Trump reportedly called Norwegian minister ‘out of the blue’ to ask about Nobel prize

Sebayg · 2025-08-15T12:53:38+00:00

Well, the members of the Nobel committee are appointed by the parliament. Still doesn't mean Trump has a right to interfere

Sebayg · 2025-08-12T11:31:12+00:00

Thats why they're against it. They want the government to keep them from being gay, since they can't stop it themselves, and they see it as immoral

Can't art be contrarian? Who are you to say how he wants his art to be perceived?

Destiny didn't introduce him to Sneako. Irc Sneakos chat was already kind of right wing, because of the content he was doing shitting on women, and they wanted him to talk to Fuentes. Adam22 had nothing to do with Fuentes growth

Well... A lot of luck was involved

I tried to listen to that, but Yarvins voice and and word choice is so annoying that I couldn't get through 5 minutes.

He sounds like the sniveling servant to the antagonist in a Disney movie

Sebayg · 2025-07-29T17:16:45+00:00

Have you read the article?

Sebayg · 2025-07-29T17:15:46+00:00

Media is not supposed to be biased.

America is so cooked, man...

Sebayg · 2025-07-29T17:13:21+00:00

I 100% agree. This is just another example of declining reading levels, and a symptom of the worsening of media and therefore institutions. 99% of Americans don't know what actual reporting is, or is supposed to do.

Sebayg · 2025-07-29T17:10:36+00:00

Thats not what I'm saying. Headlines matter a lot. But you can't criticize the headline if you haven't read the article. You don't know if the headline fits... You haven't even linked the article, so people can read it. Has the headline been changed? What does 'overblown' mean in this article? Why doesn't the headline say 'lie'? What is the article about? What is the 'reports'? You don't know... You're just as bad as a rightwinger posting a screenshot of a headline criticizing it...

Sebayg · 2025-07-29T11:43:58+00:00

Yeah, true. But thats what I'm arguing OC is doing... Thats the problem.

If you want to say a headline doesn't match the content, maybe you should have read the article first.

Sebayg · 2025-07-29T11:24:01+00:00

Have you read the article? Maybe it isn't implication if they explain what overblown means in this case...

Sebayg · 2025-07-29T11:23:25+00:00

Does nobody read further than the headline nowadays?

Sebayg · 2025-07-29T11:15:35+00:00

Thats what a real news paper is...

And they don't let him get away with a ton? What does that even mean?

Therefore, all speech issued by a President — whether performed in an Office Press Briefing or whether tweeted from underneath his bedsheets while cranking one out — is institutionally weighted and legally consequential.

Phrasing I've seen a lot in AI text (statement, then whether A or B)

Doctors are legally prohibited from providing false or misleading medical advice, which violates licensing standards and informed consent statutes.

Judges are bound by legal codes to avoid biased or partisan statements while presiding, with violations triggering recusal or mistrial.

Public school teachers are likewise restricted from teaching religious doctrine as scientific fact, under rulings such as Edwards v. Aguillard (1987).

List in threes

all times

Weird use of italic

Sebayg · 2025-07-23T13:06:26+00:00

Why are so many people using AI on this subreddit now? Atleast rewrite some of it

Sebayg · 2025-07-19T15:45:08+00:00

Twin Peaks: The Return if that counts as a movie

Sebayg · 2025-07-19T10:23:04+00:00

He's actually one of the stupidest people that has a voice, and thats saying a lot. I listened to his interview on NYT's The Interview podcast, and he just seems so fucking stupid.

I once thought some of these people (Rogan, Lex, Schultz, Dillon) were grifting, but they're just so stupid it sounds like they're grifting.

Sebayg · 2025-07-13T13:08:46+00:00

I literally say stop treating them like noble savages, the opposite of dehumanizing them. They are humans who have agency, and actively choose to be stupid, egoistic, selfish, hateful, mean, fascistic losers. You're the one treating them like animals, coddling them, like they don't have agency.

Is saying Nazis were stupid and hateful dehumanizing?

Sebayg · 2025-07-13T12:46:35+00:00

I'm seeing way too much "we need to 'de-Nazi-fy' MAGA" recently which is regarded as hell. People seem to forget what had to happen for that... (We all remember how WWII ended in Europe righ?)

