I know, I was going to use ~10 years, but used a conservative number so I could source it undeniably if pressed.

If we had an unlimited timeline I'd buy that, the problem is climate change will make all but struggle inevitable in ~75 years at the rate we're destroying it.

Famine, water wars, and billions of climate migrants will destroy any hope of an egalitarian revolution...

is it overengineering or just a push back against "make each program do one thing well," and saying yeah but I have n things to do and I only need them done, well or not I just need them done and don't want to dig through 20 files to do it...

ghost?

nm I looked it up myself.

Why aren't more people on ghost? It's a stupid name for what it does, but the $9 a month and keeping the rest is a great deal if you have more than a handful of subscribers.

You wanna know something cool though? If I was alcoholic instead of depressed, I could get help for free.

Okay? It's objectively a good thing for alcoholics to get help. Getting equal care for other issues is the goal.

Don't be a crab in the bucket.

Yeah I've unsubscribed, his beef with Billy Mitchel and shift to a more cheater focus has just become too repetitive. I liked his enthusiasm for describing people achieve records, but I don't really care to deep dive cheaters really. They suck and the sooner we scratch them from the record and move on the better. They don't deserve attention.

Cute video, but I've got bad news about the quality of that chair...

Mine lasted less than a year. One of those one piece arm rest\supports got a crack and that ruined the stability.

IDK their religion allows straight up substitution magic, they turn wine and crackers into pieces of their dead god. Why can't thorns and pieces of wood turn into the implements that killed him?

Yes they're used, but they're not THE ONLY method of control as it was in this disaster of a sub.

If you think that trump is capable of that then you admit the American system is so flawed that a diaper wearing dementia ridden criminal is all it will take to bring it down. That Pax Americana is on the death bed and electing Biden is just kicking the can down the road.

Without the looming existential threat of the climate apocalypse and the inevitability of children born today fighting in the water wars, Biden might be fine, but we need action now and anything else isn't just lesser of two evils, it's complete failure in our lifetimes...

”Both options are cliffs!”

But they are though.

The cliff drivers aren't getting off the bus, even if we vote them down this time, if we don't change the system that allows them equal opportunity to drive us off a cliff they will eventually force it off the cliff.

Biden has long supported the system that allows it, prides himself on being able to find a middle ground with them, and though he talks about not going over the cliff has no long term plan for dealing with those that do, because again he believes in the system that allows them to want to drive off the cliff.

I believe I've stretched this metaphor about as far as it will go, but I'm going to try stretching it further.

There are actually two cliffs, fascism and climate change, even if we pull the bus away from one cliff we've still got the other in front of us and basically no one is even pretending to deal with that.

And to leave the broken bus scenario, I'm just going to say if you believe that a trump win will destroy American democracy, that we can't defeat his corrupt, senile version of fascism then the next republican demagogue will have no problems.
