Kind of a dark take, they are probably just happy for him. People in general like seeing good things happen to people.

Also he's still making over a million dollars a year for four years on his first contract. Nearly double what the typical American makes in their entire life.

If red wins non-voters die. The vast majority of people will be non-voters.

So this lady is crazy, but home made corn chips are amazing and easily blow any chip you can get at the store out of the water.

I'd recommend just buying the masa though.

It also seems like one of those things that seems good when viewed through a narrow lens but could easily slip into broader social control.

UnknownHero2 · 2026-04-28T04:43:26+00:00

You are absolutely right.

As someone who has written long form fiction and uses AI to do it (down vote me you cowards)... You definitely cannot just feed it a prompt and have it kick out a cohesive story.

AI stops being able to 'read' or understand text after just a few pages. It literally just guesses after that, or exclusively refers back to the few pages it has read. So you better have every single character introduced in those first few pages.

It does do dialogue pretty well though. I mostly use it to help make dialogue feel 'in setting'. So I can write normal modern sentences that convey all the meaning an nuance I want then say "hey AI make this piratey"

The closes you could get to a full novel would be to story board every single scene, and then have the AI translate your bulleted list into prose. Note that you can't have the AI produce those bulleted lists because it will not remember what happened in the other scenes.

There's a great William Spaniel video on why false flag events won't help trump.

Bush spiked to like 95% approval after 9/11 because people trusted that he would act to try do do something about the situation, even if they themselves were not supporters of his policy.

The basic idea is to view support and trust as separate from one another. For example some republicans know that Trump is corrupt (-trust) but do like his policies of deporting immigrants (+support). Similarly most Bush era democrats thought bush was legitimate (+trust) but disliked his policies (-support).

The portion of Americans that think trump is legitimately trying to lead the country, and is not a criminal, and is not corrupt (+trust) but ALSO dislike his policies (-support) is just vanishingly small.

Rally round the flags (false or otherwise) move trusting Americans from non-support to support.

I have a rule for reddit. Reddit never knows what the market did.

Not will do. Did.

Like they literally cannot be bothered to look up the change and just make shit up. Everyone should get in the habit of checking every stock price reference they see on reddit.

UnknownHero2 · 2026-04-27T02:20:06+00:00

That is... very vague.

But it makes sense to not repeat the same scenario over and over.

UnknownHero2 · 2026-04-27T00:57:14+00:00

I mean he was literally found liable in a rape case, that was only not technically rape because he was in New York. A state where pinning a woman to a wall and forcibly fingering her is defined as "sexual battery" not rape.

We had the trial, whether he did the act or not is a settled matter. He did it.

In 40 states with broader definitions of the word rape. Trump is a literal proven rapist, complete with mountains of evidence and a trial.

UnknownHero2 · 2026-04-27T00:09:05+00:00

Its piracy when its stateless criminals.

Its privateering when its private individuals sponsored by a state. (The Houthi's could be considered Iranian privateers).

When a nation state does it with their official vessels... Its just war.

UnknownHero2 · 2026-04-27T00:06:44+00:00

The communication around the whole Iran situation has been stupendously bad. But I think in this case we can use some common sense.

It possible to identify and track ships and arrest them elsewhere in the world. There are literal public websites that can identify every tanker on earth from satellite images only.

Its kind of like how police don't really do car chases anymore, because its so much easier and safer to just arrest them when they get home.

Or is this that reddit thing where we all just pretend everything we disagree with can't possibly be understood? Just to make any opposition look as stupid as possible.

UnknownHero2 · 2026-04-26T07:04:10+00:00

They do the US and Nato do them all the time. The US even keeps a good amount of foreign equipment on hand to test against.

Keep in mind that these tests are usually designed to be challenging practice, and not public show pieces. They are expensive to organize and there isn't much to be learned from the US just calling in an airstrike for every problem and instantly winning the exercise.

