Low information voters who feel guilty about voting for trump because of women’s rights.
You’re not one of the idiots who’s vote they’re trying to win.
Nah the campaign has released this prior to the book release because they think it makes trump look more balanced on women’s rights.
Remember, they’re not trying to win your vote, but “low information” swing voters who will decide who to vote for based on whatever meme they happen to remember.
Let’s not look too deeply.
Someone’s contacted her saying they’ll give her a few million if she let’s them write some bullshit memoirs.
No one has cared about the insignificant experiences of this vapid bimbo since she progressed from lamb to mutton, so the book needs some controversial opinions or it just won’t sell.
I suspect that someone thinks this will make Trump seem more balanced on women’s rights which is why they’ve leaked this prior to the book release.
Yeah, I’ve never thought that far in to it.
I guess I just think it’s a way to “tease” someone without the target of the joke being them. Like, lets all laugh about what an idiot dad is, instead of lets all laugh about what an idiot this kid is.
When I was a kid uncles, siblings, and yeah parents, “teased” us by making mildly humiliating comments about which we would all laugh in a good natured hearty way. As in “fine_sandy_bottom is too short, we’ll have to put sheep poo in his boots to help him grow quicker”. Maybe it’s just teasing, maybe it’s a shitty thing to say to a child.
Playing “dad is an embarrassing idiot” doesn’t have that ambiguity.
To me, post-truth doesn’t really mean “everyone lies all the time”, rather it means that on contentious issues, there is no single perspective or narrative universally accepted as “the truth”.
In 2024, facts and information is so readily available that its possible to find “facts” to support whatever perspective or position you want, even disingenuously.
Just a few decades ago, facts and information came from news papers and the evening news on TV. There was no “choose your own adventure” nonsense.
That doesn’t really have much to do with trump and Vance, they just plain lie all the time and their voters don’t care, because they’re “low information” voters. That’s not really what posy truth is about IMO.
My kids are just toddlers but I’m so pumped to embarrass them with dad-attempts-cool-talk.
Oh man. I had blocked that sub. Silly me.
Thanks for the assist!
In Thailand they ban the major progressive party after nearly every election. Usually they’ve already formed another party even before the ban comes down. Often the party leaders are excluded but it doesn’t achieve much and creates the perception that they’re persecuted.
Can someone link me the VP debate discussion thread?
I wonder if maybe me or my home instance is banned from that community.
This is the answer.
Also what types of employers. Large companies vs small business.
Yeah.
A lot of commenters have unrealistic expectations, as though anything less than burning capitalism to the ground is unacceptable.
How dare she allow the country’s largest source of revenue to continue producing oil.
I would prefer a president with a doctorate in climate science than one without.
So they pretended to show up with supplies but it was just lies and no supp.
This isn’t really what OP is talking about.
We really can’t see very well at all outside of the centre of our focus. this paper says 6 degrees, I heard this as a coin held at arms length.
Our minds “render” most of the rest of what we think we see.
You’re right that we discard most of our sensory inputs, but with visual inputs there’s much less data than it appears.
A lot of what you’re saying is getting lost in the weeds of semantics I think.
Much of the wikipedia article links to this source: Pearl, Tracy Hresko (2015) “Crowd Crush: How the Law Leaves American Crowds Unprotected,” Kentucky Law Journal: Vol. 104: Iss. 1, Article 4.
Which says (emphasis mine):
C. Crowd Psychology
Despite what the incidents described above may suggest to people not well-versed in crowd science, studies have consistently shown that crowd behavior is rarely irrational or "crazed.“t ° Instead, scientists have found the opposite: “that an unorchestrated crowd behaves rationally.”” ° Scientists assert that this rationality is present in crowds because, in most situations, “members of the crowds have dear knowledge of what and where their goals lie”: entering a stadium, moving closer to the entertainment, returning to the parking lot, etc.
Furthermore, despite what media accounts of crowd incidents may suggest, there is very little evidence suggesting that crowds are prone to panic or unreasonable behavior. 12 Not only are documented cases of true crowd panic "surprisingly scarce in the literature,"1 13 closer investigation of such incidents usually reveals both (a) that the crowd responded rationally to a real or perceived threat,’ and (b) that “[u]nregulated competition, which is crucial to most explanations of panic, did not occur,” but rather "cooperative behavior continued throughout the course of the event."1 15 Even in situations in which crowds have reacted dramatically to a real or perceived threat, subsequent investigations have almost always shown that “flight was a reasonable group reaction under the perceived circumstances” and that “mutual cooperation and assistance” rather than “destructive behavior” was the norm among individuals within the group. 1 6
However, crowds are often unfairly deemed irrational or “out of control,” because of a characteristic that is inherent in almost every crowd, particularly those of high densities: the lack of communication between the front of the crowd and the back-1 7 “People in a crowd do not have a broad view of what is happening around them,” notes one crowd expert.Instead, “psychologists have likened a crowd to a series of intermeshing behavioral cells. Each cell is comprised of a small group of surrounding people, with limited communication between them.” 9 As a result, when crowds reach high-risk densities, people at the back of the crowd may continue to press forward even though individuals at the front of the crowd are in severe distress 12 ° Indeed, unless the venue has some way of both overseeing and addressing the entire crowd, embers at the back of the crowd have virtually no way of knowing that a crisis is occurring up front.12’ Moreover, in many situations, “[t]he collapsing of the front ranks [of the crowd] gives a false perception of forward movement” so that individuals at the back of the crowd may reasonably believe that all is well and that the crowd is continuing to move forward smoothly. 122 Thus, contrary to frequent allegations that crowd members behaved badly during crowd crushes, the overwhelming bulk of available evidence suggests that crowd members behaved rationally under the circumstances in virtually every crowd crush incident on record.
This rational behavior on the part of crowds is scientifically significant because it means that crowds are highly predictable-even in emergency situations-and that "[t]he motion of a crowd can therefore be modeled using engineering principles."12 3 This predictability is also highly significant to the legal notions of breach and causation (and thus liability overall), as discussed below.
Something that isn’t really captured here is how a crowd can generate so much force. I guess the pressure is increased as each “cell” absorbs the push from behind and adds more of their own push.
I don’t think the terminology really helps because the nuanced difference between different types of incidents is lost on me.
It might be better to simply say that deaths in crowds are never caused by panic, but rather the mismanagement of crowds leading to too much density.
My point is that the formats we’re talking about define the content. Like it’s not “just a zip file” merely because it’s compressed. The format defines the data that may be included.
You’ve misconstrued the comment you’re replying to because you either misunderstood or didn’t read my comment above it.
I’m not saying Trump’s latest brain fart is “the great filter”.
I’m saying the great filter is populations all over the world having a propensity to vote for people like Trump, who actively plan to make all the problem’s we’re facing much worse to further their own ends.
I’ve never been an alarmist, but I will say that as a species we don’t seem to be on a trajectory towards prosperity, and global leaders don’t seem to have a plan to correct that trajectory.
This is my take. I’ve never watched the purge.
It sounds to me like he’s just saying the police need to be able to dispense “justice” with impunity, and in his mind that can be tempered be saying you’d only need to do it once.
It’s just the latest in a long line of really concerning attitudes that the right seems happy to support.
Honestly i feel like this current lurch to the right, as we try to manage climate change, AI, and wealth concentration, is the great filter. We have some big problems and the right is just so determined to double down with all our current shitty plans.
What happens if I put an mp3 or an epub file in there with the xml? Is it still a word document?
in the same way they hear about anything else.
