I'm on LinkedIn and have met people from there. I just find it a confusing layout.

Congress created LinkedIn??

I didn't say that you super-nice person! I thought I was right. I heard that someone in Congress had the idea. If you want the truth, read this:

that's because you're too scientific! you're thinking too much, Mr. real estate!

 

[Jon]

You are right again.

 

[neuroman9999]

You are right again.

you are being sarcastic. you think i'm wrong 100% of the time. don't think you can fool me.

 

[Jon]

You caught me. Right again!

 

[neuroman9999]

ha ha ha. you make it sound like I know it all Jon. your other members here aren't going to like that. on a side note, someone on LinkedIn the other day told me that I think I'm God. LOL. How would he know what I'm thinking!?

 

[Jon]

Because you are omnipresent.

 

[neuroman9999]

ha ha ha. not really. only the spirit is everywhere. however, some overly faithful people have been able to be in 2 places at once. bi-location. Padre Pio, for one. my favorite saint. and of course, some called him a liar and a deceiver. go figure. I had to look your words up too...

I'm not as good as GPT-3: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GPT-3

 

[Jon]

GPT-3 is quite fascinating. They think GPT-4 will be smarter than Shakespeare.

 

[neuroman9999]

GPT-4?! never heard of it. that may be. however, be aware that NO computer will ever be smarter than an intelligent human being.

 

[Jon]

It won't be out for years. Its just the next generation of GPT-4.

We are all computers. Wet-ware vs Hard-ware.

we are all computers. Wet-ware vs Hard-ware.

NOT. I'm overly human. although I just finished a job as an IT manager at a facility right down the road from me, where I saw an entry level worker standing in the hallway one day acting like a robot. Almost cried when I looked him. corporate residual.

In the simulation hypothesis, they say God is a computer-programmer.

I still don't understand the voting process of the USA. apparently what presidents need in order to get elected are the electoral votes. and from what I know, the popular vote, given by the general public, plays no part in the electoral votes.

Too many people fail to understand that the USA is NOT a democracy. It is a democratic republic. We democratically elect our representatives. Then they get to cast that unweighted vote. The Founding Fathers decided that a pure democracy could never work because it put too much power in the hands of city-dwellers. But to fully represent the country's interests, they needed the country-dwellers to have a way to balance the greedy, almost voracious nature of cities where impoverished people congregate. Because of course, impoverished people live in the country as well and what the urban folks get, the rural folks cannot have.

Therefore, the popular vote rules supreme in each electoral district. The winner of the popular vote in those districts gets an electoral vote. Period. But the catch is that you need 50% of the electoral votes plus one vote to be elected as President. This means that you have to have wider appeal than purely just city voters.

Yes, Hillary might indeed have carried many cities. But then, she was portraying herself as the queen of socialism via Medicare and expansions of the Affordable Care Act. And a lot of folks saw through the one-sided viewpoint she offered.

well, I think I follow all of this. although it is a heavily economical explanation.

 

[The_Doc_Man]

Economical? Do you mean that I trimmed it down? Yes, that is true.

no, I mean you explained it like an economist and/or political contributor on TV that I almost didn't understand any of it!

It is not my fault if you lack the perspicacity to understand my perspicuity.
