At a place I worked many years ago I left because I was moving. I still had remote access to the cameras until they upgraded the system.

Signal literally couldn't give away your communications if they wanted to, everyone who disagrees with the way things are going should be using it.

I was diagnosed last year. I'm 41. I wondered what the hell was "wrong with me" my entire life. Meds help but this shit sucks.

Once he's hollowed out the entire country, he will do some random thing and someone will give him an award for it. Once he's done masturbating (imagine someone passing you a blunt), he's going to enact his ultimate dream. He's going to get the SS to pick him up ten big macs and ten filet o fish. He will assemble his ultimate favorite sandwich, eat about half of it, and pass out. Two days later he will die trying to take a shit.

Trump will be fucking dead in four years.

We even have trouble with cultural shit within our own species! Smiling like that all the time would warn me away and I'm from a culture that generally likes smiling. In our closest living genetic relative, the chimpanzee, a toothy smile means "I'm ready to tear your arm/balls off."

I have this terrible feeling that Turkey would veto, even if somehow we could distract Trump with enough McDonald's and fake tits to try to get it done.

Have you ever been tested for ADHD? I don't want to go around diagnosing people but this kind of executive dysfunction is central to it

Do you sometimes agonize on and off for hours over a task that could be done in 30 minutes?

That's fair. Try alcohol.

I hear you. What I'm advocating does veer into philosophy when what we need is action. I don't claim to know every nuance of these bureaucracies, but I have worked within them, as a civilian. I do understand that this pump action shotgun approach to surgery is absurd. Believe me, you and I are on the same team here!

I don't advocate admitting defeat at all. In fact I think everyone 'resigning in protest ' right now is just taking the easy way out. I do hope for an end to this madness, but it seems like the train's just left the station.

What I'm advocating is an approach to systems theory, nothing more. Stay safe in the months ahead.

This is how I used to think. But we need to simplify things in order to approach them with appropriate action. The original purpose of USAID, NOAA, Department of Education, those don't matter at the moment. It's hard to articulate, but when you get down to it, the purpose of the system is what it does. No, over arching beliefs, vision, or plans from the founders will not work right now. The purpose of a system is what it does.

I don't want to argue with you anymore comrade. Please give a read to the link. Just a few days ago I would have had the same response as you.

I'm wide awake. I used to travel for work and now I'm staying home so I have my rifle ready.

Everyone knows what Trump is! I feel like I'm screaming into the void. His cult loves what he is, the other oligarchs love what co prez Elon is up to!

"Blue maga, genocide Joe" has disappeared because it was an op. Leaving us with the useful idiots who parroted that shit.

As I've said several times I hate the fucking democrats! They learned absolutely nothing from when the republicans were the opposition. Do nothing, sit on your hands, threaten to shutdown the government. Over and over.

If you voted for anyone but Kamala you knew what Trump was going to be. Got them clean hands. Hope they stay clean of others' blood and don't end up catching your own life spilling through your fingers when the SS shows up.

If you're talking about the Superb Owl right now you're having the wrong conversation.

If there was a real god they'd shit all over some precious morals.

Obviously a very intelligent woman yet so fucking stupid at the end. I wonder if she wasn't already in the clutches of dementia when she decided Hilary was certain to win.

No it was not worth it. Biden should have stuck to one term president, there should have been a primary. Kamala was so embarrassing with her line of "fundamentally, nothing will change" when asked how she would be different from Biden.

I don't care for the Democrats. Kamala's campaign was misguided. Continued unwavering support for fascist apartheid Israel. Democrats always reaching right for more votes while the left is right fucking here if you'll throw us a goddamn bone!

That being said, if you didn't vote for her you have literally caused what is happening now.

Palestine saved! USA destroyed! Mission Accomplished!

Someone responded to me with this a while back. The purpose of a system is what it does. I shot back some shit, but then I thought about it. They're right. The purpose of a system is what it does. It became clear to me. It literally does not matter in the real world what the creators of a system say it is for. The purpose of the system is what it does.

That's exactly what I'm saying. It's easier to destroy the Democrats and replace them than fix FPTP voting.

If you're in the US and voted anything but Democrat, or didn't vote at all, then this is your fucking fault.

Fuck the democrats, fuck Kamala. They suck. But look what your rigid morality has made.
