Nobody Important; everybody knows, and no one cares.

No.

You want to label a specific brand of Power of Attorney called, “civil unions” that give you joint legal control/ownership/beneficiary rights than can be entered into (or exited out of) by two adults of the same sex?

Totally fine - but *Marriage* according to scripture is a very specific, God ordained institution that with children presents an earthly reflection of the Trinity.

You may personally not have a “problem” with other expressions of it, but as a Christian we are called to obedience which means recognizing things are not what we want them to be, but what God proclaims that they are.

The first is unethical, but was potentially survivable until it looked like Huang almost certainly had a rotation of women both known and unknown.

The second is reckless, and always had an expiry date. Circle jerks can’t last forever no matter how enthusiastic the participants are.

The third, if proven true, is the unforgivable one and will -depending on the extend of what is both provably and revealable- will damage the entire industry and likely invalidate all of Huang’s lobbying efforts at best, and accomplish the exact opposite at worst.

@platos_son @EternalFaithEO That’s what heretics do.

@jescomurph2 @DipWheeler Oooo someone knows about ball.

[Branden R Thompson @BRThompsonator]

@DipWheeler This is an elite-tier reference; esp if you know the context of this episode.

I think anyone attempting to argue against the values we rhetorically call, “Western Civilization,” is either *not part of the West * and engaging in active conquest/warfare, or is a non-serious / demoralized person luxuriating in the pseudo-intellectual masturbation of their designer-brand beliefs while being protected by those willing to exercise force defending the space and their ability to do so.

I think you have the right instinct in the American Liberty Party, just with the wrong approach vector; the commies, marxists, and “illiberal left” took over the Democratic Party proper - they didn’t use their co-opting of the Green party or “Peace and and Freedom” party to overcome the anti-Marxist “uniparty” - all activities were directed to ultimately capture the mainline institutions that actually have their hands on the levers of power. The Green and PnF party might have helped, but they didn’t do much in the ballot box (and except Nader in what… 96? 2000?).

What is your thinking around why we shouldn’t engage in the same approach or how doing something else would create the intended result.

The only steel-man I can legitimately fathom here is time-table/urgency : maybe forcing the hand with the ALP will accomplish in years what took the Marxist/illiberal left decades?

[Branden R Thompson @BRThompsonator]

@caitoz @22NamB @BretWeinstein Pfffff heheheheheheheh…

You are not a serious person.

[Branden R Thompson @BRThompsonator]

::sigh:: see - this is what happens when you don’t eat enough animal proteins in your diet. Your synapses are muddling things in that vegan brain of yours.

There are - at least at the time of this posting - three (3) different not-his-wife women Huang was banging….that we know of.

Two (2) were NVIDIA employees - those are the two you should be doing your whole #meToo #patriarchy - “I can’t believe a man would use his power to abuse women like that,” script for.

One (1) of the three was an alleged spy and the owner of the Singaporean shell companies that may have been used to circumvent sanctions. This where you apply your commie “greedy capitalist - he’s selling out our country for PROFIT!!! can you believe it!?!?!?” script.

Three chicks - two different circumstances, unethical at best, potentially treasonous at worst.

This isn’t hard.

@gyeon_baeg I'd be more easily convinced this is a photo of Bruce and Linda Lee.

"If I see an executive in my company that doesn't have a condom-spend of at least $250,000 this year... I'm gonna have some serious questions for that executive."

....wait. I might have gotten that quote wrong.... was it a $250K or $500K in condom spend..... 🧐🧐🧐

[Branden R Thompson @BRThompsonator]

Gotcha - it would probably be something like:

"Our great company was the victim of evil capitalist American pig-dog espionage. Fortunately, our great leaders of the CCP heroically prevented any of our superior Chinese-led technology and innovation from falling into the hands of the the imperialist, capitalist American pig-dogs.

Comrade <businessman>, in light of this horrific act of aggression will be stepping away to spend time with his family, and will be with them everyday in their wonderful house and totally won't disappear. That's a CCP-pinkie-promise.

The Imperialist jezebel, <full name> has seen the error of her wicked, reactionary ways and has fully confessed to her transgressions against the great People of China. Her trial was yesterday, has been convicted, and will begin her restitution to the people shortly."

...that'd be my guess.

[Branden R Thompson @BRThompsonator]

Absolutely not.

I'm an American - and so I would be ABSOLUTELY 1,000,000% FDA-CERTIFIED A-OKAY with the US engaging in corprate espionage against a strategic adversary.

I would say I hope the US is STEALING THE EVER-LOVING FUCK out of anything worth stealing from China. They've been doing it since the 90s under the Clinton administration ...but the reality is the US is the one with the research and technology worth stealing.

