comment: And it was a "brown" Iraqi who got killed you fools. So stop the racism crap. Islam is the devil.

comment: You’re a cunt. They should ban Christianity too by your dumb fuck “logic”

comment: Only a small minded person would act like the “devil” is real and to be feared. What are you, a stupid fucking toddler? The devil? Fuck off with your myth

comment: The ONLY correct response to a murder is a murder charge. Banning a religion because some zealot did a stupid thing? Take a number bitch.

comment: Don’t even bother calling me an apologist. I’m NOT.

comment: Yes you're a fucking Islam apologist, mono. Every time.

comment: Nobody has been killed for burning the Bible or drawing Jesus in ages. And it's them (Muslims) in our secular countries. So fuck you Islam apologists.

President Trump has issued a directive to eliminate gender ideology from federal government communications, which includes removing pronoun options from email signatures. Federal agencies were instructed to comply with this policy by 5 PM today. The order also involves terminating contracts and reviewing employee roles related to gender ideology, though specific details on penalties for non-compliance are unclear.

How the hell am I going to get home? Car towed!

Then I remembered that I parked my car in a garage. They had the keys.

 Chatbot Software Begins to Face Fundamental Limitations

Recent results show that large language models struggle with compositional tasks, suggesting a hard limit to their abilities.

n December 17, 1962,  Life International published a logic puzzle(opens a new tab) consisting of 15 sentences describing five houses on a street. Each sentence was a clue, such as “The Englishman lives in the red house” or “Milk is drunk in the middle house.” Each house was a different color, with inhabitants of different nationalities, who owned different pets, and so on. The story’s headline asked: “Who Owns the Zebra?” Problems like this one have proved to be a measure of the abilities — limitations, actually — of today’s machine learning models.

 It's been over a week, but since I'm here...

Shared a sample idea with a friend that makes beats, next morning he sends me a track, in the same style music that I make, changes the sample a bit (same words different voice).

Perplexed, I give him the benefit of the doubt and said, "Sounds like its on its way to dopeness, when are we going to work on it?"

He replied, "It's done, your sample was wack, you're too busy with your family, you couldn't have done this."

I told him that's the kind of shit Zuckerberg said when he stole facebook and then I laughed in his fucking face.

He always comes across like he defines what's cool... then steals my shit and says I'm the one overreacting. Tbh, the sample/song is great, and its' fun, but dang, to lose a friend over this kinda shit is just depressing.

comment: I talked with a Detroit Techno artist here and I was like... does it really matter who you sample... I mean ravers sampled Ronald Reagan and who else knows who.

comment: He was like... well as long as there isn't any baggage with the person, ya know, like sampling Bill Cosby and R Kelly might not fly these days...

comment: Make the track you had in mind, don't worry about people who don't worry about you

comment: I just thought his whole perspective was crazy - I'm going to steal your idea because the person you sampled is mainstream. That's just some bold shit.

 How long do you think the tariffs will last? Anyone taking bets?

What we know:
1) Trump wanted to scrap NAFTA in his first term

2) Trump does not have unilateral power to scrap NAFTA

3) As a result, Trump entered into renegotiations with Canada and Mexico

4) NAFTA renegotiated and called USMCA

5) Trump FAILED to get what he wanted in the negotiations

6) The legal loophole for Trump to claim the tariffs are related to a national emergency: fentanyl crisis.

7) China is the source of raw fentanyl materials, Mexico buys and processes them. So why no new tariffs on China, amiright?

8) Canada has a housing bubble that may not withstand a prolonged trade war.

9) Canada’s leverage is selling oil. Will the oil go elsewhere?

So the billion dollar question: Will Trump’s tariffs result in China procuring a new source for affordable oil? Is China going to be the HUuuuGe winner here?

