Ironically the day before tax day lol

I doubt it. This reeks of “if it happens so what, we’ll go with it.”

I probably would have done that a couple of months ago, but I only live here

I think you just summed up MAGA

Sent to a Concentration Camp. Call it what it is you ball less bastards.

Like a, idk, work visa? That you have to pay some money to the government? Like a tax?

I’m sorry, but I’ve met vegetables with more understanding of the world

Yeah. I think it would have involved nuclear annihilation at some point, and not because of USA vs Russia, but because the USA was pro nationalism-racism-authorotarianism-eugeniscm long before WW2.

Why do you think they happily looked the other way for so many scientists.

Grand Theft Ecstasy in my ass.

🤔

Ok, anyone wanna interpret that?

gestures generally around

But his idea of simulation theory and most of our ideas of simulation theory are not the same.

He thinks it means there are no consequences.

We all know it’s means the consequences might be simulated but they still suck.

I’ve seen some different sizes of fidget spinners, but no way is anyone that small lol

Some how, people don’t know this - the courts CAN enforce the law.

They don’t even need executive law enforcement to do it. That is the worst most depressing part about all of this. Hell, the supreme court has its own marshalls completely independent of the US Marshalls.

The courts can deputize their own Marshalls as they need. They have this power on purpose. Neglecting to use that power means they are complicit. And that is far scarier to me.

I don’t think it would just be DC. The people on the East Coast would probably handle that quicker than everyone west of the Mississippi River could get there.

But if either of these two get taken down, any buildings that house Republican HQs or conservative groups are going to have a sudden increase in insurance prices.

Mario Savio was speaking on terms of labor, but his “Bodies upon the gears speech” is extremely relevant, particularly the end.

There is a time when the operation of the machine becomes so odious, makes you so sick at heart, that you can’t take part! You can’t even passively take part! And you’ve got to put your bodies upon the gears and upon the wheels … upon the levers, upon all the apparatus, and you’ve got to make it stop! And you’ve got to indicate to the people who run it, to the people who own it, that unless you’re free, the machine will be prevented from working at all!

We have 5m people connected through protest. Arresting and deporting legal migrants is kiddnapping. Witholding international passports is violence. Skipping due process, kidnapping, and illegally imprisoning a US citizen, then refusing to fix it, is violence.

I physically cannot fight. I pass out simply standing or walking too long. Of course I have a kid to protect too. There are plenty of people who have little to no benefit to an armed resistance in force.

But we all have a part to play. They are not fighting fair, and nor should we. History has shown that guerilla resistance is absurdly effective against government lower. Ukraine. Syria. Iraq. Afghanistan, Vietnam.

Fascists are idiots, and inefficient. They are focused on the in group so much they make themselves vulnerable. We have technology that hasnt existed before. Chemists, 3d printers. Open Source software. It doesn’t have to be guns blazing and explosives.

Large crowds are awesome because if you kill one person in the crowd

The murderer is judged by a jury of his peers and sentenced then and there.

TBH they’ll all die of cancer before they ever finish that base.

But the Nazis didn’t actually have anywhere they thought they could go.

If these Nazis actually think they can get to Mars and start over, I’m all for it. They can take as many supplies as they want too, no questions asked. I wish Musk and the Nazis with him the best.

I don’t know what they expect when they get there, let alone how they expect to survive getting there, but that’s not my problem.

I really hope they take as many people as they can. Really.

And I hope they all take the most efficient path to Mars, rather than the fastest. And I hope they send them all in a very short time period, and Musk never bothers to read anything about the hazard of traveling in space outside of our magnetosphere.

The judges have power to enforce it.

If they do not, then the tyranny has almost complete power.

If they do, I suspect that violence will occur. I believe this is the outcome Trump is hoping for, because then he can skip the “almost” and completely sieze it through violent means.

I havent worked with assembly or any firmware in 10+ years, but from memory, I think it’s more like being a Witch Doctor. You got primitive things and no idea what they do, but the specific patterns and dances make things happen.

Man this is just another great example of why I think software is essentially magic.

At the root of it, the hardware, it’s magic smoke. It’s all based on magic from that point up - because the layer below the one you are using “works because it does.”
