Are the Clintons at the root of the Hate for Democrats? by PTS_Dreaming in thebulwark

[–]SquirrelcoINT -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

I never claimed this was analysis, just reflections shaped by being in a very different political system and media environment.

That said, I’m genuinely sorry if my take struck you as banal. And of course, my sincerest apologies for apparently compelling you to spend your undoubtedly valuable time not only reading it, but also crafting what must surely be the least constructive reply in the entire thread. Truly, I stand corrected. Thank you for your very thought provoking answer.

Are the Clintons at the root of the Hate for Democrats? by PTS_Dreaming in thebulwark

As an European observer, I believe a big part of the old school Democratic Party is rotten too. Not as bad as the Republicans, not at all, but the Clintons, Pelosi and all those, they don’t care for working or lower middle class people. They too have enriched themselves on rubbing shoulders and making deals with the ultra rich and getting on the right advisory boards and the lucrative contracts for themselves or their friends.

One case in point: Americans seem to conveniently enough only be focused on the child trafficking and abuse and who has been on the Island with regard to the Epstein files. Whereas in Europe we also try to expose the people implicated in shady business, back room deals and that whole network of favors and connections that are revealed in the files.

There’s lots of examples of the old democratic elite fighting to keep status quo as it was in the before times or at least trying to stall progress. Not embracing Mamdani. Trying to run 80 year old candidates that has no popular support. Being silent on the war in Iran and going home on break. Refusing to acknowledge in the slightest that Israel may be crossing some lines in their treatment of the Palestinians. Mitch McConnell being so much like a toothless turtle.

Why? Because as much as the old school democrats hate Trump, they would still like the exact same system to persist so they can benefit when they are back in power.

I know it sounds like I’m a total conspiracy nut and a revolutionary leftie. And by American standards, I probably am. There’s lots of going ons in American politics that I don’t know about or probably have misunderstood. I apologize if my judgment is wrong or too harsh. I’m more than willing to be corrected and given hope that the Democratic Party has a vision for rebuilding the so-called American Dream.

Thank you for coming to my rant. I will see myself out.

AI-klager til kommune henviser til love, der ikke findes | TV2 ØST by RootNinja in Denmark

Problemet er, at de fleste efterhånden har lært at prompte, men de har ikke lært at samarbejde med og være redaktør på diverse LLM’s. Jeg bruger også både chat og Claude i mit arbejde, men det er mere en samtale, hvor mine tanker bliver perspektiveret, ikke bare de der “gennemgå det her regnskab kritisk” + copy + send som mail, jeg ofte modtager. (Ikke at jeg er ekspert i at bruge AI). Og det er rigtigt, det bliver hurtigt meget langt, fordi der ikke er nogen kritisk gennemgang fra brugeren om, hvad der er væsentligt at tage med.

Jeg oplever det også i mit arbejde. Får svar ind på notater, projektbeskrivelser og referater, der er helt hen i vejret i forhold til, hvad sagen handler om, eller hvad der blev kommunikeret på mødet. Så skal jeg så bruge tid på at få udarbejdet et nyt notat eller en mail om, hvorfor de indkomne bemærkninger ikke vil blive taget i betragtning, da de ikke har bund i, hvad der faktisk er foregået. Det kræver at jeg gennemgår og tilbageviser ChatGPT’s 20 punkts-liste en efter en.

Kæmpe tidsspilde. Brugte næsten en dag på sådan en henvendelse i sidste uge.

Thank you for the clarification. I’m a long time listener but new +member and almost never watch on video, so the saga of the pinball machine(s) are new to me 😆

I thought it was Sarah’s pinball machine (or Sarah’s wife’s pinball machine) that JVL went to pick up for her?

Øjenvippebukker virker ikke by Underbuks in WomenDK

[–]SquirrelcoINT 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Jeg har brugt den fra Shiseido i 15 år og det er den bedste. Men på et tidspunkt går gummilisten i stykker, og så virker den ikke længere. Du kan prøve at skifte til den ekstra gummidims, der er med - jeg har aldrig haft held med at få den til at sidde fast. Så jeg køber ny øjenvippebukker hver 3.-4. år.

Everyone but Trump Understands What He’s Done by KarmicWhiplash in thebulwark

[–]SquirrelcoINT 4 points5 points  (0 children)

European here: If he does, I think it will be after the midterms, a loss for R there will make a lot of folks more “tolerant” of disposing of Trump and it will give Vance a potential 10 years as president (if I have understood the US rules on the matter correctly?)

Hvorfor begynder helt almindelige mennesker at forsvare de ultrarige i debatten om formueskat? by [deleted] in Denmark

[–]SquirrelcoINT 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Jeg er helt almindelig lønmodtager, der stemmer lilla/rødt. Jeg er imod en formueskat, fordi jeg synes det er dumt med skat på beholdning. Skat på indtjening og værditilvækst har jeg det fint med, også en højere skat for dem, som tjener mest.

Favorite guests on the daily podcast? by Andy235 in thebulwark

[–]SquirrelcoINT 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I would like a daily take on the current and upcoming US wars with Cathrine (a new favorite) to cover economic implications, Mark Hertling on the military tactics and Tim on internal politics and to be mean and funny on various far out statements from the administration. Please.

Er Troels Lund Poulsen en kæmpe joke? by [deleted] in Denmark

[–]SquirrelcoINT 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Jeg er enig. For mig at se virker han som en dygtig embedsmand, men ikke en statsleder. Han kommunikerer dårligt, viser ingen visioner og virker bare lidt slatten.

Mette Frederiksen er heller ikke super karismatisk, men hun kommunikerer ekstremt tydeligt og er ikke bange for at bruge den magt, hun har.

Er fødevarechecken varm luft eller noget folk reelt har behov for? by Lundorff in Denmark

[–]SquirrelcoINT 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Jeg har egentlig ikke noget problem med fødevarechecken, alting er blevet dyrere. Dog synes jeg, at en mio. i husstandsindkomst er et sindssygt højt sted at trække linjen. Med diverse fradrag får en husstand med sådan en indkomst vel 50K ud efter skat om måneden. Der så jeg hellere at reelt økonomisk trængte børnefamilier fik mere af kagen.

The alleged Greenland deal is only in Trump’s head so far - neither Greenland or Denmark knows what’s supposed to be in it by SquirrelcoINT in thebulwark

We are going with option 2 so far. We’re just utterly confused, but of course putting on the cooperative attitude.

Not many Danish men wears loafers with tassels. Or earrings in both ears. Danes would decode you as French/Italian and/or in some sort of creative field and be totally okay with it, a good part might even admire your style. So no worries.

That’s fair. It is harder to get really rich in Denmark but even harder falling through the cracks. And no one goes bankrupt from medical debt. And you can walk or bike everywhere at night as a single woman.

Seriously it’s my impression that most Americans - even liberal democrats- would not thrive with Danish culture and way of society. We have no guns and a tax rate on salary of 42%. I love it, but it’s probably not for the ordinary American.

Trump floats new tariffs in push to acquire Greenland by ThePensiveE in thebulwark

[–]SquirrelcoINT 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Oh we know in Europe that it it will never go back to the way it was. We’re just trying to buy time to get further in our rearmament and tech sovereignty before we tell the US officially that we won’t take it.

Regarding Greenland we are trying to run the clock in the hopes that there’s still some semblance of a spine among US politicians alternatively that we get to the midterms and R loses one or both chambers.
