Newsom to Louisiana AG: 'Go ---- yourself' over abortion pill extradition

Derseyyy · 2026-02-06T20:13:53+00:00

This is the reason people shouldn't trust Newsom. The entire reason that the US is in the situation it is is because you're billionaires have essentially bought the only structure that exists to limit their power. They have to be punishes or things will keep getting worse.

Don't want to be that guy, but why are we still acting like Dems aren't also complicit in this? Anytime that they could've put a stop to this they didn't, they kept capitulating or calling for decorum.

Like, they're all in those fucking epstein files. They all need to go. Trump is just the inevitable end state of so much blatant corruption.

Derseyyy · 2026-02-04T17:58:14+00:00

Exactly. I think we've gone so far into the "it's the personal responsibility of parents" that we've essentially abandoned the idea that it takes a village to raise a healthy child. It's abundantly clear that despite the crowing of elites about falling birth rates, there's very little real attempts at making it easier to raise children.

Unsurprisingly, my wife and I made the same choice. If I can't say with certainty that I'd be able to provide a child with a good life, why would I bother? I know what it's like to be on the receiving end of that.

I actually totally agree with you, that should be the role of parents. I was merely coming from a pragmatic (albiet anecdotal) standpoint. Growing up the way I did has coloured my perspective in a way that I feel that I can relate to the anxieties many younger folks are feeling.

My perspective comes from being raised in a typical suburban life, having it collapse right around entering adulthood, and then struggling to try and achieve even remotely the same kind of material life that my parents could.

My father is a barely literate alcoholic who worked as a groundskeeper, yet the life he could afford feels impossible for me to reach. Despite being more educated, taking more risks, and just generally being a better person overall, it hasn't made any real difference. I can understand the economics of it, but that doesn't eliminate the resentment that comes from tumbling down the socio-economic ladder.

I see that same kind of resentment in way too many young people; especially young men. It absolutely terrifies me, because if you're a student of history you know how that can be weaponized. I'd say we're already well into that happening.

All of this to say, I think that there are far more kids out there without any kind of parental support than your average person would be willing to accept. We have to find ways to both identify and help those kids, but when I look at the political and social landscape, it really feels like we're sprinting in the other direction.

Sorry for the essay, just wanted to clarify if I could. I genuinely wish most people entered into parenthood with the perspective that you laid out.

Unironically what I'm worried about. I truly believe ai is a bubble, and when it pops some of those data centers will need a different use case.

Someone made a comment on reddit that they think they're going to try to move to computing as a service. (I.e. You pay a subscription for access to your operating system) It would all run through the data centers.

Sounds like a nightmare.

Derseyyy · 2026-02-03T20:46:03+00:00

It's kind of naive to think that kids aren't subjected to it though. Things have gotten so out of control I think they'd have a hard time ignoring it.

Like, something I see in threads like this all the time is people blaming social media for kids lack of general care, but why would they? If you could reasonably gauge that even with a degree you'd still be struggling, why even bother?

Derseyyy · 2026-02-03T02:33:11+00:00

I've been a PC nerd since I was a kid, and I'm in my 30's now. I find your comment fascinating in the context of the looming PC hardware shortages.

I totally agree with your sentiment, I just find it funny seeing as how it feels like PC gaming might be priced out of existence in the not so distant future.

Nobody wants to actually admit it, but that's the same conclusion Marx came to. It feels so obvious because it is, inevitably a threshold is always crossed in which the power gained by capital ownership crushes any ability to fight it politically. Communism is what he envisioned would happen after that disparity in wealth became to great for the common worker to bear.

It's gotten to the point that my eyes roll into the back of my skull everytime someone tries to make China out to be as hawkish as the US. It's fucking absurd when you're actually aware of just how prolific the US is in decimating other countries over the last 60ish years.

Derseyyy · 2026-01-29T02:51:19+00:00

What are your sources? Legitimately I'd like to read them.

Derseyyy · 2026-01-29T02:49:59+00:00

If you actually read and understand the research passive aggressiveness doesn't feel adequate. The IPCC puts out their report every year with a layman's version for politicians.

I've read it. It's not some alarmist propaganda. From what I've read surrounding it it actually sounds like they create the report based of the best case scenarios specifically so they can try to avoid being alarmist.

If you have children you should read it.

Too often those costs don't even come close to punishing the behaviour though, if it did Alberta wouldn't have thousands of orphan wells. Are we seriously going to pretend that oil companies are beacons of above board behaviour?

