Trump's endorsement would matter and her going against his economy and peace record rules that out. She'd need to wreck Trump. Or Trumps wrecks himself. Low probabilities.

Her path probably looks like this: • Elections are still a thing • Trump isn't removed but isn't running • Wars go poorly • Economy goes poorly • She does 20 podcasts/month with Tucker, builds coalition Bonus points if the left grows so anti-american it forgives her (and the Dem nominee isn't AOC).

If Trump doesn't go for the third term, her direct opponent would be Vance. He'd squarely fall to the tech-right, she'd take the populist half. Both would reach for the moderates and a piece of the dems – both would likely be rejected by the dems in disgust.

• Longevous items owned by the consumer Where we enter the depressing realm of the boots theory; as well as fashion, consumerism. Everything (outside of inheritance and sentimental value?) is pushing against this quadrant. But it's the best quadrant to be in.

You could also build the rest of the matrix: • Disposable items for rent, because there's a separation between producers and the renting company, with the renting company buying cheap to prioritise scaling up in short-term. Example – electric scooter and bikeshare piles.

Maybe it was Bibi himself, giving Donald an honest answer to "why don't you stop" in a private conversation. All of that is more plausible than "Trump fucked children on an island with Jeff Epstein and Israel has blackmail (i'm a progressive btw)".
comment in response to post
More likely is that someone has explained to the Donald the regime/personal security problem that may be motivating Bibi to cling to power and warmonger. So Trump's decided to solve it in his own crude way (tweeting the problem until it solves itself somehow).

The owner at least should be allowed to bid on the car. Like a huge fine that's a bit of a gamble.

Is it just me, or did it somehow give you Zuck eyes?

The world's dumbest trade war is kinda over, Trump seems to be slowly warming towards reasonable western allies and souring over Putin and Bibi. Iran-Israel thing is running out of steam, UA-RU war isn't moving much. EU is growing independence. Things still suck, but the dynamics are encouraging.

This is probably about Trump swearing at the press and then Rutte calling him daddy like a collared sub. And similar stuff in general. It's been floating up, Trump has had full twitter brainrot for years and it's now leaking into official language. Medvedev's ravings are an example too.

AI slop a new, more aggressive iteration of the perennial tradition of bullshit. Bullshit is getting cheaper while my rent end expenses are getting more expensive.
comment in response to post
KPI often reward them, since they're serving a like-minded audience. Post-truth is a silent agreement between the bullshitter and bullshitted that neither internal coherence nor correspondence to external facts matter. Users are abandoning search for the magic black box because they don't care.

It's an illusion that this conflict started with the advent of AI. It was always there. I've always found it an uphill battle to sell solutions that care to people who don't. I find it hard to empathise with them, i feel stalemated.

Positively shocked, i presume. Raccoon is an S-tier husband type.

You can achieve stuff with calisthenics (+ home equipment, bands), but it takes more skill, as progressive overload uses movement type progression instead of adding weight. I'm still lifting at the cheap pop gym (the music is a problem but the windows are great). Never hired a trainer in my life.

Another historic bomb drop. Sometimes he does manage to say something true.

Maybe China notices that "do nothing, win" is working surprisingly well and elects to keep doing nothing.

Is this, in some way, an opportunity for Russia to pull moves?

Also, RIP strait of Hormuz? And RIP oil prices? If Iran still has will to retaliate and doesn't just fold and deal.
