The Banana Republicans up to a good start.

Disgusting.

Proud enough to show their faces?

Already showing us how he wants to protect women.

Canceling votes is a good start, but they shouldn’t limit it to people they know, and even if all votes are cancelled, you still need more to actually win.

I’m unconvinced that pulling back from space programs will make Earth’s ecosystem thrive.

My point was more or less the opposite: Anyone interested in space exploration should also be interested in keeping Earth well livable, because that is needed for its success.

If we can’t manage to keep Earth’s ecosystem thriving to support us, we certainly won’t be able to create a new self-sustaining ecosystem elsewhere. And without that, there’s no chance of any non-Earth settlement being able to sustain a healthy human society and culture long-term.

Without some serious (currently impossible) terraforming, Mars colonies are limited to deep caves or heavily shielded buildings, no outside to relax, nowhere else to go. Have a look at the list of crimes in Antarctica, a similar situation where people are stuck together, that’s not a good environment for mental health, and it will be worse farther away. A Mars colony (edit: or space station) owned by a private company will be a corporate prison, the inhabitants are 100% dependent on that company - who would voluntarily put their lives into the hands of the whims of some narcissistic hoarder with no empathy or regard for workers?

I’m advocating for the outcome where the candidate that doesn’t want to jail their opponents and use the military against protestors wins, so that you can continue to make your disagreement with parts of their policy known.

I’m glad to see that you’re doing more than just voting, which I was advocating for in the first post you answered.

You agreed that either Trump or Harris will win. Your vote can only threaten one of them, by voting for the other or an alternative candidate. Same with not voting, the winner won’t care about your missing vote.

That means no action you take in the election will harm both candidates, ergo there is no way to vote against both of them.

The current system (or voter inertia) doesn’t allow you to vote against both. One of them will win, your only decision is which one you want (or despise less). If your vote doesn’t threaten their win, then when you vote for neither you’re voting for the winner.

Modern cheats for multiplayer games don’t modify local files (or attribute values in memory), since the server validates everything anyway. They’re about giving you information that’s available but not shown in the game (like see-through walls, or exact skill ranges), or manipulate input (dodge enemy damage, easy combos). Those cheat can run in kernel mode (or at least evade detection from user mode), so the anti-cheat needs kernel mode to be more effective.

“If I can’t have zero genocide then I don’t care to vote against the candidate that is very likely to be even worse.”

Especially with only two candidates with a chance of winning, a vote doesn’t mean unconditional support for everything that candidate wants. Sucks, but if you want to make your wishes known more specifically, you have to do more than just vote (if even that) and complain on the internet.

Audiobooks have a simple workaround if you can find a version of the book in text format to download, just index that.

Calibre can create a full text index to search through everything (well, for files that actually contain the text, and it needs a lot of space).

“Free speech” just means “I want to spout garbage without pushback (like fact checking) or consequences.”

https://github.com/laylavish/uBlockOrigin-HUGE-AI-Blocklist is supposed to remove AI slop from the results of various search engines. Wants the uBlacklist browser addon though.

How does that help disempower the fossil fuel mafia?

Since they don’t seem to care about it, start using “tweet” for every social media post to devalue them further.

Why aren’t those clowns laughed out of the room as soon as they open their mouths?
