there already is an antiwar / gently caress the system candidate in the debates. I have yet to hear someone even try to make the argument on how Gravel helps Bernie at all. all he would do is lower the uniqueness of Bernie for low info voters.

also it really seems like elder abuse

we're def going to have a right wing coup within our lifetimes but I have no idea if the state will disolve. I'd argue that Flint's water situation represented the state acknowledging its weakness and abrogation of the social contract, but historically, zombie states can last a long time.

I had conservative friends really into stratfor like a decade ago. I forget the details but stratfor got them all amped up about some huge coming war or something that was completely made up, and since then i haven't heard anyone talk about them until this thread. so they blew their load on some random, possibly unintentional (stratfor seemed coked out and slightly nuts imo) disinformation.

doing a coup is work though. if Barr and Miller burst into the oval office with a twelve point plan to invalidate the election, Trump would be unable to stop talking about how they are being very unfair to the my pillow guy long enough to sign it imo

I stopped worrying about Trump being a dictator on day five of his presidency, which he spent defining the FBI and CIA as his mortal enemies. all the levers of power are before him but he doesn't care at all about them unless they can help him on Twitter or some corruption

DD feels amazing to get on top of the curve but it is hard. a big part of it is learning what the enemy types do and how to mitigate them, and the other big part is figuring out synergies between different fighters and abilities. but the learning process involves getting your rear end kicked, repeatedly

I played Eve for a couple years, and the thing I liked most about it was that it was so chill/boring 99% of the time that I got a lot of stuff done while "playing"

the game was pretty fun and exciting the other 1% of the time, but you need a good imagination for that part because the game interfere you experience during a large battle is just an extremely glitchy spreadsheet that you'll be lagged out on any interactions with

as a giant nerd I do find the reactionary elements of nerddom interesting but yeah I am VERY not sold on that having any impact on the wider culture, random acts of incel terrorism aside. I think something like q would have happened on Facebook or by email forwards if the chans didn't exist, it was more of a Boomer + social media thing than anything else imo

like the very nature of these atomized insanely online nerds is not having meaningful social relationships, which precludes them impacting much beyond the poor suckers already in their lives

Was listening to the latest TrueAnon, and I feel like Brace/Liz (mostly Liz) were using the kind of broken logic of "if it's even remotely plausible things happened this way, I think they happened this way."

Regarding Brace's rationale (which pretty much entirely relied on the supposed concrete evidence of TBI), is there actually any concrete evidence of TBI? Last I heard, there's no public evidence of this (just the reporting that some people were diagnosed), and it doesn't exactly seem implausible that, among a random sample of people, you'd find a few with a TBI (apparently like 2% of the US population has TBI).

It seems like a real Occam's Razor sort of situation, where the only cases that aren't 100% obviously a complete load of poo poo (the original ones, since obviously all the cases that suddenly "coincidentally" popped up after it started being reported on were mass hysteria) also have plausible causes that don't involve any sort of weird tech.

I also think that Brace/Liz (mostly Liz) kind of overestimate the state of secret government tech.

also I gotta imagine the % of cia guys who did football or encountered an IED before is way higher than the regular population

I do not understand all the hate for Ted lasso. a sappy show about "what if sports guys were impossibly nice" is exactly as escapist and dumb as every other TV show and a lot easier to watch. no it's not actually funny but neither is anything else at the sitcom level currently. every generation gets one actually funny sitcom, and we've gotten both arrested development and 30 rock so that's it, we're definitely not getting another one
