And yet, on the basis of what we see, clearly isn’t capable of managing the four weeks in office let alone four months.

If he wins, how you do think it would play out?

And yet you’re not supposed to commit light treason, but here we are… Coups work as they change laws/norms along the way

Because he’s ancient and the job is done - to elect a Dictator

As soon as he’s elected, unless I am mistaken, there’s no way for the electorate or anyone else to eject him beyond the 25th amendment and that just puts the VP in power. Maybe he’ll switch Vance for Musk at some future point?

Clearly, I’m no expert here, but there is also clearly no way the Suit-wearing Cheeto is gonna last until the next election cycle and a lot of this will end up at the Supreme Court where we all get royally fucked…

I have a theory that this is by design.

His supporters have shown they’re gonna vote for him either way. If (when?) he gets into power, he’ll be deposed very quickly by his own supporters, leaving that Sock Puppet JD Vance doing whatever Peter Thiel tells him to do.

Not to worry. I’m not so naive as to think that is how it will actually play out.

I’m sure like most things under capitalism, smaller companies will be liable, but we’ll bail out the big guys!

Given the high costs of AI, isn’t it reasonable to assume that whomever stands to make a profit is equally liable for it’s outcomes?

I feel the indecision is really just “I’m not sure if I am ready to identify as a 21st century Nazi or not just yet”

Yes, because nothing says Nottingham more than a mythical figure purportedly from Leicestershire…

Fat lot of good that will do… Last time I was near a UK hospital (Lincoln) the entrance was crowded with smokers. Right underneath the “no smoking” signs. There wasn’t even anyone vaping

Longer wait times, no, but less episodes is definitely better. More than 10 episodes per seasons and you’ll get cruft and filler in there.

This man is a beacon of humanity. The world needs (a lot) more leaders like him

Nope. Because once you normalize tipping, you then start having conversations about how much. Before you know it, you the tipper are paying for peoples wage increases.

I’d rather pay more at the register and see people make a better working wage.

100% agree with this. Just started reading Black Pill by Elle Reeve and it says much the same

They don’t understand irony. Or civility. Or empathy.

But we can definitely all agree they are weird.

I think the one in the hat is The Edge (the guitarist in U2), so I assume the other one is Bono?

The web. It was good while it lasted.

I swear on my Commodore 64 I looked and found nothing.

You are clearly better at this than me, and thank you!

Given that the entire Christian faith was possibly created by the Romans to “control the Jews” this checks out.

I have no evidence for the above statement either.

Maybe it was the one I drove - I found myself pushing the steering wheel in a bid to get up a relatively modest incline. I was also quite alarmed by how quickly things were passing me.

Then again, my daily at the time was an RX-8.

The original? An absolute classic to look at and horrible to drive. The new one? Looks like the original was stung by bees and forgot it’s EpiPen
