This will continue (the whole of America suffering) until someone wrangles in Trump...

... or he gets us into a major war we can't win.

[–] nova_ad_vitum@lemmy.ca 18 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Rich people have to start losing significant amounts of money before anything is done about Trump.

[–] in4apenny@lemmy.dbzer0.com 6 points 1 day ago

Yeah especially if he pisses off say military or oil contractors... ((Looks at the article this comment thread belongs to))

I’m hoping the Canadians invade into an area I live so I can join their side.

[–] taiyang@lemmy.world 12 points 1 day ago (2 children)

I still think Mexico is looking pretty cool lately with their badass President.

[–] anomnom@sh.itjust.works 2 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Yeah, I hope she stays in power long enough to make progress.

Canada should be able to pull the UK right into the fight, and maybe France too. We’d need nuclear powers in our side to ever end a fucking war.

[–] taiyang@lemmy.world 1 points 1 day ago

I mean, I wouldn't be surprised if in my lifetime we end up with a unified world government that excludes literally just US and Russia. Israel would be excluded too except who the hell knows what'll happen to the middle east after yet another world war.

Think we can make it over the wall?

[–] taiyang@lemmy.world 3 points 1 day ago

With an airplane, yes. That's how most undocumented folks do it, after all. Lol

[–] CosmicCleric@lemmy.world 22 points 2 days ago (3 children)

This will continue (the whole of America suffering) until someone wrangles in Trump…

When Republican Senators profits or jobs become at risk, because of what Trump's doing, then you'll see some wrangling done.

Genuine question: why is this comment licensed under creative commons?

[–] OutlierBlue@lemmy.ca 77 points 1 day ago (5 children)

He's the equivalent of one of those Facebook people that thinks "if you put this at the end of your posts they can't steal your comments". It's nonsense and doesn't change anything. Just ignore it and keep scrolling.

[–] echolalia@lemmy.ml 39 points 1 day ago (6 children)

I miss the old web, where if someone wanted to RP as a alien or a cat or something in all their forum posts, we just kind of rolled with it. The internet was strange and diverse.

So many people are dog piling this guy because, in essence, he isn't conforming. He's including a little forum signature on his lemmy posts in 2025.

Just ignore it and keep scrolling.

I agree, but not in a "this guy is an idiot" kind of way, but in a "do whatever you want and keep the internet diverse and strange" kind of way. Let the guy have his small protest. Folks need to stop dog piling him. It shows up in many of the threads he's in, and judgments about his little signature dominate over anything he actually had to say.

In complete accord with this comment. We've stared into the abyss so long, we've become the abyss.

I remember decades ago, this one guy on Slashdot would end all his comments with a period on a line by itself like he was using SMTP. It was dumb then and it's dumb now.

[–] echolalia@lemmy.ml 16 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

Hm, interesting. So this guy was posting all weird on slashdot, and you remember decades later? And you carried that with you, and it inspired you to type this comment. That's a lot of commitment on your part for a stray period.

That's pretty funny. Thank you for sharing.

Does your hate for personality and individuality extend to any other harmless quirks you'd like us all to know about?

In this way the ai bros won't use that comment for training LLMs. Because they care about copyright and they would never, for example, download a torrent with 81 terabytes of pirated ebooks

[–] CosmicCleric@lemmy.world 7 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

Its also to let non-profit open-source projects training their LLMs that they can use my posts/comments.

Be hilarious if it catches on and all the LLM bots start eroneously claiming to be CC licensed.

[–] cowfodder@lemmy.world 16 points 1 day ago (1 children)

It does nothing, but some people think it messes with AI and keep doing it.

[–] can@sh.itjust.works 16 points 1 day ago (2 children)

Hasn't it been abundantly clear that no group training an AI cares about the sourcing at all?

[–] CosmicCleric@lemmy.world 3 points 1 day ago

Doesn't mean that they can't be held responsible for it later.

And are you really supposed to just give up the protections/abilities that you have under the law just because enforcement has been lax?

It's that boomer Facebook "I don't consent to use using data" meme in it's newest form.

What if Elon has already bought them all? It doesn't take much for a jizzilionaire like him

[–] justOnePersistentKbinPlease@fedia.io 8 points 1 day ago (2 children)

His wealth is mostly imaginary. If he actually moved to solidify any significant portion of it, it would all collapse as its tied up in very few companies.

When he was at a listed value of 200 billion he had to get 20-30 other groups and governments together for the whole twitter takeover. Which should have been easy for him at the time based on his net worth alone.

  1. It's always better to spend the money of others.
  2. It doesn't appear that bribing congresspeople is all that expensive. IIRC, it only took $60k to bribe that one congressperson who got caught.
  3. Just the threat of financing primary challengers appears to be enough to control Republican congresspeople. He's probably privately doing the same with some Dems too (offering not to finance challengers; he's already said he will finance challengers to all Democrats).
[–] tomi000@lemmy.world 4 points 1 day ago (1 children)

It doesnt really matter if he can get 200 billion in cash right this instant. His theoretical net worth is enough to get him the influence and power that comes with that kind of money.

I am absolutely not saying that he can't get enough money up to fuck everything up.

But most of his wealth is Tesla stock. Recall that when he sold only $10 billion of it, the price tanked.

He is only worth $200+ billion if you don't look at it hard.

...or he gets us into a major war ~~we can't win~~ everyone loses

I heard that Warren Buffet bought stocks related to a serious war, like satellite-bassd radio.. I am scared.

Think there's any chance the draft dodger doesn't try to reinstate the draft?

[–] Maeve@kbin.earth 3 points 1 day ago

I doubt anyone really wants that, other than possibly the USA and Israel. I hope the rest of the world will curb our worst impulses, since we're clearly refusing to do it, ourselves.
