In the words of Juan Sánchez-Villalobos Ramírez "Well, that's something we shall have to remedy, isn't it?"

Two dozen is 23 more than needed.

Archive of original

Can't say I've ever heard of that website but looking into it there are articles pumped out by it every hour and it has no traction.

Ad supported AI writing by a wobbly wheeled janny would be my best guess.

Anyone with real money would not chose to live in the US. Even people born there and wish to retain their citizenship stay overseas, Hawaii at the least.

So clearly this isn't about money moving in and inviting everyone around for a barbecue.

It does seem to be an entrance for those with enough capital backing behind them to come in and establish satellite offices for their successful ventures based elsewhere. A means of trade for business which will enrich both the US and wherever they are from - An inverse USAID if you will.

Instead of a deal for infrastructure reform being done on the East coast of Africa being brokered in Jordan, it is brokered in Miami. The freighting of goods through the Panama canal isn't sealed in Tokyo, but Boston. How the world heads discuss collective action in done in New York, not Davos.

That's how it seems to me at least. I can't think of other ways which the US would benefit from an open market which allowed agitators in unless it was in their interests to maintain control. Think Lebanon of 1960 versus any decade before or after that. Beirut was the centre of economic, social, intellectual, and cultural life in the Arabic Middle East. By not maintaining its elite status it became a Third World country still plagued by terrorist activity.

I think this is a case of keep your enemies closer.

But I've no clue as to what is going on in Trump's mind. But it's fun to speculate.

You show me a working example of any perpetual civilisation and I'll jump in with both feet first.

As it is it seems like a state of constant flux to me.

But I'm sure, this time, it'll work out just right.

Been a while since Jon Stewart pulled out one of his NAMBLA jokes.

Used to be a semi-regular thing during the W. Bush era.

Again you are perfectly right with all of that.

I'm just pointing out the similarities that the succeeding nations are doing at the moment.

I don't like it and feel it is still globalisation but set to a different beat.

These 'new jobs' will still be for maximum profit and so the cheaper the workforce the better it is for shareholders.

If the taxpayers=shareholder card being hinted at by Trump works then bully for the US!

However history has shown that it's not about everyone having, it's about making sure that some have not. If that value system is to be maintained then regardless of democratic choice there will be an imbalance towards to those with gaining more.

If I were a conspiracy theorist (Which I'm not) I'd say the whole thing was orchestrated to further divide the rich from poor. As it is I think it's just about treading water against actual threats to the future of the species.

You are correct with all of that but the US is charging 5 times more than China is for the same deal currently.

I know a lot of people who spent $1 million to set themselves up as in China as 'semi-nationals' who spend a lot of money, pay a lot of taxes and employ a lot of people.

Most of the devices you use to share your thought with us, regardless of where you are in the world, share their origins with some of those people. Be it access entry point, telecoms system, servers or handling logistics for physicality.

I think that Trump is just trying to keep the keel upright as India is about to become the new China and if we're not all in the same boat then whoever gets the wind sets the pace.

The book with tiny AI threat to thinking in the background but ultimately about the 'patriarchy' and bringing it down.

Written by a wummin' in sci-fi before it was cool and loved by veggie lesboid feminists and so took a central role in 'modern thinking'.

Tiny AI threat to thinking in the background is now a serious threat to veggie lesboid feminists.

"Oh noes! Get out my bathroom!" says aforementioned veggie lesboids (And their daughters) because tiny crack in the foundations is now huge chasm that makes them useless.

Add, formerly laughable, conspiracy theories like the 'Dead Internet' into the mix and this is the new #Gamergate for the next decade.

It takes reading the book (And its sequel) but pretty much:

Let's laugh at good hearted priests getting ass raped by aliens. What?! The real story was about AI being the threat the whole time!?! Won't somebody stop thinking about the children's gender and sexuality for a moment and get us out of this!!!

In short; computers win, everyone is now equal (Except those controlling them).

FFS why does nobody supply a reasonable source archive these days? (Not you XBX_X, just everyone sharing the image and comments without a valid source).

In Mary Doria Russell's sci-fi book "The Sparrow" there are AI scrapers who encode all actions of human experts with the idea that they can recreate a better replacement of an intelligent agent for that role. They are called "Vultures" and are ultimately useless regarding the plot of the story but may serve as an allegory for 'Individuality' in a deified world.

Little known piece of trivia which will surely be making the rounds once 'experts' figure out that they are tomorrow's old iPhone model and try to bring up the 'dead internet' as a means of rallying against losing what is underneath all of those characteristic identifiers they've been forcing people to volunteer to strangers.

Personally I'm a cuck who enjoys watching emotionless Gigeresque automatons ass rape wailing pious purists who were ignorantly certain that they were the future of humanity despite their marauding of it all.

Seems I don't have to do anything to get my rocks off with this one.

