Alright Rorschach...

The universe was created last Wednesday morning at precisely 7:26 AM Greenwich mean time. It was created with everyone's memories and the whole physical structure of the universe arranged so that things appear much older than they are.

I know the best way to prevent spam. Well, specifically I know someone who does. He happens to be the leading expert in spam mitigation. In fact, he's so good, he was arrested for it, and his history purged from the net. I would give you a name, but that would only make his treatment in prison even worse.

Thankfully, I have a few connections that I can use to free him. He's currently being held in a remote Russian prison, but the guards are corrupt. For a mere $10k USD or so, I can free him. Please direct donations to Bitcoin address xjejksoej28sj77.

I just send my stuff to Jim sometime in February or March, and he takes care of it.

The woods.

Well we just need to find some sort of latter-day Napoleon, and we're off to the races!

The flaw with this scenario is that it assumes Trump would try to simply cancel the elections. Instead, he would be more likely to regulate them in a way that makes unseating him impossible. For example, federal regulations might be implemented that required states to use voting machines, voting machines that are produced by corrupted companies. He just straight up steals the election through rigged voting machines. Or they mess with registrations and voter purges to a level more than the amount that already got Trump elected this time. See the SAVE Act..

Or alternatively, the election systems themselves will be unaffected. However, the candidates will be carefully managed. Any Democratic candidate that would present a significant threat to MAGA will be arrested on trumped-up charges. The courts will miraculously cease to give the Democratic candidate the same leeway they did to Trump when they "didn't want to interfere with the election." Or he'll manipulate the Democratic elites so much that they end up electing someone even more conservative. They end up running Ted Cruz or something insane like that.

Remember, even the citizens of the Soviet Union got to have elections.

If an insured denies a rightful claim, they should have to pay for it three fold. They should have to pay for the actual treatment. Then an equal amount should be paid to any lawyer or patient advocate. And the company should have to cut a check for an equal amount for the patient.

The problem is right now there's no downside to wrongfully denying a claim. Worst that happens is that insurance later ends up paying what they would pay anyway. There needs to be a strong financial disincentive to wrongfully denying claims.

Obviously this means that with the US fallen to fascism, only France can carry on the light. France will liberate us all!!!

You know what? At that point, I think I might just be done with computers.

Trump's next executive order: all computers in the US must be sold with two floppy drives pre-installed.

Nope, didn't work.

It would be a grand historical irony if the country that ultimately ensures Ukraine's freedom from Russia ends up being Germany.

"We are here to liberate you from the Russians....and this time, we really mean it!"

And this is the problem with "America first." Those who are the most selfish inevitably find themselves alone and miserable.

Exactly. Politics is people debating and discussing their competing visions for how the world should be. Beyond close family connections, social media is for connecting large numbers of people. Most of the questions that are relevant to large numbers of people are political in nature.

If you wanted to use an old printer, why buy an HP one? Even buying a used one indirectly supports HP. If there's a secondhand market for HP printers, then they'll have more value when sold as new. New cars wouldn't sell so well if their value, rather than only taking a big hit, literally went to zero as soon as you drove them off the lot.

Simply having an HP printer, even a used one, also serves as an advertisement for them. Every time someone visits you and sees your printer, they'll be reminded of the brand's existence. Having and using one, even an old one, is a constant minor free advertising for HP.

If you already have an old HP printer that's working well for you, I wouldn't recommend trashing it and buying a new one just for the reasons above. There's environmental concerns to consider. But if you're looking to buy a used printer, why buy an HP? There's plenty of other good brands out there that don't engage is such evil.

If this were a movie, it would end with the evil cabal of Silicon Valley billionaires being defeated when a loose nuke is detonated right in the heart of Silicon Valley.

There are also antisemitic supporters of Israel. The Christian Nationalists want somewhere to banish the US's Jewish population to.

Every nation needs a maximum wealth cap. Set it at 1000x the median household income. Anything beyond that is taxed 100%.

More directly, the guy who took a shot at Trump should get a posthumous pardon. If all it takes for something to be legal is for you to think you're saving the country, then trying to kill the president isn't a crime.
