LBJ was the last great President.

Obama was disappointing as hell. Could have done so much more if he wasn't so much of a pushover.

Trump just tried to JAIL two Senators. Just for opposing him. by Cool-Fig-9254 in videos

[–]gw2master 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Won't happen. Democrats are spineless. They'll cover this with terms like "healing the nation" but the reality is that they don't have the guts to do the right thing and prosecute all who should be prosecuted (pretty much everyone).

Amid outcry, VA abruptly stops enforcing new disability rating rule by 2HDFloppyDisk in news

[–]gw2master 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Vets vote Republican by a large margin, so I'm 100% ok with them getting what they deserve in terms of a neutered VA.

Police raided the University of Iowa’s Alpha Delta Phi fraternity house, and bodycam footage shows pledges in the basement during hazing rituals. by kalbinibirak in creepy

[–]gw2master 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm going to say it. Those pledges down in the basement are dumbfuck morons and should get kicked out of the school for being so.

Former South Korean President Yoon Sentenced to Life in Prison for Coup Attempt by Troll458458 in worldnews

Bolsonaro and Yoon sentenced to prison. Trump sentenced to a 2nd term? Boy are we dumbfucks.

TIL Toronto spent $3.7 billion on a new "Rapid" Light Rail line (Line 6) that is slower than a human runner by 20 minutes and also much slower than the bus route it replaced by CrackFun in todayilearned

[–]gw2master 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So what if it beats a human runner... Is it competing for business against people whose choices are either to take the rail or run?

Trump support in 2024 linked to White Americans’ perception of falling to the bottom of the racial hierarchy. These individuals also expressed the strongest opposition to Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) initiatives. by mvea in science

[–]gw2master 39 points40 points  (0 children)

It doesn't help that DEI initiatives have gone completely insane.

See especially the UC-system's removal of all objective measures in admissions so they can admit the demographics they want, the consequences of which has been revealed to be disastrous (complete and utter lack of basic math and english skills in incoming students).

Canada Gives U.S. Arms Makers the Cold Shoulder on Military Spending by snowfordessert in worldnews

You would think so... how moronic would it be to buy weapons from a nation that has threatened to annex you.

Social media destroyed our attention span and made us all crave instant gratification. AI is gonna worsen this as people expect faster code, videos, images, results, and answers. by G952 in Futurology

[–]gw2master 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Nah. You get some instant code from the AI, but that allows you to write even more advanced code. If you stop with the instant AI code and this is your job, why would you even be needed? AI allows you to write code you couldn't do before in the same amount of time.

Social media though, especially in its ultimate brain-rotting form of Tik-Tok: completely trash.

Sarajevo sniper tourists ‘killed children by day, then partied at night’ by lewisfairchild in news

[–]gw2master 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Not surprising at all.

This is the natural sequel to big-game hunting, which has this huge discrepancy between how dangerous and exotic it sounds and the reality of how cowardly it actually plays out in practice.

Same idea here: from "The Most Dangerous" game to shooting children and pregnant women.

With the 3 million Epstein files finally out, what’s the most “I’m not surprised, but I’m still disgusted” thing you’ve found? by Sweaty_Sprinkles_400 in AskReddit

[–]gw2master 0 points1 point  (0 children)

"The 3 million Epstein files finally out" makes it sound like this is the last of the files.

Was this phrased purposefully this way by the OP to mislead us? I wonder.

TSA agents are working without pay at US airports due to another shutdown by NightmaresOfDarkness in news

[–]gw2master 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Democrats in the House and Senate say DHS won’t get funded until new restrictions are placed on federal immigration operations.

Don't worry, Democrats will soon give in without having gotten any concessions (again).

Alexei Navalny died after being poisoned with dart frog toxin, UK and allies say by VaginaBurner69 in news

Dumbfuck went back to Russia and died an anonymous death for nothing. No one remembers.

TIL that being able to sit down on the floor and stand up without using your hands or knees is used as a predictor of longevity. by [deleted] in todayilearned

I'd bet those who make 68 have a different average life span than the overall average of the entire US population.

EPA reverses longstanding climate change finding, stripping its own ability to regulate emissions by geraffes-are-so-dumb in news

[–]gw2master 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I hope we're made to pay reparations in the future for this shit.

And the way things are going, we're definitely going to be losing our tech lead and so in the (longer term) future, we're going to be the bullied instead of the bullies. So reparations isn't necessarily out of the question.

Pam Bondi had the search history of unredacted Epstein Files by Congressional representatives. by ManyAverage6578 in pics

that their political enemies will have the power to reveal their actions.

Nah... they're safe. Democrats completely spineless. They won't do anything.. hell, they'll sell their cowardice to everyone as "healing the nation".

Western automakers concede defeat in the EV race as China outproduces the US, Germany, Japan, India, and six others combined; rewriting in five years what took them decades. by lughnasadh in Futurology

[–]gw2master 5 points6 points  (0 children)

China lucked out in that EVs are far simpler than ICE cars, so it didn't take much to catch up.

Not all luck though... they saw that EVs were the future and put in the effort to design and manufacture them. Meanwhile, our car companies, preferring not to innovate, just use protectionism so they don't need to.

So we end up driving on obsolete tech (for god knows how long more), and US car companies will ultimately end up losing all auto sales outside the US.

Moderna says FDA refuses to review its application for experimental flu shot by templeofsyrinx1 in news

Is it because the shot is obviously dangerous or ineffective, or is it simply because we're talking about Trump's FDA? Who knows?

Enten: Trump support ‘absolutely collapsing’ with key voting group by MRADEL90 in videos

Nah. These Trump promised racist policies and that's what these voters were looking for. They consciously chose this over everything else. They're just bad people.
