You can’t have a debate with a fake person. A debate is an attempt to clarify the truth and have both sides accept a common truth.

All you can do with fake people are argue with them. In an argument there are no facts, there is only dominance. The argument is to determine who is in control and that is the only relevant fact.

Attempting to talk to these fake people using the truth never works for the exact reasons Sartre detested his own fake people of the time; the very fact that you try to use the truth and be reasonable is proof that you are not in control and may be manipulated or injured as the fake one wishes.

The best thing to do is isolate the predators and force them to feed upon one another.

You sound like someone who would be more valuable to the state as a prisoner anyway! That’s in no way an insult.

I think the big issue is that it was a culture question masquerading as a technology question. The interviewer was looking for a collection of the same kinds of prejudices that they themselves hold without critical thought, not someone willing to actually engage with the work required to accomplish the stated goals of the job.

This attitude is fundamentally pervasive.

This is complete American liquidation. The obvious intent is to leave nothing left over by the time the Epstein regime runs out of steam. It’s a great plan if your plan for the future is for the united states to not have a future.

I quit four years ago. Before I could bring myself to throw out my booze I would stomp around and yell at it like it was the fault of the liquid for being so yummy. For several years I had dreams in which I was enjoying a beer or a whiskey of some kind, then realized with horror that I was not supposed to be drinking and had ruined all my progress by being thoughtless, but then I would wake up and feel such a huge amount of relief sometimes I had to make sure it wasn’t a real shameful memory of some kind. Yesterday I broke an egg in my coat pocket while bringing it in from the coop and I joked to my wife that my coat was now just a couple ingredients short of a whiskey sour. Then I could not stop imagining the flavor of a whiskey sour with the feel of alcohol and feeling completely nauseated for a good ten minutes after.

Spent twenty years sucking it down but I broke free. Now I don’t care about the price of booze or my supply of it, I don’t get annoyed when I’m the only one with a beer at a party. No more over-doing it and being useless all afternoon. No more $25 stadium beers! No more bottles of ‘apple juice’. Vodka in a water bottle to enjoy the fair. All in the bin, all long gone. I wouldn’t even be thinking about it now if I hadn’t broken the egg and made that joke.

Intentional population reduction.

Hey that’s really good

Offer a nice bounty on them for the unhoused. Can’t knock on your door if you don’t have a door! If some of the parts inside are valuable enough to make the endeavor self sustaining then it’s simply a case of successful morally appropriate civil disobedience.

I don’t see what would stop a state like California from arbitrarily legalizing BYD vehicles just like they did with weed. The current admin has already used up most of the soft leverage actions it has available just to be pissy and ‘they imported China cars!’ would make for a particularly eye-rolling casus belli for the civil war they intend to instigate.
