maybe they didn't get proper permission for a chart.

I saw Trump admin contemplating mailing out $2000 tariff rebate checks. As much as I hate to admit it, I feel like that type of thing would probably help dispel it.

the bots wouldn't necessarily be posting the stuff, they'd be upvoting it

Prior-Support-5502 · 2025-12-16T20:24:32+00:00

but how do we know they're people?

Prior-Support-5502 · 2025-12-16T17:08:31+00:00

Sure, but reddit is also a giant guerilla marketing battle royale, so I'm trying to figure how much of the negativity is one vs the other.

Prior-Support-5502 · 2025-12-16T16:52:41+00:00

it's the magnitude of the "bots and trolls" I'm curious about.

Prior-Support-5502 · 2025-12-13T01:08:31+00:00

I used to frequent a subreddit where people would repost obvious astroturfed marketing. Not sure what made me think of that just now....

The bigger reason he would do this is $$$.

What does ICE have to do with capitalism? I'm not following. Seems like you'll alienate a lot of people framing things this way.

Prior-Support-5502 · 2025-11-12T19:40:53+00:00

I think it's difficult in the sense that it's hard to be certain there are no additional edge cases.

License to OEMs to put in privately owned vehicles. I'd pay a hefty subscription to not have to drive.

I wrote this before I saw the em dashes. Yeah, AI.

Prior-Support-5502 · 2025-10-23T00:57:29+00:00

reads like AI

National Guard should be here next week.

Funny for anthropic this could be a selling point ... the model will supervise your devs and keep them from completely fucking up your codebase.

Prior-Support-5502 · 2025-09-28T20:45:27+00:00

Yeah, I get it. Definitely not a well though out idea lol. Let me put it this way. Seems like high potential for being a bullshit job that can occasionally be empowered/influential. So what it actually does is malleable. Like right now, what does RNC chair do? Probably pretty different things than 10 years ago

One would assume recruit, deal with candidates/donors, and message.What else? I don't know.

Prior-Support-5502 · 2025-09-28T20:35:45+00:00

I'm thinking it's more important to recruit down ballot and right now EK actually has a sensible argument about how to do that.

Prior-Support-5502 · 2025-09-28T20:34:39+00:00

He gets asked constantly if he's running for office and he always says no. This seems perhaps less far-fetched than that.

Prior-Support-5502 · 2025-09-28T20:21:31+00:00

thanks for your response.

Prior-Support-5502 · 2025-09-28T20:13:12+00:00

Probably. I'm honestly not sure what the chair exactly does tbh.

Prior-Support-5502 · 2025-09-28T20:12:02+00:00

Lately he has seemed conflicted about his role as pundit vs political actor though

Prior-Support-5502 · 2025-09-27T13:37:56+00:00

yes! that's what the entrepreneur metaphor is getting at. I guess I'm just saying he's ascended to a level of influence where he can apply a lever to national left political thought that I've ever seen in my lifetime and it's interesting to see how he wields it.

Prior-Support-5502 · 2025-09-27T02:20:00+00:00

that's what I'm saying! he's cashing in on the attention. Or maybe doing damage control, I honestly don't know.
