In a sense it is done. That sense is being a beacon of progress. All presidents before Trump understood the relationship America had with the world as being a world power. While there always was a conservative voice in America, conservative presidents were always able to mask self interest under the flag of progress, bringing democracy, peace and free markets. Now ultraconservative fascist are no longer masking, Trump and Musk are literally not smart enough to understand. The USA played a very important role in the world order and the current administration is basically giving that up.

Trump and Musk, because they really aren't smart (i can't stress this enough, they lack the mental capacity), are not considering the value of that role, the services the US provides. They only think about the value of things and of money. More rockets, tarifs on goods, expenditure... And see these as things along which progress is measured.

While that does, to a small extent, captures progress. It forgets the foundations of progress, peace, education, financial security, social cohesion, to name a few. Sorry, i say forget... But really what i should be saying is dismantling. They are also clueless about the value of services and the service economy. Which is, or has become, another measure of progress.

Anyway the point is, the US can't maintain their position in the world order. They can't maintain a government that understands their responsibility in that order. They abandoned their classic role without providing the world with a new/better one.

The US has been degraded to a trade partner.

Knife/multitool. There is a plethora of options. I enjoy the classic swiss army knife. Scissors, pincet, knife, saw, bottle opener, pliers... You can get it all in one small package.

Headphones/earphones can't be an app.

Cup/bottle/thermos/liquid container. Drink more water, enjoy hot coffee.

A skill. Spend time getting good at some random non virtual things, penspinning, coin tricks, cardistry, calligraphy...

I see AI has achieved humor above human comprehension.

Oh God it was such an onslaught on my self image and psychology. I believe humans aren't equipped to handle the amount of rejection you have to receive during that grind. I certainly wasn't.

That's exactly how change of meaning happens, tho. Like that's literally how we do that.

Like i said, there is a point here that's getting lost in accusations. There indeed is a blindspot for Harris' faults.

They're questioning whether or not the other side is bogged down in idpol. The other guy accused them of doing idpol. Big difference. My point isn't that idpol doesn't exist obviously it does. Talking about it isnt the same as doing it.

Sorry but oop is explicitly not doing identity politics. You have a point but it's getting lost in your accusations.

That's a picture of the concept. The production version doesn't have the front window flow into the hood. And that really destroys the look. The production version looks more like the multivan, and i like the multivan in two tone better. It's a more honest design.

First a giraffe, for a super long neck. Then a fish for gils.

That's it I'm just curious what it would look like. Ill probably go live in a loch or something.
