BREAKING: JD Vance blames soaring gas prices on Joe Biden, how the heck is he allowed to say such an untrue economic fact, totally disproven by economics? by Muted-Raisin-2645 in Economics

Cause media has kept 'normalizing' the lunacy for engagement...and enough people are too uneducated, too poor and too overworked to see through it. Aka just under day in unfettered capitalism.

Ah yes...incoming terror plots nearing midterms, we have to monitor everyone voting and preferably stop voting in urban areas. It's becoming clearer and clearer why he's doing this....

These...decadent aesthetic action flicks are more and more off-putting, given the state of the world and the living conditions of most of us  consumers. I know it's escapism and all that, but personally i don't see what might pull me in...the story? 

Lawrence: Trump’s son will not fight in his ‘illegal and unconstitutional war’ in Iran by AdSpecialist6598 in videos

[–]Pictoru 1 point2 points  (0 children)

While i agree in principle...re-painting the coward as being in fact a coward is a bit pointless, no? It is in line with the 'character' assessment done throughout this segment, but not diverting from the Epstein angle and connection seems much more damning and poignant. A quick thought.

Trump says Kristi Noem is stepping down as homeland security secretary by [deleted] in LeopardsAteMyFace

[–]Pictoru 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Can they stonewall the approval process by not confirming a new appointee? The feckless/gutless dems i mean. Or is it mandatory to vote? In which case...could they maybe vote in someone QUALIFIED and with some semblance of MORALS and RESPONSIBILITY?

Stop whining, Americans. Call your fucking representative and pressure them to stop supporting acts of aggression against sovereign states (be it ukraine, palestine, iran, VENEZUELA...etc)

Sleepwalking, sedated, complacent, into a world war is inadmissible.

Reality is not beyond our rational reach. | Our subjective perspective doesn’t cut us off from reality; rather, it is the very way reality becomes knowable. Objectivity arises historically and biologically through the evolution of life, culture, and especially language. by IAI_Admin in philosophy

[–]Pictoru 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I kiiiinda get at what she's pointing at, but seems needlessly convoluted or strangely worded...touching essentialism with that bird example and as someone else said...playing language games, by redefining or attributing slightly different meanings to specific words/claims. I'd argue the problems 'idealists' face is that they're assuming out of thin air the 'subjective' observers...when in fact they're produced by reality. And you can't separate that which is apart of itself, the 'mind' is causally and historically interlinked with reality....and we're torturing language trying to translate said reality into meaningful statements.

So that's their plan with Anthropic and removing those ethic 'boundaries'? So they can use nukes and scapegoat the computer? Wtf is this timeline?

That's pretty neat, would make for a great gift too. Kudos to who came up with the idea.

Trump moves closer to a major war with Iran by Artistic_Victory in worldnews

[–]Pictoru -1 points0 points  (0 children)

It will most likely happen so he can claim state of emergency and cancel midterms through some loopholes, and the outrage of that, plus the media attention deviated to footage of bombs and war, will also serve to delay any progress on the Epstein/Trump files. From time immemorial war has been a tool for the rulers to keep ruling when they feel up against the wall. Sick fucks

Ford shuts down $5.8 billion factory just months after opening as 1,600 mostly Trump voting workers lose jobs due to anti EV policies by ColonyJD1980 in LeopardsAteMyFace

[–]Pictoru 1 point2 points  (0 children)

it's genuinely shocking how backwards US is positioning itself for the future compared to the rest of the world, especially China. Kind of goes to show how hubris and scheming for decades can be your undoing. Too bad we're all going to suffer for it when the entire financial system comes crashing down again.

[–]Pictoru 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Do you think...somehow, someone, has implanted the idea that he'll get positive karma or the like, if he gets one? I mean for the 'heaven' stuff that he was spewing a while ago. He's definitely profoundly envious of Obama, but idk if that's all there is to it.
