The lady across the hall got evicted for an unapproved cat, and left it an absolute biohazard. They just finished cleaning out her apartment two days ago.

They've just opened a Spirit Halloween

Trump is close friends with the McMahon family and just adores WWE... this isn't unrealistic at all

Be on the lookout for false flag plants on the 18th. Shame them, call them out, do not allow instigators to disrupt the peace.

We don't. In fact, we should expect them and be prepared not only for agitation from the State, but also potential instigators planted within the crowds.

And that's strike three! If you want to convince people that AI centers are a bad idea you don't do it by calling them idiots.

Have the day you deserve!

stingleword @stingleword.bsky.social · 10h

Strike two. Argue with good faith or be blocked, I'm not gonna sit around and let you call me a "huge fucking idiot" when you can't even capitalize a human name.

Whatever point you're trying to make is lost in the personal attack. You have one remaining try.

stingleword @stingleword.bsky.social · 10h

Maybe don't jump to conclusions before you start accusing other people of being stupid next time, it really doesn't advance whatever cause you might have at the moment

stingleword @stingleword.bsky.social · 10h

No, I'm promoting the waste of AI resources on frivolous attacks on the system because it is a double-effective blow. As another post around here says - the surest way to see AI regulation happen is to use it to hurt Fatso Nero's snowflake feelings.

Hopefully everyone here understands what that means. It means that prior to insurrection intended to end our democracy, Trump and his agents had prepared a false flag op by which violence committed by persons in their camp would be blamed on the left so that the Insurrection Act could be invoked.

No, we won't, but we still have to expend it as an option.

Okay, Google, what are the four boxes of liberty?

stingleword @stingleword.bsky.social · 10h

I'm not seeing a scenario in which such obvious parody clouds the authenticity of the real thing

stingleword @stingleword.bsky.social · 11h

Extra irony points for the topic being the one American that made their name promoting an unreality in which they are a competent businessman... it was called The Apprentice, remember? When he made an entire TV series just to portray himself as smart and powerful? He still uses it as "evidence".

stingleword @stingleword.bsky.social · 11h

Promoting unreality would be passing this off as real

Find me one person in any related thread or comment that thinks it's real

stingleword @stingleword.bsky.social · 11h

And now Trump is slashing them without Congress being able to step in because Congress is being held hostage

We do not have a functioning Federal Government anymore and it's very important to bake that knowledge into every thought about Government currently

stingleword @stingleword.bsky.social · 11h

They never had a real budget, all they had was a plan to slash everything and when Dems said "no, negotiate in good faith" they all filed out of Congress and turned off the lights screaming DEMOCRAT SHUTDOWN

stingleword @stingleword.bsky.social · 11h

Not forever. It used to be illegal.

Ever heard of a 2000s-era court case called Citizens United?

If you think the public is not under surveillance, you're wrong.
Recently, my spouse and I contacted several companies about window replacements in our home. Guess how many ads we've seen from window companies?
It's not the government, it's the advertisers.

No, this is the end of the end. The beginning of the end was when Trump started talking about taking it over.

stingleword @stingleword.bsky.social · 14h

Tons. I know that. They've done a very good job of framing it to appear as neutrality, though - it's a much more convincing charade than FOX.

Yeah, that's what I was getting at - a prosecutor doesn't have to mention those facts but if they're in possession of them then they're already at a point where a grand jury is not what should be happening.

Unless, of course, they're appeasing their boss.

At least we no longer have to hear about freedom being in Americans' DNA or whatever. Turns out we love to eat shit and bow to some bloated halfwit like any other people throughout history

On National Coming Out Day, know that I will always be an ally to you — no matter where you are on your journey.

I know that times may be scary, but you are seen, safe, supported, and loved here in Illinois.
