  • No, you fucking numpty. I thought you were genuinely curious. Understanding someone’s motivations doesn’t require you to be a good little student, it just requires you to be curious. People ask questions in good faith every day. You weren’t curious. Then you were duplicitous about it and try to use gotcha tactics. You made sure to ask then edit after I replied so that it looked like I was engaging with a fucking moron instead of a good faith commenter.

    Those are the tactics of the right. Even if you don’t support Trump out loud your actions absolutely do. Go ahead and block me because any time I notice you engaging with my comments I’ll go ahead and call you a duplicitous fucknugget. That’s more engagement than you deserve, but I’ll give you that much, you duplicitous fucknugget.



  • Edit: this started out as a single word question. The diatribe came after my reply.

    It’s a reasonable question. Because I don’t think she’ll go far enough. And if she goes further than I think she will, I’ll push her to go further left than that. I’m not nearly as far left as a lot of folks on Lemmy. I probably fall into Social Democrat on a good day. But that puts me further left than most US politics and pretty much all the politics in my home state.

    I’m a pragmatist when it comes to elections. She’s good enough to where I don’t think she’ll sponsor hunting parties for LGBTQ+ folks but I don’t think she’ll be trying very fucking hard to get universal healthcare or working with states to try to get rid of FPTP.

    Unless your question is why I won’t do it after primary season. That’s because we don’t fight in front of the kids. I’m going to support the furthest left feasible candidate because, again, pragmatic. I’ll shut my fucking mouth, back the least fascist, and start trying to affect change again the second I can without shitting on that candidate during election season. Plus I like to take a break between election day and inauguration day because it’s all so mentally exhausting and I’ll be drinking more than usual for the holidays.



  • Theoretically, yeah. There are tool using species right here on this planet that pass a lot of tests about self awareness, but we’re an order of magnitude more intelligent than a bonobo (well, mostly) and shouldn’t be banging them. I purposely used a species that has recreational sex as an example here.

    If there were an intergalactic species that saw us as little more than self aware tool users, that would be up to their morals.



  • Is being not-Trump just that impressive these days?

    Today? Yes. Come inauguration day? Absolutely fucking not. If Kamala wins I’ll talk shit, write letters, donate to causes, protest, and cause trouble from the first day she’s in office until the end of primary season 4 years from now. Then I’m back on the train.

    Unless we can get rid of FPTP. Then I’m talking shit every day all fucking day long while happily voting for a candidate who agrees with me most instead of the one I disagree with the least.

    I don’t mind calls. I don’t mind texts. I hate two hour text chains that could have been a 30 second call and 10 minute conversations that could have been a single text.

    I just want the information in an efficient fashion. If I don’t get it I will eventually just stop texting back or say I have to go and hang up.





  • There are plenty of 3P and R2 series robots running around. There’s no reason to believe he thought he knew them.

    Further, there’s a comic where he sees C-3PO’s blasted body and has a flashback. So even though they didn’t share the screen, Vader did share a moment.

    My actual biggest issue is that Vader stood in front of Leia and didn’t seem to have any idea that she could use the force or that she was his daughter.