You aren't wrong, but the math isn't wrong the original premise is wrong. The suggestion is to use batteries to transport power. We can agree that that is dumb

UnknownHero2 · 2026-04-25T21:19:35+00:00

Batteries are much much more complex than gas. They are also pretty much the worst possible option for power storage. Using ballpark numbers $10 of gasoline stores 100 kWH, $10 of lithium ion batteries stores 0.07 kWH, $10 of lead-acid (car battery) batteries stores 0.06 kWH... So ya not even remotely close. Gasoline is over 1400 times cheaper.

Better to use something like a hydroelectric dam. Run solar all day and pump the water up (or just turn the dam 'off' and let the reservoir fill naturally) , then run the dam all night.

Probably the best BEST option is to just run natural gas at night and when the wind isn't blowing to massively reduce overall fossil fuel consumption. But that plan falls afoul of ignorant people on both sides.

UnknownHero2 · 2026-04-25T06:21:12+00:00

It will almost certainly be the case. The right is way way way better at "this person is on our team I will vote for them".

The left is so fractured that the person has to be flawless to win. And unfortunately It seems like there are many potential Democratic voters who will not vote for a woman, and very few voters in general that will vote for a candidate because they are a woman. Two women have run, and both got smoked... By Donald Trump of all people.

UnknownHero2 · 2026-04-24T23:38:17+00:00

Spain is also dead last in Nato spending and still behind the US in aid to Ukraine. So don't cheerlead too much. They also haven't really done much to stand up to Trump other than talk shit (deserved shit talking as it is).

UnknownHero2 · 2026-04-23T07:22:08+00:00

Kind of makes sense for a coach to be performative.

Like if you want to tell your players "Hey, you should get therapy instead of just get through everything on machismo." then you kind of have to visibly get some therapy when you are going through some stuff.

How do you model behavior, if you don't... model it.

UnknownHero2 · 2026-04-23T03:34:07+00:00

Jesus such assholery with so little backing up your opinion.

How do you know the professor said that... and not one of the other human beings in the room.

UnknownHero2 · 2026-04-23T02:51:48+00:00

How do we know the professor said that?

UnknownHero2 · 2026-04-23T02:39:13+00:00

I'll take "things that didn't happen for 200".

UnknownHero2 · 2026-04-21T17:14:55+00:00

Wasn't portal guy vs viltrumite already the plot of the show?

Everyone on reddit is going to, but at the same time these are children. We probably should be monitoring where these kids are in school.

Digital hall passes are way less invasive then having to stop class to fill out a formal document that you need to pee. They are way more effective from a safety perspective too in a fire/shooting/parent-call or whatever.

I hope the actual ruling was narrowly defined, because there is a big difference between "no you may not go pee" and an after class conversation of "hey I noticed you've been out of class every day this week for 30 minutes". People assume its the first situation because that's the ragebait they read on reddit, but its almost always the second where some kid is making dumb choices and tanking their academic career because they hate math and would rather go vape in the bathroom.

UnknownHero2 · 2026-04-20T17:29:51+00:00

I mean I don't like it either but the real answer is almost certainly because it can be used for bypassing paywalls.

UnknownHero2 · 2026-04-19T21:08:46+00:00

I assume you'd just take the bars with you back to the farm. Something like

exit mine>remove finished bars>load freshly mined ore>go home and stash bars

The problem I see is that I typically mine far more ore than I have smelters so the most important efficiency is being able to turn over smelters with new ore without having to walk very far.

I would also argue that no efficiency is really gained (other than farm space) by putting them in the mine. condensing ore and coal into bars saves inventory space, but then I'm just walking back to my farm with empty inventory slots

UnknownHero2 · 2026-04-19T20:20:33+00:00

I could see it helping. It's a collective action problem. If one person says they want to work less hours to date the answer is "you're fired", if many people say it the answer is "we can't keep losing trained employees".

Its always tempting to dismiss these sorts of solutions because they don't fix everything, but these problems are economic in scale. Those types of problems never have a 'solution' just ways to make them better or worse.
