It’s crazy how people go out of their way to ask chatbots for things it would be easier to do the normal way. A while back I saw someone post that they asked ChatGPT for a random seed for a new Minecraft world. ffs! It’s literally built into the game to automatically generate a random seed when creating a new world without you doing anything.
Right! For example I found out people are organizing like in Minneapolis for if/when ICE ramps up anything here. There were people handing out cards with a number to call to report ICE activity and others organizing to help affected families. Respect to Minneapolis for being a model for the country.
Unfortunately with a population of almost 350 million people, it will take more like 12 million to hit the 3.5% (not 3%), so there’s still a ways to go. Each one has been bigger than the previous one so maybe it’s possible, especially if the consequences of this idiotic war get really bad for the average USian–and I don’t see how that won’t get way way worse.
The other thing about that paper with the 3.5% thing, it was talking about sustained protests, not just one every few weeks or months.
On the bright side I don’t see how trump will be able to pretend to be compos mentis for even another year, let alone the rest of his term. But on the dim side, his regime will remain in place even if he’s goes tomorrow.
I thought the point of Christianity was that everyone deserves mercy?
There are many sects of “Christianity”. A flavor for every world view. These are Christian Nationalists. Their version of it has little to do with such woke things as “mercy”. It’s mostly an authoritarian view with a strict hierarchy.
Did he consider that if his prayer was granted, he’d get a lightning bolt right up his own ass?
That reminds me of a Lily Tomlin joke: “The other day I bought a little wastebasket and brought it home in a paper bag. Then I crumpled up the paper bag and put it in the wastebasket.” A lot of her stand-up act was just making little ironic observations like that.
Yep! And that’s not going to go over well with the more well-to-do business and political frequent flyers that have been either supporting trump or looking the other way for him. There’s no way ICEholes will be able to act civilized or in any other way than the outlaw thug lifestyle to which they’ve become accustomed.
I just read that Homan has confirmed they’re going to start tomorrow (Monday). I wonder if they’ll be wearing camo and masks, or will just be cosplaying in TSA uniforms. Either way, they won’t be able to hide who they are and they’ll be treating people like shit. They won’t know what to do if they can’t wave a gun in their faces to make them obey.
Great, do it! That should go over really really well. 🤣 And keep them from going out and doing their gestapo duties while they’re at it.
Nothing but a pig dressed in a suit, too stupid to be embarrassed by its own behavior.
Those were the days. Also, remember when we got catalogs in the mail?
Thanks, this is the kind of information I’m looking for.
Clearly you haven’t seen many signatures. Mine is a scrawl that no one could identify, and I learned cursive a long, long time ago.
I’m old and have seen very many signatures of cursive writers so I know that most are scrawl-like and only slightly resemble the letters they’re based on. What I haven’t seen is signatures of the non-cursive-knowing signers, which is why I’m asking the question and hoping to get responses from those who never learned cursive.
For people who learned cursive, it’s natural and intuitive to develop a unique, flowing signature that’s hard for someone else either to forge or even guess what it might look like. So my question is trying to understand if those who’ve only ever printed also develop unique signatures like that, or if their signatures look closer to how they would normally print their name.
(moved to an edit in my OP)
I only read the quote that was posted, which didn’t actually criticize the regime or anything. Sounds pretty tame to me.
Probably anyone over 40-45 or so who reached adulthood before smartphones became a thing. The first iphone was 2007 and it was still a while before everyone had one and the addictive apps took them over. So even if they had cell phones in their teens or tweens they would only have been talking and texting with their friends on them, IOW socially interacting face to face with people most of the time.
Conan thinking: “Let’s see now, how can I make a giant party that’s nothing but a mutual admiration society for a bunch of rich people seem somehow OK to do while people are suffering all over in a world that’s falling apart because our country just started WWIII but it doesn’t affect us because did I mention we’re all rich as hell and just spent 150 grand each on our outfits that we’ll wear only this once?” sigh "I suppose I have to say something because the poors are watching and we want them to keep watching our movies to escape from their dismal lives for a while.*
*clears throat* “Let us celebrate — not because we think all is well — but because we work and hope for better”
“Yeah, that sounds good”

edit: Yall downvoters love those multi-millionaires, huh? What do you find admirable about them? That they’re prettier than the tech-bro nerdy kind of rich? That they only make hundreds of millions instead of billions, only own a couple mansions and just the one private jet?
What if you put “20 bricks or 20 feathers?” without mentioning the word “pounds” at all? I wonder if it would latch onto the same riddle.
You could try talking to older people who didn’t grow up with a phone plastered to their face so it wouldn’t be weird for them.
Looking at your comment history I see you work tirelessly to destroy morale of activists and discourage Americans from taking any action. The maga regime thanks you for your support.
