    There's actually a theory that dubya changed it up mid sentence to avoid getting quoted as saying "shame on me" which would make for an excellent sound bite.

    Whether that's true or not, I don't know if even he himself knows at this point.

    Fun fact, Dubya, nearly two decades out of lettuce office, is a month younger than the current POTUS.

    Absolutely he changed it mid sentence. Also by comparison with the sad rape sponge they have in office now, Dubya seems moderate!

    I cannot find it now but there was a clip of Bush sitting with Obama and Clinton at Trumps inauguration, he points at Trump and whispers something to Obama and Clinton and they all start killing themselves laughing. I so desperately want to know what he said!

    Yeah. He sounded dumb on TV, but it's like one of those "ordinary person vs Olympian" things. He sounded dumb on TV partly because you're comparing him to excellent speakers. Most people would sound dumb next to Obama. Accounts from people meeting Bush in person generally agree he's smarter than he seems.

    Of course, none of that has anything to do with being at best ineffectual as a president and at worst a war criminal waging wars of aggression. Keeping people like Dick Cheney and Donald Rumsfeld around certainly didn't help.

    What I'm gathering here is that CEO is a bullshit job that requires no effort because how do you have time to keep up with cheating on your wife with at least three different women??

    Who cares at this point? I care more that they were investigating the spy thing a year ago and the trump administration killed it.

    Yes. This story has the potential to be huge. Now that all of media is aware of it, they're going to start pulling at threads.

    Rough summary for others: Rubio straight up told Trump that Huang's girlfriend was a Chinese asset, Trump dismissed that and invited them both on Air Force One with him. Trump's old friend and Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick also dropped her company, Megaspeed, off any blacklists or investigations, and Nvidia sold them chips. All this is happening at the same time Trump is bellowing about how we can't regulate AI companies for fear of Chinese competition.

    This demonstrates, btw, how Trump is technically not a Russian agent, or a Chinese agent, or an Israeli agent... He is just very good at being bribed by organisations who bribe people for a living. You gotta bribe correctly, but if he's bribed, he is worth it.

    Apparently his wife, who he met in college, was quite a successful electrical engineer but gave it up to stay at home and raise their kids.

    And he repays her servitude with being a sleazy pos.

    He could have had the decency to divorce her if he wasn't dedicated to their marriage anymore.

    But obviously, he has no respect for the mother of his children. Or the woman that put her own career aside to help him succeed.

    He did make them tens of billions of dollars. I think that from a purely financial standpoint, she probably did pretty well.

    Money doesn't always (or maybe even usually) give a person purpose or satisfaction in life. We don't know if she wanted to keep her job or was passionate about it or not, but if she did and she was, simply making lots of money doesn't always fill that void. Money doesn't buy happiness, but sometimes it pushes you into unhappiness just as effectively as lack of money does. Financial success is only one facet of feeling like you're successful. Some people might be completely happy living a domestic life to a rich man, but not everyone, and we probably shouldn't assume that it's one way or the other for Jensen's wife.

    "I think everybody should get rich and famous and do everything they ever dreamed of so they can see that it's not the answer." - Jim Carey

    I think it is fitting coming from him because he lived that and saw how hollow it can be. Also explains why he went down the whole anti-vax route for a while desperately trying to find a purpose.

    As someone in academia, being able to pursuing my own adventure and development is very important to me.

    I would be incredibly unhappy to have to give that up.

    And it's not like you can take an 18 year break and go back into it. Your knowledge is outdated.

    If you aren't actively working in the field, you quickly become obsolete.

    So giving it up once is giving it up forever.

    I can appreciate this, however let's keep in mind that whether she divorces him or not, she has access to literally TENS OF BILLIONS OF DOLLARS. She could start an entire university or research lab dedicated to whatever her interests are. Being outdated in a field is a little less relevant when you can hire an army of PhDs and grad students to get you back up to speed.

    I'm not saying your point isn't valid, because it totally is a real concern that normal people have to wrestle with. I am saying that when one goes from working class to having access to essentially the GDP of a state, it's harder to make the argument that one wasted their life on a marriage that didn't pan out.

    Too bad Jensen didn't live in France.

    If a corporate leader or politician doesn't have a mistress or some other extramarital affairs, they're looked at with suspicion.

    To be fair, that may be the natural order of things:

    If you can afford it, why wouldn't a rich and/or powerful male have a harem?

    men and women of power both have had harems for hundreds of years while also having respect for their first wife or husband. Harems by themselves don't mean lack of respect. Its just a different dynamic.

    A single partner or many in both cases you can show respect or disrespect for others.

    You are imposing values from one culture upon a different culture. Respect is shown differently from culture to culture, there isn't some universal way of doing that. So your example isn't really applicable in this situation.

    And what culture do you think i am from? In my culture anything but monogamy is considered a sin and evil. That doesn't mean i cant respect others, understand history, or the basic concept of human consent. It doesn't matter what culture your from. The entire FUCKING point im making here is that no one culture gets to decide what is or isn't right.

    A harem in and of it self means NOTHING one way or another to these facts. What moral value get applied is a whole fucking DIFFERENT point.

    So fuck off.

    Sexual repression has its origins in Judeo Christian monotheistic religion, and religion is the opiate of the masses.

    So go ahead and be a sexually repressed prude.

    It's how the elite want you to behave to keep you under their control.

    If you're going to fuck a bunch of people, make sure your partner is aware and approves. If they don't, either don't go fucking around, or get out of the relationship. If you cheat, you're a cunt.

    What if the affair is with the CEO of a Singaporean data center company that your company sells chips to who is also a Chinese spy who directs those chips to China, which is a serious violation of US trade law, and then you introduced that spy to the president of the United States, whose administration then dropped its investigation into that spy's company?
