Slave confirmed!
A dementia patient forgot his own tack. Figures.
You're not denying it, so I'm "shitting my pants in fear" of...a dementia patient.
Slaves reply to this.
Because he has early-onset dementia.
He keeps forgetting what he just did.
A family friend was recently diagnosed. I've seen what it's like.
He has early-onset dementia. He'll never answer you.
Or he's drunk.
Guy at meeting: "This could've been an email..."
Me at this video: "This could've been a .png..."
Years ago in High School, had a fantastic political science teacher
He would be called based today (would also never be hired being a white male). Caucasian, in his 40s, devout Catholic
Was also a football coach, students loved him
He had a Socratic teaching style
I memorably recall one student in the class, super liberal girl, she was the prototype of things to come
She got into an argument with him early on in the school year about Immigration
Her argument was the usual shitlib concept of infinity migrants and what about empathy
He let her go on for a bit about "lets turn bombs into bowls to feed the hungry"
At the end of her rant, he asked her
"I see you're very passionate about this. So what are YOU going to specifically do about it?"
She fired back with a bunch of hypotheticals about what should be done, he cut her off
"I'm not asking what you THINK should be done. I am asking what actions you are going to demonstrably take to make these things happen"
She didn't have an answer.
He left it at that, (and his point was not embarrass her)
He segued into a discussion on objective political action requiring organization, policy agenda, donor funding, getting in contact with actual policy makers and representatives and time invested.
It was educational.
I think back to that conversation. When you see people constantly up in arms about the Current Political Thing giving hot takes and what they wish would happen.
Wishful thinking is meaningless.
"What are you going to do about it?"
You: Bark, whine, moan, accomplish nothing
Them: "Let's go, everybody--keep 'em firing!"
Response: Bark, whine, moan, accomplish nothing
I give money.
You bark, whine and moan with the other dozen people here acting holier-than-thou about purity and archiving while the enemy opens fire at Donald Trump and Charlie Kirk.
So
Again
What are you going to do about it?
What are you going to do about it?
He's talking about a few brilliant minds, not millions of idiots.
That said, I don't like that either. We have Americans for that.
The very first sentence he says in his reply is "I didn't say this about Chinese but..." and he goes on to explain what happens if you suddenly get rid of all foreign students.
So anyone who characterizes it as "Trump wants 600,000 Chinese students..." automatically loses my respect and for me, it's deliberate misinformation, and hence I suspect their real motives.
Holy crap. That's pretty damning.
Same for the other profiles noted in these comments.
"Once is happenstance. Twice is coincidence. The third time, it's enemy action."
I'll be back to remind you when they do.
Unless you've abandoned this account, like one of your other alts.
Wow. I'm actually autistic and I got the metaphor.
Which will become literal once the deportations are complete.
Less supply of labor means more demand for labor...means higher wages.
Not that this doomer-filled board will get that.
which were then passed onto us in the form of higher prices
If things cost 10% more, but you make 20% more money because your labor is now worth more, did you really lose?
...oh God, I said a couple of these lines today.
I need a moment...self-reflection.
To quote liberals that keep saying this to me:
"Ha ha, what are you going to do about it?"
"Fixed?"
What was the original?
Also screenshots can be easily manipulated
Taylor Lorenz.
Keep blindly trusting them then.
Never ask why the old guard kept pushing archive sites with unlimited funding that could only ever come from one place, when screenshots are simple and secure...
Can't prove it.
But why would "if you're not paying for the product, you are the product" NOT apply to archive sites?
"Re-imaginings" almost never work.
Strangely enough, one that DID is one of my favorite movies of all time: Scarface.
Yeah, the Al Pacino movie wasn't the original. The original came out in 1932 and starred Paul Muni. It was about moving alcohol during Prohibition.
Wait until you learn the truth about archive sites.
You didn't REALLY think these people were running these never-profitable archives out of the goodness of their hearts, did you...?
Inb4 "We know."
Some things need repeating.
Here's a second instance of him saying his memory loss is a huge problem.
Dementia.
