Sigh. Yeah you’ve got a point. This fucking timeline, man.

We are not supposed to go home until the fucking vote is finished. When you sign up, it’s made clear that you work until it’s done.

Nukes are actually extremely hard to set off. H-bombs even moreso. It requires extremely, extremely precise explosively-driven compression.

Gun-type firing mechanisms are simpler, but by no means “simple”.

Wow cool so I guess we’re gonna get to see what Christian-flavored sharia religious laws look like in the states. Are we gonna get an all-America version of the morality police too?

Having worked the polls: if you are in line to vote, you get to vote. The cops do not have any grounds to order you to leave your polling location because it’s “too late”. That is a violation of your rights as a citizen. The correct response is “make me; and if you do, I’ll have your fucking job, officer”.

Get off your high horse. You did make a choice. You chose to not make a choice.

And with the way that electoral calculus and bias works in the US, not voting is disproportionately harmful to Democratic candidates, and disproportionately helpful to Republican candidates. You helped this happen by not voting.

My anger, my ego, my unwillingness to yield, my eagerness to fight, they’ve set me on a path from which there is no escape

Every day, I identify a little bit more with Luthen Rael

Congratulations! You are now in your LATE THIRTIES. You have unlocked the following attributes:

• sleeping “wrong”
• fatigue
• interesting medical conditions
• sore back
• crushing sense of ennui
• realization that you’re never going to get the social security you’ve paid into for your whole career

That would be… both of them. But yes, I know which one you’re primarily referring to, and I agree.

Clarification: I’m not saying “both sides same”. I am saying that it’s getting prey damn hard to avoid the conclusion that the Democratic Party is functionally just controlled opposition at this point.

Some loops of copper and a LOT of current

Says someone who’s never melted a hard drive :D

It’s honestly easier to just disassemble them and then hack the platters up, if you’re really that paranoid. Or just melt it down with an inductive heater.

approved by gop politicians

…and a shocking number of democratic ones. It SHOULD have been a party lines vote. But Democratic politicians did what they always do: extend an olive branch while they’re in the process of actively getting fucked over, and then portray theatrical shock and dismay when entirely predictable consequences issue from the situation.

Genuinely, I have a very hard time believing the Democratic Party and its leadership isn’t just controlled opposition at this point. They’re so consistently feckless and ineffective - and have been for so long - that it’s got to be intentional at some level.

You must be fun at parties

That is specifically the sort of proof I would be interested in

The point is, we wish to see the proof
