I think this theory covers about 80% of the sudden change in behaviour. The last 20% can probably be attributed to the fact that cockerals are arseholes, so they might have also pissed off the peacock.
They will flail around until they find themselves a new messiah to worship, because this movement won't die when Trump is gone. But they will never clean up their mess. They'll just make it worse.
Sounds like that stroke a few years ago left him with some serious brain damage, and radically changed his political opinions/ideology (are those two related???).
I'm curious about this too. I know that on the latest version of Ollama it's possible to install OpenClaw. But I assumed you needed to point it to a paid API (Claude, ChatGPT, Grok, etc.) for it to really work. But yeah, maybe it works with Qwen 3 or similar models?
I guess a major factor to this is what your system resources look like, especially howmuch RAM you have. And therefore which model you are hosting locally.
Yup. They believe what they want to hear. A few repeats of the "fake news! doctored images! liberal media persecution!" mantra from their lord and savior, and their outage will be redirected onto 'the left', and any internal conflicts they have will fade into numbness and blind adulation.
I think you've got the nail on the head here. At first glance this is an outlandish list of scenarios. But to anyone whose paying attention to the news and can read between the lines, all of these bullet points are alarmingly viable.
It can be a factor for some. Personally, I think I'm happier now overall than I was a couple of decades ago. Not to say I don't get cranky and irritable sometimes, because that definitely happens. Maybe moreso now. But I think that's because I just don't have the tolerance for nonsense.
But I'm fairly content with life. And my attitude towards people who have different lifestyle to me had mellowed out, because life's too short. I think that has helped with my overall happiness quite a lot.
I'd be even happier if the wider world wasn't going to shit. But eh, it is what it is.
I now have a mental image of this guy rushing home after class each day, jumping on his computer, and going "maybe Trump won't be mentioned in the files at all today!...... No, nevermind. He's still in there, a lot. Damn. Well, maybe tomorrow!"
He's already lied under oath (e.g. about how many times Trump is mentioned in the Epstein Files). Him being depositioned wouldn't mean squat.
