  • I still find it hilarious that about 15 years ago, the WWE introduced a new wrestling character. His name was “Abraham Washington”. A name that, yes, it is a combination of exactly the two names you think it is. So who did they get to play the role of Aberaham Washington? A black guy. He played the role of a TV talk show host, who legitimately got fired, and this is true, for going off script and saying “Titus O’Neil (A wrestler) is like Kobe Bryant at a hotel in Colorado - HE’S UNSTOPPABLE!” which referenced some 2003 legal issues Kobe had involving a sexual assault case.

    Abraham Washington everybody!



  • I love how even though your answer is “this one”, it’s not based off of angry emotion with nothing else behind it. You make a logical point where it’s hard to make the argument for any other president. It also means future presidents will probably break the current levels as more efficient technologies emerge.

    Notice, the question was NOT “Who’s the most ridiculed POTUS in history by humans?”. There’s a lot of wiggle room for still being correct while also artificially stacking the deck. There’s a little over 8 billion humans on earth. You could create 88 billion bots, and now you’d have the bots united message of ridicule heavily outweigh and thus manipulate the narrative to other real humans.

    “President Tom Smith is absolutely HATED by everybody…everyone online is saying it. It must be true.”

    And now suddenly a real human has made up their political views, based on one corporate entity shaping the online message. That’s why musk bought twitter. You can claim bluesky and mastodon exist, and they do, but in the mainstream they do not replace twitter. Twitter is still the dominant way for that microblog style communication. bluesky and mastodon combined don’t come near their real numbers of twitter.

    But how much of modern day twitter is actual real humans? See where I’m going with this?









  • Back in 1997 there was a storyline in WWF with a professional wrestler named Bret Hart.

    Bret is a Canadian. And the storyline was that he was a bad guy in the USA, because he bad mouthed USAs healthcare, and treatment of veterans.

    He was a good guy everywhere in the world EXCEPT the USA.

    He said things like “Back home in Canada, we still act like decent people. Where we take care of the sick, and the elderly. We honor our veterans who served our country. Not like here where you dump them in the streets and spit on them as they suffer. I can’t wait to get back to Canada. A real country to be proud of. Not this fascade of an image that your country tries to project. All men are created equal, huh? Kind of hard to take that seriously, when the quotes author was a slave holder.”

    Yeah. Professional wrestling was WILD in the late 90s. But I bet you thought it was just muscle roided beefy boys beating their chests and shaking the ropes, huh?

    My point is, we’ve NEVER taken care of our own people. Even a professional wrestler 30 years ago could see that.



  • …ok, now, you say literally. Do you literally mean literally? As in we’re shipping people there with the intention of killing them?

    Because that’s both shocking, but also believable. There is no floor for this administration.

    Soooooo…I don’t WANT to believe the government is using official government resources to kill people. But at the same time, we literally have had two government officials do nazi salutes on tv this year.

    A maga death camp would be shocking, but not surprising. As sad as that would be to say.

    Literally in the top 1% of karma users in 2023. Banned in 2024 for…

    checks notes

    …posting a comment that my bike was stolen when I was 7.

    Reddit claims the ban was done by a human. However I just cannot see a human looking at the post I got banned for, and saying “This guy deserves to get banned”.

    My best theory, based on the timeline, is that they offered me a presale enter IPO offering before it went public. At the time I was on cancer treatment, and had $0 income, with my two sisters and mom paying for my apartment.

    I had no ability to buy an IPO.

    3 days after it went public, I still didn’t own stock, and was banned. Because I said my bike was stolen 30+ years earlier.
