Trump 2nd term prediction thread
So, looks like Trump not only smashed the electoral college, but is looking on track to win the popular vote, which seems to be an unexpected turn of events, but a clear sign of the current temperature in the country and perhaps the wider world.
Would be interested to hear views on how his 2nd term will pan out from both sides of the aisle - major happenings, what he's going to get done, what he's not going to get done, the impact of his election on the current conflicts in Ukraine and Gaza, whether his popularity will remain the same, wane, or increase, etc.
A bit of an anemic OP, I know, just interested to hear people's thoughts now that the election uncertainty is over.
that's because 0 - something with no parenthesis is a subtraction, while -5^2 alone is a negative number elevated at the power of 2
In programming there is a clear distinction - one is a unary operator, and one is a binary operator and in some cases -x and 0-x can even sometimes give different results depending on the data type of x (for example, in SQL, if x is a decimal with a precision of more than 4, 0-x will get truncated to 4 decimal places in some versions because 0 gets cast to a decimal 0.0000 and then x gets cast to a decimal of the same precision in order to perform the calculation).
I'm not sure that distinction is as clear cut when you're just talking about writing out formulae in algebraic notation, though. -5 and 0-5 are pretty much the same thing.
re your integral image
That's a fair point.
It's seems wrong for numbers. Still think it is. I may not sleep tonight
There's certainly stuff in googleland that agrees with you.
you don't know he is on team Rufo, RDS, Musk, Vivek, a member of the "rational libertarian right" movement if you want to give it a name.
he is not a random professor anymore.
he connected with people whose power is growing by the day.
these are all people I talked with almost daily in the depth of COVID moral horrors (ofc I talked with the tier 2 guys but the names I listed where the top of the spear, and we won).
and btw he is not "reasonable good". he is an objectively better professional than a
Pb and Luciom both have inside information from contacts with the #1 and #2 tier guys about the truth about Covid.
You mean sending each other interesting tweets when you say “talking”, right?
I assume so. That's where people go to connect with important people and get the inside scoop, right? I just assumed that if I really wanted to know the real unadulterated truth about Covid, I'd go over to the tweeter and follow an account called "CovidTruth6969" or something.
It's still painful to watch these dfs celebrate obvious covid disinfomation.
So in addition to lacking qualifications, having tattoos of things that just happen to also be popular with white nationalists, it's now been confirmed (by his attorney) that Hegseth paid a settlement to a staffer following a 2017 sexual assault allegation, who reportedly did the hospital visit and did the rape kit and all.
Guess I'm obliged to point out Hegseth says it was consensual, and his lawyer says he was drunk.
Tried to get Fox News' take on all this, but they don't seem to be reporting it. Not one peep of it in any of the top 60 headlines on their main page.
Truly incredible that after thousands of unsubstantied allegation of sexual misconduct get floated around against political candidates, scotus nominees and the like, those which might have some substance are considered irrelevant all the same.
Who might have thought that could happen?
The ends justify the means. So what if half a million people died easily preventable deaths because of the disinformation spread by Trumptards? They are merely collateral damage to Luciom and those of his ilk. Vomit.

Rape is no longer illegal, especially if you’re rich and famous. They let you do whatever you want…..grab’em by the pussy….whatever.

Misuse of freedom can lead to death for people that make bad mistakes.
So be it, as freedom is more important than everything else anyway, and life has no value absent freedom.
Their lives was theirs, and theirs alone to begin with, who are you to tell them how to live and how to die?
when playing a game, and respecting the rules, absolutely yes. And no that's not being a bad human being, that's being a good player of games.
Saying the election is rigged when it isn’t is not reflecting the rules of the game, it’s being a piece of dogshit. Lying about a life-saving medical advancement during a world-wide pandemic is being a piece of dogshit. I know being a piece of dogshit means nothing to you, nor to the majority of Americans. Do not take refuge in the false security of consensus; just because the majority agrees doesn’t mean they’re not dogshit.
Their lives was theirs, and theirs alone to begin with, who are you to tell them how to live and how to die?
I’m not the one who lies to them and supports the lying that eventually killed them. I merely profited from their stupidity and the situation created by the dogshit humans involved in right-wing anti-vaxx media sphere. I did not contribute to or it or exploit it; you and yours did. Hence, dogshit.
MrDavitWilliam should probably learn the art of making his insults a little more subtle, otherwise MrDavitWilliam might (sadly) be depart again.
MrDavitWilliam is aware we now live in the Trump world and in the Trump world the facts do not give 2 ****s about one’s feelings.
Trump repeatedly refers to his opponents and anyone who disagrees with him as “horrible people.” This is how they want it, so, they get it.
The mods have an impossible job. I mean, the POTUS is on record saying it’s ok for rich guys to grab women by the pussy. How does one moderate a forum for civility when the facts are uncivil? If they feel the truth set forth by MrDavitWilliam is too unpalatable, they will do what they think is best and perhaps that means MrDavitWilliam will no longer be arrive.

I didn't lie unlike many democrats who ruined many lives by scaring them eccessively and destroying their mental healths, social relationships and so on.
Some people on the right lied and slighty increased the chance of death for a small percentage of the population who believed their lies and didn't vaccinate even if at significant risk.
But the damage done by you and your people was immensely worse, as young people are worth orders of magnitude more than close-to-death elders, and the vast majority of elders ended up vaccinated anyway.
Every suicide ideation because of lockdowns, every couple that didn't form because people in the 20s couldn't meet each other, every friendship or relationship ruined because of "social distancing" even among demographics that had absolutely nothing to fear from covid, is on you guys.
And that's was so massively worse than some % of the at -risk believing antivaxxers that at some point even people like you will realize YOU WERE AND ARE THE BADDIES. You destroyed huge quantities of human lives with covid mismanagement, and did more damage to society than the virus itself could ever do.

Settle down, Sparky. Stick to the issue at hand. No one is talking about lockdowns or anything other than the lies perpetrated by right wing media about vaccination against COVID. People died because the Trumptards didn’t want to give the “left” a “win”. Hence, Dogshit.
Yes, my family profited from the deaths of these folks as they spent weeks in icu hooked up to machines before eventually croaking. But we didn’t tell people not to get vaccinated. In fact, we encouraged people to consult their doctor about it and get it if their Dr recommended it. God ain’t pissed at me. I got on the lifeboat he sent during the flood and encouraged others to get in it as well. You didn’t and people died as a DIRECT result. Own it.

You were talking about lies.
Some people on the right lied about vaccine efficacy for covid, some people believed them, and perhaps died a death that could have been prevented by vaccination.
Fact is , as i said, your side lied a lot more during covid causing a lot more damage than that.
I was against lockdowns but profited from them. And i did encourage people at risk to vaccinate as plenty of rightwing people did, unlike on the left where the absurdities , grotesque exaggeration of risk and so on were agreed upon by basically everyone.
As usual, the left was horribly worse than the right, as it is the case basically for every topic in politics and life.
