Experts often say that Trump is somehow unique, but I’ve never understood that idea. If anything, he seems far less impressive to me than a typical politician, due to his constantly broadcasting his low intelligence.
Anyways, I hope he is unique, since he’s old and unhealthy. He’ll personally be out of our hair pretty soon.
Great, now I’m asleep.
Whatever bad shit I want to say about Henry Ford, at least he understood the basic idea that people could only spend the amount of money that they have or make. That’s one of the things he’s famous for is that his factory workers could buy their own Model Ts.
We now live in a stupid reality where the world is controlled by rich people who see others as slaves and who are wanting to keep slave labor in perpetuity, even when the labor doesn’t need to exist.
Assume for a moment that AI really was taking all of these types of jobs, which by the way, almost certainly includes CEOs. It would only be a matter of time before robots take those other jobs he’s talking about.
A normal human of normal intelligence would see that and conclude that people simply wouldn’t have to work anymore. And that therefore, everyone should have their basic necessities taken care of by their governments.
People would be free to do whatever they want, whether it be “humanities” work or creating things or whatever. We’re no longer constrained by the fact that our lives depend on our usefulness in jobs to the ruling class.
Only a member of that ruling class would see themselves as indispensable and others as slave labor.
First, it was a joke in response to a joke. That much should be obvious to anyone. So it has the accuracy inherent in a joke.
And second, since it was about large numbers of people, it was obviously a claim about the vast majorities and not a statement indicating, for example, that there were zero exceptions.
The offense is more in the responses than in the original comment. The comment first got many upvotes because it’s obviously a joke. But then some people with poor reading comprehension invented offense and responded like it was obvious, then everyone started acting like chickens with their heads cut off. The people who could read and think for themselves didn’t respond because it’s obviously just a stupid joke.
I never said it was.
“My son is an uninformed misogynist and has no chance to give me grandchildren. All that time raising him, wasted on a brainless loser. And now, he definitely knows a woman who supports abortion but hasn’t had one.” - That guy’s mom after reading his post, probably.
Yes, of course. You cannot be serious. One, he’s the only male victim that I’ve heard of, and I’ve only just heard of him. Every news source talks about victims as girls or “young women.” So, every news source, even to this very day also implies that that class doesn’t exist.
When I tried to search for his story, I had to use more than one search engine to find anything. DuckDuckGo literally had zero results for “Trump ‘tent stake’”. I had to go to google.
I’m glad that you’re out there letting people know about this guy, but you know that his class is a small minority and almost unknown to the mainstream.
The context was that I was accused of “unnecessary sexism” for my earlier comment and you’re arguing against me.
If you don’t want to argue that I was being unnecessarily sexist, and you just want to nitpick minor points, then it would help if you’d make that clear.
Well, that’s horrific. I just listened to a bit of his testimony, or whatever you want to call it, and now I feel bad about making that exact point.
But are you really trying to assert that statistically, the people partying with Epstein in order to abuse children are not overwhelmingly male, and that the victims are not overwhelmingly girls? Because I’ve heard quite a bit of testimony and it is about rich men abusing young girls.
Just gonna gloss over Ghislaine are we?
Whoops. I forgot that Ghislaine Maxwell was “half of global high society.” Well, it’s either that, or you forgot what the fucking topic was, but what are the odds of that?
They said “half of global high society,” so we’re talking about statistics, not whether a few women went there.
So, you could try to accept reality, or you could live in a fantasy world where the vast majority of the powerful elite going to Epstein’s Island for illicit purposes weren’t men. Epstein’s victims were girls. Have you even heard of a boy being trafficked by him? Most people are cis-gender. History is packed full of men seeking power over girls and young women, but now we are going to choose to be blind to reality in favor of political correctness?
Jesus Christ. Just a few days ago I posted here that I was disappointed in everybody in the world, but at the time, I thought it was a joke.
Half of global high society, apparently
That would be the male half.
My memory was that she had bad reception, but that the call wasn’t cut, and when she hung up, she thought she had done a good job until corrected by Jerry. But I haven’t seen this episode in over two decades probably, so my memory isn’t going to be exactly right.
Seinfeld had an episode about cell phones, though.
I don’t remember the exact plot, but I think it was Elaine called somebody about something serious, like expressing condolences for a death or something, and she called from a cell phone while she was out and about, instead of calling from a land line at home. This was seen as a faux pas.
It is difficult to say about my father. From his stories about his childhood, he seemed to have more friends, but like I said, my parents always talked as if they had more friends than they did. And my dad did have a couple of friends.
My mother is close to her family, but she doesn’t contact them. They contact her. Any friends that she’s had are undoubtedly people who contact her and don’t mind if she never contacts them. So, she probably had childhood friends, but as soon as they’re out of her sight, she seems to forget about them completely. I’m the same way. It’s a real challenge for me to keep friends. My brother is also the same way.
As a kid, my parents seemed to have friends, but they didn’t invite them over ever. They spent all of their spare time at home and only occasionally went on social visits.
As an adult, whenever I talked with my parents, they talked about how often they went to social events and church events and interacted with their neighbors.
It wasn’t until they were elderly and I was actively taking care of them that the truth became obvious. Outside of family, my father had very few friends, and my mother had no friends.
The reason the ends are curling up like that is the way it was shipped, and has little to do with its quality. It was rolled up with the top towards the inside for shipping, but it should have been rolled with the top towards the outside.
But it’s easy to fix. You just need to roll it the opposite way until it stops curling.
“After seeing you enjoy good food as it was intended, I don’t think I want to continue this. Everyone knows food must only be eaten after you upload pictures of it to Instagram and get a certain number of interactions.”
Maybe there’s been some update I don’t know about, but I also haven’t heard about Joe Biden being in the Epstein files, either.
