That's weird

Almost like fraud or something

Death Stranding 2: Metal Gear Evangelion

I'm not complaining though

Or worse shudders business majors

They are trying to kill CS with AI.

Software and Computer engineers are absolutely stupid expensive. And we're necessary, because so few people understand it, and even less want to put in the required work to do it.

Unfortunately for them, they don't understand it to the point where they inevitably push away the people they need to make use of AI tools, and cover the gaps that AI leaves.

But you and I aren't the person Trump is trying to excite.

It's the 25% of Americans that equate critical thought with torture. That is the chunk of people you can't reason with. So you have to have a way for them to care at all. Unloading garbage nonsense that has the occasional inflammatory rhetoric is exciting.

Talking about football? Not exciting to me, but these 25% of Americans? You better bet your ass they like it. They like beer and they like the idea of not having to worry about finances as well.

It's not something we are going to change anytime soon. Far too many people to change to counter that.

Instead, we need candidates like Walz, who have a brain on their shoulders, and have a way to excite outside of putting on a show.

Bernie Sanders was another example of it. AoC is as well.

It's far easier to have a better candidate than change how 80 million people think.

One problem the DNC has is that they keep throwing boring ass lawyers into a game that isn't about law. It's about being a face the country knows to run the government.

You need charisma, you need to appeal to people, and you need to be human. Obama did this perfectly. Bill Clinton had it in him. Biden at least had such a long record in politics he could wing it his first term. I don't know how he managed to win, but he did.

Clinton, while being a lawyer, had already been the governor of Arkansas. Meaning he had the experience being that executive. He could convince people to work beyond their own interests. Al Gore, we all know, won the 2000 presidential election, but the supreme court let everything get fucked up.

Kerry? Never stood a chance. Hilary? No chance. Kamala? As much as we needed her to win, she was unappealing to stupid people.

Lawyers, by nature of their career, have to read and understand the most boring ass shit and then convince others that the boring ass text supports their side of the case. That means a lot of them are boring people.

You wanna know why Walz is popular? He fucking loves football. He can connect to highschool students. IDK about you, but if you've ever met high schoolers, they aren't the brightest, and bored easily. He's progressive, but he won't shove it in someone's face to be more righteous. Not many people can do that.

To win an election, you have to excite people. Trump, despite his rhetoric clearly being terrifying, was, unfortunately, exciting.

Me, freshmen year of college: "I'm going to major in computer engineering - with additional math and physics courses. Capable of designing all sorts of cool stuff, and get paid well"

Me 16 years later: "I don't know what the fuck I'm doing, I don't know what the fuck management wants, I don't know what the fuck I want to do, but at least I get paid well."

And I have a coworker that asks why I panic every time he mentions that he got some code from Gemini.

My biggest problem with this movie is that we didn't get Biolizard.

But otherwise it was amazing
