You know what, he actually wouldn't be horrificly wrong if he were actually pushing for something there. Lets say hypothetically our jobs, aren't real work, and it's no big deal that they are replaced.... the actual intents of progression of technology... was originally that when the ratio of work needed to be done and people shifts... we'd work less for more pay etc... but no we just capitalism it and say "labor is in high supply, so we need to cut it's price until people can find use for it".

I mean yeah I can agree with the gist of it... not really sure they tier them out quite like we have. (Why I think many found it kind of silly to have say, hawkeye and black widow in the original avengers). superheros generally are just set to be a match for.. their respective villains.

Obviously the super hero universe thing people have to close their eyes on is the concept of the over the top OP heros nearby are generally equipped well enough that they could usually overcome all the "street level" villains over a lunch break.

To my knowledge that's kind of it with Luke Cage though is more... he doesn't have any major mobility or solving advantages. So effectively the way villains need to work around him is... don't get close.

I mean very different league, but there are studies reports noting some extreme irregularities in several key cities. IE juristictions where hundreds voted for the democratic senator, but zero votes for harris etc...

but yes obviously the key huge thing to point out is democratic represenatives and candidates. aren't loudly screaming those on the news and twixxer etc... to encourage mass civil unrest

IMO it's so fricking obvious.

Moderation advantage works, in a world where most people are happy with the way things are. The problem is these elites pushing it are either in a bubble where everyone they know is doing well... or they are outright lying because they are also doing well, and only care about things not changing for them.

Reality is, 90% of the country knows, things aren't fucking working as they are. They are struggling for the bare minimum needed to survive, they know something is wrong, and needs to be massively changed.

When you know everything is completely broken, and one candidate is saying "things are almost perfect, lets keep this amazing country headed the way it is", and the other is saying "everything is wrong, I'll make major changes".

Analogy I use is, the titanic is headed for an iceberg. Passengers see it and are begining to sweat.

Now we have 2 captains, one that says "everythings great, we just stay as where we are, there's no reason to worry". Captain 2 says "That iceberg up ahead is going to destroy us... we need to pick up a ton of speed and ram it with enough force that it breaks".

It's a bad idea... but at least it's not ignoring the problem. So with only those 2 options, the second sounds less crazy. The solution doesn't comport with reality, but aknowledging that there is a real problem, is a huge advantage to someone undermining it and telling you "no really look everything is great".

If anything it seems like that's where they put 99.9% of their focus. It wasn't Bernie Sanders that Harris went touring with for her late run push... It was Liz Cheny.

What do you expect... they replaced their investigative journalists with AI just days before this article came out.

(source, I asked chatgpt to research before doing this comment).

Yup, the classic, "just because you've been paying a landlord 1800 a month for your one bedroom appartment that's almost certainly going to be over 2000 in a year you've crammed your family into, why would I trust you to pay a 1400 a month mortgage.

I wonder if there's just a ticker in the DNC headquarters with public approval on stances.

Isreals genocide is still 50.2% favorability with the general public, we still support them.

50% on the dot.

Then again, I guess they'd need 2 tickers.

Every 5 million from AIPAC is an added 1% buffer for isreal, as long as they stay above 35% we still need to back them.

Holy shit they hit 32%, alright it's actually hurting more than the money helps.

We've heard your pleas, you are sick of your web browser shoving AI down your throat... well worry no more.

What if instead of forcing an AI in your web browser, we force a web browser in your AI!

I mean it's true... but there's a pretty reasonable case that humans aren't sentient. We think we're doing shit for a good reason but at the end of the day on a large scale we're just going through the motions of what our environment leads us to do.

It's called amazon web services.

In short there's 3 major cloud providers

Amazon Web Services

Google Cloud Platform

Microsoft Azure

All 3 basically do the same thing, real simplified version of it. it's kind of a giant pool of server resources that are leased to you by demand. So say if you are netflix and have 100 million people watching the day a new series drops, but then only have 1 million watching tuesday night, they pay based on how much is currently being used, rather than having to set everything to handle peak, but be idle 90% of the time.

again yeah it's expensive for most purposes... and one can argue how bad it is on the whole, but it is kind of what most companies have been using for a lot of things for the last 15 years.

Seconded I would 100% say, very few claims that "nobody ever wants" have any chance of being true, you could say most, you could even say "almost nobody". But give me enough time and a large enough set of people, I'll find someone who actually wants to have their head put on a pike.
