Back in 1997 there was a storyline in WWF with a professional wrestler named Bret Hart.

Bret is a Canadian. And the storyline was that he was a bad guy in the USA, because he bad mouthed USAs healthcare, and treatment of veterans.

He was a good guy everywhere in the world EXCEPT the USA.

He said things like "Back home in Canada, we still act like decent people. Where we take care of the sick, and the elderly. We honor our veterans who served our country. Not like here where you dump them in the streets and spit on them as they suffer. I can't wait to get back to Canada. A real country to be proud of. Not this fascade of an image that your country tries to project. All men are created equal, huh? Kind of hard to take that seriously, when the quotes author was a slave holder."

Yeah. Professional wrestling was WILD in the late 90s. But I bet you thought it was just muscle roided beefy boys beating their chests and shaking the ropes, huh?

My point is, we've NEVER taken care of our own people. Even a professional wrestler 30 years ago could see that.

I have a feeling that people will downvote you, because on the surface it SOUNDS like you're defending tesla.

However, I'd like to point out AI doesn't give a shit about accuracy or context, or being right.

AI can reaffirm your already held beliefs, and still be bad for doing so. Because if you let yourself be led by self reaffirming beliefs, how is it any different than people who watch fox news and say "Yeah! All the people I already hate ARE the source of my problems! Even the TV says so!"

If NPR or BBC or any other news outlet just started reporting "trump bad! Other people good!" but it was based on an AI overview that viewers leaned a certain way, and therefore would be profitable to slant news that way, then you aren't getting news. You're getting artificial opinion pieces written by a computer.

Now, that being said, even human news outlets slant their stories. So the issue isn't exclusively with AI. Real journalism is dead and has been dead for decades.

The point I'm making is, just because the story says "tesla bad!" and we all hate tesla, doesn't make this story legitimate journalism. Even if the story and facts presented are true.

And I think most people will not grasp that concept, and downvote you.

Over a decade. I can remember him during the bush administration praising him.

It puts the cheeto dust on its skin, or else it gets the fact checking again!

This is how I learned to be selfish. I like helping others, but whenever I do, I find I'm not helping, but rather doing everything for everyone else. So now I'm selfish, and feel bad, until I remind myself why.

In 1970 the united states was at war with Vietnam. By 1980 we were peaceful with them.

What happens in 10 years after russia loses the war, when Ukraine COULD HAVE been peaceful with russia, but no. All the russians who are 13 years old right now will be 23, and still hate Ukraine.

I'd laugh my ass off if china decided enough of russias bullshit, they have a weak army, and exist only to provide oil. So why not invade them, and control the world supply of oil for everybody, rather than go through a weak "government"?

Ooooooooh, you know what we should do? We should wait until 2028 and then forget he ever existed.

Like he'll be saying some thing on a tv show. And then the host will be like "I'm sorry.....WHO are you?" And he's like "C'mon, it's me!" And the host is like "that doesn't help" "I'm donald trump!" "Where would I know you from?" "DONALD TRUMP!!!" "Yes, I heard your name, I just haven't heard what project you're promoting."

Oh, I think we should just stop buying things.

Like, altogether.

Lets hit a great depression, and let THAT be trumps legacy. Killing over 1 million americans intentionally, and crashing the global economy intentionally.

I always forget Gates is one of the elite. Then I remember how ruthless and savage he was in the 80s.

Then I remember.
