When you feel powerless and don’t know how to fix a situation it’s only natural to want to do something, that makes perfect sense. But it’s worth remembering, that there is no situation so bad that you can’t still make it worse. Sometimes when all your options are bad, waiting to act is in fact the correct course of action.

More Americans died in the civil war than in any other American conflict. This is despite the increasing lethality of weaponry over the years, despite the scope and length of wars like WW2. Following the war much of the country was left in ruin, the economic cost was staggering, it took decades to recover.

My point is, starting a war is a bad idea. Sure, at least it’s doing something, but it’s doing the wrong thing, it’s the opposite of helping.

But why are you still questioning evidence when we’ve already established facts?

You are already brainwashed I see.

Guess I’ll defend myself, but not with a gun.

Says 80% of the global population…

Yeah, that’s such a weird stance. It’s just what the vast majority of people do.

Honestly, I prefer this.

I can stand behind my words.

Oh my fucking god… Every comment in this stupid thread is saying the same stupid thing. “Time to get your guns…”, "Exercise your 2nd amendment… " Yeah, that’s hilarious tough guy. Do you have a gun? No? well do you have a gun license? No? Well do you know the first thing about firearms? You do! Oh you’ve played several call of duty games… Awesome. Do you know that you’re statistically more likely to shoot a family member than a home intruder? Well I hope you don’t like them much.

Ok, moving past the idiotic bravado… It sounds like you have no solution for people who aren’t just itching to murder other people. Say for instance, that I have no interest in shooting someone, and in fact feel that a civil society should not involve shooting anyone, especially fellow countrymen. With that in mind, for the sane perhaps 70% of Americans, do you have any useful advice besides “get a gun”?

Finally, if your plan does work and every American arms themselves, then congratulations, we’ve fallen into civil war 2. Now what? Even if you do have guns, the government has bigger ones and they have munitions you don’t. You will always, always be outgunned by the military. Now being armed makes you a hostile combatant/terrorist agent in the eyes of the law, anything you do with it will be deemed illegal. Some good that 2nd amendment is doing you. What’s your plan now?

the majority of voters chose her.

So what? The majority of people aren’t racists, that doesn’t mean that we don’t have racism. Sexism can exist and have measurable effects even if a female candidate gets more votes. The fact is, she didn’t get enough votes. That is in part because some voters wrote her off, believing a male candidate would be better because they were male. We know this is true because people have actually said that sex was a factor after casting their vote.

Well it’s rather than being about effort, it’s more like, in the end, which of these people best understands how to make a table?

I’ve got some anecdotal evidence to suggest that people who go to the gym a lot also tend to be stronger. You know, there could be some connection between exercise and muscle growth… Someone should probably investigate that link, could be something there.

Why is a sexist electorate even hard to believe? Why is there even reason to doubt it? Hell, given the clear impact racism has had on our country these past few years, it seems awfully silly to write off sexism as a possibility. I mean, look around.

Ouch… So then you must be of the opinion that Trump won the election on his merits?

Perhaps it was his fiscal responsibility that won him the day?

I don’t know, it’s possible that the number of people already interested in sideloading and savvy enough to do it, but not savvy enough to get over this new hurdle, may be a very small number.

I mean there are already some roadblocks to sideloading and scary system messages about safety and security risks.

Meeting with the House Committee on Space…

This sounds like a workable plan, but the first stage of the shed needs to be built in Houston. Also the shed door is an issue, doors are traditionally handled here at Goddard.

But… this proposal completely ignores my constituents from California, they will need to be included somehow! If you want this proposal to go through at all, find something for JPL and AMES to do.

There’s still Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez. I’d vote for her in a heartbeat.

I guess the only problem is that the voters of the US have proved themselves to still be a bit too sexist, with Clinton followed by Harris.

Personally, I put that at the feet of conservative women. When Obama ran, the African American vote showed up, he got a lot of support from voters that often leaned conservative. When women run, all too often it’s the female vote that doesn’t show up.

This is essentially the same in the US, soldiers are required to disobey an unlawful order.

That’s said, you had better be absolutely certain about that decision to disobey an order, because there most likely will be a hearing/court martial over any such incident. If the brass don’t see the situation the same way, you’re gonna be in a lot of trouble.

And it won’t work nearly as well as most people would think.

Well that’s wrong, because I would think this wouldn’t work at all.

Yeah sure, the os gets regular updates, banking apps get updates.

But when it comes to digital devices, convenience and security are in a constant tug of war, ultimately we have to make a choice. And when I make that choice I remember that this isn’t a company phone, there’s no customer data at risk, no important info to be breached. And still the number of times I’ve been hacked: 0

Nova launcher works great for me, I haven’t let it update in years. Looks like that isn’t going to change.

I’ve been burned so many times that I’ve finally learned my lesson. When I find that I like an app, that it does everything I want, the first thing I do is turn auto updates off. It can stay frozen in time forever, just working normally.

So when that happens… Is there gonna be like a memory auction? Will I have to buy a whole ai training rig just to get the RAM?

I’ll just take your best guess.
