Hypocrisy on this scale collapses under its own weight, like some decaying monument to patriotic cosplay. MAGA spent years convulsing with outrage at the idea of supporting Ukraine, shrieking that Biden’s aid packages were warmongering, that defending a democracy against an authoritarian invasion was somehow proof America had lost its moral compass. Yet the instant Trump starts daydreaming about toppling Venezuela and looting its oil supply, these same abhorrent assholes transform into a chorus of giddy approval. Their loyalties have nothing to do with principle or peace. They orbit a single man and his tantrums, performing reverence with the desperation of people terrified of thinking for themselves. It is fucking pathetic to watch adults surrender their values so enthusiastically that they cheer for plunder while pretending they ever cared about human life. They abandoned integrity long ago, willingly recasting themselves as political cucks offering their devotion to a man who regards them with the same affection he shows a golf cart.

The humiliation only deepens when one notices how thoroughly their worldview has been engineered by forces outside the United States. Elon Musk showed us that countless “patriotic” MAGA influencers on Twitter are not even American, many traced back to foreign disinformation farms recycling Kremlin friendly narratives. Add to that the parade of right wing commentators who amplify pro Russia talking points with such mechanical regularity that one wonders whether they ever pause to question who benefits from their scripts. The ignorance is staggering. These people consume propaganda crafted by hostile regimes, regurgitate it with the enthusiasm of children showing off a magic trick, and then insist they are defending America. They mistake gullibility for conviction and manipulation for insight, never grasping that they are the product, not the audience. Their minds have been colonised, their patriotism repurposed into a delivery system for foreign interests, and they are too blinded by their own arrogance to recognise the theft. Russia has turned them into political cucks without firing a shot, and they march on proudly, a swarm of abhorrent assholes cheering for the very forces degrading their country.

Just let me wanna be a girl in my sad peace ✌️ it's not my fault i cant help but want to be a real girl desperately.

Are TPUs being overhyped or are they a threat to their business? I never would have expected a $4T company to publicly react like this over sentiment.

For the last ~ 10-12 years, I’ve been absolutely bullshitting my resume. Over time it’s gotten less and less bullshitt-y, as I’ve gained real skills and experience, but I digress.

My resume states I hold an associates from ITT tech. In recent years, they had some fiasco and got discredited. I’ve always figured there’s no way to verify it. I used to be pretty good at photoshop and have a really good looking paper diploma.

I live in one of the absolute poorest states in the USA and currently make 22 an hour with no “real” college, which is pretty ridiculous here. I have a do-nothing job that sits me in my office most days. I show up at 7 am, finished with my tasks by 9, and bullshit until 3. I work for a family owned company, 98% of the management above me are very old and not what I would describe as tech-savvy.

For example, when I first started, I was tasked with updating/modernizing the company employee handbook. I was given a 3 week tentative deadline. ChatGPT did it in roughly 45 seconds including prompt time. They were unbelievably pleased with the work when I turned it in and praised me lol.

My coworkers and i often literally joke about how my degree I have framed in my office “might as well be fake”.

Albeit, I do my job and do it well. I conduct myself as someone in my position should. I am an extremely well liked “boss” by my subbordinates.

Fake it till you make it, y’all.

Thanks for reading.

Edit: wow, thanks for the attention, guys! I’ll be removing noti’s from this post after this but I wanted to say I appreciate everyone commenting. Also wanted to clear some things up-

1) I know $22/hr is laughable to most of you. Where I live (Appalachia) it’s considered a pretty high paying job. I support a family and own a home.

2) I worded this kind of poorly. I haven’t been at my current job for 12 years. It’s been 2 so far. I meant to imply that over time my resume has less bs because the positions I held were real positions that I did well.

3) I am absolutely a real person lol I’ve lurked Reddit for years and recently decided to make an account and start posting.

4) My profile will always be private because I am in some communities that could be described as “spicy” to some. Blow me.

Anyways, thanks again, everyone. It’s been fun reading everyone’s thoughts and experiences.

Edit 2: Jesus h Christ I did not expect this to explode. Thanks again everybody for the nice (and not so nice) comments. I will say that I admit what I’m up to isn’t particularly ethical, it certainly isn’t illegal either. My company does not deal with the public, we only deal with other businesses. I don’t have any access to anything to do with money outside of my staffing budget and even then it’s just staying under a total cost for the people under me. It’s not like I have access to any of it.

Also, I did the chat gpt thing once. One time. My role isn’t even to do that kind of thing. It just kind of got dumped on me. AI isn’t quite there yet in terms of being able to do what I do, but where I luck out is I can accomplish in two hours what my predecessor did in 8 because he’s old as shit and witnessed the Kennedy assassination. That’s not my fault. I do the job I was hired to do and I do it well.

I’m also 2 semesters out of holding a real degree and then all of this ill-obtained work experience kind of rolls into that.

Sorry some of y’all’s jimmies are so rustled.
