The democratic party per se isn’t the problem.

First past the post democracies always result in what we have now. The democratic party will completely disappear under proportional representation. In it’s place you will see a proliferation of the power that is being grimly clasped by the corporate kleptocracy and their minions. Instead of 1% deciding how we manage our society, everyone gets a say.

Playing with children can be pretty exhausting. My daughter loved her Lego pirate ship set and had me narrating the lives of ten swashbuckling sailors on the high seas every day. I needed to be on top form or she would catch my day to day continuity errors 😅

She’s not wrong. At least half the country is dumb as rocks and a good proportion is racist and generally bigoted. America has eroded its international standing to an unprecedented low.

I thought Dubai was trying to create tourist resorts? Can’t think of a worse advert. These people are essentially cave dwelling desert nomads from the bronze age who no one would have heard of if not for our oil addiction. Another failed former colony of the British.

This fact alone is so awesome about America. To be fair, I know very little about the UK government. I keep my voting strategy simple: whoever is proposing to get rid of first past the post closely followed by whoever is proposing more bicycle infrastructure. Failing that, whoever I think is going to lose.

There are tools that help you decide how to vote. Waiting until the day comes and searching Joe Biden is hilarious.

If the average mortality continues to fall will we see a situation where the average home owner is a corpse? Half of Americans are already dead from neck upwards.

Thank you Greta for pointing out what a toxic influence Americans are. They have created disasters everywhere they go. Fuck the British as well.

Delusional

It’s interesting because the guy looks like a genius but he’s doing something really dumb.

He fought back by blocking the fists with his face, who is the bigger chad?

Something we can thank the Russians for and hackers everywhere.

He’s an interesting character. I don’t agree with a lot of his ideas but they feel like they come from a genuinely altruistic place. The antithesis of maga.

That’s a good point, are voters dumber and more bigoted than your average American?

A significant part of this problem is age. At some point we lose the right to drive because our facilities fail. We never lose the right to vote.

The biggest problem is first past the post. The solution is proportional representation and 16-60 voting age. Only then will you see any meaningful change.

Okay.

Fully half of Americans are r̶e̶t̶a̶r̶d̶e̶d̶ bigots.

I also wear a hardhat to write software.

They know the origin of these attacks because the attackers write their programs in Chinese.

‘I can’t believe someone is trying to rip me off’

A good dose of psychedelic once in a while is a great way to get some insight and feel happy. We’ve been lied to by our governments for too long. These cretins sought to prohibit the ancient healing ceremonies that indigenous people have conducted for millennia.

I feel blessed that I like my current job. Good manager, interesting work, limited amounts of bureaucracy. Most of this is a lucky coincidence but there are some things we can do. I had to explain many times to people which tasks I’m good at and which ones they should ask other people to do. I regularly defend this position. I set aside the morning for creative work only, no meetings, no admin, just thinking and solving. In the afternoon I down tools and do something physical, outside in daylight. A regular sleep cycle is absolutely critical for the maintenance of health and mood. Fresh food and companionship. Regular meditation. Do the basics well. These are the things that have made me happy.
