Aneristic Illusions / Re: The Republicult™ On Parade
Last post by Faust - November 16, 2025, 08:14:57 PMI've been taking a look at conservative spaces because I'm interested to see what their opinion of the last year has been like and I've come to a realisation, they are divided on a lot of issues, critical of things like the tarrifs or this 2000 rebate they are planning.
The thing is they are willing to compromise as long as some or most of their issues are addressed.
The left with its ever tightening purity tests or moral outrage instead of criticism of their own parties never stood a chance in the last election, and it won't in the next either unless it takes a mature approach to selecting and supporting a candidate

As per this article:
"Tech firms are pouring massive sums into physical AI, and Morgan Stanley predicts the world could have more than a billion humanoid robots by 2050."
It looking like the Model T-800 series will soon be available for Skynet's future use.

As per this article:
"Paul Ingrassia, the Trump administration official who allegedly sent a series of racist and antisemitic texts, moves into a new role as deputy general counsel at the General Services Administration after withdrawing his nomination to lead the Special Counsel office. Dana Bash and the plugged-in political reporters on "Inside Politics" discuss."
Well ... it is, after all, the Turd Reich.

Trump-Epstein 'Best Friends Forever' Statue Reappears In DC After Bombshell Emails
Anonymous activists are back with their statue, which the Trump administration previously damaged, to satirically honor the men's "long-lasting bond."
And, the timing couldn't be better. It's hard to keep a good resistance down.

Last post by Abbot Mythos - November 13, 2025, 02:30:46 PMThis battle is over. The Greedy Oligarchy Party (GOP) won.
There will be more skirmishes between now and Tuesday, November 3rd, 2026. But, that's the must-win battle (MWB) to save our republic. This war is not over.

Last post by Abbot Mythos - November 13, 2025, 12:25:58 AMI believe this is one of the better articles about why the Dems caved, and permitted The Big Beautiful 2025 US Government Shutdown to end with a whimper:
Why Democrats Finally Caved In The Government Shutdown Fight
Donald Trump was willing to make millions of people suffer. Democrats didn't have the stomach for it.
As per this article:
"Democrats walked away with the promise of a symbolic vote on health care that's almost certain to fail, no extension for enhanced subsidies for people enrolled in the Affordable Care Act, and no guardrails to stop Trump from ignoring the law and withholding more funds passed by Congress. Their hope now is to count on a public backlash to Trump's ruthlessness next November."
Now, a lot can happen between now and January 30, 2026, when another continuing resolution (CR) must be approved to fund our government. But, I agree. Unless the "public backlash to Trump" is at Category 5/DEFCON 2 by then, I do not expect the Dems to force another shutdown.
And so, as of right now, it appears that the Dems only "strategy" is to attempt to encourage a substantial majority of Americans to vote in their own best interests on Tuesday, November 3rd, 2026.

If you do not include Southern Arizona, there will be war.

yes, I can't see that being a good thing for Republicans. A lot of people are not going to have medical insurance now, and any of them that have been paying attention will know that's the Republicans fault.

Last post by Abbot Mythos - November 12, 2025, 01:47:08 AMUBCO study debunks the idea that the universe is a computer simulation
"New study uses logic and physics to definitively answer one of science's biggest questions"
As per this study:
"The research hinges on a fascinating property of reality itself. Modern physics has moved far beyond Newton's tangible "stuff" bouncing around in space. Einstein's theory of relativity replaced Newtonian mechanics. Quantum mechanics transformed our understanding again. Today's cutting-edge theory—quantum gravity—suggests that even space and time aren't fundamental. They emerge from something deeper: pure information.
This information exists in what physicists call a Platonic realm—a mathematical foundation more real than the physical universe we experience. It's from this realm that space and time themselves emerge.
Here's where it gets interesting. The team demonstrated that even this information-based foundation cannot fully describe reality using computation alone. They used powerful mathematical theorems—including Gödel's incompleteness theorem—to prove that a complete and consistent description of everything requires what they call "non-algorithmic understanding.""
Well, alrighty then. I'm glad we finally got that out of the way.
