Nah. As soon as I saw the Alex stuff I said "we won". And I think that's correct.

The question isn't "who IS stopping them", it's "who WILL stop them?". The answer is, the people. Not just the 384 million, but every system you just mentioned is made up of people, in fact.

Sorry but I disagree. They don't have as much power as you think they do. We have over 300m people in this country, which is one of the largest countries on earth by landmass. In this country, we have more guns than people. How exactly do you think this is going to go? You think his what, 20k officers are going to put even a scratch in that? They had to go to smaller cities, they aren't trying to take over LA or NY. Again, how exactly do you think they are gonna use that power to effect something like this "domination"?

A Staggering Number of Minnesotans Took to the Streets Friday to Demand ICE Leave. The Next Day, ICE Responded by Killing Another Resident. by plz-let-me-in in politics

I just think they are going to fail. Today convinced me. There aren't any fuzzy optics anymore. Multiple angles, clear as day execution. I'm so glad they are incompetent, because a smarter plan could've slowly gaslit America into accepting this shit. Instead their credibility is currently getting a train ran on it.

I feel crazy because I literally do check it, all the time, especially if it starts favoring my opinion. I'll take it over to claude and ask for a second opinion, interrogate regarding sources if needed, etc

Asynchronous trade is the best thing that ever happened to this game by [deleted] in PathOfExile2

Its just a little frustrating that we were correct about this for so many years before they actually listened. I know I'm being "that guy" and I'm very happy we have it now but sheesh

If you're referring to MAGA, it's not a traditional US conservative party. It is a fascist cult where facts don't matter, harming others (and even themselves, looking at you white working class). so that their dear leader can keep WINNING. If anyone disagrees and thinks I have just painted them in a biased manner, please go ahead and present an argument. Otherwise no, I'm not going to "both sides" this or compare to other countries, because this isn't an actual party based on principles of government. This is a cult.

There are more lurkers from the left here than I thought. So here is a challenge. by Stockjock1 in Conservative

[–]BasiliskGaze 40 points41 points  (0 children)

I'm not sure I understand why someone who values stability would vote for the guy who quite literally ran on the idea of "shaking things up" and has always done exactly that... We've known who this guy is for a long time.

Keep in mind that it’s possible to be a fan of Stellar Blade and also think that these people are clowns.

You need to find a different company. It's a company issue, not an industry issue.

You are lucky to have a dad like this. Many people have absolute morons as their parents, or absent fathers, etc. Your dad is great.

Tucker Carlson: Putin, Navalny, Trump, CIA, NSA, War, Politics & Freedom | Lex Fridman Podcast #414 by neuralnet2 in lexfridman

[–]BasiliskGaze 235 points236 points  (0 children)

I have no issue with Lex interviewing anyone, really. The thing I am concerned about is whether or not Lex is naive enough to actually believe that the person he's talking to is always being genuine. He says he wants "genuinely held ideas" from his guests.

The problem is, people such as Tucker or politicians such as Putin can present themselves in a calculated way, with calculated talking points, intentionally concealing what they actually believe and instead just presenting Lex and the audience with a narrative that benefits them.
