“Can we stop talking about politics for a moment?”

“So, uh, does anyone like Furina from Genshin Impact?”

“HOLY SHIT, okay fine, let’s talk politics.”

Exactly this. Shit I remember when the alt.* tree was added to USENET. The amount of the cabal talk and how the argument actually was: “No, nobody wants to pay to host your racist rants”. And some of the worst stuff I see on Reddit today is light-years better than what the Internet was in plain sight back in the day before cracking down on things actually came around.

I’m glad person in the imaged post was happy with the Internet back then, but it was far from “human and genuine”. This is absolutely some rose tinted nostalgia. What they miss is small niche communities and this kind of talk is exactly how “get off my lawn” elderly people get started.

Exactly. That’s the issue I keep trying to tell others about social media. It is insanely easy to run bot accounts with a very minimal amount of something like Python programming. And even if that’s not your cup of tea, you can just literally have a half dozen people very easily log in and out of six fold the number of actual humans accounts.

Like for six people, running 60 to 80 fake account manually is a piece of cake and if they’re really good and focused on task, that can easily be 150 to 200 accounts manually ran. Like running a bot army is incredibly easy for anyone.

This is why you have to take a lot of social media with a massive grain of salt. A lot of people are out there playing the algorithm, way more than I think people give credit for.

but to spread democracy to everybody around the world at the point of a gun

Wow, well that’s a take. It’s literally some shit you’d hear from Team America: World Police.

They were arrested in El Salvador, likely the charge is “Fuck that person in particular”. El Salvador has long since left any semblance of law and order, that’s why Trump has become so cozy with them.

I will be absolutely shocked if the person is still alive a year from now. And this also highlights why everyone knew that trying to mount legal defense from El Salvadorian jurisdiction was never going to happen. The country has demonstrated zero compunction with incarcerating people the government doesn’t like and indicating that legal rationale isn’t needed to justify their actions.

Mr. On again, Off again.

Total reset for good or just till the Chinese stop saying nice things.

Roughly 2.9 million people who have student loans are age 62 or older. I’m very curious as to how many in that demographic are within this defaulted status. Mostly because any change in social security benefits for a retiree is life altering and if any significant portion of that group that’s defaulted is also this 62 or older group, the changes this will have a massive impact on the population. Retirees that get caught into money troubles not only brings them down, but usually the family that ultimately has to catch them from completely falling through the cracks.

So completely unqualified people, gotcha.

Well the bars kind of need to have a particular bit of strength to prevent prisoners from taking over the place.

The prison camp isn’t where they want to hold them. It’s the Guantanamo Bay’s Migrant Operations Center where they want to hold them. It suffers the same issues at Alcatraz, so either way they want to slice the bread here, they have to go through a set of hoops to get it to any kind of position to hold long term prisoners.

Things that won’t happen.

The salt from the ocean has corroded the bars, a good kick likely would open the windows. To secure the place would take years of rework or just outright tear down and rebuild.

The place hasn’t had proper upkeep since the late 1960s and honestly very likely before then too. It wouldn’t serve to secure anyone that various places out in the Midwestern desert regions wouldn’t do multiple times better.

Wants to stop mRNA. Which interestingly is being tested to cure AIDS, types of cancers, and other diseases.

All those wacks who thought that big pharma didn’t want to develop cures for these diseases, and the reality is it’s one of the wacks that didn’t want these cures.

How ironic.

The first wave of COVID deaths were clearly not enough.

Trump hates transparency. Hey Jeffrey, how’s that’s “donation” working for you?

Right? The group he’s threatening is likely to have plenty who can pass with flying colors.

there could be almost 10 million borrowers in default in a few months

That’s not a small amount. That’s fucking with economic outlook levels.

As for their program to “guide” folks to repayment, I mean you might as well tell them that they’re indentured servants at this point. Bully tactics are not going to work in an economy where it does not matter how much or little credit you have.

And I highly doubt this administration has any kinds of plans to gentle get folks back to repayment. I fully expect, “pay your loans or we will make you a slave for the rest of your life” to be their go to solution.

There’s a correct manner to handle this, I expect Trump’s administration to fuck it up every step of the way.

The start of the actual effects.

Everyone looking at stock markets and 401(k)s as the effects, but the actual ground level affects they were always going to take at least three to six months to really feel.

And love zero of them.

Vindictive. Turkey feels better about themselves when the person is completely silenced.

Careful with that. As a workaholic who was on this style for a while, I got introduced to a thing called refeeding syndrome while out on travel for the company.

Nothing too terrible in my case, but one moment I was on-site explaining some programmable logic controllers that needed to be installed at site and then next moment I’m waking up in a hospital.

Your body can get really used to one way of doing things that when you shock it in some other direction (like having a big meal with the facility you’re at) it’ll ask you to have a quick nap while it figures out what to do with what you just gave it.
