true, but there’s a lot you can do on the hardware side with an arduino-or esp32/pi pico if you need networking.

maybe it’s gotten better

I’m sorry, you don’t seem to be familiar with the century we’re in.

exactly!

yes but remember; trump lives in florida. so he wouldn’t actually give it up, and they’d be able to taunt him until he dies.

feels wrong if the americans don’t wager something. florida, maybe.

okay, yes, but it’s invasive and delicious and I do not currently have any outdoor space suitable to grow it in.

again; I’m not saying I didn’t vote.

that said: there is no voting. there was an election last year, and, fairly or unfairly: you fuckers stuck the landing, snatched victory from the jaws of defeat. past tense. done. MOVING THE FUCK ON

I don’t know if there’s going to be another election, or, if there is, whether it’s going to be real or fake. I think counting on that is foolish. I think obsessing over electoral shit instead of the actual mechanics of community and machinery of power is why we’re all in this mess.

so please touch fucking grass, talk to your neighbors, and do something that will literally ever matter.

not just deflection. repeating lies.

this is one of the many reasons there is no point in talking anymore. they can’t be reasoned with, they refuse to be negotiated with. they will kill us if they are not stopped.

you’ve never had the poor judgement to talk to a cop have you? they have all always been like this. if you read old 40s german nazis, they sound like this too.

just looks like a person trying to talk to a cop.

this is one of the reasons you don’t do that btw. the other is that they’ll lie about what you said and use it to convict you of stuff, and every judge believes them. but this is a pretty close second to that.

how much worse is it than major metros in the empire?

without the genocide and harris’ being simultaneously a woman of color (alienating fascists), a cop (alienating anyone with a conscience), and an arrogant symbol of the establishment that let it get so bad? yeah, fine red mist. it was a really good strategy. and they just stopped it, probably because a wealthy donor said it made them uncomfortable.

who says I didn’t vote?

and if you vote for the democrats, and they decide to NOT take office after winning again, like they did 25 years ago, then you’ve done worse than waste your vote-not that it was ever worth much.

if you vote for the democrats, and they throw that shit, you’re basically saying "I am okay with these dipshits who will always snatch defeat from the jaws of victory when it’s most important, and will never actually fix what’s been damaged, they just won’t damage it quite as deliberately’. which is not good.

IBM: the machinery of government (and the various things they’ve enabled over the years) and just a really warm fuzzy folksy time lapse montage (mid-late season)

exxonmobil: burning tomorrow, today. slogan after a couple minutes of horrible disaster (natural and otherwise) footage and a park ranger drinking to forget, with a translucent exxon logo on screen. then you flash up the slogan at the end. (mid-late season)

it’s true, the coke idea could use some work, but these are all pretty rough.

honestly, if walz had been managed competently, I think he’d have been a pretty good folksy VP candidate. especially if he’d kept up on the ‘weeeeird’ stuff.

harris was just a terrible idea, and she didn’t even push her strengths. it’s like she, and the people who put her there, were all trying to lose.

okay, I edited in an alternate structure that might fix this. tell me you wouldn’t watch that, with stressed brand managers panicking over what they’ve gotten each other into?

like holocaust denial, or child-rape

yeah but nobody advertises to any sort of lefty, so those aren’t controversial among basically every company’s target market. I might be more likely to go for “glock: protecting trans kids since [year they were founded]” if I were trying to cause a problem for them.

but you don’t start off with that. you start off each season with stuff that’s on the edge side of what a company would actual buy from an ad agency. then you get more and more. until it’s paramilitaries marching blindfolded factory workers out into the jungle, then shooting them in the head, with full gore and horror and maybe one begging for their life. then a coca cola logo. coca cola: an american tradition.

I think he lost money on that, and just dropped it after the train program tanked. don’t quote me on it though.

suggests evil.

in the 90s he was such a dick, even peter thiel, the guy who names his dystopian companies after evil artifacts from LOTR, couldn’t deal with him. also he was running in the same circles as peter fucking thiel.

both suggest evil.
