  • between gerrymandering, fraudulent fraud claims, last-minute roll drops, mail-in ‘challenges’, a coup, failure to enforce existing voter rights laws (and i could go on for some time in this vein i believe, and provide evidence at request for each of these), dont you feel there might be some suppressed turnout rather than simply low turnout? don’t you feel there might be some legitimate claims to election tampering that might not have to do with directly interfering with the vote tally?

    also i got no problem with you particularly smcf. i wasn’t part of the downvotes here, i stepped away to listen to some music about an hour ago and i came back to that person telling you to shut up and i want you to know that from my perspective we are having a respectful exchange of opinions, no hard feelings here for making a valid observation about lazy complacent voting habits in american voters, nor for the unstated criticism lurking behind “That’s great.”








  • wow, looks like a little slice of paradise. it’s so green.

    strange, i came down with covid for the first time this year, and i spent 2020 and most of 2021 getting bounced between shelters and a halfway house. shit sucked. glad for vaccines. i think it must be complacency, everyone stopped even pretending to wear masks, and don’t get me started with handwashing, which was already an unacnowledged public health crisis before covid imho.

    I read something about loofah sponges a few days or a week ago or so… aren’t they related to bottle gourds? have you actually used them for like, scrubbing? probably a silly question but i don’t suppose birds could actually nesti in the gourds?


  • that sounds like a fantasy. i’m really intrigued.

    may i ask, have you tried competitive species instead of insecticide/traps? if so, did you find it was ineffective? i’ve always had this idea of a native garden tending to a local species of endangered ant. i was hoping that with some management maybe i could help the relatively docile native ants outcompete the fire ants, but most people are so afraid of ants to begin with… they think all ants are fire ants or crazy tawny ants. i like social insects :)

    anyway i was just wondering it sounds like you might have relevant experience and intereting anecdotes.







  • words have meanings. thats not what spontaneous means in this context. the definition of spontaneous in this context is independent of the nature of water. and i frankly don’t give a shit if you struggle with social norms. i care that the word has a meaning and you are abusing it.


  • my read: this is an attempt to show the public that the military is unified in support for j6. i don’t buy it. something about this feels like someone swallowed their own pride and honor and self respect to make this ‘honorable’ funeral happen. someone trying to keep the peace. military officers are not ignorant of what j6 represents, in my admittedly anecdotal experience. for another thing, observe party commisar the honorable mr lohmeir’s name on the order, as opposed to any general staff officer’s.

    it’s bad, very bad. but we’re not quite ready to start putting people against the wall yet. we’re still thinking about how we’re gonna get people to think about that first.

    edit: the honorable mr lohmeir is a published author. I want you to guess the nature of his book before you click this link.
