Thank you. In general, his posts are nothing short of idiotic, an insult to general intelligence, even to those of a low IQ, and we all know that. Of course, he’s free to post whatever nonsense he wants, just as others are free to read, respond, or ignore it entirely. Personally, I ignore most of what he writes, don’t even click on the topics, and only occasionally do I bite back, like on an outright troll topic like this, but I don’t think I’ve ever made it through one of his original posts from start to finish with any determination, including this one. It’s all an insult to basic intelligence and risks you questioning your own sanity for ever reading one, so I never do. In fact, Bob Smith posted a couple of topics yesterday that were locked immediately by the moderators for being “nonsense and contributing nothing to the community.” I think it was a positive step forward and the same could easily be said for most of GG’s posts. My real issue starts when he ventures into spreading misinformation and disinformation, especially when it concerns controversial figures in power, politics, or economic issues, things that affect other people’s lives in general. Some of his missteps may be due to his half-baked misunderstandings of the world, but at this point, it feels much more intentional from him, designed to disrupt rational discussion and provoke chaos. I used to feel sorry for him, considering his obvious mental health issues, but once he starts crossing into conspiracy theories, outright lies, and dangerous rhetoric, the sympathy ends. He’s not a good person. He doesn’t care about truth, people, or meaningful dialogue, as exemplified by the fact that most of his responses to others here are off-topic, mind-numbing, tangential drivel. Many of his posts also reek of racism, misogyny, white privilege, and even have fascist undertones. Frankly, when he leans into those areas, moderators should shut it down on sight. It violates the spirit, if not the letter, of any reasonable community standard. More people should call him out the way I have, not indulge him, not engage seriously, and definitely not reward him with validation. He thrives on attention, positive or negative. Even abuse gives him a twisted sense of gratification. The worst thing you can do to someone like that is to deny them the illusion of relevance. He should be constantly reminded that we see through the act. The misunderstood, whimsical persona is just a cover for a dangerous, serial troll. He’s a lonely, bitter hermit who suffers from feeling irrelevant, desperate for gratification and acceptance, but with a passive aggressive streak and toxic intentions. If people must respond, they should only do so to point out how unhinged and out of touch he really is, without offering him any of the human connection he so desperately craves. Any feedback, any acknowledgment, just fuels the fire. He deserves only cold indifference, and he should be made aware of that every single time. It is a sad situation how insufferably detestable he has become in his quest for self-pleasuring, but I think one that is now increasingly clear to anyone reading this topic and any of his others. .

You are consistently a waste of space.

There was a time I actually felt sorry for you because of your clear mental health issues, and I held back from commenting on many of your ridiculous and misguided topics. But after seeing the kind of garbage you’ve been spewing lately about politics, influential figures, China, and more, any shred of sympathy I once had for you is gone. Your approach is purely grotesque, repugnant, and beneath contempt.

The fact that you’re here, in your unfettered delirium, championing a fascist Nazi lunatic, someone the entire rational world sees as an existential threat to humanity, is as deranged as Musk’s own maniacal descent into madness. You’re not just misguided, you’re unhinged. And no one’s going to give you a pass when you try to whitewash a dangerous, powerful madman into some kind of heroic demagogue. You complain about mistreatment and wonder why people don’t respond positively to you on this forum. Well, let this serve as a clear example of why. People remember things like this. So the next time you post something that isn’t quite as vile or reprehensible, don’t act surprised when the peanut gallery doesn’t roll out a warm welcome.

So I guess it’s clear to you now that my last six posts were just regurgitations of the litany of ludicrous and childish topics that you have obsessively posted over the last 5-6 months and find so titillating. By now, you’ve probably got the message. Stay in your lane. Because anything beyond exploding toasters, comparing beer bubbles, farting into your own hand, debating the emotional tone of a doorbell chime, or tracking the psychological effects of mismatched food storage container lids is well beyond your cognitive capacity.

How about just sticking to your intellectual sweet spot: things like plotting to be Tinder’s oldest liar, crying over your smoky Tefal toaster, wondering if YouTube’s black screen means you’re banned for life, proclaiming yourself an Ape Man, chasing the fleeting thrill of Petito-style gossip, fretting over Bob Seger’s raunchy lyrics embarrassing your GF, picking fights over miscegenation, whining about flighty women, rating Thai ladies in winter coats, spreading rumors that Sam Altman’s secretly a woman, fretting over paranoid Cybertruck buyers, moping about pointless purple blossoms, analyzing why girls fluff their hair, marking time by Tokay lizard visits, obsessing over the Farmer’s Wife’s whereabouts, flexing your broken toenail macro photos, preaching the superiority of circular comments, probing Irish love for nut-brown brews, policing how folks say “often,” and setting the perfect bedroom temp for spooning. And spare us the superficial and tangential thoughts, ok?

Well, there is always pondering the existential crisis of a deflated balloon, analyzing the psychological effects of uneven sandwich halves, speculating on the secret lives of dust bunnies, arguing the merits of left-handed versus right-handed spatulas, investigating the conspiracy behind missing pen caps, deliberating the ethics of reusing gift wrap, exploring the philosophical implications of tangled earbuds, and assessing the emotional well-being of overworked coffee mugs.

Sounds kinky. What about comparing the crunch sound of different chip brands, investigating why fridge light bulbs never burn out, ranking cloud shapes by personality type, trying to decode dog facial expressions during sleep, questioning why shoelaces only untie in public, debating the true purpose of belly buttons, logging dream-to-wake transition times, testing how many grapes fit in your mouth without chewing, wondering if socks feel betrayal when mismatched, and analyzing the flirtation habits of garden gnomes???