 From Reddit:

I kinda fell down a rabbit hole, but there honestly seems to be a ridiculous amount of Nazi references with Musk beyond the freakin salute. 88, is used constantly by Musk in everything, and is a fascist number reference to Hitler. He insisted the Tesla market their cars for 88,000 dollars. Made a post a year or two back asking "what will the earth be like in 88 million years" (November 6, 2022 Twitter), the cars were originally in his insistence had 88kw batteries, has currently changed obviously, but was asked by him for the engineers and in the first marketing of the Model Y. Cars all still have 88 voice functions. Tesla recommends driving at 88km/h to charging at 88 ports.

https://www.flyingpenguin.com/?p…

The original date announced by Musk to unveil the Robotaxi 8/8.

"X" is also ASCII code for "88", essentially meming his social media company, son, and space exploration and communication company after it.

https://www.ascii-code.com/88#:~….

He has a Nazi grandfather, Joshua Haldeman, who supported posting "The Elder Protocols of Zion", and moved to South Africa because it was the last "great white Christian civilization".

https://www.newyorker.com/news/d…

Musk is throwing hardcore support into the AfD which had a ranking member of the party last year arrested for making the Nazi salute.

Ivana Trump in a 1990 Interview states Donald Trump kept Hitlers speeches next to his bed in a book.

Fred Trump, was a well known Nazi sympathizer in WW2.

I thought this was a conspiracy sub, and can't be the only person seeing this shit everywhere and we are pretending it's not happening.

Musk wants Greenland for AI data centers. The death of Sachir Balaji, AI whistleblower for a company that Musk helped found and was on the board of. He used it as a large blow publicly for Altman, and there is circumstancially odd things about it, but it was very odd to see not even a month later Altman sharing the stage with Musk, and Trump recently promoting their plans for AI expansion. Don't know if anything is really here, but think its why Greenland is important to for tons of open land for server space for AI. Have theories here, but nothing that isn't speculative. But if Musk is in control of that it will have the potential to control the attention and information economy through chat bots and fake accounts.

Executive orders from Trump granting Musk privilege to all unclassified data, and remember this is a guy that can classify things with his mind:

https://futurism.com/the-byte/el…

Musk is named after a Nazi scientists sci-fi novel, where the ruler of Mars was called "the Elon"

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/…)

Apologies...I know I sound and feel schizophrenic listing all dates and numbers, but trying to be as thorough as possible for fact checking. Will continue to add, as this list isn't comprehensive of connections with the new admin.

Would really love some thoughts on all of this, as it honestly makes me feel completely insane that there is this much but every time we say Nazi or Fascist in the media, and a lot of subreddits you get bucked back for being an alarmist. The Salute was to further desensitize us from all of the little hints, we are labeled alarmists, and the media moves on. Don't call them Nazis! I know it was a party that some people get really bent out of shape about not categorizing them into their proper sub hate group, and will ask those to bear with me.

Please share if you want or research it yourself and can use any of this, more people to talk about it means we can stop accepting bullshit cop outs when they at least wave it in our faces.

Adding an article of Germanys AfD connections, it's a pretty long list of politicians:

https://www.dw.com/overlay/media…

Elon speaking on cultural purity, pretty subtle but the Italian crowd seemed to understand what he was saying

Musk insists first plane fixed with starklink be a Boeing 777.

Afrikaner Weerstandsbeweging The Afrikaner Resistance Movement (Afrikaner Weerstandsbeweging, AWB), a Boer-nationalist, neo-Nazi, and white supremacist movement in South Africa, used the number 777 as part of their emblem.

The number refers to a triumph of "God's number" 7 over the Devil's number 666. On the AWB flag, the numbers are arranged in a triskelion shape, resembling the Nazi Swastika.

Eric Trump made a post last night that sounded very fascist that he deleted in 20 minutes, it began saying "the golden age is upon us". The Weimar Golden Age was a period of hyperinflation in Germany that was used to introduce a new currency to the German public. This sounds very familiar with Trumps new turn to crypto. It led to a lot of economic hardship that led to increase extremist views

https://alphahistory.com/weimarr…

At this point I feel like I'm trapped in the simulation game on Rick N Morty, except I can't get out until I figure out it's a Nazi takeover.

 "Donald Trump has reiterated his suggestion that Canada should become the 51st state of the United States, this time linking it to his tariff policy.

