  • genocide jill is perfectly fine with genocides except for the one that’s hot in the news right now.

    by the way, those people are who are being genocided in the genocide hot in the news right now? they support kamala harris.

    you don’t care about genocide. especially that one. because if you did you would be voting for her. it’s either you hate israel or you just refuse to vote for a black woman or you want to vote for trump or some combination of the 3.



  • nate silver created a brand new thing in 2008, and it only took the ratfuck industry 14 years to figure out how to manipulate polls to promote an image that does not exist. and the corporate media, the corporate political media specifically, has gotten so lazy with it’s predictably and highly inaccurate “both side”-erism coverage of politics that they will take any poll, report it as highly credible (because polling drives everything, even ones where specific people are selected “randomly” to drive narratives).

    these are the same polling outfits who will find the evangelical black gay trans person who is also maga and use that obvious statistical outlier to promote a surge in multiple demographics towards trump.



  • EVERYONE out pizzas the hut.

    pizza hut is bad chain pizza.

    this has been my opinion since the early 90s and nothing during that time has changed my opinion.

    meanwhile domino’s has gotten markedly better since 2000. if I’m traveling and don’t want to think about what to eat, I’m getting domino’s because I know they’re everywhere. them or papa johns depending on what deal is going on at the time.


  • part of me shitting on third parties is the fact they enable the bad stuff they want to happen, see the elections of 2000 and 2016. but it also needs to be pointed out, repeatedly, loudly, this other point you just nade:

    IT IS STATISTICALLY IMPOSSIBLE FOR A THIRD PARTY CANDIDATE TO WIN ENOUGH ELECTORAL VOTES TO BECOME PRESIDENT.

    they don’t have an answer for that. if they do respond they never address that specific point only saying well enough people just have to vote third party.

    none of these people have any clue how our government or elections or voting works. I’ll bet some of them are convinced that because the cheneys endorsed harris it means she’s an even bigger genocider even though they both have said they don’t agree with her politics except for the politics that preserve the constitution. they’re dead enders man.


  • it’s all about party purity for them.

    I’ll be honest here. I’m not a registered democrat. never have been. I find myself aligning mostly with the greens on a lot of issues. but I’m never voting for a green. because I know that if I want stuff that I favor to happen, voting for a party that never campaigns, never organizes, and never puts up credible people who have done the public service work isn’t just a fool’s errand it’s political idiocy. that’s why I vote for democrats.

    I know they aren’t perfect. but I also know they know how to organize and get shit done politically, even if they water down their own legislation to appeal to their conservative wing and water it down even more to appeal to republican who will never vote for it but I digress.

    the point of elections is to set the government at whatever level to go in the direction you want. and voting for the option that will only win in a microscopic probability but is more likely to make it easier for the party and candidate I vehemently disagree with to win is beyond stupid, it’s purposefully destructive. to what end? it makes no sense.


  • I still have my note 9. i have 2 other devices that are my dailies so it’s in semi retirement as a nightstand clock. I haven’t had a need to do stuff with it since for all intent and purposes it’s a clock now but I may give lineage a try since I probably won’t do anything else with it.

    the only reason I haven’t rooted it is because I had heard rooting breaks nfc payments. I’m trying not to pull my physical wallet out if I can help it and payment is important to me otherwise it would have been done long before now.


  • I don’t think that you need any more proof that all of these pop up third party efforts are simply republicans funding some of the most ostentatious left wingers out there in order to ratfuck democratic presidential efforts. none of these people can win 270 electoral votes because they aren’t on enough ballots to get there. FACT.

    anyone who tells you that they can still win is a political idiot who doesn’t know what they’re talking about and should be ignored or someone with a vested interest in making sure that democrats get fewer votes than they should letting the only other viable party option win. left wingers included.

    if there were a real serious third party looking at real electoral victories they should start organizing at the local level with a real long term strategy of growth and do it for all years, not just the ones divisible by 4. by not doing anything except in a presidential election year they are only reinforcing and perpetuating the “corrupt duopoly” they hate so much.


  • i had to login for some functions at work. i believe the minimums were 8 characters, 1 caapitol, 1 number. and we all hated it, because the passwords had to be changed every 90 days, and you couldn’t reuse passwords. eventually you are going to run out of things you can reasonably use that you could remember and then would be forced to use some sort of password manager. but OOPSIE you couldn’t install any software on the office computer so you would have to resort to writing them down somewhere. it was a mess.

    fortunately corporate decided to just change the entire system adopting most of these rules, min 15 characters, no special character, no hints, no forced changing passwords unless you think you have been compromised or just want to change it. we do have to use 2fa to access some things if you aren’t sitting at the office computer but other than that people are much happier about passwords now.


  • there are too many points of failure for me to ever be comfortable using the cloud as a primary storage option.

    i’ve always maintained this opinion when “the cloud” started being touted as being the future. and yet more corporations (including mine) are reliant on it. i mean sure, i can log in on my home computer and have some access to stuff as though i were physically at the office but that convenience ain’t worth the headache if the main storage site crashes.






  • if he actually is innocent, the absolutely best thing for him to do is to get them over with, then when he is acquited he can use his witch hunt and fake news talking points and gain votes.

    pushing all of these trials and trying to bank on winning an election to get out of the majority of these charges (he can’t get around georgia that easily) is a 1% strategy in my opinion. that’s how I know he’s guilty. his entire post indictment behavior is one of a guilty party. I don’t really need to follow each case that closely to come to that conclusion. trump has telegraphed that he’s guilty.

    I’m just worried that someone in his cult might end up on one of the juries.
