  • Certainly if she has been trying to effect real change in a realistic way, rather than an egocentric impossible run at the presidency…

    Things would have been different. She was one of many straws, which if subtracted, would have prevented trump

    So for that and that alone, she and the rest of the greens can fuck right off.

    See the No Labels folks for a more common sense way to be activist on national level politics.

    Greens would be great if they would focus on good, winnable races from the bottom up…

    What that called again?? Uhh ‘grass roots’


  • I actually read your article, and I wholly disagree.

    Facts matter, truth matters and without the A students we would be even further down the road to Idiocracy, which ofc looks more like a future-documentary every day.

    Your brand of “it’s all stupid, so join the stupid train” seems designed to appeal to people who want to be stupid. Or you could call yourself ignorant, if you prefer.

    In any case, the anti-intellect position that you promote may have a basis in reality (headline hippos) but it is far from a positive contribution.

    You can do better.











  • I think Signal shot themselves squarely in the dick by removing SMS functionality.

    Previously, you could use Signal as the primary SMS/messenger app. Any conversations with other Signal clients secure. Conversations in SMS/MMS? Marked as not-secure.

    But, out of some purity concerns, SMS functionality was removed and the dev team focused on adding useless shit like “stickers” and then the pin-code harassment.

    Signal adoption plummeted as intended (?)





  • Hemlock Society recommends an oven roaster bag (like for turkeys) and a bottle of inert gas (usually helium is easiest to get) and just flow enough in to keep the inert atmosphere in the bag “fresh”

    Also, there is ‘gas stunning’ which is used in Europe for slaughter. There are some practices that use CO2 for this, but at a nearly 100% level it is pretty instantaneous, much like HS2 – which you can’t even smell at high concentration, because you’re dead already.

    Point, there is some state of the art around using gas to kill; it’s not a brand new concept.
