If Genocide wasn't on the ballot than how can you accuse anyone of supporting a genocide by the way they voted?

Political parties don't learn, they respond to power.

They failed to predict voter sentiment so obviously they're right about the voters being at fault.

I don't think we were financing loans with GPUs as collateral back in 2012 or 2016: https://pivot-to-ai.com/2024/11/04/silicon-valley-and-wall-street-invent-collateralized-gpu-obligations-surely-this-will-work-out-fine/

Big difference between this and 2016 is JD Vance is the adult, not Mike Pence. His ties to Peter Thiel is scary. Also we just had a billionaire buy votes, no way that is going to stop now.

Markets are cyclic and we're overdue for the AI bubble to pop. But I don't think that automatically means the Democrats can win another presidential election or win the Senate.

That or the many other demoralizing speeches. We did not need to hear Clinton talk about human shields.

You might be on to something in the sense that coming back with a more inclusive response is a better approach. I don't think that makes them "right" though.

He will do half of what he said he would and say that is proof he was joking.

Not if your single issue is preserving democracy ^___

But you see, they are smart because they have lots of money. /s

Somehow it worked, I don't understand how though

Just because someone failed to rob a bank doesn't mean they aren't a bank robber.

The rich do nothing about a problem by default.

Well you can't take the effect and make it the cause

Maybe she disagrees with "who needs their opinions changed".

I'm very curious what the numbers are, care to drop any sources?

In Satya Nadella's Hit Refresh, he says that "growth mindset" is how he describes Microsoft's emerging culture, and that "it's about every individual, every one of us having that attitude — that mindset — of being able to overcome any constraint, stand up to any challenge, making it possible for us to grow and, thereby, for the company to grow."

Strikes me as a poorly plagiarized Toyota Kata. Toyota Kata promises your org will be maximally adaptive but it sounds like Satya wanted to one-up that with "overcome any constraints". Toyota emphasizes iterative improvements as way a to build up systems knowledge, but Satya seems to take an essentialist read on the matter to say it's a "mindset", like improvement is an ingredient instead of a process.

Who wants to vote swap with me? I'll write in Refaat Alareer if someone votes Kamala in a swing state. I'm in California so don't tell me I'd be wasting my vote.

"It's just a joke bro, they aren't even a race" made me chuckle. The best part was doubling down at the end that it's really America that's racist. Great satire, even if unintentional.

You know that is actually insightful to the PTSD that many IDF soldiers are experiencing.
