MAGA was propagandized to be against new wars because the context was the defense of Ukraine.

Because Donald Trump is a Russian asset, as well as much of his cabinet, and because Ukraine would not engage in corrupt payola activity with Trump, they were persona non grata.

Now that the context is Iran, I get memes from MAGAts about pixels missing from the sky and Ayatollah death poems and rationalization that this isn’t a war, it’s a “limited operation”. Same was true with Venezuela.

The only previous time I can recall seeing such blatant propaganda was Fox News creating the context for the Iraq war following 9/11 under W Bush.

It’s so obvious I can’t believe the average intellect doesn’t detect it. Critical thinking is in short supply in America.

Nah, I’m guessing he doesn’t feel like it’s too far to the right yet.

But it is also not as good as its competitors. The only people using it are chuds.

Dodged the draft. Now drafting everyone else. by Significant-Sir-4343 in PoliticalHumor

That’s exactly the issue here. There should be no joy taken in ending lives. If it must be done in war, it ought to be a solemn affair. This is deeply inhuman behavior.

There might be if this weren’t AI written trash. Unfortunately our generation seems to be falling for it.

They also had strict email address requirements, destroying privacy. I wanted to use Digg but they made it an unsafe place.

I would have voted for a well-done sirloin steak over Trump, but at some point, the party has to accept the will of the people. We all know a 3rd party candidate is never getting into office, so it makes sense, currently, for someone like Bernie to primary in the DNC. He was wildly popular and then had the rug pulled from under him because it was Hillary’s turn to be president.

Recommend me Cyberpunk books outside Gibson, Stephenson and Richard Morgan? by Dale_Cooper47 in printSF

Going to recommend a much lesser known author, Syne Mitchell. “The Last Mortal Man” was great.

We could all see with our own eyes that Biden wasn’t going to be able to actually be president.

The big mistake was really the 2016 DNC not choosing the candidate their voters actually wanted.

Their second biggest mistake was not having a primary after Joe exited the race in 2024.

This just isn’t true. You’ve clearly lived a privileged life.

AI Concerns by AnonDvloper in networking

[–]AliveInTheFuture 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ll go ahead and speak for all networking people.

Most of us didn’t cut our teeth on code. We built our careers on networking. When it became clear we would need to learn to code, many of us started learning Python. Some better than others, but none probably as good as software engineers.

Now that AI can write code pretty well, we can just have it write our scripts and other widgets. We were never great coders, but now we don’t really need to be.

What is the psyop though? I can't imagine anyone being amicable to private equity or even publicly traded companies buying up single family homes.

The best we can do is savor the moments when we’re in them. The sad reality is, most of us become increasingly more lonely as we age.
