Younger, healthier, charismatic, great on camera, focused in stressful situations. Also, she'll be great at dealing with congress because she is so experienced with dicks and assholes.
I'll be there in November!
Side note, maybe we can have Riley Reid for the candidate?
Yep, I'll pokemon go to the polls now. Harris would not be my first pick, but it would be dumb for me to demand that biden step down and still not vote when my demand is met.
Democrats have listened to their voters and they deserve to be rewarded for that.
Well, the shooter was a registered republican. So it is still seeming possible.
Considering he is in a crowd of angry gun obsessed extremists who have been cultivated to reject reality, I think there is a decent chance that this was one of his own. Maybe someone was pissed that he softened his stance on abortion. The so-called "pro-lifers" have murdered before.
Yeah, this isn't greater idaho, this is even worse idaho.
It is freeing to recognize that I have never sinned and it pissed Christians off when I say this. To clarify, in Christianity sin is not simply "the bad things we do" it is specifically an offense against god. God does not exists so i have never sinned against him.
I've been an atheist for for 16 years but it was only recently that I realized this distinction. It short-circuits the guilt based evangelism. It forces the christian to first demonstrate that god exists before they can convince me I have sinned and need to be saved from that sin. And to say the least, they are ill equipped to demonstrate the existence of god.
I totally agree, but I find it a tedious point.
If I say America is evil, or America is racist and genocidal from it's inception, people don't rush to say "Well the American government is bad, and racists are bad, and voters who keep upholding white supremacy are bad, and America's racist laws are bad, and the racist features in America's founding documents are bad, and America is build on stolen land, and American imperialism is bad, and America's long bloody history is bad, BUT let's be clear that Americans are good. Also, many of Americas enemies are also bad."
The real album is "Satan is real" but it had all the letters necessary for this message.
Most likely scenario is that they drive around in their trucks waving both flags of the US and flags of traitors to the US, block traffic, and post to Facebook.
Worst case scenario, there is a wave a of hate crimes as these hyped up fascists try to "defend America" by picking fights with any random brown person they see.
Best case scenario, they try messing with federal agents, get arrested, and wont be voting in November.
I can afford to miss a paycheck. In fact, I'm currently planning for a four month stretch where I'll need to live off of savings. Thinking that I, with my 11 year old honda fit, 10 year old PC, and my 2 roommates, am in the top 20% of this stat is very alarming.
I use an HTC TCL vive. I can text, place phone calls, and barely take a picture, but god damn it I can replace the battery.
Sov Cit - I'm not under your jurisdiction. driving is a commercial activity, I am traveling and that doesn't require a license.
Big Tech - We're not a taxi company, labor laws don't apply to us. We are an app company that allows independent contractors to find customers.
Sov Cit - I am not the legal person, I am the flesh and blood living person. I do not need any identification.
Big Tech - We're a hotel network. We're a website that enables peer to peer short term home sharing. Neither we, nor the people who rent on our website should be subject to any sort of existing regulations.
Just a thought.
Get in your rocket Elon. Don't worry it has full self driving powered by grok.
Actually, the general elections are on leap year, so you can educate and organize 365 days a year!
Oh, bottom right hits deep. I was raised catholic and even though it was easy for me to accept that sex and masturbation were fine after I got out I am still discovering ways that I was taught to be ashamed of my body that are affecting me 14 years later.
I had to add this after I found out it was real.

Oh yes, AI image recognition absolutely gives me that tricorder vibe. I have a friend at my community garden with some apps like that and it is so much like an away mission when she quickly makes an ID and tells us what to do with that information.

scan "This is an indigenous cone flower, it will attract pollinators"
Smartphones are cool but they are fairly limited as far as the types of data that they can really take in. If you were putting together a kit of tools with existing technology to gather data for science and engineering which tools do you think would be most important? Here are my ideas.
-
Multimeter
-
IR camera
-
UV camera
-
Motion amplification camera
-
Microscope
-
The flipper zero or some similar hacking tool

I do clinic defense each weekend and hear arguments similar to this all the time. The typical phrase is "The baby's body is not your body." My new go to response is "Ok, but where is that baby's body?"
What are the best zines for introducing beginners and libs. I have a couple of places I want to start distributing zines but I think my audience needs some real basic concepts like cops aren't your friends, profit isn't really what motivates most people, direct action can be effective. I like Bullshit Jobs and To Change Everything, but I need some more variety.
I have volunteered with Food Not Bombs in my city for six years. Many cities have their own branches. Food Not Bombs serves free vegan meals. As much as possible this food comes from food waste rescue. Many locations also distribute clothing, groceries, and hygiene products.
I'm a volunteer clinic defender at Planned Parenthood so i deal with street preachers a lot. This weekend a street preacher also started interfering with the crowd at the pride parade. In both cases, I primarily try to interfere, interrupt, and distract them to prevent them from harassing their targets.
I am consistently surprised by how they can just keep reciting their scripts with a thousand yard stare while crowds are shouting at them to shut up, or chanting go home, or blowing whistles in their ears. They just keep going nonstop. Admittedly a big part of why this bothers me is because of how ineffective our defense efforts often are, but it's also just really creepy. They don't react to anything. They aren't really there to have any kind of conversation. They jut space out and ramble loudly and constantly.
