Yep, it’s the “probably” that creates the ethics conundrum. We won’t know how to improve the process without testing the process, and we cannot ethically create “test” humans like that scene in Alien Resurrection where all the failed Sigourney clones are sitting in jars, suffering and begging for death.
If you voted that way, you should have just said that you agreed with me instead of wasting both of our time arguing pointless distinctions and pretending to be somehow politically more pure while doing the exact same thing as me for the exact same reason.
No, I keep trying to tell people who didn’t vote in some sort of protest that they wasted their time at best, and likely voted against their own interests.

What? In my metaphor, Democrats are the nets made of sometimes poop, and Republicans are the turds. Was that not clear?
Yeah, sure. Gather the guillotine and meet me in the town square.
What water? What does that even mean? Also, you can stop downvoting. It’s just you and me this deep into a thread.
Look, if you’re scooping turds out of a punch bowl, and the only tool you have is a net that might be made of turds, then you can either keep scooping or you can throw away the whole bowl of punch. You don’t just give up and drink the punch because it’s all the same. One is a turd in the punchbowl. The other is a mechanism for removing the turds, but it’s also probably a turd. Doing something is still doing something, even if the punch is still shit.
The trouble with publishing best practices is it’s a blueprint for how to break in, like publishing a map to your house with all the locks and cameras labelled. If you establish that 2 factor authentication is required, with SHA256 encryption and passwords at least 16 characters, numbers, upper and lower case, and special characters, changed every six months, then the hackers know what they need. They need to spoof someone’s cell phone, they know how long it takes to decrypt sha256, and they know if your password was FuckingBullsh1tsecurity!3 two years ago, it’s probably FuckingBullsh1tsecurity!7 today.
Because people want to share documents across various computers. A secure cloud is better than people emailing classified pdfs to authorized distribution lists, or carrying around the document you’re working on in a thumb drive.
That said, I wouldn’t trust Microsoft, either.
But you did vote for the pro-genocide candidate, just like me. You and I had the same information and reached the same conclusion. Why are you right and I’m wrong?
“No one will ever replace my husband, but…”
-words uttered by no faithful widow, ever.
Those kids are not pure enough for his constituents. He will deliberately lose custody and then whine ahout how the system is biased against fathers.
Then what are you arguing with me for?
I’d argue that’s what you’re doing, supporting lost cause candidates.
My friend, you keep accusing me of being a secret centrist. This has been my username for nearly 20 years across all sorts of social media. If you want to expose me, bring receipts or shut the fuck up.
“Is that right? I had heard an alternate theory…”
You’re definitely wrong, and I know more about this than you do.
My bad, I forgot who said they voted for Jill Stein. That was a different person who threw their vote in the trash and helped Trump win.
I still agree that Harris is to blame for a bad strategy. She and Biden fucked everyone because they wanted to try to keep their thumbs on the scale. She failed to make her case, and she failed to inspire voters. And I don’t really blame any of the third party candidates. I do believe that Stein is kompromised, but she’s not the reason that Trump won. She helped him win, but Harris and Biden and the DNC are primarily responsible. Those are the facts, and they are not in dispute.
All I’m saying is that it is always a choice between the lesser of two evils. Always has been, and it won’t change without a massive shift in voter sentiment and behavior, or like a coup or something. I doubt anyone could pull off a coup in the US. Trump is as powerful and despotic as any American has ever been, and he can’t manage to take Portland from people wearing inflatable suits. So until we get some STAR voting and some political literacy, expect the chicken or beef. Pick one, even if it’s not your favorite.
Nah, the hairs don’t cooperate. If I cut away all the curly strands that stick out, I have no beard.
I have a big head, so every pair of headphones I’ve used will eventually break there. At least these can be repaired.
