Fuck you.

I lost.

There's 3 variables and 1 equation. This is unsolvable.

36 seems like an accurate score for someone going to Business School.

This is the final nail in the coffin for me. My next PC is going to be a Linux machine.

I'm opposed to the idea that being charged with a crime should disqualify someone from office. Simply put, it incentivises putting people in jail for political reasons.

No, Trump should be disqualified for treason and insurrection. Of course, that's not happening either.

I can't fathom why anyone hates dandelions. The entire plant is edible and they're a cute little flower.

I thought this place was for jokes. Why is there an infographic?

40-32/2 _ 4!

40-16 _ 2×3×4

30-6 _ 2×12

24 = 24

Checks out.

Some folk are having difficulty figuring out that there aren't any good guys here. We have (in no particular order):

Hamas, who are killing and raping innocent civilians, maintaining military rule, and generally being some of the most prominent examples of why theocracy is bad.

Israel, who's doing a genocide and helped ensure Hamas was in power because Hamas is fucking evil and thus easy to hate.

The US who is supplying the former, and thus making things easier for them. Simultaneously, Biden appears to be trying to get a bunch of countries to form a peacekeeping force, but frankly I'm not giving him points for that. (Ofc, this does not mean you shouldn't vote for him. Trump is worse.)

A large ammount of civilians who are being pushed by the first two into making each other victims and being brainwashed into thinking that one or the other is good.

The closest we have to a good guy in this scenario is fucking Egypt who's participating in a scheme to maintain a peacekeeping force. And as far as I remember not doing anything shady that's relevant. Reminder that this is the country that periodically comes out with a magical AIDS-curing laser.

Step 1: hit snooze

Step 2: use the extra time to build dual power and/or electoral reform.

Note: The time to build an alternative to the DNC for 2024 was no less than 4 years ago. The time to start building the coalition for 2028 starts no later than December 2024.

Note: the time to build dual power is any day you can afford the time, acumen, and experiense.

Step 3: hit snooze again.

Voting doesn't change anything. Not voting kills us.

We vote to buy time. We use that time to perform direct action.

These 2 things are not mutually exclusive.

Less genocide is better than more genocide.

Arguing against less genocide is an activity that increases the ammount of genocide.

This is not a complicated choice and pretending otherwise makes the situation worse.

Edit: I'm reposting my full argument, because why not?

People need to understand that it's possible to vote against genocide.

Donald Trump is Genocide at home and abroad.

Joe Biden is "only" Genocide abroad, and probably less of it.

Therefore, a vote for Joe Biden is a Vote against genocide.

No, it doesn't matter that he's an active participant in the apparatus that's creating the genocide, because if he's in office there's less genocide. Which is the important part, and pretending otherwise is sophistry. If you abstain from voting, you are increasing the likelihood of more genocide and if you discourage others from voting, you are an active participant in the overall social apparatus that is probabilistically increasing the amount of genocide.

The utility calculation is dead simple: more votes for Biden in key states makes more genocide less likely, and discouraging people from voting for Biden makes more genocide more likely. Therefore, discouraging people from voting for Biden is a pro-genocide strategy and voting for Biden in battleground states is an anti-genocide strategy. You should vote for Biden unless you live in a solid blue state, and even then it's not a bad idea.

Wow, what a great argument to never host anything in China, ever.
