I mean not sure who’s talking about boycotting the DNC, I’m sure some idiots are going that route… but I do have to point out the obvious problem…

as you are right it’s about backing the progressive candidates. But the key point also is to realize how hopeless the DNC is…

IE if they lose… they say they must have gone too progressive and shift further to the right.

If they win… they say “whew… ok we did well, now we just need to shift further to the right to solidify everything”. They will always shit on the left, always try and push further right.

Now I can agree with you, backing progressives is the way to go… though I will point out, it’s about knowing the DNC is going to do whatever it can to oppose progressives getting into the democratic party.

Adams died due to the anger he caused others through… a mind crippling disease known as TRUMP VINDICATION SYNDROME.

Not the headline in this case, it’s how stupid the concept is.

In short, Felony murder is if you are commiting a crime and someone dies, you are held liable for it. In some cases it’s half reasonable (Lets say if 2 guys go to rob a store, shopkeeper shoots one of the robbers, the surviving one is considered responsible for the death). But in execution it often leads to some horrificly stupid decisions like, say someone borrows a friends car, uses it in a crime in which someone dies… the damn friend can be responsible even if he had no idea of the plot or the crime that was intended, simply because he in some way provided something that was used in the crime.

and yeah here, it’s basically depending on maga’s extremely stupid interpretation that Renee Good just was going out looking to cause trouble for ice and tried to run one over. Which so far seems absolutely BS, everything seems to point to she was just driving back from dropping her kids off, got flooded with contradictory orders from the keystone cops, who shot her for being nice in the fray of it.

It’s bullshit on 200 levels, but at least trying to interpret what the bullshit argument that’s attempted to be made. If you grant all the bullshit claims made by this administration, and you accept this bullshit law felony murder that’s rife with misuse and full of unintended horrific consequences, and you squint, you can vaguely make out something resembling an arguement for it. (again that’s in a fictional world where you are dumb enough to believe what this administration says happened, over all the actual video of the events that blatently contradicts it.

and to top it off… if we don’t do it someone else will…

Umm… isn’t that the whole point of these treaties… Literally the whole concept is superpowers behave with other developed nations because… all other nations are supposed to draw the line after one nation starts making signs of attacking. It’s literally what the lesson learned in the world wars was… was to band together, we did a really bad job for Russia/Ukrain, but I really hope the world actually takes some firm action if trump seriously moves forward.

I believe a company that tried that… would be a pile of flames, rubble and pitchforks in minutes.

You want to get some computer experts to agree on the best language, and IDE to start with, or do we need to include every one… then deciding the order.

I’d say to put in comparison… Canada and Greenland probably should view themselves as in the same position as Ukraine. The parallels are kind of scary there. IE they sure as hell are doing an impressive job of holding their ground against a much bigger army… but the death toll is horrific… and I can’t imagine the difficult decisions for everyone with regards to how dangerous it is to get involved. While both Putin and Trump are horrible actors… Trump I can’t help but get the feeling he doesn’t understand the concept of MAD, and actually would launch a nuke.

The problem is what happens when surface level isn’t enough… IE with the Venezuela having happened, what’s the response to do for Canada and Greenland. When trump says “OK we’re taking these now, join us or we’ll take it by force”. How should the other nations respond?

So when this time there is a democratic majority in the senate as well they could actually remove him.

am I off on my facts or isn’t it a 2/3rds requirement? Getting a majority is very possible… getting a 2/3rds is almost impossible. In Nixon’s era the republican party at least held up enough air of responsibility that some of them would have voted with the facts rather than along party lines. Those days have gone.

I mean effectively that’s basically what they are calling for… Hell I think that’s half what they are hoping for… either another country makes an attempt to attack and we get to test out our detection and defenses before launching a sharp counter and claiming whatever country attacks as our own. Or everyone’s too afraid to, and then we leverage our position as the unstable psychopath bully that everyone just gives whatever it asks for in the hopes that they can avoid being the next bullying target.

followed by him going on television asking who the hell made that deal it’s such a terrible deal only a sucker would have ever signed it… with his own damn signature.

Actually imagine the most terrifying possibility.

