why not be proud of that? sex is great… don’t be ashamed of it just because it’s sex

without systemic change to ensure this doesn’t happen again, the world is done with simple trust of america… it’ll take decades and change that im almost certain america is incapable of… or other guarantees

    
a  = null
if not a:
   …

  

if not a were null then an if that evaluates that would evaluate it as falsy… also if a would evaluate as falsy :/ that’s far weirder behaviour

okay, but pretty much anyone in software knows what CVE means, and anyone outside of software doesn’t need to know what CVE means… it’s almost as common in the professional context as CPU

because getting an ID with no money and no fixed address can be somewhere between extremely difficult and impossible

that’s kinda the point: ID is easy for most people, but for some people it’s an insurmountable barrier… voter ID laws restrict those people’s ability to vote: the number of legitimate people you cut out of voting is far higher than the number of fraudulent votes (which are always caught after the fact because there are robust systems in place to deal with exactly this already)

totally agree! change the system! go! do that! but while you have the system you have, face reality: you vote D or you get R. is it a shit reality? absofuckinglutely it is… but deal with it or we all - including those of us who can’t vote in US elections - lose badly

i guess homeless people don’t deserve a vote aye

cool… and your plan is? because if its anything but keep voting for dems until you change the system then i’ve got cheeto shaped news for ya bud: that’s how ya fucking got this mess

on ios at least: screenshot a web page in safari and you can switch from “screen” to “full page”

america, the collective group, is treating the world as an enemy… the only way we can deal with this is to treat the collective group also as an enemy, for the most part

if you think that’s unfair, well, congratulations imagine how canada, europe, australia (who has a trade surplus and still has tariffs because apparently we have to make up the deficit for the rest of the world) feels about the situation

we are angry, every american should be angry, and come time for the next election EVERY SINGLE ANERICAN needs to FEEL like the world is angry AT THEM so that this time they FUCKING VOTE rather than spewing apathetic “both sides” bullshit

also jam in there protections for AI training so they don’t have to deal with those pesky rent-seeking “authors”

i have no issue making sure it “can’t happen” - a non-issue regardless - to give people warm and fuzzy feelings

i do take issue with making it harder to vote for some of societies most vulnerable

the fucking plastic boxes salads and soggy burgers on ornate silver trays is just sooooooooooooo… i don’t even have the words

that absolutely is voter suppression… voter fraud is not a real problem. if it were, sure! let’s do ID… but the fact is, it just doesn’t happen: the only way to actually move the needle is large scale voter fraud, and the systems in place absolutely catch that… a single vote (as much as we say your vote counts: it does, but more figuratively) doesn’t matter 1 bit

big ol economic hug for our canadian friends

… well, maybe not big… we’re not a big place

but i’ll buy some maple syrup

we’re forced to sell for a bargain to stay alive and they pick up fire sale deals

compulsory voting removes some of the apathy: “they’re both the same” isn’t as powerful to stop people (and let’s be honest here, this tactic works best against progressives) getting out to vote if they’re already at the polling place… it virtually eliminates voter suppression

it requires a very large investment to run a node, but the fact that it’s possible means it’s open by necessity, which means we can bridge to mastodon etc

this means that it will be a lot easier for people to migrate, since they don’t have to give up their entire social network

imo it’s a good jumping off point: people clearly have problems with the mastodon “on ramp” and are having no issues with bsky, so imo it’s a step in the right direction and we can’t let perfect be the enemy of better

which is to say nothing about the fact that they’re under no obligation to actually let you in if you’re not a US citizen… comply or leave; it’s unfair, but that’s what it is to enter a foreign country

why endure when you can get friends that enjoy it? hell, find friends that will beg for it!
