IDK their religion allows straight up substitution magic, they turn wine and crackers into pieces of their dead god. Why can’t thorns and pieces of wood turn into the implements that killed him?

Yes they’re used, but they’re not THE ONLY method of control as it was in this disaster of a sub.

It is a clear signal, it says very clearly and in no uncertain terms they don’t want to talk to you.

Your need for “closure” or whatever doesn’t matter.

If you think that trump is capable of that then you admit the American system is so flawed that a diaper wearing dementia ridden criminal is all it will take to bring it down. That Pax Americana is on the death bed and electing Biden is just kicking the can down the road.

Without the looming existential threat of the climate apocalypse and the inevitability of children born today fighting in the water wars, Biden might be fine, but we need action now and anything else isn’t just lesser of two evils, it’s complete failure in our lifetimes…

”Both options are cliffs!”

But they are though.

The cliff drivers aren’t getting off the bus, even if we vote them down this time, if we don’t change the system that allows them equal opportunity to drive us off a cliff they will eventually force it off the cliff.

Biden has long supported the system that allows it, prides himself on being able to find a middle ground with them, and though he talks about not going over the cliff has no long term plan for dealing with those that do, because again he believes in the system that allows them to want to drive off the cliff.

I believe I’ve stretched this metaphor about as far as it will go, but I’m going to try stretching it further.

There are actually two cliffs, fascism and climate change, even if we pull the bus away from one cliff we’ve still got the other in front of us and basically no one is even pretending to deal with that.

And to leave the broken bus scenario, I’m just going to say if you believe that a trump win will destroy American democracy, that we can’t defeat his corrupt, senile version of fascism then the next republican demagogue will have no problems.

Yeah it’s not good.

you could average around $0.0000085 per impression.

and it should be noted actual numbers are hard to find, which is sketch.

compared to youtube’s ~55%

I’ve been searching for a dumb TV now for a bit, can’t find them anymore

Every TV can be a dumb TV if you don’t give it your wifi password…

more competition making headsets

quite the opposite has happened, there are fewer companies making headsets now. Microsoft is removing their version of open platform, mixed reality from windows entirely…

This, so much, this, I feel like I’m taking crazy pills.

The Democrats are ideologically incapable of dealing with fascism, they will not address the root causes, America will have an authoritarian in office within 8 years.

Quite frankly if America can’t withstand trump’s decrepit, corrupt, senile version of fascism then we’re just going to fall to what ever ghoul the Republicans summon next.

If trump wins and America can’t defeat his senile version of fascism, then it’s already on the death bed waiting for the next republican to take power…

trump is the best authoritarian we’re going to get, he’s easy mode, the republicans will get someone worse, someone who has the ability to think beyond his next shit.

It’s not going to get better only worse…

…I know.

What i’m saying is that Chatgpt is good at captcha shit, likely because it was fed the data from all the captcha we’ve done.

And I know captcha is different from recaptcha, if you want to be pedantic, which you appear to…

you’re at least a decade late for that concern. why do you think chatgpt is so good at solving recaptcha?

Right wingers are going to lose their minds over this, but that scares me more than amuses me at the moment.

They will lose their minds over literally anything, they created this whole conspiracy out of thin air and hatred of women.

Someone already got decapitated by their son over MAGA conspiracies this year, so meming about it feels really really reckless to me.

That happened anyway, avoiding making fun of them (by pointing out what they say is nonsense) won’t make their delusions go away.

I get the incumbent effect, but it only goes so far… Much like the “well for all his faults, to any sane person he’s clearly better than his opponent” effect.

I hope the democrats get their shit figured out and have someone they can push, but history shows they are bunglers…

If America can’t withstand the thuggish authoritarian incompetence of what trump promises, then it is only a waiting game to our inevitable fall to fascism.

Burying our heads in the sand an hoping for the best won’t make that inevitable future any less inevitable…

I hope Biden wins, but we’re just swirling the drain, we can make it take longer but we’re falling in that dark hole.

As it should, I’m saying the republicans will not get better, they’ve got a roster of worse already in fact.

That the democrats are so convinced that Biden is the only one from their party who can beat trump, is a terrifying, because I don’t know what charismatic demon the republicans are going to run next, but if Biden is the best they’ve got we’re fucked.

The fact that the American system can’t rid itself of a virus as decrepit and criminal as trump is a warning that whoever replaces him will waltz in without hassle…

Here’s the problem I don’t want to play the dementia olympics for the president…

The fact that DNC insists that Biden is the only one they have that can beat trump should scare the shit out of you. That basically guarantees an authoritarian in the next 8 years because the republicans have a deep back bench of ghouls to replace trump when he dies.

And I’m just saying if trump wins and we can’t defeat his geriatric thug version of fascism, then America will just fall to the next charismatic fascist wanna be that stumbles by.

As someone points out above, this just gives them the power to not authenticate real videos that make them look bad…

And that will in no way be the first step on the road to VLC deciding which videos it allows you to play…

“can you draw a room with absolutely no elephants in it? not a picture not in the background, none, no elephants at all. seriously, no elephants anywhere in the room. Just a room any at all, with no elephants even hinted at.”
