I’m not going further into her black hole than that. (Someone linked it directly at one point, but I don’t tend to keep x links, so this is from a search.)

Do you realize JKR posted about her experience laughing at a rape victim who called into her help line because she thought the voice sounded manly?

Our PM is a banker and they think we’re too far left? So unserious.

I think it is a great idea so long as the billionaires go there to stay with the data centres for maintenance purposes. They are the only geniuses who can do it!

Oh, no, they wouldn’t do that. That’s murder! No, no, they shoot the grandkids in the legs and arms, then complain they’re lazy and entitled and say nothing was done to them. Bring your popcorn, and if you’re feeling generous, you can smother it in crude and offer it to the grandkids.

Actually, I’m also reminded of TMBG.

Does the cancer get her instead?

But can anyone tell me how’s the DOW doing?

Penelope, you are buying underwear with bows. There are plenty without. I assume this is your underwear fashion choice.

Maybe we can show this to the Alberta separatists and tell them they’ve already missed their chance? Bah, they’d probably just find a way to do something even stupider.

Americans should be so lucky!

Seems like something an old Sherlock Holmes would do.

• It came on the heels of a court case that said Trump could only build his ballroom if there was a legitimate security concern (and all the right wing media had posts ready for ballroom support)
• He (Trump) had never attended before now
• The response from the SS seemed… lacklustre at best.
• Karoline Leavitt said that everyone should watch because there would be shots fired.
• He (the shooter) was entirely ineffectual.
• Right wing women are so botox’ed that no one could see them being upset; right wing men were standing behind their wives.

Personally… fake is not exactly the answer, but it’s oh so convenient, and given that people were sending in tips about him before this, I suspect that if they hadn’t wanted this to happen, they’d have done security normally and he’d have been removed from the premises before he shot. But maybe I’m just underestimating how bad the US government’s security has become since they fired so many people.

Ah, lucky. All the banks around me seem to require it now. My kingdom for an independent authenticator they’d accept!

How do you get around 2FA? I was able to stay off of phones for so long, but the standard 2FA implementation has made it impossible.

I thought these were jobs Americans wanted to fill. I’m pretty sure I heard that line from Republicans… I guess I’m a little surprised they aren’t just bringing the ICE detainees directly out to the fields.

I suspect you’re significantly more screwed than just one next president.

Remember when everyone was up in arms against China for their social credit score? I guess it’s fine as long as it’s administered by a billionaire.

This is how they kill open source.

Hm. I think that if you don’t have empathy for more than your own immediate friends and family, you don’t have empathy. You have concern over how other people’s pain directly impacts you. That’s egoism, not empathy.

Plus, Epstein considered all the rest of them targets too, just a different type.

I’m aphantasic. Until people started really talking about how they “see” things in their heads, I assumed it was all just a figure of speech. Flashbacks, thought bubbles, daydreams in media… I assumed that was all just, you know, an easy way to get the information across. Now I know you freaks actually see stuff and the mind’s eye isn’t some convenient turn of phrase. Weirdos!

In a similar vein, I have empathy. It is difficult for me to intuitively understand the perspective of someone who doesn’t have any. As an example, it’s hard for me to understand a person who’s exploiting children a la Epstein. And in truth, I don’t want to understand them, either. Even knowing how many of them are the way they are… if I had a little less introspection, I’d probably just default to “they’re just like us.”
