This is jamming up my heuristics. I don't trust anything coming out of Florida , and certainly not when a trump ally is involved. But also fuck Altman.

From the other detailed coverage someone linked

Jones has no criminal history, according to court documents. He reported mental health treatment needs for schizophrenia.

This is downstream from the stochastic terrorism stuff. Right wing ghouls pump ideas out there about how trans folks are a danger, and eventually someone acts on it. The ghouls then go about their business with no consequences.

I mean, capitalists seem like they would be happy to just have slaves and all the nice things for themselves.

I did not intend to claim my college dinner conversation was a flawless political system, heh.

It may have come from the idea that in firing squads, some of the executioners have blanks.

But you're probably right, its probably simpler and fine not to have fake voters. Though it would be funny to have some honey pots..

That's a difference between left and right. Conservatives value in-group loyalty more than truth or consistency. They fall in line. Feels good in their brain.

This is an effective strategy, at least unless whatever objective reality they're rejecting catches up with them.

I remember in college sort of independently coming up with the idea (there'd be a large pool of representatives, to make bribery harder. And I think we had an idea of like some of them their votes secretly won't count at the end, so your bribe might not even count)

Then one of my friends linked me to the wiki page and I was like "oh"

Rich people don't want to give anything up.

Assholes don't want their out-group to have anything nice. Even if it means they suffer.

Many people don't know shit about fuck, and they're just trying to get through the week.

The dark urge, as a warlock. Shit. Could be worse.

(Side note: I keep starting and abandoning Baldur's gate 3 because I really do not enjoy DND as a rule system.)

My dad used to rant about how government should be run like a business,

Anyone who sincerely believes that is too fucking ignorant and or stupid to be taken seriously. They're a hazard to themselves and their polity.

In the King James Version, this is translated as:

For God so loved the world, that He gave His only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in Him should not perish, but have everlasting life.

I don't understand what he wants the pedestrian to do. Not cross at all? Wait until there's no traffic?

Management are assholes and idiots.

Nothing will get better without demands. People need to organize.

But if I've learned anything from history, it's that the ownership class would rather murder all of their employees than give a few dollars more a day.
