"Why can't a narcissist who is also an extremely racist person with basically zero impulse control stop himself from alienating black voters?"
I mean, I don't know, seems confusing to me. /s
This is literally who Trump has always been and now that he's spinning into dementia just like his father, his impulse control has worsened.
In 1989, this guy took out a full page ad to attack the Central Park Five and demand the death penalty for them. He still refuses to apologize, despite their long-proven innocence.

“You have people on both sides of that,” he said at the White House. “They admitted their guilt.”
“If you look at Linda Fairstein and if you look at some of the prosecutors, they think that the city never should have settled that case — so we’ll leave it at that,” he added, referring to the former prosecutor who was running the Manhattan district attorney’s sex crimes unit at the time.
This is who he has always been. At this point, he literally cannot stop himself, because of total lack of impulse control.
EDIT: Don't let it be lost on you that a convicted rapist wanted the death penalty for a rape crime. It's always projection.
Copying and pasting something I said elsewhere just the other day, because it fits:
However, I do think it’s also cultural in the tech companies. The modern tech culture was borne from an attitude that was 100% rooted in “well the law says we can’t do this, so we’ll do this instead, which is different on a technical and legal level, but achieves the same end-result.”
This was heavily evident in early piracy, which went from centralized servers of Napster and Kazaa to the decentralized nature of Bittorrent entirely in response to civil suits for piracy. It was an arms race. Soon enough the copyright holders responded by hiring third parties to hide in torrent swarms to be able to log IPs and hit people “associated” with those IPs with suits for sharing trivial amounts of copyrighted data with the third party. That was responded to with private trackers, and eventually, streaming.
Each step was a technical response to an attempt by society to legally regulate them. Just find a new technical way that’s not regulated yet!
The modern tech companies never lost that ethos of giving technical responses to route around new legal regulation. Which, in itself, is further enabled by capitalism, as you astutely pointed out.
This isn't meant to be an indictment against regular ass people and internet piracy, but it's more about pointing out the leaders in the tech industry at large have always had a similar mindset to the pirates. That their response to attempted regulation of their industry has always been to ignore the spirit of the regulation and attempt to achieve the same result through technically wonkery as opposed to legal wonkery.
I mean, you don't have to look farther than Sean Parker from Napster. Guy still has oodles of money and connections from running what amounted to an illegal business model at the time. He's still heavily involved in lots of major tech groups with oodles of money.
You're just not dealing with rational or good faith actors if their response to any attempt to reign them in is to avoid the attempt to be reigned in by changing how the tech works.
Everybody calm down. There's a reason that the 2Aers won't get mad about this.
This is as racist of a dog whistle as you can get. Lots of people are aware "stop and frisk" really means "stop and frisk minorities and plant drugs and weapons when you can."
So it's perfectly in line with the "law and order" bullshit. Don't expect a lot of anger about these comments. To the shitheads, these comments are directed at the "right" people. Cops wouldn't stop and frisk them, they think, because cops know that they're a law abiding citizen by the color of their skin.
Racists gonna fuckin racist, man. First gun control we ever got in the USA was because white people got freaked out by black people with guns.
I would guess the number one way he was found was internal security systems in each of the hacked systems.
Cybersecurity involves lots of automated systems that "alert" system admins when it comes to strange patterns.
Like... This user is logging in from an unrecognized IP from an unrecognized geo-location during a time the user usually would be asleep. The user in question has never logged into the system from that area or IP, nor do they do it when they're off the clock in the middle of the night. These unusual details would trigger an alert sent to a sysadmins cell phone, and from them they would begin digital forensics to try to pick up the trail of who this was.
Okay, so you're just a crazy person. Got it.
Pro-tip: This sounds as fucking bonkers as that Sovereign Citizen shit, man. Get a fucking grip.
Maybe to commemorate one of the first viral posts, about not pooping for three days, it could be Poop Day.

A lemming is a type of rodent, and so is a jerboa.

Have you considered adding a manually configured route for each of these networks to find each other?
If the auto-generated routes aren't able to find it, I would personally manually add the route on both ends (give 192.168.11.0/24 a path to 192.168.10.0/24 and vice versa) to see if that changes anything.
Occasionally, you just have to tell computers what to do.
EDIT: said "path" when I meant "route"
I just feel like a loser who is dead weight on everyone else's life. So I don't do a good job of keeping in touch with anyone, ever.
I hunger for connection, but I assume everyone else is in the same boat: overworked, underpaid, unable to make time, and already has a boatload of problems, they don't need one more person who needs support, so why bother wasting their time.

Now that I agree with.
I can't shake this vision from my head when looking at Tim Walz and all the "Are you employed, Mr. Lebowski" energy his look brings.
Hope this isn't seen as too political or endorsing a specific candidate. It has more to do with how much Tim Walz looks like The Big Lebowski. Not trying to upset anyone as much as be a dork, hope the Achievers see it for that. If its not appropriate, removing it is fine. No real loss.
I'm bored and making Hundreds of Beavers gifs.
We're heading to New Vegas in Season 2, and this is the only character I really would like to see resurface, mostly because Yes Man saved me from never finishing New Vegas. I was starting to get bored with the plot and Yes Man brought me back in.
Dave Foley killed as it Yes Man, and I would love to see him back in the role. I was a big fan of Foley from Kids in the Hall/News Radio days, and I was overjoyed when I ran into Yes Man and recognized his voice. Dave Foley has exactly the kind of absurd cheery demeanor a character like Yes Man needs.
Further, I'm going to assume the Courier/Yes Man taking over the Strip ending of New Vegas probably isn't canon, it means there's ample opportunity potentially for Yes Man to continue being the best Yes Man that he is.
Hell, I'd love to see any of the Kids in the Hall in Season 2, honestly. Kevin McDonald keeps looking weirder every fucking year, he would fit in with wastelanders. Hell, the new Kids in the Hall season was an Amazon Prime show, and both Kevin and Dave went full frontal nudity with their weird old bodies. They're the right kind of fit for the wasteland.
I would also think Foley's "Doomsday DJ" sketch is a great example of why they need him in Season 2 of Fallout.
I literally do blame the Democrats for Trump, and if you don't, you weren't paying attention.
Plenty of us were critiquing Clinton's campaign on those merits and were consistently talked down to in shocker the same way we're being talked down to now. Shocker, she lost. I remember saying a few weeks before the election "We're about to get Brexited." I put my vote down for Clinton, because Trump is fucking insane, and that was clear before he was President. It was clear in the fucking 1980's.
Being able to critique our leaders is supposed to be what is the difference between us and conservative voters. They're the cult who unquestioningly believes all the bullshit that comes out of Trump's mouth and diapers. I find it weird that people think we should be more like them in regards to our leaders like that would be a good thing.
