yeah, it turns out unelected, lifetime appointees with the power to interpret the law with no oversight was a bad idea.
the only thing more aggravating than using imperial is having to listen to all the complaining about how metric is better. We get it, bro; it's out of our control at this point
but now you can use the magic words that get the morons in the executive suites all hot and bothered
voting only works if you also put in the work after the fact. When biden got elected, suddenly all the political fervor of the previous ~4 years vanished. And, assuming we get out of the current morass in one piece, it's likely that all the uproar going on now will similarly disappear once "our guy" is in the oval office again.
Voting is the least any person can do, but without pounding the pavement and going out and doing the legwork, it's just a bone they throw to us so we shut up. It happens every time, in every presidential election I can remember, and yet there are still people out here saying "but dae vote or dont complain!!:!:!:!:!"!"!"!?!!:!L!". It's insulting.
There are few, if any, actually effective political movements that relied solely on officially approved political avenues to achieve anything. The Civil Rights movement in the US didn't merely vote until the federal government deigned them worthy of being treated like human beings; they got out in the streets and demanded equality. The Indian Independence movement didn't succeed by only appealing to the official colonial political apparatus using whatever methods were allowed them. They went and earned it.
So, whenever the liberal voting bloc is ready to stop letting themselves be politically infantilized by the electoral process, get at me.
the next big industry in software is fixing shitty AI code, screen this
the short-term plan is to slurp up all the stuff while they can. The long term plan is that there is no place for plebs in the automated future. The unwritten prologue to their sci-fi adventure is us commoners being abandoned to starve on a poisoned and resource-depleted mud ball as the intrepid billionaires go off to explore the cosmos with their robot pals.
liberals gonna lib but what does the acceptance, or rejection, of science have anything to do with it? Plenty of fascists have had no problem embracing science as a method of political expediency and plenty of leftists have rejected scientific advance as a measure of political progress.
