure, but Howard Stern was only subversive in the sense that you can Subvert Societal Norms by deliberately shitting yourself on the bus. It’s not a good idea to say he’s part of the left when the only defining through line on his ideology is that he bucks all forms of authority and rejects the concept of propriety regardless of its alignment. I like that he hates Donald Trump, I get that the enemy of my enemy is my friend and all that, but in this case, the enemy of my enemy is a genuinely mean-spirited degenerate who never misses an opportunity to punch down at his subordinates nor at literally every woman he sees, speaks to, or knows about. Far from being on the left, I find it hard to say he’s really all that much more than just a lazier, radio-focused version of Morton Downey Jr.

That’s in interesting point of view, but I was just making a joke about goats.

I think that kind of approach is pretty me-e-e-e-e-e-eh

Are they trying to look scared shitless to undermine the whole farce, or do they actively want to create a martyr? Those are the only two options that don’t require a room temperature IQ.
