I always include the rider because the picture of the bike is on the street. A bike or motorcycle on a street is “everything I do not want to hit”.

That’s what I was wondering, it’s 12km at it’s widest, so 6 km max from the border. A balloon, a series of drones a spyplane has range, which Israel doesn’t need. The same drones that were keeping eyes on the George Floyd protests in Minneapolis could stay in the air longer and use less fuel.

Even then either is going to just show groups of people, you’d need hours of steady footage to even attempt to make deductions. I would’ve figured it’d be a stream of several drones for 24/7 coverage.

You know I was actually thinking this the other day, I know so much about Egyptian, Roman, civil war, and WWII history entirely from video games… Ceasar 3, Civilization, The Nile, are any of those games still being made? I feel like it’s just civilization. Really developer’s back then didn’t even have a reason to throw in the history stuff but they did, for context and just a love for history.

I hate the idea of hints. Because A. You then have to make the person your interested in make their own way towards you, and B. Then they have to notice it and then take a risk. I think it’s FAR better, to give your crush an opening, serve them a line on a silver platter.

For example:
My wife was interested in me and she opened with:
“Am I too close?” To which I could’ve replied “nah you’re good” or “yes, a bit” without any fuss. but, since I was also interested, I replied.
“Oh nonsense, if anything you’re not close enough” which, can easily be dismissed as me being silly, but nope, she’s interested. So she responds
'OH really? So how close can I get?"

Like, set up a romantic line. If there’s a romantic line to be had. If they’re interested, they’ll take it.

I sincerely doubt they give a shit about it.

I mean, they definitely won’t give a shit if you don’t vote. If anything it simplifies their math. If you don’t show up if you’re mad or sad you sure as hell won’t show up if you’re glad. So you can be safely ignored.

Biden already gives a shit about ~20% uncommitted in Minnesota, ~10% uncommitted in Michigan in the last primaries. nope, uncommitted didn’t win but they’re freaking out high ranking Democrats. There are more uncommitted than the percentage he won by in some of these states. They didn’t win but now a LOT more politicians are struggling to dismiss Palestine. Hell Pelosi was out and out accusing protestors of being shills for China and Russia last week.

Democrats are currently avoiding college campuses for appearances because they realize how unpopular this war in Gaza is.

showing that there is a voting population that is unhappy carries weight, and it sticks around for years to come. It’s a record just like the census.

I respect that, but you can still make that known at the polls with write-in, with third party, or just scrawling “fuck all y’all” over the ballot.

Even if it doesn’t lead to someone winning, every one of the above does get recorded. Every year mickey mouse gets a fraction of the vote, and lets be real, if Mickey ever got 5% of the vote, every candidate would be announcing their runs at Disney World with the hope they could attract just half that group.

If you do nothing at the polls, everyone will assume you don’t care and don’t care back.

If you do something at the polls, that doesn’t help either party, then the two other parties might actually be incentivized to get your vote doing things you DO care about. You at least show up, so you are someone they should care about.

If for no other reason, it’s a record of someone flipping the bird to everyone in power, a small act of defiance that can’t make it back to you because voting is anonymous. If you’re really that powerless the process should only take 5 minutes because the lines to the polls will be short.

vote vote vote. even if it’s “none of the above”

so then, do they get along with other spiders as well? maybe we can finally farm some spider silk without the genetic splicing?

Honestly then Democrats win, because Trump is running. Even if he’s not eligible he will whine and moan and a considerable segment will write him in or protest or not vote in protest.

It’s not just whether or not Biden would win.

It’s “Can Biden and Trump stay coherent standing for 3 hours in an unscripted environment”? Does it matter if Biden wins if the match was predominantly two elders bickering over whether or not we should pull out of Iraq? Both of their ages are a point of concern and the complete lack of live, unscripted, hardball interviews does little to quell that fear.

Polls have never been this bad for a returning president in decades. Historically support for third party candidates have decreased as election cycles get closer but at the same time, you’ve never had candidates this hated. Third parties are absolutely going to eat up votes from both parties this election year, and a horrid debate performance, even if a win, will make the issue worse.

Even 2 apartments are expensive, I remember AOC was having trouble finding one in DC

You know genuinely I don’t understand why this isn’t a thing. It’s expensive to have two homes, especially when you aren’t even sure you’ll have the job for more than four years. It would lower the cost of entry into politics for people who do work minimum wage.

Shoving someone into a land full of surprise expenses seems like a perfect recipe for corruption.

Marianne williamson, Dean Phillips. Both are on the primary ballot.

… You know on closer inspection I can’t help but notice that for an American you’re about 8 stories tall and look to be from the paleolithic era…

DAMNIT NESSIE GET OFF LEMMY!

Sounds like a wonderful story arc. Looking for a buyer for a kidney stone while at the exact same time, infuriatingly, fending off assassins trying to steal the kidney stone. Which you would ABSOLUTELY SELL TO THEM if they would just reach out.

Do you advertise even more publicly, risking more assassins? Or do you stay more quiet, do research, try to figure out why people want this stone so badly and yet won’t just buy the damn thing?

wait, that’s an actual script? I thought it was just slang!

I know but if they were smart they’d say they’re gonna take an hour to do it, find the footage in 10 minutes and goof off another 50.

Pull a Scotty, then you’re productive and lazy. It’s just disappointing they can’t even procrastinate properly. I feel bad.

I mean, in the era of VHS this won’t work because ultimately you’re fast forwarding and rewinding. So you’re gonna watch it anyway. but in the digital era I thought this would be what any Police officer did?

Like… they’re not even gonna spend 10 minutes on a theft?

Admittedly, there is no government housing for politicians, which means either buying renting in washington DC (not cheap) in addition to your home in your own state, or moving entirely to Washington DC for a position you may lose in 4 years.

The entire job seems to be closed out to everyone but millionaires.

right? they’re pretty impressive. Although the cat one I saw was definitely AI made with all the weird limbs of the cats.

I’d buy that. I’ve had amazing vegan and vegetarian chilis from cans, but never anything of the same quality from something with meat.
