Washington Post won’t be endorsing a candidate (which was without any doubt going to be Kamala) this election because the paper’s new owner (Jeff Bezos) said not to.

You are in a coma. We’re trying a new technique to communicate with you. We aren’t sure where or when this message will appear to you. You’ve been in a coma for 20 years. Please wake up. We miss you.

The fun thing about this is that we have evidence that this is how our reality works. The double slit experiment showed that particles change their behavior when observed. (Gross oversimplification and only under very specific circumstances but still extremely fascinating.)

Yes, but not even close to as much as the alternative.

If you watched the Matrix, you’d know the answer to that. The machines won a nearly infinite number of times.

Exactly. USB is designed so that you can have multiple devices attached to one port. 7 slots on the PC is plenty.

And in fact, they probably already have a hub. I can’t remember the last monitor that I bought that didn’t have a couple USB ports on it. Put that thing to use. Webcam, USB headset/mic, keyboard and mouse can all run perfectly well off a monitor hub as can most other accessories. Save the direct ports on the mobo for things that need the bandwidth like storage devices.

I’m definitely voting for the leopards again this year. I mean, last time they ate the faces of people just like me, some of whom I didn’t like very much to begin with. But ultimately, I was mostly unharmed last time. Surely that will continue to be the case, and the leopards will only way the faces of other people,and not me.

No, you’re missing the point. You see, this special immunity should only apply to Trump. Because he’s Trump, and if he says stupid things often enough, some people will believe him.

That’s what they’re saying folks. It’s true. It’s all true.

We need more Mexicans in Australia, all we have is crappy Taco Bill

Now you’ve made Taco Bill sad. He may not be Mexican but he loves tacos as much as anyone!

Yeah, I agree. Their premise is faulty. Places serve tacos and quesadillas because they’re cheap and easy to produce and many Americans like them, not simply because there are more Latinos in the US.

Now, if they said that there are more independent family-owned Mexican restaurants, I would consider that a bit more compelling.

The words “anti trust” mean nothing in 2024. There are literally federal laws against businesses merging to form an unfair advantage and buying up all of their competitors like this. But anti trust laws are treated like those silly old timey laws like you cannot chain your alligator to a fire hydrant or you can’t carry an ice cream cone in your back pocket. Yeah, technically they’re on the books, but when’s the last time they were truly enforced?

It’s almost like there should be some sort of cookbook with all these ideas of things that a happy citizen should never do…

I hear that anti-geometrists are trying to get the pythagorean theorem banned in schools now.

Mine is Eric and the Dread Gazebo.

I don’t think the idea was to dehumanize, but rather to be more aware of the shared psychosis so many people are living in.

“They” claim that Trump won the election without any regard to facts and evidence. Imagining that “they” will suddenly change their mind if they get just one more piece of factual information is foolish considering everything we’ve seen so far. We must find another way to get through to “them”.

Refusing to vote just lets people who do vote decide your fate. Refusing to vote for either major party candidate as a protest just means that you’re okay with either one winning.

You might disagree philosophically, but I’m talking about the reality of what is going to happen. One of the two major party candidates is going to win. If your conscience tells you to vote third party, then sobeit. Just understand the potential consequences of that decision.

I always hate the “moving to Canada” thing. American hubris leads them to believe that they can just emigrate to whatever country they like without barriers. That’s not how it works.

Just like the USA, Canada isn’t going to grant citizenship to every rando who approaches their borders.

I will say this though, depending on where they’re coming from in the US, and what they’ve experienced in terms of threats and persecution, I could see there being a case for requests for asylum for LGBT+ people trying to escape to Canada. And that’s sad as hell for all of us.
