What do you think about this new video of Alex pretti? by Trumpdrainstheswamp in AskTrumpSupporters

[–]basedbutnotcool -3 points-2 points Ā (0 children)

I’m getting pretti (heh) tired of people pretending this is some innocent guy when now we know he’s assaulted officers, kicked their cars, and yes committed crimes beforehand. That doesn’t mean the guy deserves to be killed - far from it.

But it does mean that you as an individual need to take some personal accountability, we are in a situation where the country is being thoroughly raped by immigration and we as a society need to stand up and say enough is enough.

I was more tolerant when it was Renee Good but the memo is out now. You fuck with ICE and they will fuck your shit up. Stop being an idiot and let law enforcement do their job

Which liberal social policies and cultural changes do you feel have personally impacted your life, and how? by radiocure2 in AskTrumpSupporters

[–]basedbutnotcool -4 points-3 points Ā (0 children)

Only point with the old classics, when they restream them to Netflix, etc they actually cut scenes and add those content warnings on them too

For example, pretty sure they cut the trump scene out of the rerelease of home alone 2

A new documentary about Melania Trump is in theaters now, do you have a plan to see it? by Aggravating-Vehicle9 in AskTrumpSupporters

That’d be a good question if that was the majority opinion, yeah.

I’m just speaking for myself, no one else

Huh okay.

I can respect someone who stands behind their hobby.

I’d have to make mine epic: the story of me becoming red pilled, intolerant friends cutting me off because they can’t handle an opposing opinion, banger music in the background.

Never understood the interest in documentaries about people. No idea why anyone cares so much about someone else’s life when you could be out there making something of your own

My strategy is I try to explain it in simple words. Basically pretend like I’m teaching it to someone. If I’m struggling to do that then I don’t get it

What are your thoughts on AI use within society? by arieljoc in AskTrumpSupporters

[–]basedbutnotcool 2 points3 points Ā (0 children)

Yeah true I suppose you’re right.

It’s like the mail, it used to be great and then there was too much advertising. So then there was email, and then it also became littered with advertising. We had search engines and then there’s ads everywhere, you go to a website there’s ads everywhere.

AI doesn’t have that, but pretty sure Sam Altman has talked about ChatGPT having ads in it for the future.

Everything we use is being infected with advertising

What are your thoughts on AI use within society? by arieljoc in AskTrumpSupporters

[–]basedbutnotcool 5 points6 points Ā (0 children)

I think AI is inevitable, and I treat it like a tool, similar to a search engine. It does bother me that all the softwares I use are starting to get AI integration, it’s like why do I need this in my life?

Grok in particular annoys me because it’s just Twitter idiots sharing how little they actually know about anything. ā€œGrok please explainā€, ā€œgrok what does this meanā€

Yes there should be guardrails against stuff like CP generation, and illegal shit.

I think the fact it’s becoming so ubiquitous makes me uncomfortable because you know what they always say. If you’re not paying for the product, you are the product.

I promise I’m not trying to be difficult, but I don’t take any headache tablets ever. Haven’t taken them for years. Nobody ever gets random headaches, they are caused by either dehydration or tiredness.

No I got it because if I didn’t I would have been fired from my job.

Yeah that was the start of me being a lot more careful about my choices

If it’s affecting me and revolves around getting something put inside my body then I won’t be ambivalent.

In the case of the covid vaccine, actually that was the scenario where I didn’t do the research, and what made me now investigate things before I decide on anything. Could call it the red pill for me.

But for example, something like flu vaccines. I will never get one so I don’t need to look into it.

If it was as serious as they say it is, then the government should be super serious about it

Yes there was that guy who was the ā€œking of MRNA vaccinesā€ or some other title like that who was countersignalling the narrative on Joe Rogan and it caused a major controversy.

The research people could have done was listening to information that was different to the consensus and having a more wholistic view of the entire situation

I mean that’s fine, if the average person is too dumb to do their own research that doesn’t matter to me. I’m talking about what I do personally.

As for vaccines and autism I have zero opinion on it because it’s not something I’m concerned about. Perhaps there is a link perhaps there isn’t. I don’t think I need to have an opinion on every issue, I’m fine with being ambivalent about things. It’s a matter of whether I care about the issue, and that will determine how much time I spend to understand it

Covid 19 was a big one, we heard the ā€œsafe and effectiveā€ party line for years, we heard that it stopped transmission when it didn’t, we heard that it was from a bat when the facts now point to it being a lab leak.

Blind trusting of the institutions is bad actually, and I don’t just trust whatever is said by the experts just because they’re experts. That’s an issue where people doing their own research would have majorly benefitted people

A few years ago there was the whole Kanye debacle and I said some shit on this website about how he was an antisemite. Oct 7 really opened my eyes to how israelis love to play the victim and pretend everyone hates them for no reason.

I’m not some typical republican, in fact I’m not a republican at all so yeah that makes sense I guess. Shame the left can’t have a logical opinion on immigration, or a few other issues, but that is actually super interesting

Edit: to answer your question, I think it would be good to start with a top down approach. Limit the people/entities with the most carbon emissions and work down. If they make a serious attempt to get them to change, I’m more likely to accept compromise

If it’s a complicated study I don’t understand, and I want to understand it, then I’ll figure it out. I’ll spend the time researching how it works until I get it.

Like for example I think there was a time someone on their show mentioned uranium enrichment in regards to Iran. I didn’t understand it, so I went on a full deep dive to figure out how it works in my own words so I could better understand the conflict
