If he was that competent why would he resort to openly pumping and dumping meme coins in public just prior to this stunt.

He has some dangerous strings he can pull, but that doesn't make him a good puppet master.

Correct me if I'm wrong but I'm pretty sure he gave an outlandish bid for Twitter to manipulate it's stock prices when he pulled put, but he was sued into following through.

I don't think he ever wanted to buy it, or at least he wanted to crash it's value to come back and buy it on the cheap.

There are multiple cases where pure chance and human hesitation prevented all out nuclear bombardment in the Cold War.

So for that alone we are extremely lucky.

Ultimately I believe you can't claim to be an activist if you are promoting inaction.

If voting doesn't matter then vote and do more. Doing less to change things is functionally conservative no matter how you spin it.

This would he concerning if I wasn't convince that Walz would sit him down and correct him like a disappointed father.

If anyone could make a politician seem like a child to their face it'd be him, and especially if that politician is Vance.

Humans have advanced far but hardly changed.

I don't find them funny but more amazed that we've distilled the concept into an immortal simple symbol.

Like kilroy or the cool S, loss will ironically never be lost ~~:.|:;~~

I feel the specificity is to drive home the point to the target of this message. You can generalize advice to be more accurate and apply to more people, but it'll be as wide as an ocean and deep as a puddle.

People are really great at excluding themselves from general advice like "don't worry about judgement", they need to feel like the message is tailored to their own experiences.

You can definitely recycle the message with a male or gender neutral tone, but that'll lead to different conversations. Sometimes people don't want to speak out to a generic broad audience, they want a more specific conversation.

I for one believe Bugs is Cis and thus is the worlds biggest drag queen icon.

Hopefully the loopholes of executive power that enabled that crackpot plan will be closed up by then...

Yeah I know, a lot to ask for.

It was, infact, not all good there.

From a game theory perspective, a trumper discouraged to vote is worth 1 vote, a flipped Republican vote is worth 2 votes.

So the appeal to the right makes sense if it works, because every vote from that camp is also a negative vote from Trump.

I'm a Tans Pan Girl who's a little ENBY but still she/her. Obligatory I like programming, D&D, and MTG.

I made the transition (heh) from Reddit and it's been surprisingly smooth. I initially set up base in Sh.itjust.works but after seeing 196 and SapphicArt (please post more there) I moved to Blahaj.

I was worried there wouldn't be enough content or gay energy for my 12 hour work day but the 196 rule is ingenious for quickly populating a social network.
