Moral grandstanding and absolving themselves of responsibility for not voting and/ or holding anti-electoral views.

"I hate everyone because they're worse people than me and as a result I let the clearly worse one win by not voting for the less worse one."

This comment says a lot more about you than it says about anyone else. Green went sicko mode on this circus and you're triggered as hell.

Tell me you don't get laid without telling me you don't get laid

I mostly know of him from Behind the Bastards, a podcast about prominent historical figures (usually 1800s through present). The twist, apart from their regular Christmas "Non-Bastard" episodes is of course that these influential people actually behaved questionably at best during their time. I really think Robert's research and storytelling are great, he and the guests he brings on really can make an hour fly by sometimes. Most of the biographies are split up into a couple parts, with people like Kissinger and Vince McMahon having such dubious pasts to earn them 6 parts each.

Anyway, the interview with the AI home assistant dude was from another podcast which he frequents, called It Could Happen Here, a more news-oriented podcast. Both of the podcasts can be found on YouTube, published by Cool Zone Media. I believe they did 3 episodes of CES coverage for this year, the final part contained the interview. After all the dunking Robert talks about another interview he had at CES which was a lot more uplifting.

Robert's interview with the AI home assistant robot guy this year was unintentionally amazing, the dude was dressed like Jordan Peterson (ie. an insane person) but had all the interviewing skills of a parboiled potato. And he had no clue that Robert was clowning on him so hard.

Kind weird to think that's what's happening tbh

My strategy of literally ignoring collectors and sending all their calls to voicemail (for a surgery done in early 2023 in which I owed a couple thousand dollars) actually worked. I was called once a week or so for a little over a year and I haven't been contacted since June 2024.

I believe I was dinged on my credit score but the penalty was low single-digits, and it didn't affect my eligibility to buy a house. Your mileage will vary, and I definitely can't in good conscience recommend this as your first resort. Talk to a professional about risks and benefits of not paying certain debts if you can't or don't want to pay; some debts are not optional. But yeah, some are.

Look on the bright side, some CEOs are getting relief from this mortal coil!

No empathy for anyone who voted for this and gets burned. The hard truth is they want the subjugation to happen. Otherwise they would have voted for anyone else.

Lemmy is such an echo chamber that the terminally online here can't fathom the idea of someone voting against their own interests. But go out and talk to some people, you'll find them.

They're useful tools, as is the Lincoln Project, for example. Once the existential threat in Trump is gone it'll be back to business as usual and their MO will be "oppose meaningful change without enabling a monster to take advantage of us again" again in no time. Trump is such a unique and unhinged threat that they resent what they've created, and in an equally unique moment of self reflection, created the Never Trump movement. But longtime allies to leftists, or even liberals for that matter, they absolutely are not. There's no ambiguity around it.
