Failure to actively oppose at the polls is tacit support,

25% of the population were under 18 during the election they cannot be said to tacitly support trump.

22% of people voted directly for Harris they directly opposed trump.

This alone is 47% of the population! This alone disproves your 2/3 narrative!

30% of the pop by not voting did not cast a tacit vote for Trump. Few countries have 100% voter turnout in any free country. A sane mathematical treatment of the situation is to assume that a sufficiently large sample is representative OR to ask people.

If 48% of voters voted for Trump we assume 48% of those who were adults in 2024 are responsible or 36% or we can ask people if they support Trump and we get 39%.

Most in the US aren’t for our modern day nazis

Functional people don’t punch their teacher in the face because they don’t have enough to eat. He may have had low blood sugar AND a behavioral or mental issue that needs to be addressed.

At minimum I would expect a letter from the kid as to what they did was wrong and an apology from both parents and kid. I would expect an offer to pay for the glasses. I would expect the kid to be punished severely. A good example would be selling the kids ps5 to pay for the glasses and not getting him another console this year and making him spend his free time doing unpleasant chores for a month with no outings or rewards of any kind.

This is both non-violent, moral, memorable, directly exemplifies the direct connection between wrongdoing and restitution. It doesn’t assign blame to a condition as if being hungry forced him to punch his teacher in the face.

Punch the parent and they might learn how to help their kid learn better.

If you need a calming banana to not punch people not mistreating you in the face you are a garbage person

After all votes were counted he won the popular vote by a small margin but bear in mind 100M literally didn’t vote. Apathy is as big an issue as evil.

No. I’m saying that many not all were effectively disenfranchised by a system that would effectively give their votes to the opposing side no matter how they voted. For example blue voters in Texas.

You asserted that American’s were collectively complicit because 2/3 voted for him. This isn’t true. 48% voted for him. Voter turnout was furthermore suppressed by a system in which blue voters in red districts/states have no hope of representation. The actual support for Trump is actually only 39% of Americans.

61% of us are along the ride.

The electoral college system in America means that a certain number of electors are assigned per state. Most states electors are assigned on a winner takes all basis. For instance even in deep red Texas he only got 56% of the vote but was assigned ALL Texas’s electors just like Harris received all California’s electors. Electors are assigned by state not by population so you could theoretically win with as little as 1/3 of the vote.

We cannot basically ever change this via normal political process because the Southern traitors would lose votes and amending our constitution requires overwhelming not majority support.

There are approx 338M people in the US. Approx 85 M didn’t get to vote because they were under 18 in November of 2024. Of the remaining 253M 77M voted for Trump 75 for Harris and 100M didn’t vote.

Many of those who didn’t vote lived in districts and states that were already decided in which those residents had no voice because of our broken system. A system that now endangers us and the world.

If you poll people the percentate that actually support Trump and his policies isn’t the percentage of the vote he received, 48%, its 39%

You said 2/3 but its a hell of a lot closer to a third.

I’m not convinced this is so I think it takes so little to make a comment I don’t think one can equate one to the other

Kirk was preaching ugly evil shit I don’t think you can compare him getting sniped to normal people getting hurt

what the first Civil War was fought over Slaves. Literal human resources were right up their with land as far as property value and ability to continue to earn future value. Enshrining slaves as property forever is virtually the only difference in the confederate constitution.

Lincoln was the first presidential ticket with a northern pres and vp at a time when we deliberately had an equal number of southern and northern states and a bunch of territories to be brought into the union out west. Previously it was possible for a southern pres or vp to enforce this fake equality that couldn’t last because the pres could veto and the vp could vote to break a tie. Once you break that tie you can’t put it back you can now add more northern states without issue.

What were they worried about losing as they lost ground in the house and senate again? Their property and future earnings from that property. It’s popular to quote Lincoln saying he would free none or all of the slaves if he could save the union but that doesn’t tell you what the war was about. They went to war so they could keep their slaves and We went the war so we could keep the southern states instead of having an enemy on our doorstep.

Around 84% of Republicans approve of what is clearly kidnapping murder and open fascism as we are threatening half the world, planning on invading a NATO country, and stealing oil from Venezuela. Conservatives are absolutely our enemy.

