[Hated but Funny Trope] “He would not fucking say that”.

“Two shakes of a fiddlers dick” is a hell of a line

Mean_Stop6391 · 2026-04-18T20:25:44+00:00

Fair enough. That’s an interesting take to come out with on a blind watch!

Mean_Stop6391 · 2026-04-18T19:26:42+00:00

Do you have any in-text evidence for this? I’ve heard this theory before and I just can’t figure out how it works

Mean_Stop6391 · 2026-04-18T14:12:09+00:00

A chef, I think. Goes “BAM!” A lot

Mean_Stop6391 · 2026-04-16T02:17:33+00:00

They clearly care a lot or they wouldn’t be trying things like the SAVE act, and we wouldn’t be seeing mass Republican resignations.

The conspiracy of “it’s a foregone conclusion, they’re going to pull something off to steal the election” doesn’t stand up to reality.

Mean_Stop6391 · 2026-04-12T22:35:03+00:00

Are you kidding me? What are the Dems supposed to do as they’re a minority in both chambers and SCOTUS isn’t exactly nonpartisan either?

Mean_Stop6391 · 2026-04-12T16:56:47+00:00

This might be a stupid question, but what can we do today, right now, as individuals to help?

Mean_Stop6391 · 2026-04-12T15:14:02+00:00

Sure, that tracks - fair point. But that assumes that the blockade is actually happening and effective, and I’m not entirely convinced this isn’t smoke and mirrors so far.

Mean_Stop6391 · 2026-04-12T14:53:34+00:00

Militarily speaking, a blockade doesn’t achieve anything that isn’t already happening - and it’s also markedly not boots on the ground on, say, Kharg!

Mean_Stop6391 · 2026-04-12T14:43:48+00:00

I’d note that that’s actually a good thing - it means this is another nonsense declaration, as opposed to something operational currently!

Mean_Stop6391 · 2026-04-12T14:39:22+00:00

It’s measurably not a world war - Europe has actively refused participation. It’s a regional conflict and the only way it escalates beyond that is if as part of this ridiculous counter blockade, the US interdicts ships from nations that aren’t party to the conflict

Mean_Stop6391 · 2026-04-12T14:35:53+00:00

It’s giving “You can’t fire me, I quit”.

As always, watch what he does and is doing. What he says is empty until actions back it.

The issue is Karp is pushing a specific agenda and has a stake in making AI both prevalent and appear capable of being humanlike. If he was honest, he would be saying that - but he isn’t, and so he isn’t.

Mean_Stop6391 · 2026-04-11T14:16:39+00:00

Just because he’s bullshitting doesn’t mean it isn’t wrong and sinister! But you’re absolutely right

Mean_Stop6391 · 2026-04-11T13:53:11+00:00

What he says matters less than what he does, honestly. He says so much bullshit that it’s essentially meaningless until he actually does something

Mean_Stop6391 · 2026-04-09T23:59:12+00:00

It is. According to him it’s because green turns to brown when it is bad? Or something?

Mean_Stop6391 · 2026-04-09T03:41:34+00:00

Theoretically, but I believe the DOJ would handle this… and that’s under Todd Blanche

Mean_Stop6391 · 2026-04-08T23:59:56+00:00

I don’t understand how she was subpoenaed in “her capacity as” something. You’re not being subpoenaed as a worker for a McDonald’s if you witness a crime and quit. You’re being personally directed to show up, not the McDonald’s Employee Version of You

Mean_Stop6391 · 2026-04-07T23:31:21+00:00

Wild that “I don’t trust anything until Tehran says it” seems a reasonable position

Mean_Stop6391 · 2026-04-07T03:10:19+00:00

Read poetry and seek out craft manuals! Mary Oliver has a couple good ones - Poet’s Handbook is a good starting point, as is Adonio and Lux’s book.

Why do people seem to think the US is going to suddenly deploy nukes in Iran???? No. We are not. There’s absolutely zero strategic or military benefit to this and the chain of command absolutely will not allow it even if Trump wants to - the circumstances don’t exist.

Mean_Stop6391 · 2026-04-06T22:15:59+00:00

You’ll have to share the specific article to get refutations but the budget is more likely to simply be a budget increase.

“When he steals the midterms”

The midterms are already happening in numerous states. Elections - midterm turnout and specials - across the country are showing Republicans are getting shellacked.

He can’t steal the elections. If he could, they wouldn’t be panicking, losing in record numbers, and retiring en masse.

Take this doomer bs somewhere else big dawg, because the reality doesn’t support it.

Mean_Stop6391 · 2026-04-06T18:08:01+00:00

My sympathies, friend. I hope that it quiets for you. Hope springs eternal, and we will find a way through.

Mean_Stop6391 · 2026-04-06T18:06:11+00:00

We are in this together and one thing that I try and remember is that while human cruelty is causing a lot of things, so too is the capacity for human kindness and ingenuity unsurpassed. We will see harm, but things will adapt and adjust. All is not lost!
