I think being president means you have greater responsibility for the words you say than the average bozo, not less

A question I can't help but ask recently is if Trump were INTENTIONALLY trying to isolate the US, alienate it from its allies, accelerate its brain drain, weaken its position economically, dipolomatically, and militarily... what, if anything, would he be doing differently?

It's insane how paranoid everyone is now. "What do these kids do that they don't want the parents to see???" Probably fucking nothing and simply don't want to have an adult breathing down their necks while they're hanging out together.

@HighHeelEsquire She is THIRTEEN. If she was 16 or 17, yes this would be crazy overbearing. What are they doing at just 13 they don’t want the mom to see? She’s too young to be totally unsupervised. I don’t think this is too much at all. They’re babies.

Buying things isn’t fun anymore. Everything is either too expensive, poor quality, a subscription where you don’t actually own anything, benefits an evil corporation, or all of the above.

One of my working theses is that the *desire* for AI already betrays a condition of thought poverty and incuriosity. You have a beautiful spare room with a view like that and it never occurred to you to put a nice table in it?

Why is my country’s authoritarian leader spending so much on the military? Doesn’t he realize this will hurt him at the elections he keeps talking about interfering with?

“Free condoms?? What would I tell my kids if they saw those????” Probably like “That’s something for grown-ups” if they’re prepubescent, or “Those are barriers to make some kinds of sex safer” if they’re a teenager. Just be matter-of-fact and developmentally appropriate. Jeez

it’s crazy that 95% of people just want a nice normal life on our beautiful, already abundant planet where they can have their basic needs met and cute experiences with their loved ones and then we have these 5% of evil, narcissistic goons at the top fucking it up for all of us

It’s kind of insane that we’re all lucky enough to live on this insignificant blue ball floating in an endless void that can somehow keep us alive indefinitely and yet a huge chunk of people want to ruin it forever in the name of an economic concept that we made up ourselves
