Is this you?

This but it’s Black History Month is another good variation.

Oh yeah, that’s really helpful. That’s just dimissing the entire point that they’ve created a barrier to voting, and Washington alone has over 5 million registered voters, with an average of 4 million ballots cast in Presidential elections and 2 million ballots cast in mid-term elections. That’s still 2 million fucking people you have to figure out an all new process for in less than six months. Less than that if the court fucking dawdles while making a stay on it and not actually coming down with a ruling in favor of Trump until closer to the election.

You’re just saying exactly what I am saying is the problem: You’ve got a massive number of people to do this with, and in less than six months you have to figure out how to create a new system from scratch from the old system, in a way to get around it, and in a way that Trump doesn’t get whiff of and write another EO for like “don’t deliver mail with no return address in blue states.” We shouldn’t have to be doing anything at all, and the reason he is doing it this fucking way is to make it harder on everyone. Stop dismissing making the job harder and more likely to have mistakes made which will give Trump even more reasons to discredit votes from those states.

If you think it’s so simple why don’t you sign the fuck up to be Secretary of State for Oregon or Washington?

That’s just arguing semantics on what evolution means.

First definition for Evolution in Merriam-Webster: “Descent with modification from preexisting species.” Sure sounds a fuckload like what turning humans into AI is to me.

Further, I don’t understand why everyone fucking believes the idea that being in a computer means you can live forever. Last I checked, some of these LLMs for major companies require buildings the size of a whole section of a city, with the power requirements to boot. We are nowhere near where we need to be with materials science to be having factories with no humans in them auto fabricating and auto replacing parts as they go bad. RAM still fails, CPUs still fail, power supplies still fail. The “living forever” thing rests pretty heavily on some major assumptions of everything going exaclty perfectly and that they’re not just building the equivalent of the Pyramids, digital tombs for their now digital brains that will keep running as the outside world slowly decays until their systems stop working and nature takes over once again.

And if it weren’t, states would likely just ignore it and continue to run their own elections like they always have been.

Well, Oregon and Washington have all-mail-in-voting.

If ballots are not being delivered to voters homes by USPS, that actually is a major issue.

You can’t vote without your ballot, and in these states your ballot is mailed to you for you to return.

So if USPS is refusing to deliver ballots to people not on the Federal registry, that means people won’t get their ballots to begin with, which is actually something that Washington and Oregon don’t control since USPS is Federal.

Trump signed a sweeping executive order in March that, in part, ordered the Postal Service to only send mail ballots to voters on lists created and controlled by the federal government.

It means that both States will have to run around trying to figure out how to get the ballots to the voters to begin with. This isn’t about not delivering them once they have already voted, this is about delivering the ballot that allows them to vote to begin with. If those ballots go undelivered, the voters who did not recieve ballots cannot vote. They can run their own elections, but they aren’t in control of the Post Office.

The only other options will be for the states to throw together a last minute ramshackle operation to get people to come in and physically get their ballots, which takes time, effort, and becomes a barrier to voting. Which is obviously the fucking point.

How the fuck is this even supposed to work at all in Oregon and Washington?

Oh right, it’s not, and the point is to completely disenfranchise those states from a national election entirely.

morphing into a different species is just not something we have a word for because it’s never happened before.

Oh man wait until you hear about some of the ideas from this Charles Darwin guy!

Oh absolutely, but the fact that he can and does listen to experts means he may just be willing enough to listen to experts and do some socially ingratiating things even if he as a person doesn’t actually care about them. Zuck is an evil asshole, but I don’t actually think he’s stupid.

He’s actually in shape in a healthy way, he’s not roided up at all. He’s out there practicing and succeeding. I can’t stand the fucking guy, but the idea that he’s totally soft when he’s the only billionaire I’ve seen who actually does stuff like listen to his coaches is silly. Footage of him training shows that he has amazing coaches (he obviously can afford the best) and he definitely listens to them.

RIP Norm.

Wow, and I thought I was the only one who actually thought Aloy was really pretty but also didn’t understand the accolades for the writing which seemed very one note and had flat character development.

It’s hilariously sad because it all hinges on them somehow keeping complete control over everyone after all the systems that brought them to the level of wealth they have will be broken and gone. They fail to understand that they succeeded in a system where they didn’t have to fear someone cutting their head off to take their place as the new leader of the bunker or will just cut off their head and just fucking leave the bunker behind with their corpse left rotting all alone. When all rules and order are out of the window, they are 100% reliant on their precious technology to continue being in control. All it takes is a failure of ONE of those systems for it to all come crashing down and for their head of security to become a new local warlord. They literally are textbook definitions of “hubris.”

Only Zuckerberg actually seems to be considering that aspect in terms of his physical training and fighting training. I wouldn’t be surprised if he’s also had extensive firearms training, honestly. Out of all of them I can see him having the self-discipline to actually learn the skills he would need to survive after retreating to a bunker. He may still come off like a robot, but he’s clearly a little bit more put together than the rest of them, who are either roided out freaks like Bezos or idiots like Musk who couldn’t even get roided up correctly because he’s so fucking lazy.

These people are not clever.

Then this ones for you.

Might want to put a warning that this may be “habit forming.” Yuk yuk yuk.

Neat little app, although I don’t think it will help me stop picking my nose.

I gotta pee so bad I can taste it.

With the way the Trump admin is going I’m surprised they haven’t totallt dismantled the ADA already.

1. People without a mobile device are fucked out of being able to pass a captcha

2. As if this isn’t a way for them to associate multiple sessions on multiple specific devices with one another, this is just another avenue for data collection, period. Hidden under the guise of “more secure.”
