I would suspect that if the specially selected voting machine certification team doesn’t certify the equipment within 180 days there will be no valid way to collect votes from those districts. Too bad they only have time to certify the machines in ‘certain areas’

This is not a place of honor. Nothing of value is here.

See, we were focusing on something so we have a reason we didn’t notice the fall of democracy in our country.

you write a book that gets turned into a movie, help draft the most optimistic plan for turning a reasonable functional democracy into a dictatorship, rock eyeliner at least as well as any 80’s glam-rock start, but you fuck one* couch, and that’s all you’re remembered for.

• well, you know, the ones in the furniture store didn’t count, and the futon was technically a futon, and I was genuinely concerned that I’d be maimed by the recliner, and when I was drunk didn’t count, and beanbag chairs are barely even a chair…

I feel that what I wrote and what you interpreted are very different things, that having been said I sincerely wish I had written what you’ve responded to.

I wasn’t trying for any ‘gotcha’ moment or anything, my paranoia is just particularly high these days. I apologize if my open rambling about my personal distrusts has caused you undue stress.

I very much dislike that a person from any country would read your post and push the downvote icon, but I’ve been told to my face that gerrymandering was a legitimate ‘political’ tactic, so I can’t say it surprises me.

it may be the current political climate of the country I’m living it, but kernel level remote access makes me feel inherently less secure. Don’t get me wrong, I never intend to give up my dumb terminal as my only way to use my computer either.

My past self was also and insufferable piece of shit in a completely different way that my current self is. I don’t believe it is our use of linux that drives this particular personality trait as much as the underlying humanity that we share.

TBF normal for tmurp is refusing rental applications from people based on race and making unsolicited unwelcome physical advances on women while claiming to be a victim of descrimination.

Ah, you’re all good. I feel rightfully shamed by my past self from giving up slackware in the early 2000s to go almost exclusively Ubuntu specifically for the package manager. I used to would have felt my adult self was a fake linux kid as well.

Odd, I specifically find the concept of this disturbing.

Wait, is linux gendered or pacman?

Small text on the bottom of purchase agreement: ~This vehicle is not meant to be used as transportation in an external environment, any use outside of a garage or small enclosed campus is outside of the scope of this vehicle’s design and should be avoided.~

I think the current power dynamic in the whitehouse may make the opposite more likely.

If this is the line you have to cross them where does members of the crowd chanting ‘hang mike pence’ and building a gallows fall?

Fuck it, I’m convinced. Redo the whole election, there’s no other possible way to possibly move forward

The real question is will we still have legalized recreational cannabis in Colorado when tmurp loses and we become a province?

It was on one of the pieces of paper he agreed to sign when he accepted the money and ‘technical assistance’, so he’s 100% on board.

And he’s not a government official, even though he’s impersonating one, and that the administration tells the public he’s in charge of a government agency but tells the courts he’s not.

While all of these things are true, I find it disingenuous to imply that his not having been elected is somehow less accurate than any other criticism levelled against him.