I'm sure investors will just trust them as the entire market collapses this year.

GTA VI looks like the only potential redeemer and even at that the market is getting antsy with devs screwing around.

This is preposterous!

Since the masked assailant hasn't been caught (And we are to presume that he existed) he must have forced his way through the back door.

Terrible, terrible.

The comic reeks of layered humour but sadly the Left can't hear of someone like Martin Delany or Walter Tull without first hating their whiteness because of their names before revering their blackness once they are educated about their actions in life.

The very idea that Red Shirts were the cannon fodder for shows like Star Trek, which had the first onscreen interracial kiss without celebration within the show, goes over their head until some minstrel makes a song and dance about it to appease their superiority complex.

DEI does nothing for anyone apart from line scammers pockets by making people feel guilty for something they haven't done.

If Nick Fury was cast as a black man today there would be no end of it from either end had Sam Jackson not already made the part of his own without fanfare.

Things aren't right, and will never be, but they are always getting better every day for those who can actually compare and not buy into the latest craze which sustains charlatans.

It was all part of the plan to get Italy to send Columbus to find the Americas to then filter money back to what would be Israel.

It was all part of the Italian Jewish plan to create the Mafioso and kill that Mick JFK.

The British were in on it the whole time!

I'm pretty sure the authoritarian control over every aspect of people's lives (Including ending them for no reason) is the problem we had with Nazis.

The fact that over-categorising, documenting and then processing people all over again is the current reality that certain authoritarian entities think they can do makes Nazis relevant again.

It's just the wrong side that being called them is taking flak and proving how well meaning people can easily get bent into one.

And then, of course, there are those blaming the Juice for it all.

Doctor Who was fine up until Chibnall. Sure it had plenty of wonky moments in it but overall it was a fine family science fantasy adventure that educated in fanciful ways and started conversations about morality and tinkering with situations that had massive knock-on effects.

The death of William Hartnell and popularity of the show allowed it to explore identity and knowing right from wrong as someone almost entirely differently. Allowing for fresh perspectives and takes on situation from new eyes and minds along the years.

When it came back on the air in 2005 it was rushing for the pop culture, early ADHD audience who got a wide range of experiences on a mostly sugar rush diet which lasted for a good 12 years.

The BBC, under the weight of diversity and pompous hubris, decided to change tactics and have more companions, diverse in character, and take away focus from the Doctor (Now a woman) and tackle considerations of modern society a little ham-fistedly. Not mentioning that Rosa Parks was one of many black women sitting in the white area of a public bus showed that edumication wasn't it's motivation but preaching was. The politic minefield that is Kashmir was glossed over as if an antiquated poem from bygone days. The concept of corruption in a post-scarcity consumer society had the customer as the terrorist and all the while the new companions were doing things which contradicted actions firmly laid out that they couldn't, or wouldn't, do in earlier episodes.

The janky writing led to the Doctor not being as important to the already established story by having children tortured and murdered for an incredibly long time led to the creation of the identity of the peoples who the Doctor considered their own. A living martyr who had died countless times at the hands of those who they had considered family. All beacause they had found a baby in a basket by the river (To expand upon that metaphor in a science fiction setting).

As so with that the BBC decided to get additional external funding (From Disney) and bring back the team behind the original reboot and the Casanova show. Before you know it the Doctor is even less important but the fact that he's now a black man, and gay, was the central pivot point in the story. Forget about the stories or the actor playing the central part. He's black, and gay! Now if you don't like the Doctor you are a homophobic racist as well as a misogynist. Forget about snot monsters, farting spaceships and talking babies - no! A gay black dude saved them from the hegemonic elite or that time and you are part of it whether you like it or not.

From there we got better stories than Jodie's Doctor did, but not by much. The Doctor now cries as often as he can (When he's in one of the 8 stories) and a half-assed mystery box which is sold as being completely fresh but actually all dwells on an older Doctor story which most of the audience won't have seen.

Finish it up with a censored man actor who can't speak outside of the black and gay narrative they've been told to use and a suicidal fat Irish woman who dies at Christmas despite not being in the story much and here we are today.

To use a Doctor Who type analogy; the mind virus attacked those who were most open to fighting inequality, the most tolerant and accepting of new ideas, those with a passion for understanding the ramifications of small actions across the wide ranges of the future and the implications of ignoring certain things. It attacked that certain that it could win. Now everyone involved in that attack is seen as the racist, homophobic, misogynistic (And dare I say paedophilic) bullies that they are and the BBC and Disney are off to lick their wounds and pretend that Jimmy Savile and Michael Laney never existed. Looking to travel through the annals of time and Correct the Record with bare faces.

Thankfully the body which the mind virus tried to attack had experienced a fine family science fantasy adventure that educated in fanciful ways and started conversations about morality and tinkering with situations that had massive knock-on effects. It didn't stand a chance.
