I am disgusted!

Sounds delish, babes.

The difficulty for him lately has been that when we've reverted to being too deep and too slow on the ball, when we do finally get it to him, it's far up the pitch and the other team is massed in defence, so he is up against a full-back and a covering midfielder or CB and there's no one to square it to even if can beat them. When do get up the pitch quickly, it's usually because Fellows has carried it past a player or two, something Manning can't do on Scienza's side. The next pass from Fellows is invariably to Azaz, Armstrong or a CM and it never gets to Scienza when the other team is out of position.

Yeah, but how long does that process take? And would it be allowed to happen? There's no way a MAGA government would let California secede, given how many of his backers/advisers are technically folk and the potential strategic importance of AI. It feels as though America is properly fucked now.

Do you think election results will be respected? I don’t think so.

If I was a country with important natural resources, I think I would be doing my best to develop nukes as quickly as possible.

Hugo Chavez was speaking about this in 2006. He was saying he had been tipped off that the US would accuse him, personally, of being a drug trafficker and have him snatched.

I see one of the indictments against Maduro is "possession of machine guns". Crazy stuff.

Here's one Nic can defo laugh at. If you take this picture: and ask Musk's AI to remove the paedo, the prostitute and the racist, you get this:

They paid a Premier League price. Unless we get back in the Prem there is little incentive to sell. If revenues drop sharply they will look to cut costs, before looking to sell. I mean, yeah, maybe in an extreme scenario they decide to cut their losses, but I can't see that happening unless we are essentially insolvent.

Maybe there was an element of luck at Brentford. Maybe an element of bad luck here. There are so, SOOO, many variables that it is retarded to think that he found some top strategy that was a differentiator. People make this mistake all the time in life, business, etc. "Well, this worked, so it must be a good plan" is not sound logic at an individual level in complex systems with huge, unmanageable variables. People make the same mistake when they look at billionaires and say, "what 'x' did must be a recipe for success". Doubt it, mate! 'x' is probably a developmentally stunted, weirdo who had an almost pathological obsession with something and pursued it in ways which were quite destructive. For every successful 'x' there are 99 utter losers. If anything, it's likely a recipe for failure, not success. In summary, he's not as clever as he thinks he is.

What's funny, Nic? What aspects of Thiel and Musk's behaviour do you think contradicts this thesis? What part of Trump's political vision do you think stands in contrast?
