Ask yourself: why did Joe Biden, of all people, win, where Clinton and Harris didnt?

Because he was an already known name that evoked memories of better times. He was Obama’s VP and people liked him in that position, that’s why he won, it’s very simple. Clinton wasn’t VP, wasn’t well liked, and was known to be an unreliable prospect. Harris was not known to the majority of people. Both Clinton and Harris had contentious campaign statements that worried and alienated a significant percentage of their potential voters. Harris, in addition, also was never voted for in a primary, she was simply assigned as Biden’s heir and we were supposed to just run with that and be okay with it. She really never had a chance no matter who she was. Clinton was consistently cringey and reeks of moneyed interests, she was never an attractive option to democratic voters, and would never stand a snowball’s chance in hell of converting any Republican voters like she seemingly wanted to because her husband was one of the favorite Republican whipping boys of all time. They all hate the Clintons, for poorly defined reasons.

and how that’d go down lol.

What, getting your ass beat half to death by Olympian athletes?

Having to log into the service to tell it “I don’t want to use you” is stupid.

You see, this guarantees that you have an account with the service, which means Microslop gets to report rising user engagement numbers.

Does it matter that the “engagement” was telling them to stuff their Onedrive where the sun don’t shine? No, not at all! A new user logged into the service. That’s all they care about.

Yep.

My mother submitted every single photo of me she has to some AI art service, spent the next six months sending me slopped-up photos of myself, and is somehow unable to understand why I might be upset about the situation.

Owning up to your own farts proudly is how one discovers true power.

Blaming the dog is to hide behind a falsehood, in fear of the truth.

The truth is, I farted, and it’s real nasty, and I’m real proud of it. I own this, such that none may wield it against me.

I quit IT work to be a mechanic. It’s exactly the same problem-solving process, but the problems are almost always way less arcane. I’m very happy with the switch.

If you wanted to make the switch yourself, the skill sets are very interchangeable. You’re just debugging an alternator instead of an Active Directory setup. If you have a willingness to learn you’ll be up to speed in under a year.

I picked this server cause the name was funny and it was large enough that I expected not to run into small-server problems.

I stayed because I have not run into any small-server problems and our admin is a very cool guy.

Notice how everyone with a lot of money in our modern world appears to be dumber than shit.

Where do people with a lot of money go to school? Ivy League, every time. How do you get accepted to, and then graduate from, an Ivy League school while being dumber than shit? By making a nice big donation to the school.

I’m willing to bet these things are very correlated.

Very goofy and annoying for modders since if you wanted a useful name you have to first decompile Minecraft, then change all the names, and then when you compile change all references to said names in your code back to their actual obfuscated nonsense.

I expect this is what things like Forge were handling, right?

I’ve spent more time than I care to admit to trying to shoot ki blasts and kamehamehas out of my hands

Somewhere in your city there exists a retired Mexican man driving an SUV with an Igloo cooler in the back full of 300 tamales his wife made this morning. There’s at least one in every big city. These are the tamales you want. You’ll find them at some random street corner near the Home Depot or near a mechanic’s shop and they are some of the best food you’ll ever eat.

And where do you plan to live while you amass this money…?

Constant acceleration at 9.8m/s^2 in a given direction will bring you close to the speed of light eventually, but yeah, I’m also not super sure how this math checks out

Hey. Don’t feel bad about leaving. You’ve done what you could and then did what you needed to in order to keep yourself safe. If what you say is true you’ve done an order of magnitude more work towards a better world than the majority of people.

I think we need good people left in this country to have a chance to try and turn things around, but I’ll never be upset with someone who left for their own good. There’s enough of us that can’t leave, or won’t leave, that we’ll never become irrelevant here. The fight will go on until death do us part, for better or for worse.

You better believe though if the US comes for Greenland I’m going to do everything I can to help my new neighbors

Do it, and don’t feel bad about it. If the US comes for Greenland I’m on the side of Greenland. Same for Canada, same for Mexico, same for anyone else whose sovereign borders are being threatened. Know that no matter what happens you still have friends here on the inside.

Besides which, law enforcement is not legally justified in shooting you damn near no matter what you do. A cop is not a court of law. A cop is not a jury and judge. A cop is not an executioner. Their legal jurisdiction extends to getting you in front of a courtroom and nothing else.

“I like taking the guns early, like in this crazy man’s case that just took place in Florida … to go to court would have taken a long time,” Trump said at a meeting with lawmakers on school safety and gun violence.

“Take the guns first, go through due process second,”

I, for one, specifically go out of my way to not purchase things that have been advertised to me, but I also only see about one ad per year on average, because ads are a known malware vector and not blocking ads is just bad security hygiene. Not having to constantly be force-fed capitalism slop is just a nice side benefit.

But yeah, my particular 'tism mostly manifests as spite in this case, and from what I’ve heard tell from other Lemmings I’m in pretty good company in that regard with this group. We just need to figure out how to export that spite to the common man.

Plagiarism as well as rampant nazi iconography in his videos.

I didn’t believe it at first because I had watched a bunch of his videos and didn’t really get that impression. But the dog whistles were just well hidden. It’s actually really bad.
