He’s angry he got caught being the piece of shit that he is. To him the problem is that the truth came out

Except he does feel humiliation and I think he feels it more intense than most. I’m not a psychologist but it appears to me as one of his main motivations to do something. Because deep down he’s a deeply insecure little shit and all this strong man stuff is just a facade he puts up.

I would argue humiliation is what he fears above all else and that makes him lash out even stronger.

During his first term I watched him cry at a sports match because the whole stadium booed him.

Days without Trump doing something that will take decades to fix: 0

Days with meaningful consequences for his actions: 0

Even a fat, disgusting, beady eyed, selfish, worthless excuse for a clock is right twice a day I guess.

The thing I hate most about Ford is that he can be genuinely likable and relatable at times. Sort of like George Bush Jr, he’s got a non-threatening “I’d sit down and have a beer and chat with him” charisma. It makes it really hard to imagine that he’ll ever lose an election or face any resistance to his policies, even though he is one of the most corrupt and directly threatening premiers in living memory. He is quietly dismantling and privatizing everything about Canada’s largest province and mortgaging its future to cash out for his cronies while keeping the masses distracted and on his side by relaxing regulations and alcohol policies and performative trade rhetoric.

And it makes me angry how amazingly well it works. We get so excited about the unimportant stuff he does because it’s simple and fits in a tweet, and we don’t have the time or energy or context to try to understand the important stuff where he’s intentionally breaking things and stealing from us because it’s complex and convoluted.

There was also the time he swallowed the bee

He also liked jelly beans. So that’s two things in common I guess.

I appreciate that you tried to sound it out but unfortunately his name is in English so sounding it out doesn’t work :(

For context the original spelling in the post was Raygun ;)

No actually Raegan, English is fun.

Reagan*

You lost that battle in about 2004 unfortunately

I wrote a similar reply to this post before I saw yours.

I DESPISE this kind of perspective-isolating, emotion-validating, reinforced fantasy world that media has created. The article has zero content, it just repeats the taglines content of more reputable news sites but throws it in among about 3 million ads and slaps a fantasy-world headline on it to make people think we’re winning some points against the literal most powerful people on Earth who are celebrating their victories every day.

Fuck this kind of clickbait, fuck people who post it. Sorry OP.

Just wait until Gen z and Gen alpha grows up and becomes the journalists.

No, and this article is bullshit invented to pander to people who want to see Trump humiliated. It’s fantasy, it’s lying. It’s lying to viewers for money and ads and clicks.

Yeah, but we need copium and jumping off points for online snarking

The fact checkers are clearly radical leftist antifa and they are lying /s

Yes, Trump doesn’t give a shit – and people get all hot and bothered thinking they can assassinate him with words

Look at the upvotes on this one. Embarrassing that so many lemmings jumped on this.

Let me spell it out y’all: Trump has narcissistic personality disorder. He is not capable of being wrong, let alone humiliated. He doesn’t give two flying fucks what anyone says or thinks, to him, the ad was faked. End of story. He is not able to believe otherwise.

“The party told you to reject the evidence of your eyes and ears. It was their final, most essential command.”

Kind of like his he’s saying Democrats are holding up the government from opening and the media even the local media just trots that out as fact.

Lying… If it didn’t ain’t broke, don’t fix it.

Thanks Obama…

Shall we play a game?

From chatgpt-

Prompt: What is a very rough ballpark figure of how long it would take a Symbolics 3600 to process this request on you?

That’s a fascinating question — and quite a big gap in computing history!

Let’s estimate very roughly:

1. Symbolics 3600 performance

Released around 1983.

Based on a 10 MHz 68000-series CPU with extensive microcode for Lisp operations.

Effective performance: roughly 1 MIPS (1 million instructions per second), though Lisp code was often slower due to dynamic typing and garbage collection.

Floating-point and memory bandwidth were also very limited — on the order of kilobytes per microsecond.

1. This request

Let’s say your request (this chat exchange) takes me — a large language model with billions of parameters — maybe a few hundred billion floating-point operations (FLOPs) to process. For perspective, a modern GPU (like an NVIDIA A100) can do around 10¹⁵ FLOPs per second (1 petaFLOP) for AI workloads.

1. Comparison

If we very loosely assume:

Symbolics 3600: ~1 MFLOP (10⁶ FLOPs/sec, being generous)

Modern GPU: ~10¹⁵ FLOPs/sec

That’s a factor of 10⁹ difference.

So if a modern GPU takes about 0.1 s to process your request, then the Symbolics 3600 would take:

0.1 s × 10⁹ = 10⁸ s ≈ 3 years

And that’s if it could even hold the model in memory, which it couldn’t — it had only a few megabytes of RAM, versus the hundreds of gigabytes (or terabytes) needed.

It is impossible to feel shame, when you’re never wrong in your own mind. I would know, I was raised by narcissists.

I dont think thats true, pride is required, humility is a (possoble) result.

Yeah he’s just angry they aren’t bending the knee. This isn’t shame. He can’t feel shame.

I’ve seen it applied to quite a few crude Photoshops already.

“someone hacked my account”

I think the real meaning is closer to “Me no like!”

He’s never felt humiliation in his life. He doesn’t understand it.

…and if there’s a danger he might, there is a plenty of former entertainment industry personnel to give him a rim job, so he can feel like a king again.

Figure of speech. It is often said on a person’s behalf that someone was humiliated by something, regardless of how the person actually felt about it.

I’ve always interpreted the word both intransitively and transitively. No, he does not feel humiliation. He only cares about himself. However, he may have been humiliated from the perspective of the people who explained his mistake to him.

I read that the older you get the less you feel embarrassment.

I don’t think that he Can give a fuck at this point…

Have you been paying any attention? There’s home homegrown fascists here with a love for the us. Maybe we need to clean up our own shit before we just blame the us

Okay, but what if I told you they only took it down because a Canadian plutocrat didn’t like it?

Would that be better?

It was running in the US. The target demographic does not live in Canada.
