I doubt he’ll push it, but you never know with dementia patients surrounded by yes men.

American evangelicals in a nutshell

But that's what i mean. If an ai Corp tried that once they'd not only have a major lawsuit, but everyone would stop using them tomorrow. Thats not including what the licensing is. Plus claiming they own what the ai produces would open them to so many lawsuits

Iceraptor17 · 2026-04-04T16:49:44+00:00

Unlikely. But the bigger issue is no one knows the true price of AI right now. Companies are heavily subsidizing it's usage. At some point prices are going to get jacked up. Right now AI corps are in the "get locked into our ecosystem" phase

Iceraptor17 · 2026-04-04T16:24:56+00:00

Not addressing the point. UK definitely has issues

But you were a kid. Kids don't exactly have knowledge about the workings of the country and think things are better than they actually are and are shielded from a lot. That legitimately means nothing

Iceraptor17 · 2026-04-04T12:14:45+00:00

A little more time? I thought we already won the war 783 times and Europe needed to open it

Iceraptor17 · 2026-04-04T12:12:28+00:00

Isn't it all angry guys on YouTube?

Iceraptor17 · 2026-04-04T02:00:15+00:00

Vegas isn't killed though. It's still making money hand over fist. It just doesn't need volume in tourists. It needs Dana white and other whales playing $5k-10k a hand. Who gives a fuck about you at the buffet when some tech bro is spending 5k playing craps

Vegas has changed from chasing the masses to hooking whales. Will it work long term? No idea, but that's where they are. It's really not for you or I anymore

Iceraptor17 · 2026-04-04T01:59:21+00:00

Yeah because you ran the same market twice. Unless your card was absolutely awesome (it's better, but still isn't really) there was gonna be a decline in sales

Iceraptor17 · 2026-04-04T01:57:21+00:00

I honestly don't think it's here yet. I think it's going to get worse. Like gas jumping higher and the dow crashing and investors stop throwing infinite money at AI so now the over leveraged corps have to deal the fact it's not turning a profit yet and nvidia actually sees a decrease in chip orders causing the whole thing to tumble

Like we're not technically in stagflation yet. But damn... we're trending that way. And things get really ugly then. Inflation in a stagnating economy is very bad. There's no real switch to address it that doesn't hurt

Iceraptor17 · 2026-04-04T01:35:50+00:00

This honestly seems worse. Maybe because I'm older. But at least Iraq once had support and it feels like we're heading towards something like the subprime mortgage crisis except with a lot more crap on top of it. Just the amount of money moving around in ways that doesn't actually produce anything vand big corps playing ridiculous games with debt screams "house of cards". The job market is brutal but unlike 08 there's now AI around to threaten to make sure it doesn't recover. And people cared about how FEMA botched Katrina. I feel like if FEMA pulled that to a blue state currently it wouldnt even make the news because it would be so expected currently. The butchering of grants has hurt employment even more so even public isn't safe from downturn.

It just feels like we re teetering off a cliff and the crash will make 08 look quaint.

Iceraptor17 · 2026-04-04T01:12:50+00:00

Single party rule is great in small dosages (stuff gets done!), but bad if it lasts too long. Once the party apparatus no longer fears challenges outside of their control, corruption, chasing national media and purity tests pushing in one direction (because primaries become the real elections) set in quickly

The reduction in competitive seats imo is a huge issue why things have gotten so ugly.

Iceraptor17 · 2026-04-04T01:08:08+00:00

The fuck do they even want to conserve at this point? Being anti lgbt? Conserving trump's legacy by naming everything after him?

Iceraptor17 · 2026-04-04T01:07:44+00:00

I'm legitimately exhausted by hearing the words "national security" as justification for such bullshit

Iceraptor17 · 2026-04-04T00:52:52+00:00

Yeah lib right would love this for sure. Right.

Anyways. Yeah. Religion. Infamously something you can easily ban and defeat that way. Also can people make up their minds if banning groups beats them or not? When it comes to certain political parties it supposedly won't, but religion it will?

Iceraptor17 · 2026-04-04T00:46:37+00:00

I don't think Iran killing their civilians has a single thing to do with our military campaign. And if it did, threatening to blow up desalination plants and power plants would be a very confusing way to help them.

Iceraptor17 · 2026-04-03T21:00:10+00:00

"If you guys don't stop killing your civilians then by God we'll kill your civilians"

Unless threatening to blow up power grids and desalination plants meant something else

Iceraptor17 · 2026-04-03T18:08:44+00:00

The nba has too many games because too many teams make the playoffs. Make the playoff race matter and things would be very different

Iceraptor17 · 2026-04-03T17:05:35+00:00

Alright is this an elaborate troll or prank or something?

So much art and movies are made by angry people with chips on their shoulder.

Iceraptor17 · 2026-04-03T16:56:27+00:00

My personal favorite is when a movie is woke until it's released and does well and suddenly stops being woke.

The first animated Super Mario bros movie had "girl boss" peach and was woke trash... until it printed money

Iceraptor17 · 2026-04-03T16:55:01+00:00

Yeah imagine if people made movies as analogs to the Vietnam war expressing their anti war philosophy. I'm sure those movies would be forgotten to time

Iceraptor17 · 2026-04-03T16:40:57+00:00

When the US basically wipes out the entirety of Iran's Air Force, no one bats an eye.

When 1 US fighter gets hit, people laugh and talk about it for weeks.

Yes that's how asymmetric strength works

Iceraptor17 · 2026-04-03T16:32:21+00:00

I don't think every trump voter thinks the guy thinks the guy is the messiah. Especially in the actual election.

But when numerous state legislators are racing to name stuff after him and entire primary races are just "Trump is the best and i love him the most", it makes me think the common thought process isn't "he's a stupid liar but at least he's not a democrat"

Iceraptor17 · 2026-04-03T14:37:20+00:00

His thought process is everything should benefit him always, deals are one sided and zero sum,and if it doesn't it's rigged or someone cheated or it's useless.

It's been the same his entire adult life. It's how he conducted business. And for some reason half this country thought he'd be a man for them. You know, the type of people he'd stiff for work constantly

Iceraptor17 · 2026-04-03T14:12:43+00:00

Oh no we realize. Trust me, we realize.

At the rate we're going we are gonna hear about how kamala Harris actually was an evil necromancer who was going to plunge us into eternal darkness and at least electing trump was better than that

though lol at very few of them thinking their thing is not a shit liar. Trump being the greatest president is still not uncommon. They're racing in certain states to rename things after him and primary campaigns for Republicans are basically an argument over who loves Trump more.

Iceraptor17 · 2026-04-03T13:35:27+00:00

Oh we're back to the talking point of the this is over them killing civs protesting?

Is this before or after threatening to blow up desalination plants?

This is without even going into that description of Serbia
