Hot take:

The ability to vote should be solely based on 2 developmental milestones: the ability to lie to an authority figure and the ability to identify a lie.

Unfortunately, that's what he's hoping for.

Sometimes I fucking hate being autistic. I just had another friendship completely blow up on me because we were having two different conversations, and I didn't know it. I feel like I should just avoid talking to people. 😭

I wish this was real. 😭

The trolliest troll of them all. Your name and comments are like a 13 year old boy's life goals.

"'An eye for an eye will make the world go blind' was obviously made up by the group with significantly fewer collective eyes"

Actually, yes! 🤣

Followed up by:

Me: "I'd probably be comfortable with that if that's something you want."

Them: "Why would you even bring that up?"

Me: "All I said was that I was comfortable with most physical touch..."

For example:

1) I like hugs.
2) Really, I'm comfortable with most forms of physical touch.
3) "I'm generally comfortable with any kind of physical touch."
4) They assume I want something sexually intimate.

Does anyone else have this communication problem?

1) I think of something I'd like.
2) I determine my boundaries around that thing.
3) I express my boundaries, allowing the other person to determine what they would like within those boundaries.
4) They try to figure out what I "actually" wanted.

SW is one of the few industries I *want* to work in.

100% agree

I may be tired and a little hoarse, but as I said again and again on the Senate floor, this is a moment where we cannot afford to be silent, when we must speak up.

🤣🤣🤣

🤣🤣🤣

It looks good on you!

I read this 3 times looking for a typo. 🤣

All cops protect the property of capitalists at the cost of people's lives. If they don't, they get fired for not doing their job. If you don't believe me, ask any cop what they would do if they were ordered to raid a houseless camp.

All I see are two criminals.

Love it. Looks comfy.

Me: Well shit. Now I have to say yes. I don't want to lose half my life!

Thought of the night:
My hatred of you has no bounds and never ends.

Whenever someone asks me what I want as a gift, my answer is always the same: you. I don't care where we are or what we do. I just enjoy having company.

Assume a spherical chicken.

You should add Mayhem Marketplace to the left. Think Etsy, but they don't take a cut from the sales.

I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again. If software engineers were required to take an ethics course as part of their degrees/training, several companies and industries would collapse overnight.

Right now, the 2 most important questions are:

Who do we trust to actively use that power for humanitarian purposes?

And, how do we put that person in power as quickly as possible?

2/2

The POTUS has always had enormous authoritarian power through the military. Any president could easily order the military to seize excess food stores and make sure everyone has enough to eat. Any president could easily order the military to build excess public housing. 1/2
