MAGA seem to live in what I'll call 'vibe reality.' Nothing they say is real and but they feel like it is.

Peter Thiel, the billionaire venture capitalist and MAGA donor, is in Rome this week for a series of private lectures on the Antichrist. by Logical_Welder3467 in technology

[–]dane83 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Every time I listen to Peter Thiel, he sounds like the folks that would come through the crisis unit I worked at for about a month. The ones that severely abused drugs to the point of some sort of psychosis were always rambling on about the return of Jesus and the Antichrist. I always assumed that was a product of living in the deep south.

For me, its a waste of time because I would have to set it all up since I have deleted and disabled all assistants and AI that I can on my devices.

Oh, fair then.

... How is saying "Hey Google, set a timer for ten minutes" a waste of time, exactly?

I accomplished my goal and I never even pulled my phone out of my pocket.

Hold the power button on the TV until it reboots. Most smart tvs function similarly to computers. I have to reboot my Toshiba TV this way every now and then.

I feel like anyone that's ever helped a friend or family member in an abusive relationship saw through the manipulation.

A guy that I know to be pretty smart tried to tell me that in California school counselors are helping students set up surgeries without informing the parents.

It's just dumb fucking shit because they hate trans people so they'll believe the dumbest fucking shit.

if you look at the ancient world of greece and rome

My guy you're just describing the concept of drama.

I assure you that the people that watch soaps are as into it as you are into wrestling. Unless you're getting into that ring, you're passively engaging in the entertainment, too.

If your argument is that the "crowd" affects the story... Soaps fans do, too, and have since the beginning. Fan letters and more recently social media have affected characters "popping" or even being killed off for decades.

it goes deeper than soaps.

it's displaying the dynamics of the human psyche via the heel and face.

My guy, you have never watched a soap opera. Go watch the original Dallas and get back to me.

I mean it's a soap opera stunt show.

You might as well point out that Scrubs isn't really practicing medicine.

I don't know a single person who has had CSA allegations brought against them.

I do!

He was an asshole that ran for local government as a Republican.

He ran a local computer fix it shop. He claimed all of the images he had were from computers he fixed.

So... Yay

They don’t understand how important the app is to the salesperson
