Given that they are serious, though, and the subject, maybe they should be taken deadly seriously.

Yeah, that’s just the zeitgeist - closer and closer to midnight.

Report them to ICE?

maybe it will finally convince some voters

Lol. Lmao, even. That was a smile I needed this dark and dreary day, wry though it may have been.

Hopefully, some folks smarter and more capable than me can figure it out.

I have some terrible, chilling news for you: nobody is that much smarter or more capable than you. We’re all in the same boat, looking at each other with raised eyebrows while the screeching gibbons some other arsehole put in charge throw their own shit at each other instead of doing their supposed jobs. Some of the crew have tried bailing out the bilge or correcting course to avoid the impending iceberg, but then they get hit by gibbon shit with startling accuracy. Everyone’s varying levels of worried, nobody has any answers.

edit: sorry, allowed myself a little fun with the analogy. It’s a dark morning. I don’t think some extraordinary hero is going to come fix this, though.

Thus continuing the work COVID started and further reducing the voting bloc the right relies on to get elected… right?

I bought it way back in the day, in the beginnings of the Humble Bundle, but it’s never felt finished to me. Admittedly, last I remember of it was that tech demo which includes a few arena maps, so maybe it got updates I didn’t play. I was really impressed with how the combat felt when it “clicked” though, even in the early stage.

Oh hey, I played Overgrowth too! The best fighting game never made, maybe.

Musk breaks silence

WHAT silence? That asshole has been the source of a rising crescendo of bullshit on an increasingly broad range of topics on which he is absolutely unqualified to comment for years. The miracle would be if he managed to shut the fuck up for several consecutive moments.

I agree but that’s irrelevant. The public’s approval of a person only matters if that person was elected to a position by the public. Musk was not elected, so his approval ratings amongst the public do not matter.

This motherfucker was not elected. His approval ratings do not matter because nobody voted for him. Jesus fucking Christ.

I wish more people could understand the brutal reality of these situations without having to live them. It’s not just chanting and throwing a punch or three, and then going home. It’s going to be horrible and nothing will be the same afterwards; a lot of people we love are going to die, and the outcomes we want aren’t guaranteed, even if we win. If it’s a fight that has to happen, then it will, but nobody should be looking forward to it even grimly.

It’d be a Pyrrhic victory, no question. Real “I’ll break your fists with my face” energy.

His tiny, tiny hand?

I stand corrected, this speaks to my robot soul

“Polished” is a generous word for it. I think you might be mistaking generic plastic gloss for polish, though. AI writing is so formulaic, it’s like looking at a repeating texture in a video game. It writes lyrics like a five year old, too - very simple, entirely conventional, no creativity. Nothing new.

Tolerance is a contract, not a paradox. Break the contract of tolerance, and find yourself no longer covered by it.

More like all our joints decay rapidly under the added stress, and we end up with crippling arthritis and an early grave. But maybe some generation of our descendants would be Bulrathi or Klingons or something, after some adaptation!
