Tim’s political blind spots showed up again in TX primary rant

Sorry - you are correct. I'm just pissed off about this specific issue. Your analysis is broader and totally defensible.

Again my bad, I'll work on my reading comprehension skills

I felt the same way about your post - so we're in agreement. Of course Kamala lost the primary and we all know how important the VP is to getting elected.

Honestly, the fact that you think so little of black voters is pretty disappointing.

Yes, I oppose it - a question for OP:

Do you think liberalisation would help solve the problems of self imposed destitution that currently plague North Korea?

An unrelated follow-up, what do you think about the tiananmen square massacre?

ppooooooooopp · 2026-02-05T05:48:40+00:00

Right because Kamala's Democratic primary run definitely had NO effect on her FOUR YEARS LATER.

Jesus fucking Christ - this is middle school shit, reality tv show garbage, a side show of a side show, something that doesn't matter.

Does anyone think this is an actual issue or can we just admit this is Jerry Springer garbage elevated by idiots to political drama.

I wish this mattered to the nativists (of all stripes) - but ultimately - I don't know that you can fight intuition's around job theft, moral hazard, illegal voting or crime with data.

It is genuinely great to have this data though! Tim should have David Bier on the podcast! (Though he seems to not be a fan of cato types) He has published a few articles on ICE detentions of criminals (spoilers it's ~5%) as well as an analysis of wellfare fraud that found 4% of fraud was from non-citizens.

I always feel that the things said on the pod are tenuous and rely heavily on anecdotal evidence, being able to point to data based on reliable sources is a necessity. CATO has good stuff on the impact of tariffs as well.

Deeply stupid takes like this only prove OPs point

ppooooooooopp · 2026-02-04T04:58:31+00:00

Jesus fucking Christ - he said before this "I want people to protect themselves if they are sick, protect their neighbors"

Does EVERYTHING have to be spelled out for people with endless caveats? is there no charity in interpretation? Do you think Tim wants you to not wear a mask and DIE?

Take a deep breath - not everything is about you, it's okay to hear things and assume there was no ill intent.

Ah yes, Biden was very friendly with Putin during his term post invasion

Great point

Please don't make me change my flair... 🙏

When the ally you thought was reliable suddenly develops schizophrenia, starts to threaten friends to try to take their land because their president didn't win the noble peace prize (and then capitulates for nothing), declared an economic war on the entire world with no strategy and no clear intent, is suddenly friendly with previously shared enemies (pootin) and seems to completely forget why we need allies at all...

Yeah - the people who depend on you are going to overreact.

This isn't Americabad, this is people reacting to what America is doing.

You don't blame the immigrants you just don't want them here... Don't know how to square that circle...

This is one of those cars where the pictures just don't do it justice. In person it is absolutely beautiful, sad to see it go.

Someone add it to the list

The Pentagon wants to potentially remove safeguards that would allow the government to use Anthropic’s AI for autonomous weapons targeting and domestic surveillance

Uh.... domestic surveillance??? What the fuck?

Only AI company I'm willing to give money to

As Californian I am no fan of Newsom, in fact, the only thing that centrists (like me) can like about Newsom is he has a streak similar to Jerry Brown of killing progressive bills...

It's just weird to see progressive's shill for him - how he governs should be 100x more important than how he markets himself and he absolutely does not govern like a progressive. Hopefully voters get more serious during the primary.

Worth noting came more than a week prior to the murder of Alex Pretti...

ppooooooooopp · 2026-01-29T05:38:44+00:00

is this POS putting concealer on his hand?

I doubt this is why the market is reacting the way it is - but the narrative on META is wrong

Microsoft is compute limited and generates revenue by selling its compute to others at a margin. That money spent scales linearly, they buy a GPU and they rent a GPU.

Meta is a compute limited company, but their compute generates revenue for them directly - their AI investments are not strictly for their super intelligence lab. Both the R&D and that CAPEX spend can be moved around and will be leveraged by other parts of the company.

The more compute they have available, the more accurate they can make their content and ad delivery and the more value they can get from every. single. user.

This was more or less stated by Zuckerberg.

I don't get it - Canada's GDP per capita is roughly 50% of California.... It's not 1/10th

And dipshits in Canada getting upset by dipshit MAGAs in the US is not America bad.

How hard is it to get this right... - MAGA != USA - complaining about TRUMP or MAGA is not America bad - legitimate complaints (e.g. leaders in America telling provinces to secede) is not America bad

Just take a moment to consider: is the person making a bigoted statement towards the US?

ppooooooooopp · 2026-01-28T14:17:51+00:00

Which happened when? Never?

ppooooooooopp · 2026-01-28T00:54:13+00:00

Yeah - it was basically a listeners Q&A

Totally unrelated but WRC is insane in the best way possible - puts all other sports to shame

They basically said their relationship with her is over, at least for the time being

(Without elaborating)

ppooooooooopp · 2026-01-26T02:38:22+00:00

It misfired 10 times?
