you know, there are people living outside of usa

this makes me wonder how many spicy autocomplete fakes like that aren't caught

for more context, the boring liberal mayor got just north of 30%; the fuckass nobody pulled from depths of conservative party apparatus couple of months ago got just south of 30%; there's 21% split between two far right fuckers, one conspiracy friendly, catholic extremist (6%) and one that pretends to not be (15%); 10% split between three socdems; 5% for former "got talent" host targeting the mythical swing voter; and 2% split between some random weirdos, 1.2% of which goes to a streamer

PSA that Nadella, Musk, saltman (and handful of other techfash) own dials that can bias their chatbots in any way they please. If you use chatbots for writing anything, they control how racist your output will be

France accounts for some half of signatures, and also that's where this campaign is coordinated from

Croatia had some 70% just in final day, but Denmark stayed at some 80ish the entire time. I've only heard about this petition from lemmy, maybe a couple of posts there and here made it work in some cases but not in others

all while your fellow minefield-walkers will sell your leftover organs for profit

(this fucker is responsible for soapbox, which is frontend used almost invariably by nazi-packed pleroma instances. among other crimes of similar nature)

there are elections next sunday and it's likely that next president will be a lib

their original promise was that: you will be able to plug a jar to a controller, download instructions and it will make medicine for you, no knowledge of chemistry needed. i think it was one talk before this one where they claimed to make an antiviral (still under patent) and gave away some pills of it for free. i don't think they made it in a way that matters, they didn't show their pathway, they didn't show analyses they say they made, they don't say what they used as a starting material and how they got it, and they didn't provide anything in way of formulation or other three drugs needed in that treatment (iirc). it might be very well that their costs are even higher per pill than what usual distribution will charge, but they don't say any of that, and it might be just as possible that if more people did that starting material supply would dry out. (or they might be just lying) worse than that, while they might do some analyses, it's not included or expected in jar and controller scenario, so there's no real quality control and if released, this alone can be reasonably expected to kill people. i'm not sure if they even released anything workable in this capacity (they also claim that they made pyrimethamine, but it's also after nilered made it, so they might just copy his process. it's simpler thing)

what they're doing later: there's this horse medicine that you can use as (more dangerous, less effective) ersatz plan B, or this estradiol thing, it's much less sketchy because they don't cook anything, they "just" formulate an API they get from somewhere else, but it's still a fair bit sketchier than using fish antibiotics in humans because for example massive accidental overdose is still quite likely
