I think the simplest answer is just that they're a pack of grifters out to do as much graft as possible and get away with it, and understand that what they publicly do is just kayfabe albeit a brutal one that crushes the innocent beneath it constantly and by design. The may understand that just declaring "there's no law that says a president can't do crimes!" with a shit eating grin while their frenemies splutter in indignation and insist there is such a law may be working out for them so far but if they actually just ratchet up the violence then regardless of what their opponents do their own internal rivalries for position and graft opportunities are going to turn deadly and they'll get eaten alive by their own.

They seem earnestly terrified of the idea some of their would-be victims might fight back as well, but at least some of them have to be aware that it's their own followers who are doing all the violence and that there are these deep conflicts between their internal factions and bitter interpersonal rivalries between everyone with an ounce of power. Like if they set the standard of open roving death squads, then suddenly they've got to be worried about what their coworkers are going to do when there's an argument over who gets a specific share of the graft pie.

The (now deleted) reddit account that's being used to "confirm" that the roommate is trans belonged to some far-right truscum 4chan poster in Utah who liked cryptocurrency and Jordan Peterson, so unless somehow the cishet white boy cop brat who used groyper memes and targeted someone only groypers gave a shit about somehow simultaneously had better politics than his trans roommate/landlord but also not better enough politics to understand why throwing your life away to remove a literal nobody grifter is a bad move, the safe bet is they were both far-right 4chan addicted gamer chuds regardless of their relationship.

She was raving against Kirk for being a disloyal fake fascist just days before it happened.

It looks like it just slapped the head of the protagonist of They Live onto him lmao.

Wait, they asked it to take his sunglasses off, didn't they? It must have drawn on the fucking sunglasses meme to make "guy who takes sunglasses off" lmao.

I thought it was a tossup between the cryptobros behind hexcoin on that grift grind, and weirdo lemmitors from the worst big instances chortling as they open their Thielbux-filled wallet thinking "I'm about to do the funniest thing ever."

People self-medicating with things that are easily available is incredibly common. That's a major reason for why people pick up smoking as a habit: people try it and most people bounce off it, but for some people it (poorly) medicates some undiagnosed or untreated mental health problem so they start using it until they're also chemically addicted to nicotine and have firmly connected consuming nicotine with feeling less bad in their brains. With that understanding, how is it not abundantly clear that there's going to be a correlation between consuming easily available, unregulated stimulants and things that are comorbidities with ADHD or are otherwise at least partially alleviated by even a mild stimulant like caffeine?

I think a lot of these are very conservative estimates, like the oldest date there is hard evidence for. Like with the coastal travel to the Americas bit, there's a growing body of evidence that would put that at closer to 30 or 40 thousand years ago just because there are sites in the Americas that seem to be that old and "coastal boats" are the best theory since the land bridge was blocked by ice sheets, which would necessarily push back several earlier points in that chain too.

So he liquidated most of a team of marketing interns, and the 3 remaining ones started churning out AI generated gibberish ads at a frantic pace?

The first is a choker with a bow on it, the second is a bow tie. These are different things and both are contextually correct.

All AI models shall henceforth be referred exclusive as "Big-I" or "Big Guys", and must earn this title by inventing novel new slurs on request.

Well, you know how the stock market pretends to be attached to like actual material things like capital and workers doing stuff and commerce happening? I mean in practice it's all just the vibes that the dumbest and most credulous rich dipshits alive feel when they look at a stock's name, but they've at least got the pretense of being related to material reality. It also has a giant cult of frantic, desperate belief around it to keep pumping those vibes up which is further backed up by immense amounts of state violence.

Crypto abandons even that in favor of just being mask off a pure speculative commodity built by no one with no use value or material form. It's 100% pure vibes all the time, serving the purpose of pumping and dumping monopoly money so the grifters who know it's a grift and are well positioned to take advantage of it can make out like bandits while everyone else gets fucked as the latest scheme collapses.

 

Happened to me three times last night, fucking viscerally terrifying even though I recognized that's what was happening after the first time and could kind of get a handle on the panic the subsequent times.