They are moving 1500 soldiers to Minneapolis to quell the “violence” which is basically people marching with signs and blocking traffic.

Ice agents are threatening to murder people and telling them they should have learned to be meek so they don’t get murdered like Goode

I really thought the way this would shake out is what the end user would own all the assistant chatter and the mistakes it made and businesses would generate easily machine parsable shit for YOUR assistant to parse to make it easy for your agent to both inform you and lessen the friction for the actual sale eg lenovo hp dell etc would provide machine parseible specs and you would conversationally find an item and end up with it in a cart but the last step would be human crafted UI where you would agree to buy exactly what it was you were buying and you were responsible for reading it because THAT not your prior chat with YOUR agent was what they were responsible for.

Weird thing is that every produce has a spec sheet you could literally save money by having an AI crank out text and spent 5c per item to make sure it actually matches the spec sheet.

It’s useful for them to have a presence because it helps drum up anger at them. Did you see the shit on twitter where the official twitter of DSHS posted a pic of a tropical paradise with the caption America after 100 million deportations? Notably nobody believes there are 100M undocumented immigrants or even 100M immigrants period. 100M is the number of non-white people in America.

They literally said America will be great after we implement the final solution to the brown people problem. Hard to beat them calling themselves nazis. I say let them speak. Let people hear their hate so nobody has any illusions about who we are up against.

The logic behind not using them is either they can’t or they can’t. They didn’t kill a million russians and junk a fair chunk of their existing hardware for nothing. The reasonable perception is that they couldn’t take Ukraine and fight NATO at all whereas without NATO assistance historical or current Ukraine would have actually fallen in 3 days. Their ability to take Ukraine is therefore 100% a function of how well they can keep NATO out of it and nuking Ukraine blows that objective.

A tablet screen is too small to use with apps not designed for such a screen. So it will be 100% useless without an actual monitor. Your TV is shit its got shitty text rendering, its massive, and if its 1080p 50" its DPI is shit if its 4K is barely acceptable you are too far from it to be usefully used and you have nowhere to put an actual keyboard.

During operation it will be decoding video 100% of the time so its battery life will be trash on a typical tablet battery and it will get hot.

You could solve all those problems by putting the hardware in a shell with or without fans a bigger battery a keyboard and a screen. Oh look we just re-invented the laptop! Except it only works at all in areas where you have wifi and it costs $30-$50 $50-80 if you have no upfront cost and have to pay for the hardware a month and either you have to manage updates and potential failures on both client and server OR only on the client but the server OS is so constrained that you have no control over it. It is worse and more expensive.

Do please explain what exactly one does with just a slow tablet? Do you use your finger to scroll the too big interface constantly on a laggy interface on your bad wifi whilst your virtual computer slows to a crawl when too many people are home OR do you squint at the poorly sized blurry interface 8 feet away on your 50" 1080p?

People already understand and buy laptops. Why will they buy this?

You would actually need server racks at major ISPs colocated near customers (like netflix does now) to have acceptable latency. To have acceptable performance you would need a cheap small form factor PC, a monitor, a keyboard, a mouse.

None of this is free and if not fucked up on the software side would perform fine as far as normal computing tasks by itself.

It can’t be free because it costs too much. You need data centers near customers for acceptable latency. You also need a computer to connect to your amazon PC.

No your phone won’t work. To prove this. Get a really expensive phone that you can a keyboard and display to. This is already a thing right. Run a remote desktop software on your actual PC wired vastly preferred. Now go next door and ensure you have acceptable wifi. Try this out and tell me how it works for you.

Now imagine it with average wifi which is often terrible in my households with the shitty phones people have creating an experience that is orders of magnitude best case scenario we have created above.

The stats say that very few kids are hurt by unknown predators but many in fact are hurt on bikes. The stats also say that predators don’t hunt by waiting slavering over facebook waiting for your to post your kids face and tracking them down in real life.

They mostly hunt by ingratiating themselves with the parents. The minority do so by grooming your kid online by direct communication. A VERY VERY tiny amount do so by waiting for your kid to be vulnerable in real space and snatching them. I have literally never in life even heard of someone who got their kids hurt by posting their faces on facebook but there are countless who got groomed by family, priests, teachers,friends who people trusted.

Turn on your brain.