However, I would totally expect China to ARREST and JAIL BOTH of them:

- One for corporate espionage violations (the US National)
- One for treason (The Chinese business man)

See? This is easy.

[Branden R Thompson @BRThompsonator]

The exact same thing I've been saying now:

1. Jensen was dumb, and at best was unethical fucking subordinates. His 'resignation' is his own fault, and if this was an 'external plot,' he's even more retarded for literally giving them the proverbial knife they used to stab him.

2. If it turns out he knowingly engaged in sanction-busting, he should be charged, AND if convicted - he should be jailed. Right Away.

3. If 2 is TRUE is and he's NOT changed, then:

3A. that's fucked up
3B. there's no excuse for it.

4. If it's found government officials deliberately prevented 2 from happening:

4A. That's corruption.
4B. Sounds like a violation of 18 USC 2381 to me.
4C. Those officials should be held accountable, even if that means Donald Trump.

See - because I'm (at least trying to) operate on principle, this not a hard question to A) answer and B) be consistent.

How 'bout you?

[Branden R Thompson @BRThompsonator]

@willdepue OOPS.

[Branden R Thompson @BRThompsonator]

...this is an interesting digression.

"Just can’t get on board with the idea that any human is worth saving."

That's not what, "The Word" says - if fact The Word says that NO ONE is "worth" saving, but God __condescends__ and **chooses** to save us through Christ.

"The LORD is before you. I will be gracious to whom I will be gracious, and I will have compassion on whom I will have compassion." ( Exod. 33:19 / Rom. 9:15 )

[Branden R Thompson @BRThompsonator]

Oooo okay, I see we need a quick refresher on, "' NOT A' does not always equal 'B'"

The original claim/point was, "This is total BS because JH is getting railroaded by external malevolent forces."

We'll call that 'A'

My counter-point is: "Jensen only has himself to blame for choosing to do things either NVIDIA or these conspirators used to oust him in this situation."

We'll call that 'NOT A.'

You're claiming my argument is, "if JH does not fuck with certain chicks, then he will be fine.,"

We'll call that 'B'

Do you see the difference between what I claimed, "Jensen is ultimately to blame for being in the situation he's in," and "If he didn't fuck certain chicks, he'd be fine?"

It avoids the fact that there's a legitimate appearance he's engaged in sanction-bypassing. It avoids the fact that we know know he's fucked at LEAST 2 company employees - opening NVIDIA to #meToo bullshit claims and lawsuits.

Your point here:

"a perfect man can still get crushed"

*is* true - but it applies to everything. So when it comes to trying to understand, "what's specifically different or going on with this situation," it's worthless.

'A perfect man can always get crushed by the powerful.'

Okay. So what? Would those same actors done this had he *not* slept with a spy, employees, and potentially illegally, or at least "suspiciously" sold technology to companies that may have funneled to our adversaries?

Maybe. Maybe not. Maybe it would have made Jensen a martyr and thus not worth the 2nd and 3rd order effects (like the Jesus analogy) - but because we'll never know and this could apply to anyone at anytime for any comprehensible reason - that's a less than worthless point to make this situation.

Hopefully that helps connect some dots - and why your original Jesus analogy actually doesn't make the point you think it does.

[Branden R Thompson @BRThompsonator]

maybe true.... and Jensen gave the very conspirators the knife to stab him with.

An Occam's alternative - "CEO of world's most valuable company makes serially poor choices, opportunistic actors leverage CEOs habit of making poor choices to their advantage."

Your take on this will age in inverse proportion to the scale of Jensen's unethical and improprietous his behavior; the more we find, the more this tweet will age like mik.

@cathaiku575 @thecyrusjanssen "When you see 3 ants in your kitchen, the total number of ants in your kitchen is probably not 3."

[Branden R Thompson @BRThompsonator]

You are likely more correct than we'll ever definitively know.

The folks that understand OPSEC and have the money to pay for what it requires don't get caught, or at worst surround themselves with "friends" (people not on any traceable payroll) to keep them from fucking themselves over.

[Branden R Thompson @BRThompsonator]

I would absolutely agree that this is provable-to-the-point-of-a-law-of-physics for content aimed at women in particular (see also: Every romance novel and/or Hallmark Christmas Special).

The deflection of "this is just about sex," is the same flavor the Blue team was making in the 90s about the Lewinsky scandal when it was about the willful obstruction of justice (the actual crime).

My point has been something else entirely: the only thing that matters here is that Jensen gave NVIDIA and/or any external malevolent actors everything they ever could have possibly wanted to easily get rid of him.

Had Jensen made different choices, even at worst just divorcing Lori if he was that unhappy in the marriage, neither he nor NVIDIA would likely be in this situation.
