The president has illegally declared war to stop fentanyl trafficking from a country that does not traffic that drug, claiming its leader is trafficking drugs himself, the day after pardoning a former leader of a country who is a convicted drug trafficker.

In short we don't like "AI" because we can see a fucking used car salesman coming a mile away and yet you keep insisting there are five lights.
We're not all stupid and we're not all gullible, and we won't blindly accept an obvious scam.
You fucking ruined every product you've touched you assholes

It's bad for the environment.
It makes products worse but you won't admit it.
Even if it could improve them you won't take the time to properly test them because you're rushing to beat the end of the bubble.
You have no viable business model.
You're ruining the hardware market needlessly.

You try to put it into everything in nonsensical ways.
It doesn't work the way you claim it will.
You don't pay for the work you use to generate it.
Your intent is labor reduction without a contributory return.

Trans stories belong in libraries. Full stop. Trans people have and will always exist.
And if you think this ends with trans stories pal there's a very famous poem I'd like you to read.

What are abstract ideas like “being happy” and “having fulfillment” compared to real world achievements like “working full time for a company and still needing food stamps”
While work-life balance may give you a sense of happiness and fulfillment, it isn’t always realistic, says Walmart executive vice president and chief people officer Donna Morris.
Walmart exec: ‘I’ve never believed in the term work-life balance’—this is the mantra that made her highly successful instead
Many professionals see work-life balance as a non-negotiable. Walmart CPO Donna Morris says people should practice work-life integration instead. Here's why.

President Trump’s administration is set to ramp up pressure on Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro by designating the Cartel de los Soles as a foreign terrorist organization. But the entity that the U.S. government alleges is led by Maduro is not a cartel per se. https://to.pbs.org/43QxlEl
U.S. set to label Maduro-tied Cartel de los Soles as a terror organization. It's not a cartel per se
The move planned Monday comes as President Donald Trump evaluates whether to take military action against Venezuela, which Trump has not ruled out despite bringing up the possibility of talks with Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro.
