I'm curious what the impact of non-subsidised AI will be. Consumers aren't paying the true cost of using AI right now, even as token generation is becoming more cost effective. I think there's a chance that future AI might not be as prevalent when companies realize it won't truly replace workers and stop investing into it.

Right wingers always have the upper hand in messaging because they are less beholden to truth. The left needs to be more on the offense in general.

Your just uncomfortable speaking. That's the issue. When you talk to people you feel safe with, like your best friend in a more private setting, you have no issue going back and forth naturally. Talking happens when you stop thinking. Thinking is by nature introverted. That's why people call alcohol social lubricant. You become more comfortable with experience and by letting go of expectations. You can visualize offloading responsibility unto god. Let Jesus take the wheel and shit. A shot of something might help too sometimes. Also learn to share only tidbits instead of everything at a time. Like, if they ask why your so quiet, you can answer that your just feeling a little bit overwhelmed, but that you like hanging out with them or whatever. Give them 20% of the whole truth.

I like to read viking shit for fun when I'm not reading self-help.

The problem is more fundamental than just a bunch of bad actors in politics. Remember, people are voting them in. Fundamentally we have an issue of distrust in government. In order to reel in bad actors you need stronger checks on power, IE. stronger institutions, but that's hard with popular support going the opposite direction. Trump leaving politics won't necesarilly change the fact that we are in a global wash against technocratic democracy currently.

Experience > no experience You won't desire to have less experience on your death bed.

Do you think Iran was some sort of master plan in disguise? Project 2025 was concocted by the Heritage Foundation anyway. Not Trump. Trump's too impulsive and narcissistic to follow someone else's plan. And there's still a world of difference between recognizing genuine strategy to undermine institutions and conspiratorial thinking, IE. making shit up, which is what most of these Trump rationalizers are doing. It's like being in denial of the chaotic state of our current reality.

Dream on. It's funny how people find it more intuitive to think that Trump has some 5 year master plan to take over the world than him just being impulsive with no real plan. It has to be a conspiracy. It can't just be chaos. Maga is addicted to a sense of greater agency over politics. They feel that the dude should have gotten executed years ago if anything. Normal technocratic liberal politics makes no sense to them. If anything this might be a boost to them overall. you guys might be projecting your moral outrage and assuming too much.

The left are like screaming hungry kittens when its outraged. The left cannot help itself. Politics as personal expression is their thing for most of them as opposed to politics as a means to an end. There won't be any strategy.

I've heard a bunch about being chemically depressed and shit. I'm not sure if I entirely buy it. Or maybe its just relatively rare. I believe it to be mostly a skill issue myself. Just stop being depressed bro.

I know your not being entirely literal, but that's literally how it functions right now. It is likely a spur of the moment decision by Trump to approve the move for narcissistic supply. It hasn't been done since WW2 I think. In of itself, I don't really thinks its that big of a deal to execute someone via firing squad if your going to execute anyone at all. It's got a better track record than lethal injection. Just now recently that girl got two doses and survived. Now they are throwing her in court a second time after they failed to kill her the first time. How do you fail to kill someone strapped down? Talk about overcomplicating the world oldest sport. weaksauce.

Hitler rant when you leave socks on the floor and don't help out with the dishes.

Depression is a fixation on how life happens to you in a negative way that you can't control. Its pessimistic and sad. Its your mind which is depressing you. That's why being active helps, because it puts your mind elsewhere.

It's a military execution. Dude was a soldier and shot up a fort.

Trump runs his politics like the host of a reality TV show. It's all about generating buzz and drama and engrandize his image. Firing squad is probably more humane than lethal injection though. Just more brutal looking.
