NO FUCKING WORKING CLASS PERSON IS GIVING $5000 TO ANY POLITICAL CAMPAIGN

Dude 5k is absolutely within reach of many working class retirees, especially widows. They do give that much and more. But that’s not the point.

Those old widows aren’t working, and probably never did.

Working class has never meant currently working, or even formerly working. But that’s not the point.

Now they just sit around taking up space, driving up house prices

Is this a “useless eater” argument? A person’s ability is not what gives them the right to not be murdered. But even that is not the point.

Selling out their children’s future to the next dipshit conman that comes along.

Is this defending generational wealth inheritance? Because that’s part of how we got here. At least be consistent. But that is not the point.

People who have 5k to piss away aren’t working for that money

Again many working class retirees have some combination of retirement savings, pension, SSI, SSDI, insurance and LTC vehicles, etc, that can put 5k of liquid assets within reach, even if it costs them dearly. But that’s not the point.

You start from the top down until you get the changes you want.

Only for the true global elite would top-down be a sound strategy, and again the elites won’t be on your list because they give differently. And it’s only sound because it associates wealth itself with risk, directly counteracting their incentive for further oppression/profit. But that’s not the point.

The point: if you murder people for the way they vote, or even threaten to do so, you become a fascist yourself.

This isn’t how we win. Get your ass into therapy before hate consumes you.

Oh that was just for other readers. Of course you and I know it’s from the German teurer bescheuerter Irrtum.

TBI = severe bump to noggin

You guys did once have a successful working relationship. It’s not entirely out of the question. International coordination will be important by the end, regardless.

That said, Americans appear to already be actively protesting every day in most states. Mostly civil but a few have gotten spicy. I’ve not seen any fire-bombing-the-police levels of spiciness we saw in France, so I guess Americans could step up their game.

But it’s really hard to say because coverage right now is evidently being heavily suppressed across all major news sources and digital platforms. Like a couple times now I’ve seen live streams of big active and loud protests that I can’t find any trace of the following day, even in archives, as if it never happened. I need to learn how to record livestreams if only to remind myself I’m not crazy. I guess we’re all still adapting to the new normal.

Shall I compare thee to a Summer’s day?

the “great American experiment” is over

It’s not over till it’s over, comrade.

I saw this weird behavior called “vice signaling” a few years back and I’ve used the term ever since. It’s the perfect name for their anti-woke anti-anti-fascist demonstrations because “virtue signaling” is what they call acts of basic decency.

For example, Reagan spent additional government funds just to remove the solar panels from the roof of the White House because they were wasteful since solar “didn’t work.” Clearly, the more wasteful choice of removing them was justified. Smh

Nice. Will they put Brawndo ads on the Washington Monument?

I remember this. The petition was more about security assurance than a specific accusation, and the letter from Spoonamore was sus because he is a known attention-seeking alarmist (and sole-proprietor of a cybersecurity consulting company that he pumps a lot).

Spoonamore cried wolf too many times to be taken very seriously, but also his “analysis” is weirdly unspecific just like his deflection in interviews. It honestly felt like those “security alert!” popups from fake antivirus software, if that makes sense, like the point isn’t security just the alert.

Ultimately the gold standard for verification is random sample hand counts, and several rounds of these confirmed software tallies within very small margins. That basically closes the case, because if they “hacked” the hand counts, it would mean the conspiracy went well beyond tampering with voting software.

Uh, 5k? Your biggest hitlist demographic is senile old widows, the trifecta of Trump’s favorite target donor groups.

Killing them would not only be evil, it would only serve Trump. The top donors use super PACs and give way more than 5k, but the list of elites backing Trump and toppling democracies globally requires no doxxing, because they own public companies.

Do not kill working class Republican voters.

But it is absolutely the kind of mistake they would make.

Hello, this is John Cleese. If you doubt that this is the real John Cleese, here is my mother to confirm that I am, in fact, me. Mother! Am I me?

Oh yes!

There you have it. I am me.

They have a simplistic tit-for-tat moral code and ignore the relative degree of contempt telegraphed by different ethnic slurs. Trouble seems to find this sort of person wherever they are. They will not accept your advice. Best to move on.

I mean, inappropriate comments are ever-present when this politician has the spotlight, from the very beginning of her career. On first read I thought this was just another, and someone’s opinion re: AOC tells you a lot about them as a person. The mass downvotes on comments in this thread are a clue, for example. Some people have a curiously strong urge to put her in “her place.”

She’s always been such an action hero. Even now as the conservatives are emboldened. Tell me who’s gonna lead the god damn revolution.

Just a tip: if you must use consumer editions of Windows regularly, consider adding an automatic provisioning tool like AME to your workflow.

The example above uses customizable “playbooks” to provision a system the way docker compose would a container image, so it can fill the role of a VM snapshot or PXE in non-virtualized local-only scenarios.

The most popular playbooks strip out AI components and services (there are many more than just Recall) but also disable all telemetry and cloud-based features, replace MS bloatware with preferred OSS, curtail a truckload of annoying Windows behaviors, setup more sensible group policies than the defaults, and so forth.

I have a few custom playbooks for recurring use cases so that, when one presents, I can spin up an instance quickly without the usual hassle and risk.

you could at least

Note: here “it would be nice if” is more polite, since the least one could have done is always

I wouldn’t necessarily say fantasy. Grover’s only requires 2n qubits to brute force, where n is # of bits mod N.

So consider RSA 2048 / AES 128. Still common. You’re probably in range of wifi that uses it. That would only require ~4096 qbs to brute force. For reference, Osprey (2022) had 400+ qbs and Condor (2023) has 1k+ (with ECC it’s lower but can’t remember how much).

Probably within a decade you can rent a machine with enough for these older protocols, and that’s not a very long time to hold onto data if it’s potentially high value. So “fantasy” might be a stretch.

sure why not. asl?

For those with pocket change left over this holiday season, the Lumafield Neptune industrial CT scanner can be yours starting at 750K USD. To use it only costs 54-75K USD annually.
