1) There has been no report of 'gays' actually grooming children. There were accusations but it has been several years and none of the so called groomed children had any sexual conduct with people like that.

2) The conservatives have sung far worse than 'coming for your children', and liberals decried the few people that sang that.

3) Harvey milk had a long term consensual sexual relation that started with a 17 year old man who was left his parents because they hated the fact he was gay. Hardly a 'runaway minor boy'. Trying to make exagerate things means you know you are deceiving people and no one will be convinced if you tell the whole truth.

4) Never trust devil worshiping scum that quote old testaments but ignore the Ten Commandments. Those are the ONLY things God considered important sins and Homosexuality did not make the list. God will forgive a homosexual quicker than he will forgive you for taking his name in vain.

For someone that helped put Trump into power, he sure doesn't like him - at least not after he got what he wanted by destroying the regulations that affected him.

Over time, conservatives despised all the new ideas. Basically they took 'conservatism' to the extreme. College graduates became more and more liberal, seeing that the new ideas made sense. They took over the universities. Some liberals took it to extremes, but they are surrounded by college graduates. So the college graduates mocked them, and the moderates continue to rule the democrats (with a few lunatics making noise on the left)

More and more conservatives became enchanted by old lies. They embraced old prejudiced against immigrants, minorities, gays, etc. They embraced old ideas like lower taxes can make fix the budget deficit (did not work, not once). They embraced the oldest idea of 'strong leader' rather than 'strong checks and balances'. They embraced the concept of 'religion = moral', all the while ignoring the clear examples of Muslim terrorists and 'Christians' like: Fred Phelps Sr, Jim Jones, David Koresh, Matthew Hale, etc. (Look them up if you don't know their names)

Now they finally put someone into office that believes his own statements and is putting them into practice. So far, I am less than impressed by the results. Three more years till we find out if there is anything of value left in the Republican Ideology.

Perhaps I am wrong. Perhaps the deficit will vanish, Americans will become wealthy and employed, crime will drop. Or, perhaps none of that will happen and the GOP will try to lie their way out of the massive mistake they are committing.

One way or the other, America is going to be a very different country before Trump is done.

They are total scams. Mainly because some shmucks tried the 'razor blade' model, aka cheap initial buy with overpriced consumable (ink). The scum even once made it so that scanner/printers would not scan if you were out of ink.

These scumbags took over the ink based printer industry and no major ink based printer is honest any more.

If you need a printer and do not use it every single week, get an inkless printer. For special jobs (Resumes, etc) use a copy shop.

100 smartest people (top 1%) look at the high risk/high reward situations and realize their chances of success are low, so none take it.

100 above average people look at the same high risk/high reward situation and say, "WOW, I GOT THIS!". 95% fail, but 5 of them make it.

For this reason, most of the 1% wealthiest people are above average intelligence but not the smartest. I am talking people with an IQ above 115, but below 130.

They insisted on using medical jargon which every doctor would understand, but your average Joe does not. The 'preperitoneal space' they mentioned basically means they went in lower, rather than breaking the ribs open.

This is such cry-baby nonsense.

NONSENSE.

Since 2008, I have personally mentored dozens of young dudes (at no cost whatsoever, just because that's what successful people do).

I have helped poor dudes in bad neighborhoods buck up, get some side hustles, stack cash, and buy property.

You fucked yourself because you refuse to actually do someone to buy property. I don't know ANYONE, starting with even zero money, who couldn't find a nice home in just 2-3 years of saving money properly -- except the lepers in California, and fuck them anyway.

AI's are known to a) Lie, b) Cheat, and c) Pander to the lowest common denominator

Yup, sounds like a CEO to me.

Nope. They can already do sales after a certain hour.

Donut and bagels places are known to do this - half price after 6 PM.

The entire idea here is to target the price 'discounts' only to people who would not normally do the shopping.

So the businessman would get the post 11 PM discount but the student that goes there once a week would NEVER get it.

I would rather let Nazis speak and elect to block them myself than have an entire moderation team block everyone they disagree with.

Reddit is equally a shithole.

Heck. /. used to have a good libertarian minority and today it's nerds defending their trans kids here.

By customized deals they mean they offer a deal to a specific person but NOT to the next guy. In other words, they raise the prices to people from the wrong zipcode, or who recently searched for Mercedes, etc.

It's called dynamic pricing or, more honestly, 'surveillance pricing'.

Do you really want an AI deciding how much to charge you, or would you rather have consistent pricing so that you can fairly pick among multiple businesses rather than having the businesses get to pick their customers.

I would prefer to replace myself, yes.

I have a 37 year work history of finding ways to replace myself and folks like me. I already offer my clients free Ai consulting on the side to help them replace me. I'm already onto the "next thing" that will replace Ai in the headlines anyway.

I don't own a computer. I am not a programmer. I do everything from my iPhone.

In the past 10 years, I have spent tens of thousands of dollars on human programmers to create 3 web apps. Zero of them ever were finished. ZERO.

I used Grok AI to create 5 web apps. 3 of them were monetized almost immediately and have paying clients. All 5 have passed security checks that look for bugs or hack entry points.

One of the 3 monetized web apps took me all of 30 minutes using Grok, on an airplane, using my iPhone. I was able to download the files and upload them to a web server and the site was live. Literally 30 minutes and that website has created thousands of dollars of passive income.

I use vibe coding DAILY to make spreadsheets better for me and clients (I am not in IT). I use vibe coding DAILY to come up with cool functions for my web apps that people pay me to use.

It is true that technology does eliminate old jobs, but there are an unlimited amount of jobs in the 'que' so to speak.

There is no set amount of jobs. Jobs are determined by people's desires. If you have money and a desire, those combine to become a job. Those new jobs create money. (basic economic theory - jobs create money, not the other way around. Simplest thing to think of me paying you lets you pay other people, who can pay other people, so $10 being spent once ends up being spent 4,5, or who knows how many times, thereby increasing M1 and M2, even with same amount of M0).

When technology destroys an old job, it frees up that money to create more jobs. A thousand years ago 90% of our current jobs did not exist - almost no industry, no media, few luxury goods, few 'high' art, no 'low art'.

Jobs come from people's desires, and those desires are unlimited. Trust me, you can always depend on human greed, lust, gluttony, envy, and pride to create new jobs.

Now, those jobs may require advanced training that is rare, and may be low paying crappy jobs, but there is always an unlimited amount of new jobs to come.

The trick is to make sure they are good paying and to keep being trained.

The entire point of vaporware is to claim it is going to happen.

Admitting something is vaporware defeats the purpose.
