It'sincredible how the news keeps coming. He secretly sent Covid test kits to the Kremlin for the personal use of Vladimir Putin when there were nowehere near enough being produced for domestic use. He's spoken to Putin numerous times with no-one else listening since leaving the WH. Republican governors have shown him to be lying repeatedly about the federal hurricane response, and his own staff have reported that he did play political games with disaster relief and tried to withold help from Blue states. In conventional terms it's hard to imagine any candidate having a worse week than this. But with Trump, does it even matter?

Well heck as long as they pick one of the non-radioactive nuclear warheads then it can't hurt. Clearly the guy has thought this through.

This is going to be one of those times you end up arguing with yourself over what that actually means, isn't it?

Well, when everyone who doesn’t like racism is considered toxic, it’s actually quite nice to hear it doesn’t leave many to see.

You know, I have to admire your audacity. I don't think it is. But anyway, so what? You won't, because you're incapable of writing a coherent English language sentence from start to finish. No one knows what the fuck you're saying, pretty much ever. We get the vague sense of Trump good, liberals bad but that's about as far as it goes. That you think of yourself as some kind of prophet who could open everyone's eye to the truth around them if only they'd listen is one of the saddest things I've ever heard.

Oklahoma State Superintendent Ryan Waters puts out a bid for the state to buy 55,000 bibles for classrooms. Bibles that also contain the Declaration of Independence and the US Constitution, and that must be bound in 'leather or leather like material'. Why such odd and oddly specific requirements? Could it be something to do with the fact that Trump's grossly overpriced and literally tacky bible is the only one on the market that meets them? So Oklahoma taxpayers get to be $3M poorer because the Maga moron they elected wants to curry favour with the Supreme Leader. https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2024/oct/05/oklahoma-schools-trump-bible

You mean, in a face to face debate it might be possible for someone else to have half a clue of whatever the hell you're trying to say?

Who says good things never happen to nice people? Funny to read that she used her pre-sentencing address to the judge to explain at great length that she was right all along, isn't sorry and would definitely do it again if allowed. Also puts the lie to anyone who claims Trump never did anything wrong. He and his team of fraudsters created true believers out of people like her, and are responsible for all the knock on damage those people caused as well as what they tried directly.

Indeed, a thing plainly obvious to everyone who’s ever owned a credit card and set up automated payments. Didn’t I say it’d be fun to see just how long Brent spends arguing against reality on a topic that doesn’t even matter?

It’s very much worth a look if you want to feel righteously angry about something! Ok that’s cool.

And as said, AI is already being used in law enforcement and border control without any of those safeguards. Has news of the British Post Office scandal made it international? Hundreds and hundreds of post office branch owners prosecuted for theft for decades purely on the basis of data form a faulty accounting system that the organisation refused to accept was anything but flawless. Ok, single corrupt organisation, so far so whatever. But in court, there is a principle in modern British law that computer evidence is assumed to be perfect unless the other side can prove otherwise. Now, this makes sense if you consider a pocket calculator, right? 2 + 2 will always = 4. But anyone who’s worked in an office of any kind (or opened Excel once) in the last 40 years knows that complex interlinked computer systems are a fucking nightmare. There’s no specialist knowledge needed to recognise that, it’s plainly obvious from simply existing in the world. If the legal system hasn’t even caught up with that yet, AI could cause absolute chaos.

Oh no, he has developed Podcast Man Voice!

It will also come up with bad answers all on its own. It doesn't just copy and paste information from the web, right? It generates new sentences and paragraphs to convey that information to you. But it doesn't know what any of the things it says to you actually mean. It has no human ability to do a gross error check on whether the information sounds right, it's just putting together sentences that sound good in the desired language style. So a lawyer using AI to write briefs was found out because they were riddled with references to caselaw and even circuit courts that simply don't exist, and AI cookbooks will tell you how to make a lovely chinese inspired chicken, strawberry jam and garlic lasagne.

Right - so when TK said that in his case it did affect his credit score and you implied he didn't know how credit scores were calculated you (stay with me here because this bit is complicated) were wrong.

Concepts of what? That's what you thought that quote was saying? Like.... seriously? Ah yes, you're playing on a genius level the rest of us can but scratch the surface of. They call it 'the weave'.

Define any single one of those words? Actually, let me guess - What is postmodernism? Well, postmodernism is... the underpinning of woke! And woke is the end of postmodernism! So now we all know exactly what that's about.

All of that sounds like what you would say.

If your general approach reading involves imagining the words you want to see that would actually explain a whole hell of a lot.

A handy relocating of the goalposts, yet still you have zero evidence to support it.

And yet you are here in this thread explicitly telling us that more will be built in multiple states... for no money. How are they going to manage it?

Says who? When do credit card companies report to credit bureaus? One reason there’s so much confusion about when credit card companies report to credit bureaus is that there’s no clear-cut, universally applicable answer (annoying, we know)... And while you can generally expect that your credit card activity will be reported to the bureaus at the end of your billing cycle, it’s not a hard-and-fast rule. “It can be anywhere from quarterly to daily for an individual consumer’s information, depending on the choices and practices of the lender or creditor,”

Ok, lets see how long this lasts... So if $7Bn has been spent then what are the next 2492 being built with, wishes and fairy dust? Again, why such a painfully transparent lie?

Here’s a synopsis of this conversation: Me: How much money has been spent? Brent: 8 stations in 2024 of money! Gowlerk: No seriously, how much money? Brent: 12 states of money! I mean, you know how painfully obvious it is you’re just covering up yet another lie, right?

Then why do you deny the reality that global things happened to change that regardless of who’s in the White House? Why do you ignore the fact that no one is proposing a bigger tax rise than Trump?
