My theory: Trump mistook Epstein's blackmailing as bonding.

Trump is so stupid and banally evil, the blackmail just seemed like what true friends would do together for fun. Lacking the fundamental humanity and self-awareness to appreciate his own depravity, he just kept engaging with his blackmailer - freely giving him ever more blackmail material.

Corollary: Epstein is disgusted by Trump in his various communications with others bc Trump was too much a pig at the trough of depravity.

I dont actually think that works anymore. My areas are only tangentional to computer vision, but even I've repurposed a preprocessing algo that would "correct" this and other issues into a usable image for input into facial/body recognition. Since those are built to solve for a variety of issues by "standardizing" unimportant edge cases/extreme values/image noise before training the recognition model, usually when implementing you just apply that to ALL the images/video before "recognizing."

The 'law & order' party hypocritically gave all the badges to criminals, for no benefit nor reason beyond their hatred of real Americans.

I'd ask "What part of the above do you not understand?" except for the fact it has never been understandable why Republicans hate real Americans.

So instead I'll ask "It's nearly 2026, how can you believe laws still apply to Traitor Trump and his co-conspirators?"

Please tell me. I want to know how I could ever believe in America again.

Is it really sabotage if we never consented to being recorded in the first place?

I like to think of it as an especially firm communication of "Do Not Track."

Worse, the algorithms have become just intentionally overcomplicated ways to obfuscate real process: near 100% automatic denials. It is incredibly challenging as individuals to fight them, especially while facing serious illness yourself or of a loved one... and that assumes you have the financial room to do so plus the intelligence and understanding needed to outwit small armies of lawyers, data scientists, and beaurocrats paid with your premiums to design ways to block you.

Scouting ahead increases likelihood caught on the cameras you were locating, and that you'll leave additional breadcrumbs. Routes need to be investigated in complete absence of your phones and any car built in the last ~10-15 years. Changing clothes will likely do less than you think - even minor distinctions in your gait can be identified with AI that we can't see with the human eye.

Not being contrary, just pissed that things have gone so far that common sense ideas no longer work.

^ reads like the character introduction in a story of the right person in the wrong place. I want to read that.

For those curious: He was apparently a high school basketball player, maybe team captain.

Just moved to Nazi Kirk's hometown in Chicagoland Suburbs days before this went down like a violent nazi with a bullet through his throat.

Seems like mixed on his naziism, because Republicans are everywhere, but the death of a local boy also bothers people who werent aware he made his money advocating for child murder. Dueling petitions at his high school for honoring him versus fuck no to that BS.

So what if I am "leftist" or "woke" or "antifascist" or any other thing they hate? Better any name they spew hatred against than one they respect.

They will hate no matter what - hatred defines them. Makes them traitors, liars, bigots, abusers, murderers, more.

They have shown what they love, and I happily embrace its opposition - not its opposite.

Their hatred earns mine in turn. Their crimes incite my own.

Fuck the "high road." They deserve that fucking molotov to the face.

Chuckie did make his money grifting from school shootings.

She's just honoring his own school shooting by following his playbook.

ICE repeatedly assaulted peaceful protestors, including both a local mayor and a candidate for state representative, outside their Chicago-area facility.

ICE are fascist snowflakes-with-guns who can't handle real Americans expressing our freedom of speech.

It is wild how fast their bots downvote. Wonder if I posted with mispellings, if their second-rate bots would still downvote so fast.

My favorite factoid: God originally had a WIFE, a goddess herself who predates Yahweh himself... and even in today's hard-monotheistic Bible her name is STILL there! Apparently arrangements of upright wooden poles marked her places of worship, and her name is used once in the Bible as a non-proper noun for those poles - "Asherah." Name is corroborated elsewhere in Canaanite and related archeological finds - I just think its cool how that slipped through thousands of years of obfuscation.

Reading the Bible for you faith is kinda horrifying. For the same reasons, though, it is a WILD ride reading it as an "historical mystery." Completely conflicting stories poorly interwoven show different propaganda needs of different eras by different groups, incomplete alterations outline the ORIGINAL myths AND real history, etc. The monotheistic Christian god Yahweh reacts strongly against non-existant Baal's bull bc they were both in the storm god niche of the polytheistic Canaanite pantheon

Same, the hypocrisy is so blatant that even as a 6th grader I just walked out of Sunday School and went home. This was before cellphones and I didnt tell anyone, and home was a nontrivial distance across major city roads, so parents were notably unhappy with me "running away." Now in my 40s, my 6th grade assessment has been proven time and again. If they just want an in-group, worship a sports team instead. Attacking others bc they don't pretend to worship the same way you pretend... fuck 'em.

Republicans have gerrymandered so hard, we have no say in their country. So why are we putting up with taxation without representation?

Thats the best definition of Republicans: People with no concept of irony.

And that is actually fine for communicating - the right-wing extremists who are your average republicans succeed because they simplify the messages they use to trigger hate. Responding rationally, correctly, and morally has had a 100% failure rate. So we have to oversimplify EVEN FURTHER if we want to trigger anything besides hate, the easiest of rxn of all. I dont have any answers, but fine by me if everything simplifies to the Reichstag fire. Fundamental truth still "fascist coup succeeded"

Even so-er, if you can operate it with a remote, you can open the enclosure and and replace the remote sensor with a manual button.

The only one young enough to maybe, possibly become something besides a shitbag is Barron - and hes shown no evidence of anything but shitbaggery. The numbers are consistent with a need to end the bloodline. They are so bad, I no longer care to take the high road, to be better than them. Sometimes you really do have to fight fire with fire.

Its not that its exhausted, its that you have vast empathy for many and multitudes of other humans her and her ilk, and those similarly implicated you mention above, have hurt and actively continue to hurt. The empathy you do have for the aggressors just highlights their transgressions go too far, cannot be justified even by the most warped perspectives. Sometimes, the empathetic answer is to excise the aggressor.

Every Republican is a traitor. Every ICE agent an enemy combatant. They committed a coup, but even worse:

Objectively Republicans support ICE kidnapping children into prison camps at the behest of a convicted rapist and known pedophile. And that somehow is the beginning, not the end, of their evil.

Used to argue against people being held to account for everything done by whoever they voted for. That was before Republicans went so far beyond "politics" as to commit literal war crimes.
