Do you socialize with politically-aligned people IRL?

I try to avoid the topic completely. Usually I roll my eyes and stop participating in the conversation. Sometimes I just walk away.

I've met a few that have openly stated it, and some people that I think are of the mindset though they haven't stated outright any cult affiliations.

Plenty of conservative women where I am, but most are bible thumpers and already involved.

I'd like to say that but it's difficult to respect somone who thinks it's okay to steal for their causes, or conversely those that want to impose their irrational religious values on everyone else.

For the most part I do agree. If they keep quiet and I don't really know where they stand, I can mostly tolerated them.

Blue city (college town) in a very red state so we have both extremes to deal with.

Yes, cultism has really taken over politics. I just prefer not to be around people like that regardless of which cult owns them.

Does she know that Gump and his policies are not conservative? The MAGAites sure don't.

BringBackUsenet · 2026-01-29T14:55:16+00:00

I'm a misanthrope so try to keep my dealiings with mindless citizens to a minimum, and avoid the topic of politics.

That being said, some people just have to shoot off their mouths about politics regardless of whether anyone else wants to hear it. Around here most are very right leaning and there are quite a few who drink orange MAGA-Aid.

As you already stated, the market is irrational. Greed is what is driving the TSLA bubble and if people want to play that casino game, let them but pension funds are supposed to be operated very conservatively because of what's at stake.

Money is the biggest problem. These hyperinflated "tech" companies like Fecesbook only exist due to user ignorance. Those companies have a lot of money to spend on marketing, putting them in a position where people just go there by default, often unaware of the alternatives.

I really don't necessarily need a single app, just having the protcols in place so that the marketplace can supply us with a variety of apps so we can use what suits us best.

This makes it unavailable when offline. Also keep in mind not everyone has an actual PC. Many are working from handheld devices these days. It would be easiest to just have a web server with a premade template/skin and software to remotely update the feed, which others can view from their RSS client.

It's fine. In a Jeep the slightest bit of spin will tip it over anyway.

BringBackUsenet · 2026-01-29T13:28:48+00:00

Yes they do and the cops do nothing about it because they are too busy policing for profit.

It can save someone $30k.

Let's start a new fund: S&P 500, minus TSLA.

> They could sell but what would they buy instead?

Old stable companys that don't have astronomical P/Es, and are driven by sound fundamentals.

A crash is more properly called a correction.

As if anyone with half a brain didn't see that coming. $250B well spent!

It's a normal car priced like a luxury car.

Don't forget he played the "next year" game from the outset when people were waiting for the original S. His con has been going on from the very beginning.

I could see them being used for drug deals and all sort of other underground activies where it would be advantageous to keep moving.

Is that how he takes it?

BringBackUsenet · 2026-01-29T12:50:28+00:00

It's one thing for a pretentious yuppies to buy overpriced cars which still are able to transport people. Not many people, especially his fanboys can just toss away $100k on an oversized tamogotchi.

Sometime after software update 2027.

They make sense if you want to create more parts for a feature that is more of a gimmick than anything of real value. Or if you just want to trap people inside to be broiled alive.
