More about this monstrosity here.

I’m pretty sure destroying it would finally let the soul of Jimmy Carter find some rest.

I’m trying to sympathize. I really am…

I think I know why Trump and his fascist posse almost always blame Biden and a lot more rarely Obama: the latter is still mentally sharp and would destroy all of them if he decided to speak up a bit more often and defend himself, while the former is fighting to keep his dribble in his mouth.

Fair enough.

10. Telegraph Operator

The OM who taught me Morse code when I passed my ham radio license in the 80s was a long-retired telegraph operator. He recounted how he got his job:

He saw a ad for a job at his local Western Union telegraph office in the classifieds. He was already a ham radio enthusiast, so he figured he’d give it a shot. He showed up at the date and time indicated in the ad and sat in the waiting room with a bunch of other candidates for a long time. Nobody showed up to interview anybody. So he waited with all the others.

Then finally he got up and went straight to the recruiter’s office without prompting. He said he suddenly realized, while he was waiting there, that among the machinery noises and the clickety-clicks of the paddles, someone was continuously keying “If you can read this, go straight to the recruiter’s door.”

The office wanted only the very best telegraphists who lived and breathed the job. They figured someone who automatically listening to Morse code traffic when they heard something, and not just while on the job, was the kind of person they wanted.

Your brain with a reasonably complex password-building recipe. It’s secure and you’ll never lose your passwords until you reach dementia age.

The meme would be more potent if the Linux side was correct…

I renounced my citizenship in 2002, just after Dubya shat out the USA Patriot Act - the first piece of overtly fascist and unconstitutional US legislation. And it was NOT cheap back then.

The US taxes you if you’re an American living and earning money abroad, even if you don’t live in the US and you don’t use any US public service. And if you want off the hamster will, the US makes you pay one last time for the privilege.

Why? Because it’s a mafia state, when it’s not a fascist one too.

Oh noes! Don’t piss off Jared Kushner! He’s our only hope for peace with Iran or something…

The 13th Amendment is now unreadable, because it’s written on that piece of paper that Temu Hitler wipes his oversized ass with, and it’s now covered by a brown streak.

Most people who have to eat have no say in the matter.

I want Platner to win because at least there’s a chance he’s not a fascist.

I wish there was a better choice than 100% fascist or hopefully-not-fascist in the US…

What if the dog is called Pluto and the planet Sparky?

One can only hope…

Beside my burning desire to see Musk lose money and lose face because I can’t stand fucking billionaires who don’t pay their fair share of taxes, and Nazis even less, SpaceX allows Musk to keep the US government way too dependent on him for a healthy democracy to exist - or indeed any democracy.

Oh yeah, all religions are a bunch of nonsensical hogwash, and people who believe in magical dudes in the sky have something broken in their brain for sure.

I was just talking about the opinion one bunch of crazies who tried to brainwash me as a kid had on another, different bunch of brainwashing crazies.

Ironically, the new military list of recognized faiths doesn’t include the DefSec’s own faith.

In fairness, do traditional Christian faiths really consider the LDS church as a Christian variant?

It has Jesus in it, and in claims lineage with existing christy faiths the same way Christianity claims to be a continuation of the Jewish faith and Islam to be a continuation of both, but the rest of the whole Josepth Smith thing is… well, let’s say colorful to put it kindly.

I grew up Catholic in Utah and no Catholic I knew saw the LDS church as anything other than a crazy cult that strangely succeeded.

Everybody I know hates AI, fears AI will take their job, and uses AI all the time themselves.

It doesn’t matter what I think - but I think he’s a dimwit, for what it’s worth.

My point is that, once again, the democrats managed to find possibly the most controversial candidate they could find, when it would have been so easy to go with someone with a genuine connection to the voters and without the stupid baggage of awkward questions.

I’m drawing the conclusion that he was a dumb ass crayon eating marine who got his tattoo vetted (multiple times) by the USMC and didn’t think anything more about it.

Yeah alright. Fair enough. Your argument is valid.

Then like I said, if he’s not a Nazi, I wouldn’t vote for a crayon-eating dum-dum.
