No, most of this is untrue. Ex Presidents can refuse secret service detail. They are allowed to drive on public roads - that is a secret service rule that they can’t but it’s not against the law and Presidents don’t have to follow those rules. And they are allowed to live outside the US if a host country allows them.
That 11x election cycles with at least one of three last names on the ballot is only a record tie.
We had John Adams x4, George Clinton x2, DeWitt Clinton x1, James Monroe x2, John Quincy Adams x2 also a total of 11x.
Roosevelts were on the ballot 8x election cycles but the gap years screwed them. And they were close to uniting with the Nixon 5x streak also with some gaps. And then after one cycle right into the Bush Sr streak. If things shook out just a bit different there was a 19x streak in the cards.
Open AI has a projected revenue of 3 Billion this year.
It is currently projected to burn 8 Billion on training costs this year.
Now it needs 5 Gigawatt data centers worth over 100 Billion.
And new fabs worth 7 Trillion to supply all the chips.
I get that it’s trying to dominate a new market but that’s ludicrous. And even with everything so far they haven’t really pulled far ahead of competing models like Claude and Gemini who are also training like crazy.
Depends on what you do. Plenty of people only have to walk from car door to heated building so crappy winter clothes isn’t a huge deal. There are those people that wear shorts year round based on that principle.
Yeah people are really sleeping on the “Cheat the election or try to start a civil war” possibilities.
I can admit I delay work more from home than I did when I was at the office. I do about the same amount overall I just don’t get around to it as quickly.
But the company I’m with would also have to pay me 20-30% more to go into the office as I have better offers for that already and I’d still probably just hop to another company that lets me work from home for a similar salary.
People in this thread don’t seem to understand how anti big business the FTC has been since Lina Khan was appointed. These reports are meant to be used by congress to help guide real policy. It’s one thing to just assume social media is violating privacy, it’s another thing to have a facts-based report on exactly what is currently happening.
Of course the FTC needs new laws to do any enforcement and there’s probably not enough anti corporation politicians to pass laws that give them real teeth on data privacy issues.

The same thing as layoffs and downsizing but you only lose the people who are really good at what they do and can get jobs easily elsewhere. What a brilliant idea.
I’m doing my part by writing really shitty foss projects for AI to steal and train on.
And yet MAGA idiots still believe it’s true regardless of this retraction. There’s some random US citizen from Canton, Ohio named Allexis Ferrell who is in jail for eating a cat that they are using to justify these false claims even though she has absolutely no relation to Haitian immigrants in Springfield
On twitter yesterday I saw some MAGA people discussing that she was “right” but it’s bad optics for the more moderate republicans so she should be distanced until after the election. They accept her.
I wish some sports journalists I follow would move off twitter so I could drop it completely.
I checked twitter. Generally they think Trump won. They also think the moderators were a Harris’ team and it was 3 vs 1. They think he owned her with the “I’m talking now” line. There’s also a conspiracy theory that Harris was wearing earrings with speakers in them.
But no debate was going to change the mind of people already in the maga cult anyway.
For ‘undecided’ voters I’ve seen this didn’t move the needle much but Harris was slightly ahead.
The biggest win is probably for already dem leaning voters being more excited to get out and vote rather than not voting - especially with Taylor Swift encouraging them to register and vote now.
We don’t have to guess, they tried. 50 is enough if you can get 50…on these issues the dems couldn’t get 50 even when they had the house. Guess which two senators opposed filibuster reform? Guess which two senators also very publicly stated they wouldn’t vote for packing the supreme court?
You’re really trying to strawman me and aren’t making good faith arguments here so I’m not going to waste too much time on a response… but take 51 and then subtract 2 from it (for Manchin and Sinema who won’t vote with dems on these issues) - is that 50? Besides that dems also don’t control the house.
This is literally AOC trying to impeach them, which isn’t going to be successful in a republican controlled house anyway. It’s more just for principle and show.
Court packing isn’t really an option right now for the same reason…if dems get firm control of the house and senate then it would be possible. For those who don’t know Manchin and Sinema are two “democratic” senators who won’t abolish filibuster or expand the supreme court so the current 51 - 49 democrat control of the senate isn’t real control either.
They literally ruled that “gratuities” (what most people would call bribes) are not a crime. Of course they’re taking all the “gratuities” they can get the corrupt mfers.
Mods could just make a filter to remove everything new anyway. The concept of mods being unpaid volunteers means they get to fuck with reddit if they really want. They already had that issue with some subs just starting to allow porn during the first api protest. Sure reddit can just churn through to newer friendlier mods like the first time but they’re not going to be able to crush all the dissent and drama from moves like that.
But actually I think reddit has a bigger problem than protests. They tweaked their algorithm recently and it is going the way of facebook now, I’ve been getting 0 upvote day-old posts shown to me. They’re probably getting more engagement but I don’t think redditors are going to put up with that level of enshittification as easily as other social media where people are locked in by friends and followers.
