  • These arguments are so disingenuous.

    None of us have any clue about the nuances within the bills being proposed, unless we actually take the time to read them-- which most of us have not.

    All I’m trying to argue is that AOC has a right to be concerned about an amendment because she is thinking of the unintended consequences behind the proposals.

    Of course I want Israel to receive zero fucking dollars from the US, but I am thinking of our pull out from Afghanistan and all the fucking allies left behind to die.

    There’s enough intelligence in the room to come up with something that doesn’t lead to more deaths.


  • The USA both fed the cartels and also trained and armed the Mexican Marines that combat them.

    Is that ideal? Of course the fuck not.

    Ideally, you would not have fucking meddled with our country or any other for that matter.

    But what is done is done, and if you stop funding to the various programs put in place to combat the cartels, the cartels ain’t fucking going anywhere until you dumb nuts finally ban guns-- and well, I don’t see that happening any time soon.

    I support people understanding that conflicts are far more nuanced and difficult to resolve than one would think.

    If you happened to have an unusually high IQ, why you would you choose to join Mensa, or be a moderator on Reddit for that matter?

    The smartest thing you can do is obfuscate your level of intelligence, not brag about it. That’s just how you end up doing more work and getting blamed by everyone around you.





  • We deserve the world’s anger as a nation, for much more than just this.

    Many of us are fighting, but this is a capitalist hellhole where billionaires have had the higher ground for decades and our parents only have made them stronger by deregulating the systems put in place to combat billionaires.

    Most Americans are fighting just to survive one more day.

    Tax the billionaires. Reject corporate behemoths.

    Protect your education and voting systems. Protect journalism.

    Put empathy and compassion before money, or watch your country follow the same path to capitalist hell.


  • I quit my job in public accounting for many reasons, but the primary one was the forceful adoption of LLMs to replace associates.

    I told the dimwits at the top that it was a mistake, because LLMs are incompetent even when the information fed to it was perfect, and that was rarely the case in practice.

    Our ultra wealthy clients were notorious for giving us the most incomplete and asinine information, and it often took someone with decades of experience to decipher what the fuck their personal assistants are even talking about.

    They went ahead anyway because of the high cost of wages, of course, and I made my exit because I did not wish to be complicit in such a monumental mistake.

    Lmfao the LLM they laid associates off and paid half a million dollars for made up fake ledger accounts when accounts didn’t reconcile, and none of the dumbasses left noticed in time because they hadn’t done associate-level work in decades.

    It also lied all the time, even when you asked it not to.

    The damage was done and the biggest clients started leaving, so they begged us all to come back but I got obsessed with baking bread and I ain’t about to neglect my sourdough starters to help a group of people who would lose a battle of wits against yeast.
