I got mine for hoping Elon's penis pump would explode and burn him to death from the dick up.
Yup, I agree with all of this. We have a lot of work to do in several areas to fix this shit, that much is for sure. The third party thing would really only work in the local elections though. Presidential elections are set up to be damn near impossible for a third party to compete as anything other than a potential spoiler.
Biggest and easiest method would be to co opt the primary process. So many fewer people vote on who the actual party candidate will be that it is far easier to influence the final election. If enough registered Dems actually participated in the primaries we could get someone like Bernie in. To really mess with the Repubs people could co opt their party instead, though asking Dems to register as Republicans would be a lot more difficult. Keep screwing Musk as well. Can burn up the ones at dealerships still, they are insured too so the idea of insurance companies not wanting to insure Tesla would still be viable, though definitely slower and more difficult but this way we are at least not pushing undecided folks over to the wrong side. Protesting is always useful those should definitely keep going. In fact most of what the left is doing is helpful, this one specific action I think is counterproductive though. Definitely the biggest change that can be made is participation in the primaries. At the very least we could get an actual left leaning Democrat instead of a weak willed centrist. At best it would be possible to co opt both (though that part would be highly unlikely).
Yup. Funny all the people blaming the bible like the dude up there calling it a stupid book... obviously hasn't read it. The bible has great lessons, 90% of Christians just ignore them is all. Don't blame the book for the idiots who claim to follow it when they actually aren't. Even the stuff wanna be Christians quote thinking it supports their argument they are either misunderstanding or leaving out vital context. Real Christians are very rare and almost never associated with an organized church. They just quietly try to do their best they don't try to use their belief to justify the rest of their life and bad decisions.
This is present on both sides. So many on the left apparently think that burning Tesla's owned by random people who bought them way before Elon revealed himself to be a Nazi cunt is going to do something other than drive undecided people to the MAGAts that it blows my mind. Looks like a lot of the left agrees with Elon about empathy being weakness because they have none here. Not understanding how regular/ undecided people feel about having their car burnt up and thinking they are going to do anything but get pissed and join the other side is about as unempathetic as it gets. Musk would be proud of them. I just hope it is a vocal minority doing it and agreeing with it and that they are caught and arrested before they can damage the anti MAGA cause too much.
And all those peoples whose cars burn turn to the MAGAts in a rage and join the team up to 'own the libs' even harder. Even if the plan worked, which is highly unlikely, it would do more damage than it would help. Yeah it would be great to tear down Musks fortune. Not going to stop Trump from being president though and it will make more people want to vote for his side next time. Yeah. That sound super helpful. Y'all are so convinced you are right that no argument is going to change your mind. You are as bad as a MAGAt when it comes to listening and really thinking about things you do not immediately agree with. Ignore the forest for the trees...
If these are the best ideas and people that the left has to offer we are never going to win this. Ugh.
Because everyone is rich like you and can afford to just buy a new car because some CEO revealed himself to be an evil cunt. You are so out of touch it hurts my head. If folks like you are the majority of the people on the anti-musk side we are so very destined to lose this war. So discouraging, ugh. We have no chance at all with that mindset.
You do know he already got paid for those so you are not impacting anything except some rando innocent person who now will actively hate your cause and move further towards the fascist side? Or maybe you don't. Know it or not burning peoples Tesla's is one of the absolute worst and stupidest moves someone can do if they actually want things to change. That just adds one more them to the "us vrs them".
The main feed, sorry I thought I put that part in the title the one that shows stuff from all your communities, I thought the decentralized format here means a sticky like that would be only in its own community?
Question is all there in the title. No matter which way I try to sort the feed it seems to be entirely random instead.
Definitely not signals fault, only reason they were using an inappropriate program to communicate is because they did not want it recorded in official channels.
Lol they are going to have an EXTREMELY tough time finding an actually unbiased jury.
Russia and China could exploit it? They were probably in the fucking chat too they just did not write an article about it
Alaska is better than the rest of the country in that regard for sure. Not sure it is good enough to fix the problem entirely but definitely definitely better than how the rest of the country does it and certainly worth watching to see how it impacts things. Article did not mention more 3rd party representation but even just the racial/ gender balancing is a big improvement
I mean, last time there was a a President or control of a house of Congress from a different party was in the 1850's so I wouldn't say periodically. It has happened but it is very rare and hasn't happened in a very very long time. At this point those people saying that primaries of the current two parties are the only real way to invoke change are correct. It is far far far more effective to try to take over a primary and get a Republican or Democrat that are RINO or DINO than it is to get enough support for a third party candidate. For that to work you basically have to find someone that is more appealing to conservatives than a Republican, more appealing to Democrats than a democrat AND you have to overcome the massive funding/ name recognition/ trust (this part is getting way easier lately) in the old two.
Our entire US system is set up to make it so that it is essentially (literally) impossible for a third party to win. This article gives a decent basic overview of why: https://thehill.com/opinion/campaign/4947662-why-a-third-party-presidential-candidate-can-never-win/
Some people are built different. My dad worked as a pediatric hospice nurse for almost 10 years. Talk about a shitty sad job. Every single patient is a child and every single one of them is GOING to die on your watch. Fuck THAT. I do not know how he did it.
See there is a correct answer and you even know it. I really suggest you research more on Bitcoin it is entirely different than all the other crypto and the rest of them I agree are almost entirely scams just to make money. You touched on the network effect being the real value in money. It has value just because enough people decided it has value for facilitating trade. Bitcoin does exactly what you desired in a money the only flaw I see in your logic is thinking that a good money supply adjusts itself based on supply and demand. Different products obviously would do that at different rates so it would have to attempt aggregate demand changes for everything to even attempt to maintain exact price levels. That is obviously impossible, they can not do it with dollars and they can not do it with Bitcoin either.
What bitcoin does have is an inelastic supply with zero inflation and most importantly no one is in control of it who can change that. Its value in fiat is currently wildly variable on the day to day basis but it is also very early in its network effect. It will stabilize over time. Either way it is off topic enough to this post I don't need to talk about it anymore. I do suggest reading up on it more though. It is definitely going to take a much bigger chunk out of all the current stores of value over time and, like TCP/IP is the protocol layer of the internet with everything else built out on top of it, there is in my mind a very good chance that BTC ends up the base monetary layer in the future with more layers built on top of it to facilitate more economic purposes. But even without replacing currency the value will continue to rise, even if through nothing more than the network effect of more and more people believing it as time progresses.
Cheers.
Definitely true. I would perjure myself to get Luigi off the hook though. He is a hero not a criminal. He had the balls to kill that piece of shit, I can have the balls to tell a white lie to get him out.
Don't you know? If it wasn't for all those damn liberals giving away all the money to those illegal-ish immigrants I would be a millionaire too! I have worked hard so obviously it is their fault I am not wealthy yet! /s
Obviously. Another of those "why should I care, it doesn't hurt me any" types then?
