Aaah I misunderstood. Thanks for clarifying

Gotcha. Thanks for clarifying. I disagree with your opinion that both Trump and Harris voters are genocide supporting fascists, but I can see how the rest of the logic fits if you start with that as your foundational principle.

Agree with the theory, but in practice what happens is the parties simply focus on courting the people who do vote and shift their attention to them even more, ratcheting the discourse further to the side that tends to have voters show up more reliably. It’s far cheaper and easier to nudge a willing and reliable buyer (in this case, voter) to buy your wares than it is to go out and bring new buyers into the existing market. Not impossible, but I personally don’t have faith in the plutocratic two party system the US has to self-reflect and seek out those disengaged voters instead of taking the easy route and pandering to the existing and reliable voter pool (at least not in the short term).

you people

Who exactly do you think I am, what do you think my beliefs are, and what are those opinions based on? And what in the ever loving fuck are you talking about with the rest of your comment?

My friend, you’ve lost the plot. The OC was about not letting others discourage you from voting, either through false equivalence or impotence-driven abstention. The fact that you somehow took that and turned into a misdirected diatribe against fascism, Mussolini, and the rest is impressive, if not sad.

Not what fascism is, but alright. You do you. Good luck with that moral superiority. I’m sure it’ll make a real, tangible difference in the real world any day now.

Bud, take a deep breath and go for a walk. I’m not your enemy. Nor am I a fascist.

Your anger at your impotence, while understandable, is misdirected. I agree that the US veneer of “democracy” is thin at best and laughable considering the corpocratic influence and control of media, elections, and politics in the US. But you are still allowed to voice your choice without fear of consequence or repraisal from the government. That by definition makes it democratic.

Your premise is disingenuous and/or purposefully limited. You’re artificially pegging the value of voting against a single issue outcome, but that’s not how voting works. As previously stated by OC, there are a number of issues on the ballot. Your premise that votes are not important because they won’t change the outcome of a single issue does not mean that we can extend that same to all other issues and nullify the value of voting altogether.

Also, OC’s comment said nothing about anyone being required to vote, rather it’s simply pointed out that anyone demanding you not exercise your only influence option does not have your specific best interests in mind.

It’s basic game theory. You can be pissed and dehumanize people as much as you want, but there is exactly 0% chance that neither one will be elected today. Considering the fact that elections aren’t single issue referendums, complaining about people not throwing away their only voice and change influence option (their vote) is sophomoric and naive.

Yeah, they’re morons, but nowhere there do they claim they “defeated covid.” What their statement implies is that they (in this case incorrectly) believed this event was not likely to be a spreader event due to overall lower numbers and impacts of covid nationally compared to 4 years ago. It does not imply that “they” specifically “defeated covid”, that’s clearly a feelings-driven logical leap on your part.

Who claimed “they defeated [covid]”?

Change your shit asap. Anyone who has access to it can theoretically auth as you on any site or product that uses that 2fa setup. They would still need to have your underlying credentials that would initiate the 2fa protocol exchange anyway, but if they have access to your underlying 2fa secret, its not too far fetched to believe they may have other credentials potentially, depending on how you’ve secured the access and where you store your credentials. To be safe and not paranoid, it’s best to just do a root trust rotation and cycle the underlying auth creds

Oh no, two complementary green energy sources! Better spin it as a competition and pile on the doom and gloom

Fascinating that you insist on marginalizing and othering individuals you’ve never met using the same prejudiced language you claim to be against. You’re just perpetuating the class divide and allowing those with actual power and influence to further keep you powerless by preemptively disavowing coalitions that don’t pass a racial purity test.

Disagree. Even if this goes through, it reads more like a liability waiver: it’s power is more in the chilling effect vs. actual teeth in enforcement

1. It’s not illegal. 2. “Law” isn’t a real thing in an oligarchy, except insofar as it can be used by those with capital and resources to oppress and subjugate those they consider their lessors and to further perpetuate the system for self gain

Yeah, ok, good luck enforcing that

You know that “anti commercial AI license” shit does nothing, right? It’s the equivalent of idiots posting that wall of text on Facebook a decade or so ago saying they don’t give Facebook permission to use their pictures, posts…etc.

I mean if it makes you feel better and gives you a sense of control in an otherwise out-of-your-control environment then I suppose go for it, but you’re not actually accomplishing anything other than making yourself feel slightly better and more deluded.

What a bell-end. Maybe instead of tariffs the US should begin vesting in education, job training, and research into these sectors so it can compete instead of trying to hobble the competition in the domestic market. This is just protectionism by a different name
