  • We're all calling the old custom 747 -- the one with all the gov-spec classified countermeasures, the one that's cost us $2 billion, the one that's full of real human civilians -- we're calling that the "decoy plane" now.

  • My instinct is that the non-rightwing-shill media are never going to be loud and dumb enough to reach his fans, to change the currents set up by the loud and dumb rightwing-shill media outlets.

    We would need every news outlet, every pundit, every talking head on the internet to tie him to his failures in a radically simplistic, one-sided, emotional way, 24/7, over and over again for years:

    "trump interferes with vaccines for children; why does trump hate America so much?"

    "trump wrecks international shipping with outburst of violence; why does trump hate America so much?"

    "trump covers up food contamination for political donors; why does trump hate America so much?"

    "trump sabotages American farmers with (tariffs / parasites); why does trump hate America so much?"

    "trump sabotages American military with (disease / shortages / ridiculous deployment requirements); why does trump hate America so much?"

    I'm doubtful that this will be possible.

  • So the US presidential plane, operated and supported by the best-funded and most technologically advanced air force in the world, isn't safe from Iranian missiles?

    It's not the sort of thing an administration would admit to, if that administration actually had American geopolitical interests at heart.

  • I appreciate all the work you put into writing about and belittling my experiences

    What experiences?

    More importantly I’m also empathetic

    Heroin addiction will ruin your life. Gambling addiction will ruin your life. Watching your kids get used for target practice by invading soldiers will ruin your life. Watching your friends and neighbors get pancaked by a collapsing apartment block might ruin your life. These things, and other things like them, are really happening in other people's real lives every day.

    Flirting will not ruin your life.

    Use that empathy of yours to find some perspective.

    women don’t appreciate being approached by strange people

    This is a very blinkered idea of what flirting is.

    Just because you think that learning to flirt with people is a skill worth having...

    I don't care at all whether you decide to learn to flirt or not. I'm not telling you how to live.

    It is your assertion that attempting it would ruin your life that makes me cringe. It is so utterly self-absorbed, so free of context or proportion, such a "I'm 14 and this is deep" attitude. I genuinely hope you grow up enough to see this one day.

  • I don’t know, I never thought I’d get this far

    Jump

  • You made it very clear that you're talking about your fears. Not your actual experiences, but your imagined ones.

    I'm put in mind of MRA Men, of self described "incels," who are fond of claiming that even a single accusation of sexual impropriety can "ruin their lives." But as far as I can tell, that just doesn't happen.

    Believe it or not, you can't die of embarrassment. If one person decides (if a dozen people decide) they don't want to hang out with you (whether they call you a "creep" or not), that's not "ruining your life."

    Do you imagine that, given the billions of people who have lived and died before you, you are really a unique outlier, of such exquisite psychological delicacy that even the slightest embarrassment will create permanent psychic scars? It's a fantastically egotistical point of view.

    I'm not going to tell you that flirting is easy or that there's no wrong way to do it, but this is unreasonable. Hyperbolic.

  • Hyperscale Data CEO William Horne told the residents directly in a special council meeting that the site is pivoting away from cryptocurrency operations towards AI computing and advanced robotics, and that it’s spending $100 million to achieve this.

    Why would anyone outside the business give a shit about this? Why would the CEO think anyone outside the business gave a shit about this?

    Why aren't the datacenter owners ever willing to spend, say, $10 million on making the data center actually quiet instead?
