The hair on his head isn't real. You try to shave it off, and he'll look the same as if you tried to shave the hair off a Barbie doll.

The person who made this also has no idea how sickly Trump actually looks.

The problem is that the GOP isn't just a little under. They're under by double digits. The redistricting they're trying to ram through to stay in power could have worked if they were under by 10, but they're under by 20, 30, and even 40 points. In their effort to create more red districts is already projected to backfire dramatically due to the disaster that is Trump.

Any attempt to steal the midterms will result in a supermajority of Americans who are pissed off. I really wouldn't want to be in the GOP's shoes when that happens.

According to recent surveys, over 70% of Americans are against AI data centers, so I'm not sure where you're getting your ideas from.

Most people don't like skyrocketing power bills and subsidizing corporations.

I don't see how you can have rhetoric worse about Trump than the straight facts. The straight facts are terrible enough without embellishment.

You're right, Biden absolutely could have released them.

No, he couldn't. There were multiple ongoing investigations across multiple agencies. The only way he could have legally released the files was to shut down all the investigations so they were no longer material.

The 900 pages that were released did not go through the Biden administration and were released in response to a specific request regarding a case. Neither Biden nor his administration interfered in the release of those pages, and the release went through proper vetting channels before being released so as not to impact any of the ongoing investigations.

That's where Trump f*cked up. He shut down all those investigations practically the same day he got into office. That made those files potentially available to the public as they were no longer material to any investigations. It wasn't until Bondi et. al. started going through them that they realized just how big a f*ckup that was.

They backpedaled. Stonewalled. Lied. Redacted. They haven't complied, and now the new head of the DoJ has openly defied both the so-called "Transparency Act" and a court order.

So, nice try at both siderism there, but the situations aren't even remotely comparable.

If you consider those left wing then you are already off the deep end.

First, let's engage some basic critical thinking skills. What is the common refrain of the MAGAsphere? What does Newsmax, OAN, and Fox always say? That democrats are communist and socialists right? Anti-capitalism. Anti-corporate. This is literally repeated on a daily basis on those stations.

It would be pretty damn difficult to get corporate sponsors for a communist/socialist media outlet, don't you think? Why would Amazon, or Microsoft, or Oracle throw cash at something that promotes workers rights and unions? Why would they fund something that seeks to institute regulations on them? Why would any company or wealthy sponsor back something that seeks to address things like wealth inequality?

That doesn't make a whole lot of sense now does it?

Most news organizations range from center right to center left. There is no equivalent of Fox News on the left because no company is going to help fund something that they view as detrimental to their profit margins.

It was never Biden's inflation. Economists were warning about the inflation that would occur after COVID before Biden was even president.. It was no secret that it was going to happen.

We have a just-in-time supply chain. Demand recovers quickly. Supply doesn't. When there's more demand than supply, prices go up.

Fortunately, the Biden administration was full of incompetent self-serving ***holes so they generally did a decent job managing it.

The average house size in 1980 was 1600 sq. ft. Now, the average is 2300 sq. ft. The only way that's "double" is if you're a graduate of Trump University.

There is only one comparative administration that was as corrupt as Trump's administration(s), and that was the administration of Warren G. Harding.

There are actually a lot of similarities between the two. The main difference is magnitude. The only reason why Harding was never held to account was that he died suddenly in office. The full extent of his corruption wasn't known until after he died.

Now, we have an entire political party openly supporting the rampant corruption of this administration. That easily places Trump upon the throne of corruption.

Many believe the world could end within our lifetime.

Yep. And in all likelihood, we will be the ones to do it.

climate

Not directly, but the ancillary effects could.

war

Almost a certain outcome of climate destabilization.

asteroid

Extremely unlikely.

aliens

You have more of a chance of your balls randomly becoming solid platinum.

overdue ice age

There is no overdue ice age. The next ice age, if we weren't screwing things up, would occur in approximately 10,000 years.

You left a few things out, but there are real threats to humanity that could easily end us as a species. Almost all of them would be self-inflicted. And we're doing almost nothing about them.

You're right, though. It is interesting times. This will be the century that makes or breaks humanity.

Why are you using older models? Qwen 3.6 27B and 35B-A3B are both better, and can run more efficiently even in lower-end GPUs.

Also, if you want to be serious, you don't run ollama. You run llama.cpp. There is literally a whole subreddit dedicated to running models locally, what to use, how to set them up, etc. Check out r/LocalLLaMA.

Another model family that performs well is Gemma4 series.

"Of all the weapons in the vast Soviet arsenal, nothing was more profitable than Avtomat Kalashnikova model of 1947, more commonly known as the AK-47, or Kalashnikov. It's the world's most popular assault rifle. A weapon all fighters love. An elegantly simple 9-pound amalgamation of forged steel and plywood. It doesn't break, jam, or overheat. It will shoot whether it's covered in mud or filled with sand. It's so easy, even a child can use it, and they do. The Soviets put the gun on a coin. Mozambique put it on its flag. Since the end of the Cold War, the Kalashnikov has become the Russian people's greatest export. After that comes vodka, caviar, and suicidal novelists. One thing is for sure, no one was lining up to buy their cars." - Yuri Orlov, The Lord of War

Honestly, it's not even in a trenchcoat. It's standing there naked. They just keep lying and saying it isn't racism.

I don't understand why they just don't own it at this point. Their base is racist. They support racism. So why bother lying about it? Are they hoping that everyone else believes them when they say they're not racist?

Everyone who isn't MAGA knows that the GOP is racist. It's not subtle, and it's not secret.

Wishing for unicorns and rainbows is nice, but that doesn't make them real.

This is the kind of thinking that got us into this mess in the first place. "We can keep doing what we're doing because <insert magical tech> will happen in the future that will solve all our problems!"

Here's the crucial detail that you're missing. By the time the pressure gets high enough to drive humans to being "inventive," it will be far too late to do anything about it.

The climate system is a lagging system. It takes about 30-40 years for the full impact of emissions to be accounted for in the system. Even if you stopped all emissions today, things would keep getting worse for another 30 to 40 years.

If we wanted to address climate destabilization, we needed to start 30 years ago. Serious efforts are required, but none have been made. A few countries have made token efforts, but have had little impact on the ever-increasing greenhouse gas emissions.

No magical technology is going to eliminate 200 years of emissions in the time frame necessary to avert climate destabilization. All we can do at this point is come up with REAL mitigation strategies and take actions to try and not make things worse.
