Doesn’t bother me either. I honestly didn’t know spicy food making people shit was a thing. I always thought it was shitty food that caused spicy diarrhea.

How many pounds to get pounded?

Same here… but I guess I could also be considered atheist in some ways. It really depends on what your definition of a god is. Maybe we are in a simulation created by something else, but if we were manufactured it seems more likely the creator was as imperfect as we are.

It’s actually much easier, especially with mail-in ballots. Paper ballots can discarded, modified, etc. Many of them sit in election boxes that aren’t under reliable surveillance. The election workers, usually only two, come and put them into giant trash bags. They are not monitored at that point either, allowing them to modify the ballots. I haven’t seen any reliable checks of the envelopes at that point either, where if they’re opened & resealed, it wouldn’t even raise flags. You also have no way to confirm the tally of your vote to ensure it wasn’t manipulated. If you want to have multiple checks with multiple isolated computer systems, you absolutely can.

I for one, actually believe a blockchain ledger system of voting like that of Monero would provide a great option. Most of all, they could anonymously verify their vote which to me is the most important. Having some verification that my vote was actually calculated as casted is extremely important to me. Furthermore, you’d have top academics, mathematicians, cryptographers providing the exact details on its design with an open source solution that anyone could search & scan for vulnerabilities, meaning it would receive a significant amount of review & testing.

You also would have a huge amount of people like myself that actually understand the tech, and plenty of individuals willing to explain its design & safety in a format comfortable for you. It is a shame people are so opposed to new ideas & real progress, especially after Democrats just lost to Trump. I guess just keep what you’re doing & we’ll finally get a viable third party.

No cause if you were actually going to be honest you’d tell them you don’t want the job, but you need the money.

Yes cause so much harder to modify a paper ballot, especially the mailed ones. No way one of the USPS employees, or a corrupt election worker, clerk, etc. would ever do anything wrong. If anything, our recent elections have shown us really people are infallible & honest, and it is computers that are inherently flawed.

I mean yeah the right wing did claim a lot was in there that wasn’t, so that is partly true but even fact checkers don’t deny the part that I mentioned to act like she didn’t and to write it is disingenuous. That is like if Ivanka said she loves & supports her Father, but the left wing media took Trump’s comments about her out of context.

The same disingenuous Democrats also loved to claim that Biden was against the genocide in Gaza, and that he was young & dynamic behind the scenes.

Right, like Biden’s mental decline & support of genocide was “private” cause his supporters never saw it.

I mean with all the sniffing of little girls, breast pinching, and his own daughter admitting at least the weird part in her diary about showers with her dad contributing to her hypersexualization at a young age… and seeing how Biden appeared to be taking orders from Netanyahu, this part is debatable.

Really sickening to see people saying people deserved to be shadowbanned. Shadowbanning for people that may not know is a concept of rather than suspending an account, which is what normal people do, that you instead let them keep posting & secretly prevent any of their content from being seen. Therefore, the person may end up wasting substantial time continuing to post on a platform so you can laugh at them knowing that you’re manipulating the platform to prevent their content from being seen outside of their account.

I wasn’t expecting to find a whole conspiracy while trying to fix my Deck, perhaps the memo is a hoax or something, but this all just lines up so naturally.

My experience is that it is intentional, just like countless other examples of monopolistic anti-competition behavior. Especially with gaming, where a duopoly of video card manufacturers has spent the last several years intentionally crippling virtual GPU support on consumer-grade hardware. There are many others to blame though since Windows is designed to collect as much telemetry as possible, making it near impossible to fully disable its collection. There are entire forensic analysis toolkits dedicated to the troves of data that Windows stores on nearly every activity you perform. So while Microsoft’s actions may clearly violate antitrust legislation, the intelligence agencies saw Microsoft as their biggest ally & worked to help them maintain the status quo.

At least with strippers you can keep your dignity

Never forget says country engaged in rewriting its own history.

Killed is what happens when someone gets into a car crash & dies, but without the intention of someone dying. Israel is murdering Palestinians.

No you’re not wrong for wanting to keep your dad in your life. Any reputable family counselor would say your mom shouldn’t be asking you to pick a side. Your mom does need support though, but it isn’t your job. What your dad did sounds really hurtful to her, as it would be for most people. Maybe he is your best friend, but being a parent is more than being a friend. It means being a role model & wanting to teach things like honesty & respect, especially for the people you’re supposed to love.

Has your dad offered to pay for counseling for you to process these things & talk to a professional about? It sounds like you could probably use it. I don’t know how old you are, but given that you’re asking the question here & the way you’re asking leads me to believe you’d be much better off talking to a professional about it.

I don’t want to rain on your parade, but to claim you’re a Discord alternative is like saying a box is a an alternative to a luxury resort. You’ve got a lot of work to do before being a Discord alternative.
