Our leopards are starting to look a bit, uh, not super healthy.

How braindead do you have to be to equate efficiency with destruction?!
Unless of course, destruction is the point.
Lots of folks want it all to burn down, not see it healed. Accelerationism is not unique to maga, they just differ in what they hope comes next
Some want a levelling of the playing field, others want an opportunity to seize absolute power.
Claiming to on some level support Trump as a government worker is just common sense at this point, regardless of what you actually believe.
There's a sliver of a chance this article goes viral. If MAGA sees him as "one of them", he might get his job back. If not, he might get ruined in ways that go beyond job loss.
It's kinda like some Chinese protests have signs glorifying the CCP and Xi.
If MAGA sees him as "one of them", he might get his job back. If not, he might get ruined in ways that go beyond job loss.
As if. MAGA doesn't give a shot about injured veterans. For them, veterans are just an advertisement for the armed forces, and injured veterans taint the image. Also he's a textbook DEI hire.
"The last time the economy lost jobs was in December 2020, when the United States was still recovering from ~~the coronavirus pandemic~~" Trump's first term. (fixed that)
Last paragraph says it all He believes the rhetoric and then complains when they do what they told him they were going to do.
"I thought it meant they would fire one of THEM, not me!"
A disabled federal government worker who supports Trump. You have to be a special kind of clueless to be in all of those camps.
Did he think being a veteran would protect him from the fickle judgement of the guy who famously called dead and injured soldiers "suckers and losers"?
theyd have him in a camp alright
DEI allowed people with disabilities to work in government. This dipshit Trumper MAGA fuckwit thinks he was immune. Fuck him. Hope he gets everything he voted for.
That's because they think DEI just means black. As usual they don't know what the fuck they are talking about
DEI is the safe n word now.
Now now now, they also think it means you hire women.
I have yet to hear one of those fuckers IRL tell me what DEI stands for, they don't know!
It stands for Donald, Eric, Ivanka.
This is the first I've seen of a conservative Lemmy community. God willing it is the last I see of one as well. At this point I unironically believe Lemmy needs a healthy amount of tankies so that right-wingers know they're not welcome here~ ❤️
That's mean to say but I'm trying to switch over from Reddit and I'm honestly just so done with MAGA stinking up every damn space it's insane, I don't want them to even breathe in my direction. With RFK Jr as the recent pick for the Department of Health and Human Services, I just might need to enforce that boundary literally.
From what I've seen, any "conservative" community on Lemmy is 2 or 3 troll accounts that make up 90% of posts. Why would far right people use Lemmy when Reddit, Twitter, and Facebook are so welcoming to them?
Just to get a reaction, which so far seems to be getting down voted into oblivion.
But they probably get off on the down votes.
Owning the libs. Getting them so triggered.
On the bright side, if there is another pandemic, we'll get a nice case study in Darwinism
I knew a few people that died (working in a hospital) from COVID but the last one that did was a full on conservitive that was the first to take the mask off and complain about it.... until one day when I went to his desk and his coworkers told me he was out sick.... and then a week later he was dead from complications from COVID.
They all fail at game theory. When being negative, everyone loses. Tit for Tat + 10% forgiveness is the most successful and highest growth potential. T4T means you are always nice, always positive, and when someone is negative, you respond in kind but randomly forgive 10% of the time to exit the stupidity spiral. Most world leaders know and operate under T4T now that it was established as the only path to maximal growth for everyone. Failing to apply this when everyone else is applying it will ALWAYS result in bringing everyone down but the most damage will ALWAYS occur to the perpetrating entity when all others are playing T4Tpt.
Someone wanna tell this person what T4T actually means? It'll be funny.
I'm lazy. Sorry T's. May you always be positive and get your extra 10%
So what I'm hearing is, we should forgive 10% of the magats?
I “forgive” them by not punching them in the face on sight.
Forgiveness is for you. Any benefit they get is a by-product.
I avoid getting sued, arrested, or fired by not punching them in the face.
This is interesting, how did they get those calculations?
The person you're replying to is describing (without giving proper context except for "game theory") an algorithm that's fairly successful at the "iterated prisoners dilemma": https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tit_for_tat
There are a variety of ways. One way is to run a computer program that executes each strategy and then just have them all go against each other some number of times like a tournament, or sometimes just "random matchings". Super fast to do so it's easy to try different scenarios and make a lot of different strategies.
They've also done tournaments with actual people, and then compared the different people's behavior to the different "pure" strategies that they made. This helps them validate that the behaviors carry over.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Prisoner%27s_dilemma
It's worth noting that nation states don't always behave the same as individuals, but often closer to the game theory ideal. Additionally, there are circumstances where tit for tat isn't actually the dominant strategy, specifically when you know that the game is going to end.
I don't know where this particular graph came from, but Richard Dawkins has a whole chapter about strategies for the prisoner's dilemma in his book "The Selfish Gene".
Veritasium did a nice video covering the research and explaining the sources. It was an academic competition of sorts
It's funny how people support getting others in their situation fired because they all think they are indispensable.
Hint: nobody is indispensable.
Of course, it's a bit late to warn Trump voters. But I'll leave this here for when the next autocratic populist comes along in a few years.
