Fixing the idiocy is great. Trying to justify abstaining from voting, which has directly led to killing so many humans, even just USAID alone led to 700,000+ deaths, mostly children, all over one president (which alone is dumb as anything, a president isn’t a king, they are just a figurehead that does stuff and takes blame) doing a policy decision based on historic engagement spanning almost a century is basically one-dimensional moronic.

Justify your mistake all you want. The hard line is protecting as many people as possible and then targeting the rot when you’re able to. You don’t just let the rot live and hope you can somehow fix it afterwards with hopes and prayers.

Those that thought they had power by not voting killed so many people with their concept of having power, without thinking of the bigger picture. The ripple effect is huge. Power grids, data centers, transportation, air travel, medicine, elder care, medical, insurance, vaccinations, communications, emergency preparedness, welfare in disaster zones (in the US), water, massive job layoffs, food safety, access to food, health and safety, inter-government agreements. Pick a dart and throw it, you can’t even trust lettuce anymore. All because some idiots didn’t care about their own lives and thought that using their vote in their country for some other far away land might make a difference even though it never would because they were hoping their decision for a leader in one country somehow would have any active effect in a corrupt nation on the other side of the planet that was always dead-set on genocide regardless of who the US puppet is. Instead, they were just unknowing pawns.

It did make a difference. It destroyed everything. Kudos. RIP critical thinking times a thousand.

100%. Everything they say should always be inverted.

This negative angle has to be minimized before the loudest supporters are actually just the loudest detractors.

More are leaving that orange moron every day, and will continue to do so.

Just the fact he doesn’t understand “pool” was something many people from many walks of life could comprehend and put in a context of just how idiotic he is.

Now, more physical evidence of his ineptitude.

Insane how weighted response filtering and graph search have existed for eons, to say nothing about the fact the search query could be pre-parsed by an LLM/“AI”, and only now do these moronic companies use hard keyword filters.

Makes you wonder if it’s really “for the children” or just attempts at hard-censoring to train their future AI models.

What a weird take to try and justify the way morons didn’t vote to keep their own country functioning. Instead, they helped to directly destabilize the entire planetary governance system but somehow still think it was justified action.

Other countries are not the scope of the US vote. Especially now more than ever.

Conflating internal problems with external ones is just missing the point. Can’t have it both ways. Either the US dictates world policy and you accept that with that will come chaos to other nations, possibly without their consent. Or the US stays completely out of world policy, and you accept that with that will come chaos to other nations, possibly without their consent.

It isn’t a trolley problem. Both sets of tracks are piled with bodies.

You can’t have feelings and turn them into a non-vote that determines your own country’s downfall because of what happens in another country in either of those two scenarios, because destroying your own country helps nobody, and in fact has already led to the death of hundreds of thousands (mostly children) across the planet and many more will follow.

Now, your own country is in jeopardy, and with that comes jeopardy to all the people in your nation and many other nations. Not just trans rights. Everyone’s rights. Everyone’s lives.

RIP: critical thinking.

But how can he work from home, if congress forced a new mother to fly from Colorado to DC just to vote because no more congressional remote work? Flip-flopping scam weasels.

Also, the already dead part.

Probably a good idea to learn about topics before guessing, really.

Compared to steam catapults, the EMALS also weighs less, is expected to cost less and require less maintenance, and can launch both heavier and lighter aircraft than a steam piston-driven system. It also reduces the carrier’s requirement of fresh water, thus reducing the demand for energy-intensive desalination.

…

The steam system is massive, inefficient (4–6% useful work), and hard to control

Don’t forget they are also used for illegal prison transfer

So that’s justification for being robbed via phone? Delete the app after every use. I’d go into my bank and fill out a paper form versus that malarkey.

Especially given banking apps track so much side data for their stupid hustles.

It’s like someone in 1600s Europe traveling with a chest that contains their entire life’s gold coins and documentation of every action they performed in the world everywhere. Makes no sense.

Use a computer, or a web site. Or a bank.

Why would you ever carry your entire life’s worth in your pocket. Ever?

They would just overcharge for the oil change anyway and claim the $8 cabin air filter needs changing for $120.

AI and Flock are bringing the union back together.

“I now have 2 homes, a wife and kids, a dog, a boat, 3 cars, all on my 1920s programming union salary! Wife doesn’t even need to have a job! Just remember to show confidence, it’s easy!”

The auto industry is dead it seems (in so many ways), it just hasn’t been told this fact yet.

Interviews right now in software:

• Apply to job
• 1.5 months later receive email to take an AI-“proctored” code interview where you have to show your ID, share screen, cam, mic like some Orwellian njghtmare
• Maybe get a soft-interview with employees where they are just asking you about local weather while seemingly personable, but actually just trying to find out if you live where you say you live
• Possible technical interview with humans where it’s “pair programming” but actually just a human-proctored coding puzzle irrelevant to the job description and the “interviewer” is looking at another monitor surfing reddit
• Contemplate if homelessness isn’t that bad versus all this bullshit
• Maybe retail? Construction? Farming?
• Work at CostCo?

All to get a job to be a condom between Claude and source control as that other recent lemmy post shared.

Remember, it was going to be privately-funded….

…

And railroads still screw up the nation to this day.

Like, random fun fact, to this day, the mineral rights under many homes in the west were owned by the railroads and owned by….someone to this day. Buy your house, the land underneath it is owned by someone else and if they want to mine or frack they can.

Welcome to America, always.

Is there a browser plugin to constantly query their AI in the background? Wasting their power might send a message.

How is it police will show up for alleged $5 loss from Walmart but if your car is stolen they are too busy?
