Yeah, 3 million trials to catch the thousands of criminals in his own words… or maybe instead of trials first, they could maybe only be rounded up if there is any actual reason to believe they are a criminal in the first place. Then it would only be thousands of trials and all the problems being caused by rounding up 900+ innocent people per 1 criminal, would all of a sudden go away.
Privately, not publicly. And I think that chart is mostly about what step they are willing to say out loud so far. Since they need outside approval, when they fuck up, which is often, this is the tried and true path to get the least flack from the people they want to be praising them as soon as possible again.
The regular narcissists in your life follow it too, it’s practically instinct.
You won’t find them in real life, they hide from that.
Actually, I know a few people that would be like this without the influences our local autism society social group has on them. Being brilliant in some areas and not as much in others can really twist a brain up depending on which areas. I got lucky with my strengths and challenges, I’m said to have infinite patience(not really the case, but relatively, close enough), and the ability to understand and relate to both Neurodiverse and Neurotypical individuals well. So I volunteer as a go-between, essentially an interpreter/mentor. I help the parents and kids get along, even if the “kids” are older than me. I also still live with my parents at 40, as despite some of my strengths being useful, I haven’t found anyone willing to pay for them. So I just try to help people with my time, either in real life or online.
Because, in this context, they are using security to mean the opposite of insecurity. They want to cure national insecurity, and the only way to do that is to “prove you have the bigger dick”. And since they already know from practice that they probably don’t, they have to find some other way to prove it.
Hehe, yeah. Fair. There is a very good chance that even with everything burnt to the ground, people would vote to take longer to try to go back to what is familiar rather than going for the quick fix that seems better on paper but has never been tested at full scale. And as you say, even if it got so far as to be emergency implemented to stop the hemorrhaging, there is very little chance it would last long enough to prove better before it starts to get dismantled out of fear that it’s not… or fear that it is.
I just would hope that at the point where there is a prominent uprising, it would come with a pretty widespread distaste for how it got there. That has historically been the case, a big pendulum swing the other way for a bit.
Trust what man? The one I say is bulldozing the entire government?
I’m guessing my wording wasn’t great in the first one. Was intended as a follow-up in the same vein. I can rephrase with more detail if my point came across wrong.
It sure seems like his plan is to basically get rid of every financial support. Once they are all gone, there will pretty much be an immediate revolution since so many people will have nothing to lose then, and then from the rubble left over, the only possible solution that could be implemented quickly enough to restore functionality is a universal mincome.
Since there are currently like 100 different ways someone could qualify for financial support that basically add up to the same thing in effect, just with an insane amount of overhead. Restoring that in any kind of reasonable timeframe would be difficult, especially if the plan is to “accidentally” mess up while rewriting the database and “accidentally” delete all current data. I don’t really know what other outcome to expect with them promising to completely rewrite it from the ground up in such a short time frame.
I do expect them to at least try to get rid of as many social programs as possible, especially the ones directly doling out money. And if they do them one by one, they won’t get very far before people rightfully assume “theirs” might be next, so doing them all at once as a surprise just seems like the only possible way to get rid of them all. And making it seem like an accident is the only chance, slim as it may be, that they have of even possibly getting away with it.
One-third of the population of the United States receives some form of financial aid. 100 million+ people. I think that will 100% be an actual tipping point, even though so many things already should have been the tipping point. And once it tips, there’s gonna need to be an “after”. A universal basic mincome that you automatically qualify for without needing to jump through any hoops, just X amount of money until your income is at least Y amount, then reduced by a percentage/ratio until hitting 0 when your income is Z amount. (Indexed to inflation)
All the tests of a universal mincome have proven that it not only works, but it works better than all current systems. But there are hurdles to implementing it from such a complicated current system, especially in all the cases so far where it was intended to only be temporary as a test. So, basically, one of the only silver linings that might come from what the US is going through right now, is a possible wide-scale implementation of a mincome, and once it is proven stable on a wide scale, more countries might have reason to implement it without bulldozing their whole world first.
Anyone I know that had success with apps, it was eHarmony. Mostly because it costs money and takes work to make a profile, already filtering out so much just from those two steps alone. But the work that it takes to make a profile also helps to actually find who you want to find, and for them to find you.
You have to actually know what you are looking for though, and ideally why.
He’s bulldozing the way for someone to pave the way to universal mincome being accepted. The main hurdle it needed to overcome was how much beurocracy it would take to consolidate all other programs under one roof. If there are no other programs in the way, it all of a sudden becomes the easiest way to re-establish it as quickly as possible.
Edit: I’m not one for changing posts once they have been read or reacted to, but it seems like my wording is not getting the intended point accross. Trump is doing a horrible thing, that once he is deposed may hopefully at least have a silver lining, if there even is an “after”.
Who is “we”? I have nothing to do with the states.
And yes, those wars were indeed still gonna continue happening at that moment in time, no matter who got elected. And some of those words I typed were links you maybe didn’t click, cuz they very much do refute your points. And include how many wars he wound down and/or ended during his time.
Yes, USA has kind of sucked for a long time, it’s starting to very suck now.
It sounds like you were the one checked-out, I guess if news isn’t fed to you, you have no idea how to find out what happened.

His presidency did largely coincide with the timing of when drone strikes were starting to be possible to do.

Would it be better to have used soldiers or missiles for those attacks instead? If you had the choice between sending people to do that job and some of them dying, or sending expensive missiles and killing a bunch of extra people, what’s the downside of drones comparatively?
Really, the main downside of his presidency is that he did such a good job, it pissed off racist people.
I certainly didn’t specifically mean you as an individual. But I have a hard time believing you actually thought I did…
Obama was “boring”, that is exactly what you want in a president. Just sitting there doing his job, not trying to get on TV or the news every damn day.
Although if you did want to look closer, he was very engaging to listen to. So, not boring in that sense.
Some of the other race modes do involve “getting to” the next track. But if you think about it as just being a point to point race between each circuit race, then it’s not really “open world” per se.
My sister is so excited for the cow. Not enough games let you play as an adorable cow.
I haven’t been to a chipotle, but it sounds from reading here that it offers the same thing Subway and Harveys do. No presumptions, no need to ask them to remove anything. You ask for exactly what you want, and as a bonus, you even get to watch it being made. For people that have allergies, sensitivities, and many of the various food related neurodivergencies, like super taster, hypersensory, ARFID… basically anything that makes you feel like a jerk ordering from other places, it’s refreshing that our order is easier rather than harder. Feel like less of a burden.
It looks like it was averted due to the nazis being too intimidated by the peaceful protestors. They’re just so much scarier in real life, those scary peaceful protestors.
And they’ll keep at it until the weather people stop making up that it’s getting hotter. If they would just say “everything is ok, the weather is fixed now, we can go back to making money without feeling guilty” then they would stop getting fired. Easy problem to solve.
/s of course…
As a guy with long curly locks, all my adult life, I have wrapped and unwrapped them around my fingers, or corkscrew my finger into one of the tighter ringlets. Before I was an adult, my parents generally managed to convince me to have haircuts/styles that were more popular for our location.
I actually don’t play with my beard as much, but probably would if I didn’t have the hair. Once I hit 18 and was done school, that’s the last day my hair was ever cut. Gone full natural since then, 41 now. It naturally terminates around 2 feet, hair and beard.
