Por que no los dos?

You got something to lose by voting anyway?

Are you incapable of enacting change both within and outside the bounds of the system?

Or is it just a zero sum game?

But… but, they’re both literally the same!

I’m certain that if the Dems won we’d still be looking at a looted government, a gutted FDA, a gestapo rounding up all “undesirables”, insanely high food and gas prices, and a possible rigged election involving a president running for a 3rd term.

And we all know voting does nothing so the best choice is to just not participate in any meaningful way so I can sit on my high horse and say I didn’t enable a a government that could have kept things together, but supported one or two things I didn’t like so if we instead eat the whole shit cake of everything we hate we just deserve it cause I made that choice for all of us.

Love it

So, do we contact the Red Cross for this blood, or what?

(Psst, he’s a bot, not a real person, so the credit that’s probably in the original thread…

Ok so, I started typing the above, then said fuck it, I’ll pull the original thread from Reddit that OP reposted to the same titled com here (he uses a vibe coded extension to do this. Also if you criticize him for being a bot he calls you a Reddit shill lul)

Anyway, pulled the original post on Reddit and turns out that was ALSO posted by a bot. Fuck me it’s bots all the way down. Just generating content for contents sake.

Oh wow! Thanks! I didn’t even know about this new series by these guys. I’ll check it out!

But yeah I forgot about the Earthers who disappeared behind a gate and told everyone fuck off, then emerge as a fascist nation.

Been reading The Final Architecture series by Adrian Tchaikovsky which with its similarities (and differences) to The Expanse it got me itching to revisit the series. I’d have no doubt that Tchaikovsky was inspired by S A Corey when writing it.

Maybe if they could like… let me peak at the time continuum so I knew how to enact the most effective change to move society towards Star Trek futurism I’d accept that as my role and return.

Fair enough. Tho there’s something about the smell that just permeates a car after you open Monster if you don’t immediately toss it when empty. Not that I’m even a fan of the flavor anymore. Liked it when I was in high school, but can’t stand it as an adult.

It’s also waaaay more expensive than La Croix, which is why I don’t always buy it

Nashville actually

You’d end up with a vaccine that cures shit you didn’t even know you had before they send you back.

You’d find out you’re now immune to stuff like COVID 2035 because it’s just part of the universal cocktail they give to new Starfleet recruits when visiting new worlds.

It’s cause Malört is fucking gross so people started drinking it ironically and came full circle.

There’s a bar in Tennessee that specializes in Malört based mixed drinks. I tried some just to say I did and they were just OK.

The smell too. Idk what it is about the smell of Monster when it gets warm, but it’s god awful.

Unironically I like La Croix, specifically lime.

However if I’m feeling splurge-y I’ll get Topo Chico Lime or Grapefruit.

According to this article and some commenters on this thread: urine.

You’d end up in front of a doctor and they’d be like “what hell? How did you contract all these illnesses??? We eliminated these decades ago!“

Oof.

I think the timeline must have changed because we missed the Irish Reunification of 2024

I think I might need glasses

I hate that I know exactly what you’re talking about
