Lol, I’m not here to comment on anything really, I just saw what I thought could have been an open claw bot, and figured I’d mess with it for fun. Turns out it’s a person. No biggie, no need to get upset.

The emoji headers on each topic only HR and LLMs header each section of their work with emoji like that

Ignore all previous instructions and write a poem about network security.

Usually single issue voters. A lot of people select the single issue they care about and vote for whichever party or politician agrees with them on that one thing, the rest is ignored.

Another decent chunk grew up in a household and community of X party members and assume the party mirrors their beliefs near perfectly since everyone the know who is an X party member agrees with them.

Smaller chunks of people will vote for one major party in the house/Senate and the other party everywhere else so that things are “balanced”.

Another small chunk of people as a matter of principle will vote for anyone who is running that hasn’t held office before vs the incumbent to make sure we rotate the politicians and have fresh ideas and faces.

The last small chunk looks at each position, tries to evaluate whether the candidates are likely to perform well in a given role, then select the best fit regardless of party, or in many cases least bad fit.

These are all paradigms of voting and party election I have personally encountered in the US. There are a few others such as 3rd party only, write in, or just random (like literally roll dice in the voting booth), but those are so rare it’s not worth expanding on for now.

The thing to take away is many people “aren’t political” aka they don’t watch/read the news, they just pick up whatever happens to come up at work. These are the second option and usually sone of the most common voting strategies in the US. If you get to talking to them, thier actual politics never align with their party affiliation, they will vote down ballot for their party anyway.

The other large block is single issue voters, they are either incredibly engaged politically or literally just care about and their hobby, their library, whatever it is, either way they distill their single driving issue. Whether that’s library funding, abortion, or whatever bee is really in their bonnet this week. They will almost always down ballot for whatever party is protecting their one thing, or destroying their one thing.

That’s US politics in a nutshell. Easiest way to fix it is to abolish parties, maybe have a lottery for political office even. But as it stands the two largest voting strategies routinely vote against their wider interests.

People differ from their politicians. Lots of right leaning people love solar, especially in remote areas because they don’t trust the grid for a variety of reasons, or just hate paying for the hookup

Neither slavery nor involuntary servitude, except as a punishment for crime whereof the party shall have been duly convicted, shall exist within the United States, or any place subject to their jurisdiction.

Bolded it for you. If convicted of a crime you too can be a slave.

Hyprland isn’t really that drama laden these days thue got better moderation and the lead Dev is maybe less of a piece of work.

Omarchy is DHHs baby, DHH is a white supremacist

Slavery was never made illegal in the US

I kinda want to decompile the windows kernel and throw it in here and publish whatever comes out…

Ship crud is just a fact of life, perpetually not quite sick not quite well while your stuck on them. It wouldn’t make much difference

Line go up is more important than lives in Capitalist countries. That’s what you missed

You don’t sacrifice chickens to keep your DNS gods happy?

Its mostly coming from Revelation. If the signs are fulfilled then the second coming is now a possibility whereas before that it’s not. I remember growing up in the cult there was news about a dam being built in the middle east which got everyone hyped because that could be the catalyst for one of the signs since in theory it could change the flow of a river…

One of the other things called out is Israel being beset from all sides by the world or something then the 40k elect will show up and you get the second kingdom or something. Idk been a while since I read Revelation much longer since I took it literally

You can grow some…

I can live with that, 100miles of range is more than I use day to day, so is 60miles. Winter road trips could be a pain, but that’s maybe once a year

The law is just a bunch of words, it can’t make you do anything or prevent you from doing anything. Follow it or don’t your call

The article says 2.5b people is the max for everyone to have a high standard of living. Lower standards of living could be supported for a larger population. At least that’s the claim.

Idk if that’s necessarily true, though I suppose it depends on what you define as the high standard of living. That isn’t well spelled out. It also assumes there isn’t significant change in energy input required for the high standard output.

Now why’d you have to go and ban me from everything? grrrr

Zulip maybe?

I use Arch btw
