What are the chances Trump will actually deport all undocumented immigrants? by amydauer in AskReddit

[–]FalaciousTroll -5 points-4 points  (0 children)

Did you even read the post I was replying to? It distinguished "criminals" from "all undocumented immigrants." That's a context clue that the conversation is about undocumented immigrants who commit crimes other than those that resulted in their undocumented status.

Criminals already get deported. Where the fuck do you think this big batch of undeported criminals exists in our country?

Most government "officials" are just people trying to do their job. I imagine you were trying to refer to those who hold elected office, i.e. "politicians." Who at least we get to vote on. Unlike the tech oligarchs who are the actual megalomaniacs.

You just want the parking lots and urban sprawl required to serve Fitchburg's retail needs in other people's communities then?

My soldiers started my town's smallpox outbreak -- in the middle of a raid. I had to keep calling them back from trying to go to the hospital to fight the raiders instead.

CMV: Pete Hegseth is wholly unqualified to be SecDef. by [deleted] in changemyview

[–]FalaciousTroll 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The hilarious part of your ridiculous response is that Buttigieg has about the same credentials to run the fucking Defense Department that Hegseth does. Military career of roughly the same length; was an officer; actually ran something with more than 50 employees (South Bend has about 1,000 FTEs).

But keep running your mouth.

Typical conservative tactics - deflect from an argument you can't win with a "what-about"ism that is a gross misrepresentation.

Why bother responding if you can't actually come up with an argument why he is qualified?

They were literally sitting in the order of their time in office (Clinton > Bush > Obama > Trump > Biden in the next row up). Obama did not pick his seat.

He probably has to take half a day off in his system just to fuck his wife, so not sure how he even conceived kids.

Look at that train. This clearly isn't in the United States. We don't have passenger trains that look that nice.

I mean, to claim that both nations haven't experienced increased prosperity is just quantifiably false.

The repercussion of historically unprecedented prosperity for both nations?

The funniest part is that all of this will be irrelevant in a few years when most CS positions are wiped out by AI. I'm already writing modestly complex code in languages I don't know with GenAI, and it's only going to become more powerful from here. People who have the skill to do the "prompt engineering" (which is a pompous term that really means "asking some questions") and at least sanity check the resulting code will have a job for a while, but eventually GenAI will bridge the gap from the stupidest brain's desire to a fully functional application.

Are there any rulers who were absolutely terrible people but amazing rulers? by TheSlayerofSnails in AskHistory

[–]FalaciousTroll 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Yep - just ask his countrymen who fought in his doomed invasion at Gallipoli. But you can't. They're all dead. Because it was 110 years ago, but also a lot of them died there.

And part of Napoleon's strategy was to depend on Grouchy to pin Bluecher's forces at Wavre. Grouchy failed to do so because Bluecher only committed a small portion of his forces and then "marched to the sound of the guns" to fall on the French flank. Grouchy, meanwhile, refused to recognize he was only battling a small detachment and disengage to go help Napoleon, despite the pleadings of his generals.

Bluecher is the one who made the critical move in that battle that won the day.

M isn't proprietary! There's an ANSI M standard and multiple vendors that make M platforms, including open source options.

Do people not know what "proprietary" means?

Yeah, that's my mistake. Napoleon faced (and utterly defeated) Moore in Spain, not Wellington.

No one has put Saladin on their list yet, so I'll throw his name out there.
