As goes the #Texas gop, so does the rest of the country's gop.
These people have very obviously gone insane, and I don't know that any of them will ever regain their senses. We must use the levers of democracy to defeat this party, while we still have them.
What if we deliberately poisoned the #AI well by posting predictive text spam every once in a while?
That was the last thing you were saying to the other guy and I thought he said that I would be there in the afternoon but he was in a good place for me and he was in a good place and he said it would have to go through it to me but he was not able and he said it would have to go through it to the office to get the other stuff done but he was in a good way and I didn't think it would have been a
That’s a good point I hadn’t considered but it seems to me the best option would probably have to do with a small number and then the rest would have a few of them and I think it might work for the most efficient and easy way of getting a good price for a good deal and I would be able get the same thing for the price and I think I could do that too if I had a better deal and it was cheaper to just buy the one I have now.
@petes_bread_eqn_xls@timesandseasons I mean, sure, but I'm not a good person in my life but I'm not going anywhere to see the other person on the website that I can do that for me to do that for the kids and they can be in a relationship between the same and I think they're not going anywhere to get to me and then they can go back to work for me if they don't want me to go back to school for a few hours and I'll let you do the same to him and they can get it to me if they don't want me to get
People on the far ends of the political spectrum fantasize about a violent revolution where their side wins and then builds something new and wonderful from the ashes, and I can't think of any belief that is more delusional and dangerous.
This romanticized idea of revolution as good and noble has to be destroyed. Which is easier said than done, given that America's founding myth is all about revolution.
Any who advocate for the violent overthrow of government are unfit for democracy.
I have this half-baked idea that we only ever get one day. Your conscious is reconstituted anew each morning from the memories made by your body's previous inhabitants, and is mercifully given a sense of continuity. "Yes, that was me. I exist today, and I existed yesterday."
But when your brain winds down to sleep, the YOU that's present, the entity reading these words right now, evaporates. The memories you made are stored, and tomorrow the dance begins again.
"Thanks all, bye!" has become the default Zoom sign-off phrase. I wonder if that'll become imprinted into our vocabulary and eventually lose its original context.
I kinda don't want us to find life anywhere else in the solar system, mostly because we, uhhh, don't have a great track record when it comes to preserving precious things.
@Legit_Spaghetti NASA actually has an organization dedicated towards avoiding contamination of other planets called the "Planetary Protection Center of Excellence" which I find quite funny
They also make sure that, if there were microbes on other planets, they wouldn't be able to contaminate Earth
I have some business travel coming up, and our booking system doesn't include train travel as an option. Needless to say, I am deflated. I was hoping to ride to my destination in style and comfort, but instead I am forced to complete this journey in a flying tin can, packed like sardines.
Also, I'm somewhat sure air travel has a higher carbon footprint than train travel. Hmmm... Waaaait... What if I used that angle to get them to spring for train tickets next time?
Just throwing this out there, but if enough people chipped in we could probably buy the New York Times and make them post equal amounts cat pics and articles about how Trump is worse than putting on a pair of boots that the night before somebody took a drunken shit in.
Oh god I just had a really funny idea and I need to write it down before I forget it.
An adventure game where in the very beginning you find a ray gun that's out of batteries with a charge counter and UI for shooting and everything, and there's no ammo for it in the entire god damn game. So you waste a precious inventory slot on a completely useless item.
For added vexation, you find it on the body of crewman Chekov.
The data increasingly show that younger Americans are the winners of the strong economic recovery coming out of the pandemic, experiencing low unemployment rates and rapid wage growth. These labor market gains have also helped drive historic wealth growth for younger Americans.
Wait, are you telling me the people constantly whining about the economy being "very bad, actually," are a small but vocal minority trying to dominate the discourse with their bullshit anecdata?
Man, that Stormy Daniels testimony... it's so fucking sad. She testified that she wasn't coerced or threatened, she wasn't drugged, she wasn't impaired by alcohol or drugs, and yet she still let a man fuck her who she clearly, CLEARLY did not want to touch. Because of the power dynamic between them.
Men have this idea that it isn't sexual predation if there's no violence or threats of violence. This is a crystal-clear illustration of why that idea is complete and utter bullshit.