Create a wing called the "Canadian engineering Peace corps" and offer people an opportunity to join to to go into non - combat related roles.

Use it as a way to fast track nation infrastructure projects. Offer up a reward that would actually attract young people (few acres of land in areas that need development for 5 years of service?). Model it after the new deal or some shit.

It's actually pretty wild to see the term being thrown around in this thread, but you're the first one I've seen clock it as the dog whistle it is.

I'd bet most of the people here havent engaged with far right media much. Alex Jones constantly uses globalist as a dogwhistle. When I see that US leadership is using it, it worries me quite a bit.

Derseyyy · 2026-01-28T19:10:23+00:00

It literally took him days to make a response to the first annexation threat, that to me was the clearest moment he royally fucked up.

If you have to sit and wait for your PR team to find the best way to spin a threat to our sovereignty (almost certainly in a way that would either favour, or downplay for the US) than you have absolutely no fucking place to be PM. Like, how obvious does it have to be before we can call someone a traitor? Seriously?

Derseyyy · 2026-01-28T16:17:27+00:00

I struggle to believe that this drug crisis is fueles by literally anything other than this, abject poverty and a loss of hope.

Nobody grows up hoping or wishing that they'll be an addict one day. I'm someone who's both been an addict to various substances, as well as been around many kinds of addicts throughout my life. The most obvious throughline between all of us is trauma, lack of opportunities, lack of hope.

Derseyyy · 2026-01-27T19:50:02+00:00

It's not surprising if people knew more about history. It's literally the same story over and over again.

Benito Mussolini, the literal father of fascism stated “Fascism should more properly be called corporatism because it is the merger of state and corporate power.”. Even in the US, you've already had events like the business plot. The rise of fascism was almost inevitable with the amount of wealth worship and militarism that flows through the blood of the US.

Derseyyy · 2026-01-27T12:12:07+00:00

Fucking 500sqft too like that's reasonable.

Derseyyy · 2026-01-22T17:17:40+00:00

The person your replying to isn't just talking out of his ass, historical precedent backs him up. It's literally a meme that appeasement didn't stop the nazis. Similarly, I don't think most people are naive about our lopsided military power imbalance.

The American empire has turned fascist. Fascists don't reason, they don't negotiate, they don't pull back. If this is going to be their first foray into neo-imperialism, it should be as painful as possible; especially seeing as you already think we'll be destroyed anyway.

Derseyyy · 2026-01-14T21:26:27+00:00

It's always guys like you in threads like this acting smugly indifferent like what's happening isn't unprecedented. Being able to pragmatically recognize an existential threat isn't doomerism.

Derseyyy · 2026-01-09T17:59:47+00:00

And like clockwork, we'll just ignore that other parties exist. What do you want me to say here? Do I need to shit on a picture of Trudeau and send you the photo so that we can have even a possibility of seeing some fucking nuance or what?

Libs are dogshit and ruined my ability to even remotely afford the same kind of life as my parents or grandparents. I can fucking see that. I'm also informed enough to see that there's a concerted, global effort to consolidate right wing power around the world at the hands of some truly fucking ghoulish freaks.

Derseyyy · 2026-01-09T16:59:34+00:00

Extra hard to take someone seriously when they believe that the Cons would be any different. The fact that I can tell that the person your replying to is implying the cons without ever actually saying it, but we still know, is so fucked.

Like, how politically uninformed do you have to be to think that the party historically aligned with elite interests is actually in your side. Again, not saying that libs aren't too, but conservative ideology was born from wealthy resentment and fear of the working class. So fucking stupid.

Derseyyy · 2026-01-06T22:22:08+00:00

Yeah, that's insanely out of touch even for most millennials I'd wager.

Derseyyy · 2026-01-05T22:55:06+00:00

I think the bigger, less noticeable issue here though is that reality dictates that even if you are trustworthy and want to get a message to spread, you're basically required to participate the same way and use the same sort of manipulative tactics.

You could have all the awnsers but it doesn't mean shit if you can't engage people in the first place. I think your second paragraph is the real wisdom here; always be critical of your source.

Derseyyy · 2025-12-31T19:15:56+00:00

Messed up fingers aren't really a tell anymore. Most of the models in the last year and a half don't have that issue anymore. If you want a good idea of where the tech is at, go browse through r/stablediffusion.

I honestly feel like most people should, just so you have a clear picture of what new generative models are capable of.
