I think a progressive wave is inevitable at this point, but it would be very cool if it was a total sweep

Analysts have already said a lot of the new gerrymandering has Republicans net losing seats, but even predictions are being beat by double digit percentage points in the elections on the ground

It could definitely happen

I’ll do you one better. Gloves off, brass knuckles on. I’m so tired of politicians, and people in general, not understanding where we are

Good to know… That’s reassuring, thanks

Plane shoots, plane dives then climbs in a reverse palabora. Bullet flies mostly straight

Who signed it?? I keep seeing this, without shaming the org that gave in

Because they don’t work as phones, at least not for practical use

No one has cracked it yet, some projects seem to be getting close, but the radio in a phone is a very complicated and poorly documented black box

Yeah, go for it. They’ll probably be too off balance dealing with him and just give up on the whole thing

I do reject her because she’s a bad boss

I think we need to change how we look at politicians. If they’re abusive to their staff, why would they care about the people? Why would they care about Palestinians? Why would they care about anything other than getting more power for the sake of having it?

The measure of a (wo)man is how they treat the people under them or something

Me too, but this works like a charm

Here’s a better description if you or someone else needs it. For me, 4 or five times at the correct amount of force does it right away… It’s weird but it works

Luckily I’m one of the many where the trick where you slide your fingers to tap your skull works on. If you don’t know what I’m talking about, let me know… It doesn’t work on everyone, but it’s really effective when it does work

I don’t know about you, but the quiet only makes things louder for me. I hear the building creak, the wind pushing against everything, the hum of electronics, cars in the distance, voices carried on the wind…

Even if you can cut off all that, even in a sensory deprivation tank, your body is full of noise and sensation. If it’s quiet enough, you can hear the blood pumping through your body

It’s not really his puppet, she’s a wanna be imperialist collaborator. She wants to sell her country off for a little slice of the profits, she’s hoping someone will take her up on the offer and install her as president

Yes, yes… Let the frustration flow through you. Whine even more, threaten all the jobs

There’s no such thing as zero stimulation

But being out in nature makes it much easier to just sit and exist. Or wander around and exist

I’d say this is par for the course. Technology has made it much more public and more rapid fire

Also the complexity of modern society resists change. We have layers of procedure, checks and balances, even logistical realities that slow or disperse the kind of blunt demands being made at the top

So there’s a lot of stupid but effective things they could do back then, where today the same things are stupid and pointless

Exactly. And on a related note, they’re going by Liberty voting now

It’s like, the opposite of scalping. You can look at anything through the terms of markets and opportunity costs, but most of it is myths about how the world works

There’s no exchange here, there’s no loss, only gain. A shell that’s too big isn’t an investment, it’s a danger. The crab that waved the others down doesn’t benefit more than any other crab, it’s just a mutually beneficial redistribution of shells

I mean, there are places that will wash dishes for restaurants as a service. If your job was to go the transport, that might be a reasonable job title

It’s not over yet… So far, their wins have only come from people complying in advance

This wasn’t a step in the right direction through… It was a massive hand out to insurance and healthcare systems, and in exchange they couldn’t deny people for preexisting conditions

Obamacare made it so doctors average like 3 minutes in paperwork for every minute in front of a patient. Negotiating with insurance companies is far more than that, so it basically killed private practice

Now we have massive health systems meant to squeeze out profit and insurance companies that can use AI to dictate what care you get… The two sides of a system “meant” to be adversarial checks on each other are just screwing people from both sides
