You pierced the veil and showed them the writhing eldritch tentacles of the machine and they really said "The machine is getting better :)"

Watching these reruns while the ecological clock runs out is a bit worse than annoying.

I think they actually can't implement medicare for all, because healthcare in the US is so far gone that M4A would undermine the entire system.

How long now have people been told it's impossible? How much the relief when profit-seeking is removed from the equation? How many people will then wonder what other lies they've taken for granted?

Yeah, it's not happening without a revolution. And I don't just say that because I would prefer humanity survive its own stupidity. The way healthcare is organised in the US is so far gone that

M4A would undermine the entire system.

Huh...you told us this was impossible, but here it is, and it actually works far better for the absence of profit-seekers.
Now a terrible burden of socioeconomic pressure has been lifted. Wait...what else have you been lying to us about? What assumptions have I grown up with that were not my own?

They the Democrats, not one particular head of the hydra.

Whoever replaces them, if they even bother with the theatre.

After seeing them frame going after their supposed political enemies for the illegal bad shit they've done as childish and unnecessary so soon after they were voted in I wouldn't be shocked if they simply didn't even address this.

You can and should.

A little deliberate compartmentalisation can be healthy. If you can't make yourself forget for a day, try hours or even minutes. Set yourself some time in which if you think of these things you say to yourself "not now".

Just like we practised, teleport around at random and take up the whole frame when on camera.

The LLM / image gen AI centipede.

That people would still look at it and call it messing up or fumbling is why they've been able to run the same scam for decades.

There are people, it is true—nay, a great many people—who smile at such things, because they are not sensitive to noise; but they are just the very people who are also not sensitive to argument, or thought, or poetry, or art, in a word, to any kind of intellectual influence. The reason of it is that the tissue of their brains is of a very rough and coarse quality.

It's actually really difficult to get your friends to switch over little things like 'being a spy platform', and 'leaking tens of thousands of users private information'.

Impeachment and getting even aren't priorities: They're framing one of the key things they were elected for as childish and unnecessary.

I'm actually a little stunned they didn't let voters enjoy the thought of whatever they imagined Democrats would do for a little while.
