No Kompromat needed comrade.

Power

They’re after access to, or holding onto, power.

Ah, the ol’ “Brute Force” hack.

This is a horrible idea. There’s no guarantee that either side will vote as discussed. Leaving it open to rampant corruption as a voter engages in false discussion, then votes for one of the primary candidates.

Let those 3rd party candidates speak to the American people and present a case that nets them the votes needed.

I got as far as Tom Cotton. Everything else in that article is just going to be a waste of time to read.

The man is without ethics or morals.

Can confirm! I’ve run that exact utility multiple times. Each time it finds a few posts that were restored.

But it’s like 99.5% effective in deleting posts. So it’s better than nothing.

I feel like a ‘raccoon’ that self-identifies as a ‘ramblingpanda’ on lemmy should be given…a warm welcome!

The trash is in the kitchen, the bamboo is out back, the bourbon is in the den, and the game starts in 5.

There’s growing speculation that 13.767 billions years may be the earliest that the universe can support life, due to events like this. The universe had to expand, a lot, to get to a place where life had a chance to evolve, and not get obliterated by these types of events.

Plus our galaxy may be in a void. A really big one at that:

In 2013 Barger and two colleagues, Ryan Keenan (then at the Academia Sinica Institute of Astronomy and Astrophysics, Taiwan) and Lennox Cowie (University of Hawai‘i) counted some 35,000 galaxies from multiple surveys. What they found is that the Milky Way appears to live in a relatively empty area. Per unit volume, there’s half again as much light reaching us from galaxies 1.5 billion light-years away as there is from galaxies right around us.

It’s as if we’re living in the suburbs, and the skyglow we see in our backyard comes more from distant cities than from our neighbors.

If this sparse region that we live in is a true cosmic void, then at 1.5 billion light-years in radius, it’s well above average in size, says Hoscheit. Typical voids have radii between 90 million light-years and 450 million light-years, he says. But this void would be so big, it would encompass the Laniakea Supercluster, which the Milky Way and its Local Group of galaxies call home, as well as the Tully Local Void, which Laniakea borders. “It would be the largest void known to science,” he says.

So the fact that our black hole (Sagittarius A*) hasn’t done this, and that we’re far away from other black holes that have done this, just might be why you’re reading this reply.

Let’s toast to our existence in the backwaters of our galaxy and the KBC void! 🥂

You don’t think wars fight themselves do you? Or that munitions self-assemble do you?

The lower class exists to keep the middle class in line so that the upper class can continue to make money. And the upper class, for now, requires human capital to do the work that makes them money.

Human capital thst’s educated enough to work the machines but not educated enough to know that they’re being exploited, and hence rebel.

Yeah, but wouldn’t he have to steal the same truck at the same time for it to be considered the same crime?

Otherwise he just really seems to like that truck he keeps stealing.

Well, I for one am glad that’s settled and Israel can stop now…

While you’re there try the Apple Fritter! It’s like monkey bread* made with apple cinnamon bits, then deep fried and dipped in glaze.

*=Monkey Bread is just pull-apart bread made from large chunks of dough.

Is that Ed!? Holy shite he’s really changed his look!
