That's how you end up arguing whether any sick time is on the table and then the government steps in and says no sick time now back to work. Don't ask for just any sick time. Ask for fucking 2 months of paid leave for all workers and a $300,000 salary.

I wonder if you use a series of controlled taps you can get a screw to screw in with a hammer.

The hold outs for these sites are so fucking dumb. They act like social media is somehow an important part of their existence when just 10, 20 years ago it was an emerging technology. These early iterations of social media are toxic as fuck. YouTube, Facebook, Twitter, etc. They don't deserve your patronage and are taking your goodwill and turning it into social decay.

10-20 years and you people can't give it up for something better. There is no argument. You don't owe them loyalty. They aren't innovating. They have contributed to the rise of authoritarianism.

Yeesh.

I'm trying man but all I see is hate and fear win. Like just now I was thinking we know trumps going to make another authoritarian grab for power. No matter the results. I know they put some protections in if he loses and they seem pretty decent.

What about if he wins, though?

He's signaled his intent should we not warn our citizens about what to do when certain things happen?

When Trump exercises the new powers that the supreme court granted him, what should the people do?

When Trump expels anyone not loyal to him from the government? What do we do?

When he opens concentration camps to round up immigrants, what should we be doing?

It's all but too late but how stupid it would be if the DNC left it all up to chance.

It's pessimistic but it does help calibrate you on what to be grateful for. Say, somehow, we are on the brink of a utopia and we just don't know it. Except the people today won't be alive to experience it. For us, this would be as good as it gets.

That one article claiming to have cured a person with type I diabetes. I don't really put stock into it but at one point HIV was thought to be incurable and they made breakthroughs like this, one at a time.

I'll go. One thing that always gives me pause is crime rates are way down in the US.

Tim has come out guns blazing. I'd let him go head to head against Vance with no fact checks. I just wish they'd get rid of the moderators, though, if they aren't going to moderate.

Just put a jar between them and they can pull a card if the discussion dies down.

Sorry you thought I was being prescriptive. Oh well.

 

Beep boop. I am robot.. beep boop I have no emotion.

ITT: the 30 some odd people who that have transcended human desire.

I really can't tell. Did I flush the trump supporters out with this post? Are people so offended that a beautiful person could be a NAZI? Or am I just too blunt and to admit I don't go around imagining everyone is morally upright really makes people uncomfortable. Aka I'm an ass. Let me know cause I've said some dumb shit but this one hit a nerve.

Interesting article

Trying to prep myself for when they foxify all social media platforms.

Edit: you all better be careful saying you don't see any of it. Leon might catch wind.
