LOL yes I’m all for mocking species-specific group names. Just say “bunch” or “group” and everybody knows exactly what you mean.

You’re already here.

Currently they’re the leading cause of a ceasefire between Israel and Gaza, but that doesn’t count does it.

Our new sucker-tentacled overlords.

+1 Insightful

It seems like most big changes are set in motion by elites who benefit from them, with the teeming masses convinced a) to go along and b) that they’re driving. Historically this could be because elites have had a pulpit, either from holding office or having access to publishing and more recently broadcasting. In really recent times the masses finally got access to a broad audience via the Internet, but since they mostly use it to post boobs and complain about game companies, elites are still in the driver’s seat.

It’s possible that being led around by a privileged few is just how humans work, and it’s up to enlightened individual elites to make parts of the world better for short periods while they’re alive.

That actually sounds like a good personal motto. For a long time mine has been, “There’s always more than one way,” but you’ve got me thinking.

lol thanks, and that’s actually not surprising.

No, the salutes happen after people already let it die.

How does one figure that out? I’ve seen Harris supporters generally called centrists, and centrists compared with nazis.

America is a big place, and how people will react to you depends entirely on where you go. Racial incidents increased after Trump took office in 2016 and they probably will again now, but in general you’re totally safe.

Reminder: Be sure to flair it as “Solved”!

“Don’t blame us for not voting, ThErE WeRe No GoOd ChOiCeS!”

Go ahead and call me a genocide supporter but I don’t think Harris would have done this.

“All your ideas are ours and you owe us money for thinking them” is actually a good summary of anti-AI sentiment.

Software dev myself (retired) and I’ve been very skeptical about AI generated code, but a friend of mine uses it daily in his work. During one of our in-person D&D games he told it to create a SQL Lite app to keep track of some game info, and in seconds he was using the app. AI is currently a super-emotional issue riddled with misinformation and fantasy, but there’s no denying its usefulness.

Oh good point, tbh I didn’t even remember it was also MLK day - but I thought that a National holiday? Maybe only in “woke” blue states IDK.

I think the E word in that book is Eye lol.

Well, reading comprehension hasn’t changed. I said “most” not “everyone”. Amazingly the world isn’t binary.

It made a bold move, Cotton.

Nice projection - those of us who voted for Harris even though she wasn’t ideal aren’t mature adults who tried to prevent the situation we’re in now, we’re just centrist nazis with our heads in the sand! Keep telling yourselves that when the SWAT team assaults your Moral Purity pedestal. The truth is that we actually tried and you didn’t.