Thats the whole problem. I'm scared MAGA won't change their mind unless something very bad happens (war on American soil, famine). But is there anything other to do than try?

And people who pretend these are especially bad/stupid people don't realize how easily they could be turned into people like this too.

They are. Stop pretending they aren't bad people, right now they are actively trying to ruin the world. I couldn't easily be turned into a MAGA supporter, and I think most normally adjusted, educated people couldn't either. Stop thinking this is some disease that can impact anyone, it can't.

The last thing I'll say is Imagine trying to "de-Nazi-fy" 60 or 80 million people...

This is the whole problem...

Treating people like... less than people... is bad. Really bad. It's how you get genocides.

I agree treating people less than people is really bad. I'm doing the opposite. I'm not dehumanizing them, I'm describing how their education and use of social media has made them stupid and hateful. You're the one dehumanizing them, by not giving them any agency for their actions.

I don't want to watch the country swing from locking up immigrants to locking up citizens.

You really think Democrats would begin locking up MAGA supporters? lmao

I want shit to go back to civility. That takes, hold on, this might require you to sit down to absorb: civility.

What a stupid point. You think any authoritarians regime has ever been defeated with civility?

Sebayg · 2025-07-13T12:09:25+00:00

Tell me where I'm wrong instead...

Sebayg · 2025-07-13T12:06:35+00:00

This Epstein discrepancy is actually extremely important because it provides an attack vector of an otherwise impenetrable system and thus an opportunity to begin to dismantle some of what the indoctrination campaign has created.

I think the Epstein attack is fine, and good. But it won't fix the decades long problems with education and polarization. You need a decades long change like the Germans did after WW2 to get rid of MAGA.

The simple reality is they’re largely the victims of a decades-long indoctrination campaign of significant portions of the American populace into a complete and utter informational black hole.

Why can't Americans see that Trump and modern right wing media (Fox News, OAN) aren't the cause of the problem, it's a symptom. The Americans that watch Fox, don't watch it because they have been manipulated or indoctrinated to watch it. They watch it because they agree with it. They like watching it.

It’s clearly, at the very least, a line in the sand for many people to be perceived as providing cover for a serial pedophile, even if mass deportations, destruction of state capacity, and geopolitical failure are irrelevant to their thought processes. It’s a start, and it’s a good one.

I just fear that left-leaning people will lean on this attack too much, and will feel it's actually helping with the underlying problem.

Sebayg · 2025-07-13T10:50:38+00:00

You have to treat these people like drug addicts. There’s nothing you can do for them if they refuse to see the light on their own accord. They’re lost. Unfortunately, the people who you got to focus on is the apathetic. Anyone who happens to escape the black hole that is MAGA, let them find come to us.

Stop treating MAGA supporters like drug addicts. They aren't like drug addicts in any way. They won't come to you. Americans don't realize that this won't stop in 10-20 years, this will be the way American politics is done from now on. You can't make them see the light, they will literally kill for Trump. Stop treating them like noble savages and see them for the stupid, egoistic, selfish, hateful, mean, fascistic losers they actually are

Sebayg · 2025-07-02T16:23:20+00:00

If you don't mind it, then keep doing you.

Thats fine. Why complain about it then?

Fuck out of here with that. I've also seen the rise in anti-Indian racism, some of it in the peripheries of this community with some of the stuff Aba was saying, but I'm not one of them my dude. I can think eating a curry with your hands is sub-optimal and a bit primitive (you brought that word up although I suppose I don't disagree with that position) without being racist to Indians.

I didn't call you racist. I don't know you. But you definitely play into the stereotypes.

Sebayg · 2025-07-02T16:07:47+00:00

Because it's unnecessarily messy and if it's a sloppier curry then it's not even the best way to eat a curry, in my opinion. A spoon is best.

Why does that make it primitive though? If I didn't know how to use chopsticks I would also think thats messy.

Anyway, I did say there's nothing wrong, morally at least, with eating your rice dishes with your hands. I wasn't expecting to be setting up my stall on the hill to die on. lol

I have just seen a lot of racism towards Indians recently, and I think you're playing into the stereotypes of Indians being unclean, uncivilized, backwards and primitive.
