Billionaire learns interweb.

I like Hyundai as a brand, and generally like the way they look, but I think these will look old very quickly.

I'm not disputing that, but hating him, and actively trying to undermine his candidacy with a leak from your memoirs are two very different things. That's a nutty conspiracy.

Do you really honestly believe that Melania Trump has written a book, scheduled publishing for after the election, but then released these specific comments, in order to undermine her husband's election chances? That's pretty much a nutty conspiracy IMO.

Nonsense. She may hate him bit she sure as shit wants him to be pres. Why do you think she releasedbthis information at this time?

Maybe they say to someone more knowledgeable, "well I would vote for trump but he doesn't support abortion rights", and now a devout trump supporter can respond "well that's not really true, his wife is a strong supporter of abortion rights, I'm sure trump is too, it's just that he has to keep the rest of the party happy. You'll see once he's president"

in the same way they hear about anything else.

Low information voters who feel guilty about voting for trump because of women's rights.

You're not one of the idiots who's vote they're trying to win.

Nah the campaign has released this prior to the book release because they think it makes trump look more balanced on women's rights.

Remember, they're not trying to win your vote, but "low information" swing voters who will decide who to vote for based on whatever meme they happen to remember.

Let's not look too deeply.

Someone's contacted her saying they'll give her a few million if she let's them write some bullshit memoirs.

No one has cared about the insignificant experiences of this vapid bimbo since she progressed from lamb to mutton, so the book needs some controversial opinions or it just won't sell.

I suspect that someone thinks this will make Trump seem more balanced on women's rights which is why they've leaked this prior to the book release.

Yeah, I've never thought that far in to it.

I guess I just think it's a way to "tease" someone without the target of the joke being them. Like, lets all laugh about what an idiot dad is, instead of lets all laugh about what an idiot this kid is.

When I was a kid uncles, siblings, and yeah parents, "teased" us by making mildly humiliating comments about which we would all laugh in a good natured hearty way. As in "fine_sandy_bottom is too short, we'll have to put sheep poo in his boots to help him grow quicker". Maybe it's just teasing, maybe it's a shitty thing to say to a child.

Playing "dad is an embarrassing idiot" doesn't have that ambiguity.

To me, post-truth doesn't really mean "everyone lies all the time", rather it means that on contentious issues, there is no single perspective or narrative universally accepted as "the truth".

In 2024, facts and information is so readily available that its possible to find "facts" to support whatever perspective or position you want, even disingenuously.

Just a few decades ago, facts and information came from news papers and the evening news on TV. There was no "choose your own adventure" nonsense.

That doesn't really have much to do with trump and Vance, they just plain lie all the time and their voters don't care, because they're "low information" voters. That's not really what posy truth is about IMO.

My kids are just toddlers but I'm so pumped to embarrass them with dad-attempts-cool-talk.

Oh man. I had blocked that sub. Silly me.

Thanks for the assist!

In Thailand they ban the major progressive party after nearly every election. Usually they've already formed another party even before the ban comes down. Often the party leaders are excluded but it doesn't achieve much and creates the perception that they're persecuted.

Can someone link me the VP debate discussion thread?

I wonder if maybe me or my home instance is banned from that community.

This is the answer.

Also what types of employers. Large companies vs small business.

So they pretended to show up with supplies but it was just lies and no supp.

This isn't really what OP is talking about.

We really can't see very well at all outside of the centre of our focus. this paper says 6 degrees, I heard this as a coin held at arms length.

Our minds "render" most of the rest of what we think we see.

You're right that we discard most of our sensory inputs, but with visual inputs there's much less data than it appears.
