Something about why you shouldn't wrestle with a pig.

  I think the sentiment changes when the pig owns the farm
  - bryanrasmussen 8mo ago
    If memory serves me correctly then it ends up you won't be able to tell the difference between the pigs and the humans anymore.

    Ya that one is a bit more Orwellian as an ending.

Maybe for the wikipedia article. People get really into technicalities.

  I know, right? Look at this, what Liv Ullman said. https://deadline.com/2026/01/norwegian-star-liv-ullmann-comments-trump-nobel-peace-prize-1236686028/ https://deadline.com/2026/01/norwegian-star-liv-ullmann-comm... I don’t understand what Liz Ullmann means here. The Nobel people said the prize can’t be revoked, shared, or transferred so it is just the gold medal that María Corina Machado gave to Trump. It is a very nice medal to have! But it isn’t anything to get upset about if she chooses to give her medal to someone. Norway isn’t going to invade the USA to get it back. >“I’m Norwegian, we give a Nobel Prize to somebody who deserved it and suddenly that Nobel Prize is going to somebody else. It’s so strange, so strange and that’s why I’m happy specifically now that we have laws that say that if you misuse the Nobel Prize we take it away from you. Somebody in power in the United States may be disappointed. He will lose it… I am happy.”

a lot of tech bros voted for this

  Unfortunately, there is no past tense here, and he has a lot of support in the US.

    I know a bunch of them who voted for him, it's unfortunate, often tied to single issues.
  - gdilla 8mo ago
    fortunately, his support is declining. Except maybe among white men.

Maybe this is a not-so-subtle way of telling him that he lacks the personality to ever earn one. Maybe they are hoping that if he understands that, he'll stop doing ridiculous things in the attempt. If that is their motive, they should give up because he is never going to learn.

Well, you always hope there is some overlap between those, who need it to be said, those, that you can reach, and those, where it will make the tiniest bit of difference.
