I’m glad to contribute to that metric.

No sane person who has been paying attention to global politics would make that mistake. I’ve been watching Canada’s elections with a lot of wary interest. It looks like they’ll be ok. For now.

Gotta love the hollow morality in telling users they’ve been psychologically manipulated this time but yet do nothing about the tens of thousands of bots doing the exact same thing 24/7 the rest of the time.

~30% of the people seem to be the mark for “will actively vote for fascism to destroy the country because of my prejudice and hatreds.”

It was 32% for us in the US.

It was 33% for Hitler and the Nazis in ‘32.

Need like twenty signs with just trump in the same format: Fraud, Domestic Abuser, Rape, Bribery, etc.

/checks to see if it’s Colorado Springs

Of course it is.

Right wing AF. I don’t think many people have a clue how insanely god-squad right wing the USAF Academy is. It’s cult-like.

What was so great about the first term? The only thing that kept that from being a disaster was the fact that people stopped him from doing so many shitty things. Now he’s ignoring everyone including the courts.

Trump’s promise? I don’t remember him promising much anything at all until the very tail end of the campaign, and even then it was kinda offhand. OTOH, the troll farms were in absolute overdrive talking about eggs, groceries, worthless higher education, gas prices (even though they are higher now) and of course bashing Harris over tons of things that weren’t even jobs she had the authority to do.

That’s 1375.

Not good, not bad. Depends on where you ended up on the globe. There absolutely is civilization, but it’s all kings and Tsars and the like. The English and French Hundred Years War is winding down but the plague really did a number on Europe. Lots of war in India. It wasn’t a great time in the Middle East what with the Crusades and all. The Egyptians are conquering Armenia. The Songhai Emprire is growing in Eastern Africa. Southeast Asia had a lot of conquest and a large kingdom growing, might not have been so bad as long as you landed on the winning side. The Ming Dynasty just started in China.

So it’s not like you ended up in pre-civilization or among dinosaurs or something. There are plenty of people around, but it’s still an age of war and conquest. Your best bet to have a great life would be to ally yourself with a strong leader and give them advancements to help that leader “win”. Of course, if he were defeated, you’d be slowly tortured and killed by the opposing side.

I’m going to learn how to:

Program with a basic language

Sketch a still life

Draw Celtic knotwork

Run for my health

Do photography with my phone camera

Etc.

All of these are cheap or free with tools one probably already has. You can take decent pics with a phone, you already have pencils, paper, and pens, and programming can be learned for free online (assuming you have a laptop or PC to work with it on)

Following his orders = the law. He makes up the law, follow his orders.

That’s what dictators do.

Sovereigns are selfish. Same as Tea Partiers, Libertarians, whatever… It’s not about actual freedom. It’s about keeping your money and especially making sure nobody else gets any of it outside the sphere of sovereign’s immediate use. No roads, schools, libraries, medicare, FEMA…none of that unless it affects them personally.

Edit: a word

100%.

Law - the whims of the king and his agents regardless of what the written law is. The written law will be ignored or interpreted and then modified retroactively to suit the king’s whims. The law only applies to opponents, critics, outgroups, minorities, and those that can be interpreted as foreign. The king and his sycophants can get away with whatever they want.

Can’t argue with “Order”.

If you have to tell deliberate lies to influence people then that isn’t democracy. That’s fascism or at least a kakistocracy - the worst and stupidest rule because they can’t get elected otherwise. Fuck twisting the First Amendment into a tool of lies and corruption.

Dr. WebMD just tells you every disease is terminal. Dr. ChatGPT cites a reddit post that tells you a sore throat means you should kill yourself.

Dr. Tiktok and Dr. Instagram, I presume.

Thanks.

Anyone got a battery range on this vehicle?

And so nothing changes and probably continues to get worse.
