This, btw, is the thinking behind my "You should never shit on 'The Democrats' rule" and instead always substitute the person or sub-faction that's got you mad instead.
Even if we gut the party down to the studs and replace everything about it, that name is going to remain and carry that baggage.

I think that would actually be suicidal.
It's kind of dispiriting how much of our political dynamic is driven from essentially inertia and branding exercises. People who vote (R) or (D) cause that's their team. Vibing who is "good on economy/defense/etc" based on memes in spite of recent evidence.

I got an ad for AI video editing software. It was a woman riding a horse, and they asked the AI to change the color of her sweater to a Unicode code, but change nothing else. It changed almost everything about the image slightly, but the woman was wearing a sweater in that color lmfao.

Unironicly this is actually the prescription of the paper that started this.

You know how some trad guys spend their lives being bitter because they were born too late to be a brave Roman centurion or whatever? Well, some guys on here are bitter because they were born too late to be a Soviet-era apparatchik.

We’d better hope it’s a bubble and it bursts soon because otherwise Google and Nvidia will have converted the entire surface of the Earth to datacenters by 2032.

I really don't like that this is true. It means we're heading towards an extreme outcome here. Either the Dem wins and it's the best possible outcome or one of the craziest and most radical people in the GOP wins and proceeds to throw wrenches for the next 6 years min. No in-between options.

That these memes seemed to work really underscores what a tremendous own goal it was for leftists to validate their logic.
Harris said the word "lethal" in her DNC speech; meanwhile Trump had a tremendously bloody record as *President.*
But a lot of online influencers only emphasised the former.

President Pritzker has already secured enough EC votes for reelection and party majorities in each chamber until 2032 with his defense and cosplay expo political platform.
Rumors abound of a constitutional amendment to all the Great Khan to rule until he loses the mandate of heaven.

The year is 2029. President Pritzker and Chancellor Söder are photographed together in cosplay. Even though the budgets in both countries are under strain due to escalating defense needs, cultural programs for LARPs and fandom conventions are seeing increases.

The Food Budget and Transportation Budget are just insane. 2x $600 a month vehicle payments or the mother of all premium transit passes daily.
$1200 a month for 4 in food!? I could do it for $600 a month easy if I was cooking dinner, sandwiches for lunch, and simple cereal for breakfast.

I once knew a Federal bank examiner, and one time someone asked him why we had to KEEP inspecting banks over and over. He basically said every new batch of business school grads invents bank fraud from first principles.

The underlying cause of every bubble - debt masquerading as financial innovation - depends on not just short financial memory & speculative neophytism, but reinventing jargon of finance, like how each generation of kids has new ways to say same things.

the most likely result of anything that happens is nothing. if you are worried that zohran found common ground with trump or thrilled that trump is going to "help" you should turn off your phone.
but if you are in line to tell a show tunes joke or post a meme of marx with laser eyes, stay in line.
