Yeah? Are more than 71 million people protesting? If so, where the fuck were you on Tuesday? And if not, well, I understand you don’t like the election result but this isn’t going to achieve anything.

Fuck, if only the road was clear BEFORE the election…

Assuming Trump is the turkey in this instance.

This is probably more valid than some think. Trump and his cronies are a clear threat to the country and must be eliminated before the damage is done.

AI being pumped into everything. It drives me absolutely nuts that every fucking thing has to have AI. Now you can buy a laptop that uses AI to write an email, just so the receiver can use AI to summarise it. We’re going to start using computers to develop enormous amounts of crap before we finally realise that putting the effort into writing, reading, drawing, designing etc. is actually worthwhile. Don’t get me wrong, I see several use cases for AI where it’s very good, and studied genetic algorithms at uni (i.e. software that can rewrite itself given feedback on its output), but what is being pushed on us now will just encourage laziness and ultimately be a detriment to humans in general.

I feel that divergence is what made DS9 so good. Instead of travelling around exploring aliens, we’re stationary exploring ourselves and our politics. It was a great idea to make a show about a completely different aspect of Starfleet life. Unfortunately, in my opinion, the last great idea they had.

I’d love to see Trump use a power tool. As soon as he scratches his head with a nailgun all our problems will be over.

War always favours the incumbent at election time, so the cynic in me thinks the US is dragging its feet quite purposely.

The standard you walk past is the standard you accept, and all I’m seeing is a lot of the world walking past if not enabling. It’s all very well for world leaders to point out the obvious but until something is done about it, it’s just hot air.

Well, yes. Preferential voting is one key component, the other being a decent media so the public have an idea of what’s going on. Unfortunately Murdoch owns just about everything, and it’s a problem we’re still battling against.

Part of the solution is definitely weeding out the people purposely working against the good of the country.

Yes. That’s how proxies work.

Is it zero? I like to think it’s zero.

Well at least 2016 got us “Pokemon Go… to the polls!” Eeesh

You know how you have to prepare your house when someone is bringing their kids over (especially if you don’t have kids of your own) ? That what this is. Things have got so bad that they have to bring in a bunch of new rules just so one adult can finish speaking without a other “adult” talking over them the whole time. Holy shit, this is what it has come to.

Nobody expects the Spanish Inquisition!

And she’s a cunt, right?

I’m not from the US so I’m not entirely sure what was wrong, but fair enough I guess.
