When you are talking about a survey, the “how far” is specific to each person. So it is a bad question. But no matter how Donny interprets it, the answer to the “have they gone too far” tells you Donnys interpretation is too far for the majority.

I am going to go out on a limb and guess your sister is religous. If not, than she falls into the 10 to 15% who voted for him because they gain something. I had a contractor who turned out to be the same. All he cared about was voting for whoever was better for his wallet. Lower taxes mean more money for him. He even had a slip of paper in his pocket with the values of a stock market index before and after trump. He proudly claimed that is why he would vote for trump.
But my best friends brother in law is a vet, and he is very pro trump. He simply has been duped. He honestly believes that all the negative news about trump is fake news. That it is the establishment trying to smear trump while he fights for the little guy. He is not brilliant, but he is an adult, and he even served his country. But he fell victim to the lies and the propaganda.
For each one like my one time contractor, I know 4 more like my best friends brother in law.
But we aren’t talking about everyone. Trump got less than 50%, 10 to 15% voted for him because they were greedy, and he was good for them. 35 to 40% are just to gullible. It is them I find it hard to completely blame.
But should you really? Watch the john oliver bit about online gambling. You end up with one person against an army of experts trying to manipulate them into making a bad decision. When do we decide that it’s just not fair for a lot of people, and they really had no chance.
The thing I disagree with is the choice part. You are basically saying that people who have been brainwashed should choose to get the help needed to undo the brainwashing that convinced them that only evil people could have been brainwashed and that they are the most virtuous and righteous people to have ever lived. That just doesn’t work, that is why interventions exist.
You need to try to talk to more of these people. There are some who deserve blame, but not nearly as many as you think. Being an adult doesn’t automatically make a person capable of good decisions.
Neither of those links have anything to do with people having a choice to be less gulible. They are just definitions of the words with examples of use. Gullibility is a personal trait, not a choice. You mention accessing proper mental healthcare… good luck in the US. Besides, these people are being fed the line that they aren’t the ones who need help. Not to mention being convinced that the mental health professionals are transition toddler between sexes (which of course they aren’t). So they avoid even seeking the care.
But look at the data. Forvthe most part it is the red states he is hurting the most. They litterally are the victums. Doesn’t stop me from hating them, but I know the blame doesn’t really belong on them. The people who deserve the blame just want us to blame them.
That’s not how gullible works. You don’t have a choice. Evidence doesn’t matter if you are convinced it is fake news. And yes, I have met people who really believed all of that was fake news.
Trump is mostly a pawn really. The people pulling the strings is where the line should be drawn. They know what they are doing is wrong, but do it anyway.
That’s basically victim blaming. You are implying they have a choice to be less gullible? And yeah, it is a large group, the size of it doesn’t really matter. The powers that be are taking advantage of the masses for thier own purposes. And they know they are doing it.
It’s a tough one. Even the people who voted for him are mainly guilty of being gullible. Noone is born maga. They get indoctrinated. The gullible believe it, the rest make up all the stories about family political arguments at holiday dinners…
A lot of people don’t realize how many times the problem they are solving has already been solved. But after being in the industry for 3 decades, very few things people are working on haven’t been done before. They just get put together in different combinations.
As for AI, I have found it decent at wruting one time scripts to gather information I need to make design decisions. And it’s a little quicker when I need to look up a syntax for a language or like a resource name for terraform. But even one off scripts I sometimes have to ask it if a while loop wouldn’t be better and such.
Its not about imminent threat. The “stated” purpose of the strike was to prevent the use of the materials at the site in a bomb. (Nevermind that our own intelligence people said they were still years away originally). But under that goal, cargo trucks could move material to many different locations and make it nearly impossible to keep track of. While there is a lot of BS in there. It’s an argument that can be made.
I’m not saying he did. I am saying it can be argued endlessly in all directions. Which counters the “clearly” impeachable part. And really, he has done much less gray things he could be impeached on. This isn’t going to be the one that makes it happen.
Fortunately, 90% of coding is not hard problems. We write the same crap over and over. How many different creat an account and signin flows do we really need. Yet there seem to be an infinite amount, and each with it’s own bugs.
Sadly, the lack of junior devs means my job is probably safe until I am ready to retire. I have mixed feelings about that. On the one hand, yeah for me. On the other sad for the new grads. And sad for software as a whole. But software truely sucks, and has only been enshitifying worse and worse. Could a shake up like this somehow help that? I don’t see how, but who knows.
To skip congress, all they need is “something” they can use to say it is urgent. And they do have satellite activity showing a bunch of cargo trucks or what not. So they can hang thier hat on that and say it couldn’t wait. That would make it pretty hard to impeach on frankly. So this call is just political theater.
Now as for should we have done it… well I can at least see both sides. Iran has been defiant in it’s continued operation of it nuclear program. And all the “talks” haven’t really done much. The bombing likely does slow them down at least. Of course the other side to that questions what right does the US have to say other countries can research nuclear anything.
So there really everything about this is in the gray area where logical arguments could be made and debated endlessly about.
Do they manufacture them in Ukraine? I always assumed they got them for elsewhere.
Maybe if we stop paying for unfinished games we won’t have to care about the drama the comes before the release. We can just see the finished product. Then we don’t have to guess how crap like this might effect the game.
