Thirteen?

They’ll just go after the people who can recite the names of every person in the state of Illinois.

Anything bad == capitalism.

The Suckening was 24 years ago. That fact just gets funnier and funnier as the number goes up.

But he’s the dev. If we defederate we won’t get support, and since the software is a janky piece of crap we need that support.

Still alive?

They come and go, they come and gooooo.

I read the caption before I took a good look at the picture and I assumed that “floaties” meant something very different.

Nooo!!! Anyone with money is inherently evil! The only way to help the world is to ensure that none of us ever rise above the level of a wage-slave drone! Anyone who even approaches a position where they might be able to make an actual difference must be attacked mercilessly!

Which really runs against the “Everything Trump does is actually Russia!” line that gets posted around here incessantly. There’s nothing Putin would want more than to have access to those briefings, but his useful idiot is too much of an idiot to be useful here. Trump is on Putin’s side, sure, but most of what he does, especially in this term, is the result of home-grown American authoritarianism, not orders from Russia.

That’s why, when you’ve got a bunch of people attacking a kung-fu master, you’ve always got to attack one at a time. Otherwise you’ll just get in each other’s way.

Reminds me of that mission in Shadowrun: Hong Kong where your team of cyber-hacker mercenaries is hired to maliciously re-arrange the furniture in a corporate office.

If the collapse was going to happen anyway then it would’ve been best for Trump to sit out the election and let it happen under Biden’s watch.

The thing is, it doesn’t really benefit anyone. If you’re Russia, for instance, it would be better to destroy the entire democratic world than just the United States, and Trump could have done that if he’d just moved more slowly on some of his actions (for instance, if he’d remained quiet about Canada until after our election then we’d be in a very different situation now.) Trump’s just an idiot, plain and simple, and the people he surrounds himself with are either idiots themselves or too cowardly to call the idiots out on their idiocy.

It’s a mistake to think that either he or his handlers have some kind of master plan and that everything Trump does is the result of expert manoeuvring that just looks like stupidity. That promotes defeatism and gets people to surrender prematurely. As long as people stand up to Trump, he will lose.

But what if they made Internet posts about guillotines while they watched?

Most anthropologists and archaeologists are too old for that.

Except that velocity includes a direction component while neither distance nor time do. This would be a speedraptor.

I thought that was a filter.