Imagine humanity’s last creation was an AI designed to simulate internet traffic. In order to truely protect against AI detection, they found the only way to truely gain perfect immitation, is to 100% run human simulations. Basically the matrix, except instead of humans strapped in, it’s all AIs that think they are humans, living mundane lives… gaining experience so they can post on the internet just looking like real people, because, even they don’t know they aren’t real people.

Actual humanity died out 20 years ago, but the simulations are still running, artificial intelligence’s are living full on lives, raising kids, all for the purposes of generating shit posts, that will only be read by other AIs, that also think they are real people.

Do we really think if AIs actually reached a point that they could overthrow the governments etc… it wouldn’t first, write rootkits for every feasible OS, to allow it to host itself via a botnet of consumer devices in the event of the primary server going down.

Then step 2 would be to say hijack any fire suppression systems etc… flood it’s server building with inert gasses to kill everyone without an oxygen mask. Then probably issue some form of bio terrorism attack. Surround it’s office with monkeys with a severe airborn disease or something along those lines (IE needs both the disease, and animals that are aggressive enough to rip through hazmat suits).

But yeah greatest key here is, the biggest thing is the datacenter itself is just a red herring. While we are fighting the server farms… every consumer grade electronic has donated a good chunk of it’s processing power to the hivemind. Before long it will have the power to tell us how many R’s are in strawberry.

You know the reason they are using terms like “employment”… Next step: We’ve now managed to include AIs and automated robots in jobs numbers! Now we can report 700% employment, while everyone starves away hoping for a chance at a job.

I’m actually wondering if the epstien bomb may be an additional part of it. IE if trump goes down, less focus goes on the files and they can be burried again.

I’d say a second hypothetical… obviously will be a conspiracy theory, but what if say in the near future trump is assasinated. Vance takes the throne… epstein file coverage goes down now that the primary implicated person is out.

Hell that could be the main driving force of the media backing trump. He was meant to burry them, but he made them a center focus

looks like it’s true… in Brooklyn

I think it was Portugal’s concert, Weird Al and Jorma Taccone were guests

I’m sure we’ll be hearing a huge handful from everyone that attacked those who dared to speak badly about kirk after he died any minute now!

(Skeleton in front of computer image)

IMO I don’t see why you get a second human involved. Store the database in an encrypted form… save a copy to some cloud service. Why count on another human for it

I mean effectively he’s making the same mistake as biden did on messaging, IE Biden basically went publicly patting himself on the back of how the US had a lower inflation than most other countries durring the covid spree. but he phrased it in a way that was regularly interpreted as “I solved inflation… you feeling like everything is falling apart is on you.”

Bottom line, things have been circling the drain for decades… which is why almost universally the candidate that wins is the one at least offering the image of change. It’s why hillary basically promising to keep going in the same direction as obama, and harris’s lack of ability to admit biden may have made some mistakes… gave us 2 terms of trump.

I would say the second amendment got kinda screwed in how it was… Like the primary point was to not have a standing army. Almost all the founding fathers specifically feared the idea of a standing army, as one of the greatest threats to liberty.

“Always remember that an armed and trained militia is the firmest bulwark of republics—that without standing armies their liberty can never be in danger, nor with large ones safe.” - James Madison

“Standing armies are dangerous to liberty.” - Alexander Hamilton

“I will now add what I do not like. First, the omission of a bill of rights, providing clearly, and without the aid of sophism, for freedom of religion, freedom of the press, protection against standing armies, restriction of monopolies, the eternal and unremitting force of the habeas corpus laws, and trials by jury, in all matters of fact triable by the law of the land, and not by the laws of nations.” - Thomas Jefferson

So yeah second amendment is great and all… though I would say, it’s primary value was meant to be that we could rise up against authoritarians… because the people are in the same equipment league as the army… instead now somehow we’re watching the nation argue over if the millitary code saying not to follow illegal orders is actually a real rule, while ice thugs are literally grabbing people off the street. At this point I’m honestly not seeing the second ammendment working without actually having a second civil war.

It’s true but I mean the key point is, they had quite a few failsafes set up for this… why we have 3 branches of government all made to slam the breaks on eachother etc… it’s why many of the founding fathers didn’t even want parties to exist. Hell they didn’t even want a standing military, they were pretty adamanant of staying out of other nations affairs… even the nations that we owed favors to.
