I’m pretty sure both Nebula and Floatplane look for their talents themselves, you can’t just decide to be there. And they look for something more sophisticated than a guy yelling n-word at children in a currently popular videogame.

I’m convinced that people who are fascinated by llm chatbots are those who usually aren’t better than a chatbot at whatever they do. That is to say, they can’t do shit.

When everyone was talking about them paying their workers fairly, I did not expect it being 60 bucks a year. It sounds like an insult to be honest.

Fair use or something

Both in a vacuum and in an atmosphere, if you call something fascism because of one bad law, you’re doing nothing but deminishing and watering down the term. It means something, you know.

Middle age progressives didn’t vote for Bernie twice. Is it because they’re actually small in numbers or is it because they are pissed but don’t channel this energy into anything? I let you to decide which is worse.

Give them

Again with this passive shit. Nobody is supposed to give you anything, it’s politics, people present their worldview and gather votes of those who agree. Regressive democrats vote, progressive don’t, that’s why you are “given” candidates you generally see. If you want to see better candidates, vote for better candidates.
It pisses me off for no end, you go to any lefty space, all that you see is perpetual “voting is pointless, don’t vote, I voted once 20 years ago and look what it brought us, you should firebomb wallmarts instead. By the way, why all the candidates that win are so bad, it’s like they don’t listen to us”.

You just described what coalition politics actually is. When your candidate can gather support, or when a group of people can gather together and push a candidate, that group of people can do political activism, and elect their candidate. Do it enough time, and you get yourself a political force that can then communicate with other political forces to achieve their goals. The way US democracy operates, there can be only two viable coalitions, but the rest remains.
Americans have this weird perverted view of the political process, they believe some kind of higher force should produce them a magical person that is favoured by all, and then they can benevolently think about maybe supporting them or not, and they got irrationally angry when political groups they aren’t parts of, don’t deliver them this magical person.
Unfortunately, politics doesn’t work like that.

Will it force the Democratic voters to finally show up to vote? That’s the main question.

The Democratic Machine whatever the fuck you think it is, is a magical machine of the gaps. When voters don’t show up, The Machine does whatever it wants. When voters vote, The Machine has to listen.

You’re expecting old farts in charge to be always rational about everything. They need to let their rotting brains to slip up once, and we’re all fucked.

He’ll live in a private country his family bought. He’s the president of it right now.

Not every bad law is fascism.

According to law, it’s a matter of law in most of the states, and matter of jury instructions in a limited number of states. In other words, it is explicitly a law.

In vast majority of states there is a stand-your-ground law in place, which means you’re explicitly allowed to use deadly force if you reasonably believe that you’re defending yourself from a violent crime, and in minority there is a duty to retreat while outside of your home or workplace, which means that you still are allowed to use deadly force, but you have to try to retreat first, and only use force if you are reasonably sure that you can’t run away.
Kidnapping by a group of people in plain clothes in an unmarked van is explicitly stated as an example of a case where use of deadly force is permitted by law.

It is indeed due to the lack of medical knowledge. The thing is, so called “generational wisdom” is basically a synonym for lack of knowledge, medical or otherwise. When your go-to source of knowledge is the elders from your community, it stops you from seeking more relevant, and almost certainly more correct knowledge. Community isn’t smart, community is dominated by people who are speaking the loudest, the community consensus revolves around certainty, and people who know the most tend to be least certain in their language.

first-time parents leart all of this from their in-laws.

And so much of that was dangerous bullshit, it’s unbelievable. So many children died because of that.

It’s almost funny how the second you encounter a critique you get defensively angry. You should talk about it with a therapist.

I’ve heard of people who like to absolve themselves from all responsibility because the existential threat they’re facing is hard actually.

Glad to be far away from your southern hospitality.
You got called out, but instead of self-reflection you immediately went on angry rant.