He lost and you are a loser. I know you're looking for a connection between the two of you, but definitely nobody cares about you, although you already know that.

My dad did.

So next time maybe we can discuss things like questioning fan use when not home, slipping on nearly empty shampoo bottles, mourning lost socks, arguing if cereal is soup, testing ant snack preferences, complaining about uneven toenail growth, suspecting pigeons are spy drones, debating spider squatters’ rights, alphabetizing grocery lists, fighting over toilet paper folds, contemplating the ethics of stealing hotel pens, rating the emotional maturity of bread brands, panicking over lukewarm salad, attempting to ID ghosts in blurry mirror selfies, tracking the shelf life of opened soy sauce, wondering if jammed zippers are a government plot, doubting the intentions of ceiling shadows, ranking the stickiness of different banana types, and pretending your houseplants are judging you. Just as long as you promise not to bring up any meaningful topics rejecting to economics, global affairs, politics, technology, history, etc, deal?

That’s a good point. He did write a book, which probably earned him a bit of money. But even so, he’s not a capitalist. He’s just an average guy doing a job and making a living. As you said, he’s been a faithful politician with a track record of honesty, integrity, and selflessness. He genuinely cares about working-class people and the quality of life for the average American. He respects democracy and the rule of law, things that are increasingly rare in American government. People like him usually don’t go into politics. I do wonder, though, if what he’s doing now will actually lead to any real change. It’s almost impossible to move the needle over the next four years unless something changes on its own. So in some ways, it feels like what he’s doing might be in vain. But maybe that doesn’t matter to him. What matters is getting the message out, as strongly and clearly as possible. That’s all he can control. The rest is out of his hands, he’s just doing his part, and the chips will fall where they may. Either way, he's a good man and I have respect for what he's trying to do. Most people his age would just be sitting on a beach somewhere right now sipping a cool drink and letting somebody else worry about the problems.

Serve 10 years as a senator, then you could get paid three times as much in the private sector being a consultant or a lobbyist. Anyway, you ignored my point. $3 million isn't much to have earned and saved over that amount of time.

He would have made a lot more if he hadn't been a public servant for over 50 years. He invested wisely in a couple of houses and they went up in value. What he has now is fairly average. Even a public school teacher would have $1 million after working that many years and without ever investing in anything. Just by putting the money in the bank. After depositing $10,000 annually for 50 years at a 5% annual interest rate compounded annually, you would have over $2 million.

Indeed, I always try and flatter her.

You are out of your depth, Susan. You should stick to dingy bar hunting in Bangkok. More in line with your pay grade. Pathetic, loser, troll, stalker, weirdo.

Gotta be French. Or Indian...

Good thing I didn’t actually ask for details, because judging by that reply, we’d be halfway through a group orgy by now. What country are you from — and did you ever make it past middle school?

But a picture is worth a thousand words. Show us the hair!

Fair enough. I’ll take that as progress. At least you’re not denying everything this time, which feels like a milestone for us both. Next thing you know, we’ll be agreeing on the best toaster settings to prevent kitchen mishaps, which beer bubbles are the best, and the optimal storage conditions for Mennen speed stick deodorant. One step at a time. 😊

GG, my boy, you’ve proven time and time again, all by your own account, and with no needed intervention from anyone else, that you have zero grasp of economics, global affairs, politics, technology, history, or frankly anything beyond meme-tier hero worship. So from now on, whenever you post about a subject that is anything even remotely relevant to topical discourse, I hope that nobody will ever waste another second trying to educate you or guide you toward some form of rational understanding. You’ve demonstrated repeatedly that it’s simply not possible. Combine that with your hermit-like detachment from reality, your spiraling mental health issues, your delusional fantasies about how the world works, and your overall cognitive collapse, and it’s clear there’s no point in trying to have a meaningful conversation with you. You should stick to the types of topics that fall within the very limited range of your mental purview: things like calculating the cost to mail a single pea via UPS, lamenting toaster malfunctions that fill your house with smoke, salvaging torn bedsheets, comparing bubble sizes in Leo and Singha, wondering why purple blossoms drop daily, claiming BIOS updates contain Area 51 messages, obsessing over twice-per-second bird chirps, debating whether to pronounce the “T” in “often,” and fixating on the optimal bedroom temperature for your imaginary sex life.

Correct. With high tariffs in place, the cost of goods is likely to go up, not down, regardless of the broader economic situation. Prices could even rise during a recession due to reduced production output, which can cause supply shocks. Another possibility is that even if Trump rolls back the tariffs, some trading partners may no longer want to sell goods to the U.S. because of his mental and emotional instability and the risk that he might change direction again at any time. Let’s say, for example, that you are a European company that made a deal with an American company to sell them three million dollars’ worth of products that you have not yet manufactured. You plan to produce the goods and deliver them a few months later. You agree on a price and sign a contract based on the current trade agreements between your country and the U.S. Then, suddenly, Trump decides to slap on an additional fifteen or twenty percent tariff after the deal was made. If you are that European company, you are in trouble. The American buyer might back out, or you may no longer want to sell the products at the same price due to the added tariffs. There might be a clause in the agreement allowing either party to cancel under those conditions, but what if the European company has already invested in manufacturing the goods and now has nowhere to sell them? This would be especially disastrous if it is a product with a limited shelf life that must be used or consumed quickly. Going forward, overseas companies will likely prefer to look for buyers in more stable markets, where there is less risk of sudden changes to trade agreements that could end up costing them money or even bankrupting their business if a contract falls apart.

You've done well then when compared to me. My portfolio value is down even more than Trump's approval ratings.

Gift of the gab. Word smith of the highest order innit.

Men have been known to try it, but often end up broke.
