How far is this going to be allowed to go? Netanyahu is going to hand the US election to Trump while crushing his opponents. It has to stop somewhere. If Trump gets in it won't be the US that stops it.

So listen, those flak guns don't aim below the horizon, so you're going to need to modify those. Don't want you going in blind. Like as blind as you would quickly be shooting flak at close range.

The people who process these data have limited vocabulary or need to speak to those who do.

Buy me a flak tower in Berlin daddy. Rescue me... and my wife and cats.

Believe me there was no cute face involved but mine. And it's more chiseled handsome than cute anyway.

She definitely changed the subject as soon as I said neutrally that most immigrants are here legally.

I'm pretty old but do you know the Woody Woodpecker laugh? I used to work with a girl back before smartphones that had that as her text notification. It was the whole thing which takes like five seconds so sometimes it was just that fucking sound almost non-stop. Here it is, cursed fucking creation.

Exactly! Nixon wasn't driving towards some Dominionist shit that I'm aware of. He was a crooked politician that worked for the nascent oligarchy. He deliberately fucked up peace in Vietnam to win an election. The shit that got him run out was small potatoes.

Stone just wants to get paid and win.

There are plenty of people as described but there are also plenty of rubes going along with it. Plenty of peer pressure, plenty who fall for save the children shit who otherwise mean well.

I just had some blood work done a couple days ago and the nice woman and I talked about the aftermath of Helene. We talked about how horrible it was, how similar our geography was to the worst affected areas. She was genuinely upset and said if she made more money she'd be donating to the victims. I brought up that FEMA said that Helene has fucked their budget up. She told me that it would have been fine if they hadn't spent all that money on those immigrants.

I may think this person is stupid, but I don't believe she is malicious.

I certainly think it's a part of it. As someone who knows some people I think have ODD, they're easier to work on than true believers. You can find common ground in fuck this system talk, but guide that towards a better future instead.

Source: years of working with hearts and minds of people I care about. I identify with ODD. I probably could have been classified ODD at some point.

I can't imagine Roger Stone is a true believer. He's a mercenary.

Maybe I'm wrong but I've got the horrible feeling that once Gabe dies the enshittification begins.

It's kinda dead now due to enshittification but the vast majority of humans I've interacted with could use a class on how to use a search engine.

Edit- it could be made more modern by showing how to ignore sponsored stuff, blatantly SEO shit, AI shit, etc
