No thanks Elon

Yes they do. They want guns for their “civil militia”, but not for Black people.

A fascist once said that all power comes from the barrel of a gun. That’s why they want to ban guns make sure only the police have guns.

Wait, jurors identities were public before that?

The cabinet doesn’t appoint the president, so no. More like Congress members members get voted in by ranked choice, and they vote on someone to represent the country in international affairs.

States with more diversity of opinion have more say. Seems reasonable to me.

Ranked choice still doesn’t solve the winner-takes-all situation that is the presidential election. Instead it should be appointed by a group of competent people, who in turn are voted in by something like ranked choice or whatever.

Pure popular vote = only large population centers matter because most of the people live there, meaning politicians can safely ignore rural areas that provide all of the food to the cities because they don’t matter votes-wise. Terrible idea for a large country that doesn’t (net) import its food. This also ignores the fact that stupid, easily manipulated people are also allowed to vote.

Electoral college = rural areas have a disproportionately large voice as they should, but large cities are now neglected. Rural votes are also easily influenced by bad actors, like how China is trying to buy African votes to have a bigger say in the UN.

I could also make a reasonable case that election strategies would have changed to more populist stances to accommodate for that.

If they were that logical it wouldn’t have taken Europe 1500 years to rediscover plumbing dummy

I didn’t care about deplatforming until Elon banned me on Twitter for dunking on him

Huehuehue

But Twitter has been dead ever since threads took over…

Affirmative action was banned because it was found to disadvantage Asian people, especially the Hmong, Laotian and other SEA people who are not stereotyped as “good at math”. On average an Asian applicant needs a SAT score 250 points higher than a Black applicant to have the same chance to be admitted under affirmative action.

Edit: did some further reading on the subject since then, apparently it’s so bad that experts (college admissions counselors) actively encourage Asian applicants to hide their race to get better chances of admission. Also it is not unknown for darker-skinned Asians to simply declare their race as Black.

He still got hacked nonetheless 🤷

I would like to see schoolgirls (or boys) with beehives please

What’s the pirate equivalent of a 5 finger discount?

So years of Microsoft’s advertising dalle did nothing to educate the public about how ai works but they’re suddenly all experts the week after stable diffusion comes out?

Nobody complained about copyright when Microsoft had the only image ai in the game, only when the open source stable diffusion came out did they start screeching about how ai was “stealing their jobs”.

Don’t worry, ““artists”” only complain about ai when open source ai gets released.
