Unfortunately that is pretty much how it’s been going.

I’m not saying it isn’t total horseshit that needs to be gone, I’m just saying that is how the math works.
Say you have a total of 10 voters. If two anti-fascist parties are split with 3 voters going to one party and 3 voters going with the other, but the fascists are more unified and get 4 voters, neither antifascist party has enough votes despite having a total of more voters, so the fascist party wins. Notice how both Anti-fascist parties sabotaged themselves by not being unified. It may be news to you but that is how First Past the Post voting works, and it is unfortunately the shitty system the US uses. The election happens whether you like it or not, and it is in your best interest to not end up being ruled by nazis. Perhaps a bit late for that though. Until that system is replaced along with that electoral college bullshit, the 2 senators per state regardless of population, and the cap on house reps, that’s the game.
Come on in. The bullshit’s fine.

6·21 days agoIt is illegal to drone strike anyone who is only suspected of a crime. Especially in international or Venezuelan waters. Drug smuggling is not a crime that carries the death sentence in the US either.

292·21 days agoUnjustifiably murdering everybody on the boat with one shot is just fine, but having to use two is going too far for these senators or what??? America is clearly never going to recover it’s reputation ^(citation needed)^ or influence after this administration. Perhaps it’s best for countries that were dependant on the U.S. for certain purposes to cut ties with such a deranged country and band together to soften the blow. You don’t need the liability.

9·25 days agoMad science isn’t dead.
It flew near the edge of the atmosphere and was so fast that when it was finally picked up at that range by the less advanced radars of the time it would already have been out of the range of missiles. Things had cameras on board that were apparently capable of getting a good shot of a license plate from damn near the edge of space (in the 70’s!). I have read there were plans for a bomber version but apparently that didn’t come to be. It’s a shame none are still flying. NASA had a few they obtained and used for upper atmospheric research after the airforce and CIA were done with them, but flying and maintaining them is crazy specialized and expensive. The older U2 spyplanes were made for similar altitudes and found to be a much cheaper and more practical option for that purpose so the SR-71’s were retired.

Looks like it was edited to be a bit bigger than normal.

2·2 months agoFR like I want my potential kids to grow up in a dystopian capitalist surveillance state rigged by a revolving door of delusional cartoon villian-esque dipshits with too much money on a dying planet full of disasters that are only going to get worse, along with ever evolving AI warping reality and truth bit by bit as we speak??? Like, no thanks. I’ll save them the trouble. :l Eh, maybe if you don’t live somewhere where people think Noah’s Ark is unassailable fact, you might have the luxury before it’s too late.
Very eclectic.

Yeah Emus, ostriches and cassowaries are not to be fucked with. And think about how strong and feisty even a small monitor lizard is and people just don’t know how screwed they most assuredly would be.

I do enjoy me some Dogbert antics but damn, one would think a guy who appears to understand the suffering under capitalism wouldn’t be so conservative and assholish. Baffling really.

The fact that Scott Adams seems to know how terrible capitalism is and depicts it regularly in his cartoons, but is a complete idiot conservative will never cease to fascinate me. I would say he needs to pick a lane, but I think he needs to find the road first.
