Colonel Panic

Do we REALLY want zombie Reagan and hundreds of others like that running around again? I dunno about you guys, but I’m so tired of living through Interesting Times ™️ and Unprecedented Events ™️. A zombie apocalypse where they don’t eat our brains, but just fuck up the economy even more doesn’t sound fun.

We do not speak of that one. It was a dark time, a chaotic time. Do not utter that name so casually. Many know not of which we speak. May their souls never experience the curse of that knowledge.

It really does have “No fair! I had it first!” energy.

I’m looking forward to being called Dennis and working in the mud all day ranting about different governments.

We should make a server that has a database of all these numbers and let’s you do lookup queries in real time. And we could make that process part of the protocol stack that every device uses.

I think you just invented DNS DNS, or Meta-DNS, MDNS? 🤣

I agree with you all the way up to voting 3rd party.

It has never worked out how everyone thinks it will. Why would this time be different?

We have first past the post here. Meaning first across the finish line. And 2 candidates are neck and neck a few steps from it. You can vote for one of them to pull into the lead a bit OR you can vote for a person still standing at the starting line that has no hope to ever win.

It’s wild to me that people don’t see that. It’s about keeping Trump from winning and ACCELERATING THE GAZA GENOCIDE!!! There just simply isn’t the momentum to elect a 3rd party right now this cycle so close to the end. You have to start that momentum and push WAYYY sooner and be competitive and stay close to the lead or it is over for you.

Voting 3rd party now is like sticking your head in the sand and ignoring reality.

I completely understand that neither main candidate is perfect.

If Trump wins, but your vote could have helped Biden win, how will your conscience handle that? Knowing you could have at least stopped Trump, but didn’t? Is feeling good about your vote going to outweigh the reality if Trump wins?

It’s like refusing to put out a fire with dirty water so you let the whole building burn down. Let’s use the dirty water and stop the fire and THEN clean up the muddy mess from it.

Spoiler: Both are Right Wing parties, so they represent the establishment, not the people or progressive ideals.

We need Ranked Choice Voting so we can vote our conscience and ideals and stop being forced into a lose-lose situation every election.

In years past, CBC (Canada) had a very nice website with schedules and the videos of full events all organized by event. I don’t recall the coverage being overly edited or filled with fluff commentary or only covering the “big” names/events, but seemed pretty broad and unbiased and boring-in-a-good-way. It was really nice. Highly recommended.

A simple VPN to a Canada exit point is all you need. And I guess a plugin or script to download the videos if you wanted them offline. But since you can browse to any event on any day and watch when you want you really don’t need to download anything.

Just like “nothing changed” when Roe was overturned? Got it.

So many people keep arguing past each other on this because there are 2 truths and each side sees their 1 truth as the end-all.

1. Genocide is bad. Biden isn’t doing enough to stop Israel. But, Trump would accelerate it. And also do more genocide here too.
2. We have a FPTP voting system meaning the first candidate across the line wins, so you either vote for A or B. If you abstain from voting or vote 3rd party it does not make any difference whatsoever to the outcome because it is still who crosses the line first. So you have to decide which of the 2 you want, or which of the 2 you DON’T want. And vote accordingly.

Everyone declaring “Genocide Joe” and voting 3rd party is missing the point that doing that could let Trump win. And that would be FAR worse.

And everyone declaring “Blue no matter who” and demonizing the people that want the genocide to end are missing the point that our system is fucked and does not represent us and both candidates are bad. Both candidates are right wing and our country WANTS someone on the left that represents the people, but we simply don’t have that.

If God was real the boxes would all fit in a nice grid for any square container. But the OP already has the conclusion for that one.

True. You can’t have joy without suffering, light without dark, cars without an extended warranty.

It’s like that because the universe wants us to suffer.

You’ve heard of CamelCase and lowercase and intVariableName variable naming styles. Get ready for:

for (int Taiwan == 0; Taiwan < HongKong; Taiwan++) { int TianamenSquare == 0; … }

Are we sure the increasing sperm motility rate isn’t because they are trying to get out of this country?

Viruses, Pyramid Schemes and Capitalism, oh my!

Capitalism is just a complex pyramid scheme. Change my mind.

Where can I find the used cans?

Yeah, you might accidentally bump into him in the hallway and he would stand his ground and gun you down for the audacity.

“I deleted them.”

“You deleted all of them?”

“Yep, not on the website anymore. See.”

“Ok… Good… But I’m watching you.”
