So many gullible people in this country, happily lining up to be taken advantage of by Trump and his flying monkeys
A MAGA influencer jacking off in public while wearing an Uncle Sam costume seems almost too on the nose. Who wants to bet Trump pardons him?

If this is accurate, it’s depressing to think what kind of person you have to be to come up with this idea. Probably not a good person to trust with AI at all

@dammn@fosstodon.org I actually don’t think it’s too harsh. I think the sickness of fake individualism is what’s at the root of American failure - we can pretend that’s not the case but I prefer to confront and solve problems, not ignore them and allow them to fester

@dammn@fosstodon.org You might not wanna, but you *will* pay for all those items during your life. You’re just bad faith pretending these are optional for the sake of argument and ignoring that collectively we pay a tiny amount vs the huge cost of paying individually. Freedumb!
I suggest you have a chat with a financial planner sometime, see if they think your strategy makes any sense. Assuming you *dont* want to throw away money that is.
