Maybe, more likely: “Republicans blocked it again, you have to vote harder and we pwomise this time we’ll actually do it.”

All you win is the status quo, and maybe at that, it can always get worse. Without taking a chance on “not what we’ve done for decades,” “what we’ve done for decades” will continue regardless.

Yes yes, go team! Everything is hopeless just keep the status quo and pray like a good boy, I know.

Because people don’t move in coordinated ways in large numbers.

“So having said that, my advice is to move in coordinated ways in large numbers. Vote blue no matter who!”

A literal court case affirming that the DNC isn’t obligated to respect the will of its voters is “just” a “talking point” or “propaganda?”

Methinks your catchy little slogan “vote blue no matter who” is actually the propaganda/talking point, pot meet kettle.

Yup. Liberty Safes had a huge scandal when it came out that they have override codes.

Call a locksmith, they can re-lock (as in change the whole thing) your safe. It’s on my to do list, gonna replace my keypad with a dial.

Vote 3rd party, argue with dumbshits that refuse to vote third party because of their self defeating “they can’t win” Ouroboros and try and get them to see that the only reason they “can’t” win is because of that very attitude, but if they did get the votes they could, in fact, win. Y’know stuff like that.

Honestly there’s more punchees than punchers, we can take them.

Pro-trans? My nuts, they were pro trans when they could use that as a tool to get votes, then they dropped them like a stone the second trump won again to try and pull votes from the right. Same thing they’ve been doing with POCs since like the 70s, they don’t care they just want your votes to keep the insider trading machine rolling.

What’s more they (and by “they” I mean BoTh of them) actually have an incentive NOT to fix anything, at least not in any meaningful way, because if say, the Ds actually do get guns banned (or Rs and abortion, etc), then they can’t run on it again in the future and that’s one less wedge issue to indoctrinate you into the color cult with.

Tbf you can only talk about killing republicans, democrats can do no wrong.

Now remember to go vote in the primaries even though the DNC won a court case on the basis of “we’re a private corporation and therefore do not have an obligation to provide a fair process to voters, we can act in the interest of the Party Leaders™ instead,” that’ll help!

(Wilding, et. al. v. DNC Services, d/b/a DNC and Deborah “Debbie” Wasserman Schultz)

E: haha don’t downvote the messenger, it’s your precious DNC that did it, go downvote them! Oh you can’t because “vote blue no matter who” huh? How’s that working out?

I can’t use AI in my job, because I manufacture.

But the HR lady can use it to make policies that are fucking stupid and my direct boss can use it to create an app to more effectively micromanage us without having to actually do the micromanaging himself so he has free time to blow his boss and cook breakfast for 30min on the clock every day.

So yeah I’m not a fan.

only for it to to be completely devalued with speed as the main focus.

Welcome to the rest of the world. All middle managers and C suite dickheads know is “hurry up and get it done,” they’ve entirely lost the concept of “slow is smooth and smooth is fast.”

The middle manager above my direct supervisor regularly clocks in late every day (and that’s after a 3h time difference no less, and it doesn’t seem he understands timezones either), and then with about 1.5h left in my day suddenly “hey stop what you’re doing and get this 3h of work done by the end of the day, but also no you can’t work OT.” Like “hey dickhead, it’s physically impossible to do that,” but of course instead of telling him, my direct supervisor just pulls that guy’s penis out of his mouth for long enough to say “yes sir” and tell me to break the laws of physics.

If math wasn’t there trial and error would have taken over. (Hell it might have been a lot of that anyway tbh…)

I think the difference is that AI isn’t a literal killing machine

Tell that to the Iranian schoolchildren Claude thought were viable military targets (you can’t, they’re dead as hell), and to the people using AI drones to loiter and auto select targets in Ukraine.

A gun is a killing machine.

A gun is a machine designed to fire a projectile, what you aim it at is what decides if it’s a “killing” machine or just a long distance hole puncher.

A bow is much the same, while it “is” a “killing machine,” designed for use in war and hunting, the archers shooting at targets at the range near my house aren’t murderers, they’re just target shooters. Would they use their bow to defend their house, just as I may use my gun that has only shot paper to do the same? Yes, they might, but only one of us is apparently deserving of ire from the uninformed, despite being the exact same situation.

If we’re going on “can’t date people who are statistically easy to trick” then half the population is right out just for being stupid, and then I guess when we get older that means dating is off the table, if phishing and scam calls are any indication.

What are we gonna use “A plane crashed between the border of Canada and America. Where do you bury the survivors?” As a “is this person fuckable” shibboleth?

Slight correction to his advice:

Delta Chat (the app itself) is available on iOS, android, windows, mac, and Linux. There is a fork on android called ArcaneChat, but it isn’t the only app available and the “official” one is also (as in both are) on F-Droid as well as Play Store.

I also recommend a Delta Chat “Group” if you want a group chat, or Delta Chat “Channel” if you want to be the sole poster for disseminating “news.” If group chat be aware: there are no moderators or admins or anything, all users have the same power, this means any user can kick any other user. It’s mostly meant for families and friends groups where that won’t be an issue, but a neighborhood chat would also likely be fine depending on your neighbors lol.

Yes, pretty much just put a QR code and it should work, it should take them to the app store directly to Delta Chat, and then once they DL and make an acct they may have to scan it again.

You would use Delta Chat as the client for the chats, with a separate chatmail address made during set-up, completely divorced from TBird or your email. You CAN use a traditional email to communicate with DC but it isn’t recommended anymore and it’s a whole thing, good luck getting your neighbors to set up a new email just for chatmails and set up autocrypt on it properly to communicate with encrypted chatmails, and yes you can use unencrypted email but it’s still advised to be a dedicated address and tbh why not just use email if you’re not going to encrypt it?

To your users who don’t know shit about what’s under the hood it’ll just look like whatsapp, they’ll have an easier time accepting “new app.”

Guns are a tool used to kill people, guns should be shut down and deleted now.
