So celebrities are mad at Facebook for some reason?

I hate FB as much as the next guy, even though hypocritically I have an account but I don't get the uproar over this. Targeting voters based on some secret-sauce analytics is a decades old science. It used to be that parties - both Republican and Democrat - would target various households and precincts based on their magazine subscriptions, for example. 

 

Also, when was the last time that Jim Carrey was even relevant? Or funny for that matter? The guy wasn't even funny on "In Living Color".

 

To answer your question, Jim Carrey was never funny.

And now McMaster is out, as reported for weeks by the mainstream "fake news" media.  To be replaced by John Bolton and his mustache.  Oddly enough, Trump, who claims to have opposed the Iraq war as a bad idea, has selected Bolton, the most hawkish of hawks and a defender to this day of the Iraq invasion.

BTW - If you are not familiar with the term 'Parliamentary Privilege', look it up.....Double standards and silliness is nothing new in the UK, but we struggle through.

Don,

 

While I agree with you in principle and in fact think Jim Carey the Canuck cocksucker needs to have a coke a smile and SHUT THE FUCK UP about American politics and our Constitution such as it is...

 

Maybe he's not wrong about Facebook though.

 

Just a thought, well really it's part of a bizarre hypothetical scenario that came up in a discord conversation about every geek hive's perennial favorite topic. (Besides porn)

 

This topic being, trends we notice that piss us off or disturb us in lowest common denominator land.

 

Long story short after a long round of making tenuous and hardly supportable connections between topics even a schizophrenic couldn't wire together, we came to the conclusion that either AI is already loose and preemptively sending Western society into a tailspin before we twig to it's existing and unfucking plug it... Or Facebook and alphabet ink are fucking evil and need to be destroyed with fire (and big god damn magnets)

 

The whole thing we came up with is likely just as batshit insane as old canuckistani Carey, but this doesn't change that Facebook is evil and humans probably need to bust out the thermite and magnets for their own good.

This is cancelled out by the facts that, a) Trump doesn't listen to his advisers and b) randomly fires them anyway.

Has Trump done anything you approve of?

Don't get me wrong. If I had my druthers, Zuckerface would be one of the first lined up against the wall when the red flag of revolution finally gets raised. It is just a bit astounding considering what a big liberals Zuckerface and the preponderance of Facebook leadership are and yet Hollywood (and other liberal organizations) are calling for their demise because they somehow think Trump won due to analytics farmed on FB. 

 

Rather bemusing.

 

As for AI, it would have to be one of the craziest, malfunctioning, cobbled together contraptions ever if AI was in control of things, what with how off the wall life is becoming since 2015.

Trump is very adept at getting his enemies to turn against each other.  Every large political party has tensions between its constituent groups, and under the right circumstances a coalition will devolve into bitter infighting.  It's hard to tell the current DNC from Idlib province in Syria right now.  The 2018 middterms are going to be a hell of a ride.

The rogue AI part is the backup explanation LOL... 

 

Life becoming further and further off the wall since 2015 is however the effect we were idly discussing, and specifically what could have possibly made the species go so bat shit crazy on cue en masse.

 

We basically narrowed it down to 2 choices

 

1. A group or multiple groups of people are working very hard to fan the fires of crazy deliberately in the pursuit of their goals and we're all fucked.

 

2. The law of unintended consequences hit the metaphorical 777 with a triple payout modifier and we're all fucked.

 

Either way things seem to be going in a pretty grim direction right now and a truly bizarre form of mass hysteria and delusions, as well as a power structure that is desperately trying to distract the rank and file from just how counterproductive to progress and prosperity they have become, are driving shit into the sun where we will all become fusion byproducts or some shit.

 

It is textbook not good, in the end this was our only concrete conclusion.

Oh... We're not just fucked... We're turbo fucked, and the people at the top are either in on it or they couldn't possibly have been smart or ruthless enough to crawl over enough bodies to be one of the fucking people on top.

 

I'd like to thank my ex for being the incorrigible cock hound she is for once in that she spotted this shit pretty much in real time LOL.
