I do admire that Canadians voted with their money against Trumpian interests.

The point isn’t AI.

The point is that Harris doesn’t differentiate herself enough from Trump’s politics for her election to mean a whole lot if you’re a working class voter or impoverished in the US, and that’s by her own admission. She literally said publicly she wouldn’t diverge from Biden’s politics.

I voted Green.

We don’t ever get to have a positive political outcome because of the people you vote for.

I’m glad that feature’s int here for you, in that case.

I no longer believe things will change for the better within my lifetime.

Funny. That was sort of the subject of a YT video I made today. Basically the whole of my working life has corresponded to the decline of economic liberty for the working class and working poor, so I don’t really celebrate New Years. I expect every year to be worse than the one before.

Thanks for sharing!

Honestly didn’t know that. Could you point me to a source where I can read more about it?

Not if said Dem actually does something about it. (Unlikely)

Problem is that, if we elect a Democrat, it will be a fabulously wealthy person with no empathy or understanding of the working class and working poor, so the likelihood that they will do anything about it is minimal. Remember when Obama had the balls to walk into Flint, pretend to drink a glass of water, and tell all of those people whose water had been poisoned that everything was a-okay? That’s what I mean. Zero empathy.

neither batshit tarrifs,

That’s true. Harris, though, like Trump, wouldn’t be doing anything to regulate LLM’s or their financial fuckery, and that is going to be catastrophic when the game of financial musical chairs stops.

insane dissolution of trust

Also a good point. The American brand would be more or less intact, at least in the short-term, but I tend to think that all Harris would do is just maintain better PR, because her policies economically wouldn’t be different enough from Donald’s to keep the AI bubble from eventually popping. Democrats are just as in bed with billionaires as the Republicans, they just don’t seat them front-and-center at public events.

Savvy countries will discover there’s a way to mitigate the harm incurred by Trump’s tariffs

They already have. It takes 1.5 to 2 years for trade deals to be negotiated and then put into effect. In the coming years when these deals take effect, and trade is routing itself around the US as much as possible rather than through it, people in the US are going to learn a very difficult economic lesson.

On the plus side, maybe the notion of American Exceptionalism will diminish a bit, which is long overdue.

What, exactly, wouldn’t be happening if Harris had won?

I wanted to like it but I hate the parrying mechanic so much.

TG Sims me with its banger of s demo.

I think they’re making a Pirates of the Caribbean joke.

Beat me to it, ya scalliwag.

Have they actually been indexed?

No.

Not everything got torrented after music streamers came into prominence. (Though chances are pretty good you could rip an MP3 off Youtube for whatever you’re looking for.)

Yes.

Sick of the gray in cars, clothing, buildings, etc. etc. etc.

That’s good to know. I built my first structure the other day: a log cabin. The roof is butt ugly, but I’m proud of it.
