(Holding a pitchfork). Yeah! Well sorta.

Pings for democracy!

I’ve used both an M1 and a 1911 .45. Both are absolute perfection, but the M1 makes the ping sound. It wins.

If only we had some technology that could throw bits of hard things really fast from a good distance away. Science may never know if it is possible.

Either none of it is stealing or all of it is.

I’m not taking sides really, but I just want to point out that the US very much DOES still do shit to bipoc communities regarding infrastructure and construction and housing.

They will run a new highway right through a neighborhood. And sure, they offer to buy up the land first usually, so that’s nice I guess, but they don’t pay well for it and if you don’t move they just take it anyway. Rail lines run through lower income areas. Highways too. There are “easements” and “imminent domain” legal fuckery that they use against bipoc people mostly too. If it’s a rich neighborhood they go around, if it’s poor people tough luck to them.

Residential can also get rezoned to commercial and force everyone out.

There are LOTS of legal and quasi legal things that are done all the time here. But even the legal ones are often ethically/morally wrong.

So there’s that.

If the AI isn’t stealing content, then piracy isn’t stealing either.

I hate cars and highways so much.

I wish we had good mass transit like Europe.

It’s hard to make though. You have to harvest Iridium quality Wheat and mine for Iridium bars and then build the Advanced Cereal Irradiator on your farm to craft it.

It’s hard to do until year 2.

Not to mention that MOST of the problems they are bitching at Biden for not fixing were caused by them in the first place and then they blocked Biden from any efforts to fix it.

They set the fire, slash the firetruck’s tires and then have the audacity to blame the firefighters for not putting it out.

I don’t love Biden, but damn, he is trying to do some good things and being blocked at every turn.

Oh 100%

Manchin and Cinema are Dem in name only, their actions are GOP at every turn.

Don’t forget, 3 of the 5 SCOTUS were appointed by Trump, so everything happening with them now is from that and Biden doesn’t have power to stop that.

And either way, both Dem and GOP are Right Wing parties and their goals are more or less to maintain the status quo, benefit corporations and elites, keep power, etc.

Neither party has interests or incentives to truly progress things that benefit people, except in maybe a scrap or two to get votes.

We don’t really have a government by the people and FOR the people right now. If we did we would have Ranked Choice Voting, no more Electoral College BS, no more Gerrymandering, Voting Day would be a federal holiday, mail in ballots would be universal and accepted, etc etc etc.

And the reason for all of that is the GOP blocking or sabotaging every single effort to improve things, and then blaming the Dems, and it convinced a LOT of people.

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.

It’s a grower.

I’m weary and wary of all this.

Are you 100% on that? I thought it was recently proved that it actually could be reversed. Maybe I misunderstood. Thinking about this stuff makes my brain feel fuzzy and numb, but like, more than usual.

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.

Sticking it in to stick it to the gays! For Jesus!
