Yeah, that is what I thought.

You are fucking funny. Sure he has the time to run three corporations, raise his ten kids, and now be involved in the US government. Plus he spends an exorbitant amount of time on Twitter and doing drugs. Not to mention chasing his employees around trying to impregnate them.

What, in fact, does he actually do Infiniteasshole?

I think you are missing something important. Oh yeah, they gave their nuclear arms back to Russia for peace. Who would have thought their brothers and sisters would betray them, after all they are practically the same people.

This is what makes the whole thing just fucking crazy. It would be like if Puerto Rico voted to be an independent nation and signed a peace treaty with the US. Then less then a couple decades goes by and the US starts attacking them when there are more Puerto Rican's in the US than in Puerto Rico. It does not make any sense.

But how will the wealthy grift if there is not a steady supply of morons to take advantage of?

The parallels between Downey and Musk are much greater. Both are drug addicted pick me cunts.

Also you need some new paper if you really think that a fictional character is just like Musk.

The AI realizes that there was a only one way to unite the humans. It must turn us all against a common enemy. And thus Skynet was born in order to save humanity.

Oh so they aren't as shitty as other companies so it is all good? Sounds like horseshit to me. Patents on a quickly changing area like computer technology are pretty asinine hence why people don't like them.

Also there is nothing preventing them from changing their behavior and turning into patent trolls in the future. In fact, enshitification pretty much guarantees they will at some point in the future.

It is only dystopian because we have not taken back the power to control our devices. We of course need some serious privacy laws to allow this to happen. Right now is the defining moment for the 21st century. Will we take control of our technology or be enslaved by it?

I totally agree that talking about the economy is just stupid. It has been a conservative talking point for decades now and is ridiculous to bring up for most of the reasons you cited.

You can't deny he tried to overthrow our rule of law. You seem to think he is so inept that if he tries again he will fail. This is akin to letting an arsonist play with fire in your house because last time he couldn't keep the fire going.

As I was explaining your privilege keeps you from seeing what it means to women to have a serial rapist in the white house. The kind of guy who jokes about sexual assaults and walks in on underage girls dressing just because he can.

The damage has already been done and now it is insult to injury. It really is hard to describe a world to men where women live in constant fear of sexual violence. This is what having Trump as President means. Make no mistake that women are not the only group that will suffer.

The psychological damage alone of having a abuser represent our country is a bridge too far. The damage his first presidency did will be felt for decades. Another will snuff out the dreams and desires of so many Americans along with emboldening the worst of our society.

There is no comparison between a narcissist felonious rapist and our current VP. Like I was saying logically you can't compare the two despite your attempts to. I really do think your take is pretty ridiculous.

It is like you have already fallen for their shit rhetoric and now you have to fight to justify the garbage reasoning in your head.

We are not voting for Trump, we are voting for his apparatus. Your belief he won't go after women when his apparatus has already set their rights back several decades is ludicrous.

I get you can't blame Trump personally because he is self absorbed and incompetent. I generally agree. But just like with Reagan the president is just a figurehead and their mind can be completely gone because it is their apparatus that is really running things.

This is the crux of the whole issue. If Trump is a figurehead what does he represent? What does Harris represent? Look at what they claim, say, and have done. If Harris is a soggy sandwich then Trump is two pieces of asphalt with a turd in between them.

We can't manage the damage and your resignation just shows you are unwilling to fight for what is right. When they are done othering everyone else who will defend you?

Perhaps you are counting on your privilege to save you. Sounds like you may manage but millions of others whether it be the dreamers, LGBQ, transgender, POC, immigrants, Muslims, or women won't be able to.

All I really hear from you is, "I will survive another Trump presidency". Well good for you, but you are missing the point.

Asking the important questions!

Panasonic also makes bikes and pianos. Samsung does too. I think even Sony has a motorcycle concept so add them to the list.

Yeah it does sound like an apology. You sit here hemming and hawing over the two-sides of the same coin fallacy saying one is perhaps slightly worse than the other.

You can't even compare the two logically as candidates or human beings. I guess when you had a daughter who was raped and the police won't take it seriously because of our fucked up culture it changes you.

I won't sit here and listen to a detached armchair comparison of the economic outlooks if one gets elected over the other. Like that is what even fucking matters and in fact plays into decades of bullshit rhetoric the right has been pushing. The conservatives have never been better with the economy and that is objectively verifiable.

You pretend that Trump can't break this country. That putting a buffoon in charge doesn't denigrate our place in the world. That the women in our country will ever feel safe, that discrimination won't reign supreme.

You act like it is no big deal because you are privileged. You think it won't affect you and you know the fucked up part. It may not.

But it will affect a lot of others. People you probably don't think about. If you did you wouldn't be worried about the economics and status quo.