This follows his administration's recent imposition of tariffs on several countries, including Canada, with Trump arguing that these economic measures are justified despite potential short-term 'pain.' Trump's proposal seems more aligned with leveraging trade negotiations rather than a literal intent to incorporate Canada into the U.S., reflecting ongoing trade tensions."

 I don't think Trump is trying to push Canada and Mexico to do anything in particular. He has said many times that he wants an economy run off tariffs and even talks about replacing the income tax with tariff revenues.

Replacing the income tax is obviously not realistic but tariffs will give Trump at least some money he can use to pay for the extension of his tax cuts.

So if you live in Canada or Mexico you have to consider the possibility that the 25% tariff will be permanent and there's nothing you can do about it.

comment: Isolationism doesn't work. His policies are terrible, just a bully at this point and a lot of regular people will suffer. Oh wait, he doesn't care about those

 Canada unveils full list of products covered by first round of tariffs

Canadian Finance Minister Dominic LeBlanc on Sunday unveiled the full list of items covered by tariffs on $30 billion worth of US goods, the first phase of Canada’s response to US tariffs.

The items include American produce, alcohol, apparel, household appliances, tools, firearms and more.

Canada’s tariffs come in retaliation after US President Donald Trump on Saturday announced sweeping levies on Canada, Mexico and China.

Items on the tariff list include:

• Fruits and vegetables
•Dairy products such as yogurt, milk and cheese
• Coffee and tea
•Clothing including gloves, scarves, footwear and suits
• Alcohol such as wine, vermouth and beer
• Toilet paper
• Various household items:
    • such as utensils
    • refrigerators and water heaters

comment: According to Canada, it’s about 1% of opioid smuggling. So not a lot. Migration very limited, and Canada spent a billion USD on add’l border security.

comment: The reason Trump needs to use the drugs+immigration excuse is that the three countries are bound by the USMCA trade agreement.

comment: He has no legal way to get around the agreement long-term, but can use the borders as a kind of “emergency measures” excuse.

comment: It’s all a sham. Safe to say that near-zero amounts of fentanyl is being made in Canada for US sale. Might actually be zero.

 Every job I’ve had in NYC was gotten by cold-applying on LinkedIn. That said, it’s a different time we’re living in.

Suggestions:

1. LinkedIn profile is as important as your portfolio, and much easier to curate. Read an article about how to optimize your LinkedIn profile, and do it. Even the hard part.  (Don’t shoot the messenger, I didnt invent LinkedIn.)  The LI algorithm is so basic and corny, figure it out and use that to your advantage.

2. Talk to as many people as you can. Network hard! Most people are being referred.

3. Talk to recruiters. Remember that recruiters are also looking for new, good talent to present to their clients. Listen to their advice, and when you get a sense that you’ve found a good recruiter, cultivate that relationship. Treat them like gold, because they are. Don’t treat the good ones like a commodity. It will pay off eventually.

4. Make your portfolio presentation literally better than every single other person. Be the absolute best, and they can’t ignore you forever.

5. Expect rejection from hundreds of applications. Just get used to it. If you get a call back, know that you’ve crossed the biggest hurdle so don’t squander the interview process.  Be your best.

comment: < all I see a wall of text that everybody will forget in a week There is no plan, deadline, just some words :))

comment: Canada had already committed to the billion dollar border plan. Everything else is fluff. But I guess his dumb followers won’t know the distinction.

comment: "If you think Trump or the government of Canada are going to do anything about money laundering..." oh well. Might as well just give up then.

comment: shopping bags containing  millions of dollars? so dumb.

comment: So el chaps isn't bothering with making fentanyl in Mexico or directly in the US with his thousands of drug labs but instead is going up to Canada just to expor

comment: export it back into the US? cool story broski

comment: No evidence except for linking to articles of the cases involving drug and criminal busts. Got it.

comment: if Canada is producing half a billion worth of fentanyl and meth then Mexico is producing  10 billion and the US itself is producing 100 billion

comment: the point is whatever little makes it over the northern border pales in comparison to what comes from the south and what came from within

comment: ... and 100k+ American die every year. Probably similar in Canada. That’s war. The embarrassing part is that government has barely done anything to stop it.
