Need to zoom out to reveal they’re going a finonacci sequence. 1, 1, 2…

Thanks for your thread, I also have to upgrade my Blade 15. It automatically installed Windows 11 which broke the built in monitor (lol). Let me know if you have any success with these comments’ suggestions!

I generally don’t trust .io for that particular reason. It’s the Steve Jobs of the world picking that for buzz; the Steve Wozniaks of the world would simply choose .org.

And…, to make sure my joke didn’t lead me to find it Woz had a fucking io website, I looked it up and his personal cite is fucking org. Lol

No, he’s still liked by some in certain states, generally by the same people who like Liz (although nobody likes her father lol). I could imagine he could even move some older Texans over, assuming they haven’t all drank the coolaid. Not much, but if Republicans delivered just one surprise state the resulting tumult would likely shape both parties quite drastically in 2026 onward.

And yes, he’s a war criminal so obviously I won’t give a shit about the endorsement, but hey, it’s not just about the win. It’s about making it harder for Trump to contest things later.

Starting it strong, I see. Nice job Squids!

It’s tricky, since you have inherent power imbalances and the jobs dangerous on top of that. I think you can look at Japans older model where they basically just have a pen and paper and chill out in kobans (corner police boxes) to just help people with directions and any disorders. Less heroic TV types and more glorified public assistants.

Would never fly here, but police are adorable in Japan.

That’s the point of police reform. They weren’t prevented because reckless driving isn’t enforced here. The police here suck, and have always sucked, and should be replaced and reformed.

Now, if you’re done misconstruing my argument to fit your virtue signaling, why don’t you say the solution to hit and run drivers, and while you’re at it, street take overs?

Odd for you to call vehicular manslaughter an inconvenience, but let’s be clear: you can both reduce police involvement where it is not needed (such as mental health crisis) while still maintaining some order for actual dangerous offenders. You can also approach a problem from multiple angles, such as making prisons more about rehabilitation than punishment, or addressing future crime by investing in education and family welfare.

None of that means you also can’t address a very local problem of 40,000 annual hit and runs with 8,000 deaths. Living in South LA, you literally see street take overs at least once a week usually with stolen cars. Doing two things at once- that is, addressing the current problems while also preventing future ones- shouldn’t be difficult for someone “doing the mental work” like yourself.

Nice work, bone daddy.

I mean, so can I in a sense – guys passed out on my couch. “Yup, he’s too high to drive.”

In seriousness, I wish they’d just bust people driving recklessly. It’s almost every day now that I’m almost side swiped by an aggressive muscle car driver; it’s driving me crazy. I don’t care what they’re on, alcohol, cocaine, meth, or just pure uncut Machismo, I need those people fucking jailed before it’s my kid on the news about getting hit and run’d.

Not the greatest background but certainly unsurprising for The Economist. Oh well, an endorsement is an endorsement.

I literally just ignored a poll called (phone even IDd them as Survey) so … Let’s try not to read too much into polls. Instead, vote.

A typical Wednesday in South LA.

Actually all seriousness, the illegal fireworks were going off in my shitty, low-mid income neighborhood. Granted, these assholes use illegal fireworks for everything (like, Mother’s Day, really?!) so it’s pretty par for the course.

I know what you mean, especially news. I mostly do /all and it’s easily a problem there too. I think, possibly down the line, there might be a way to aggregate identical or similar posts, client side.

Ah yes, torture by gaslighting.

To be fair, I do the same thing- arm myself (figuratively!). If you have the emotional and mental bandwidth to deal with them, flexing those debate muscles is a great idea. But, life is hard and if you don’t have that bandwidth, they aren’t your problem.

Gosh I hope so. Actually data would back you up, I think, since millennials lean left and are more educated and less religious. All factors that help in that regard.

Please have Harris win so this guy can go to jail or whatever the fuck he’s so desperate to avoid.

Tough question, but you spend though time online and you hear stories of abuse from Trump parents and people ghosting them. It’s not so much about the voting choices though, but who those people are— which of course is correlated.

That said, you shouldn’t think in absolutes. I certainly quarantine family to once-a-year if they’re terrible, if even that. It’s not as direct as making a pact to never see them, you just avoid unpleasant people. That just happens to be Trump supporters lately since he appeals to the worst kind of people, but before that it was my folks like my grandpa who called Obama the n word and kicked my dad out at 15.

That make sense?

Brain damage and Trump support are correlated…
