  • There’s an entire serious sub called (r/trump666). They are more level headed than you’d expect and downvote and mod people too far out there. They have a lot of deep serious discussions on which of the four horsemen Trump and Musk are. They seem to mostly disagree on which person is which dragon/beast/horsemen. Although, I think there’s an agreement that RFK Jr. is Pestilence haha

    It’s all over my head but this concept is strong enough now that people devote significant time to reading the lay-lines.

    Coincidentally my old handle on Gawker was a photo of Trump and my name was “DiabloHimself.” But that was back when he wasn’t running for office and just tweetsulting Roseanne.





  • I have been wondering the same thing. It would be useful to have an active docket of the DOJ for all cases against large corporations and how many now lose steam or have the lead attorneys replaced.

    I also worry about the whistleblower program. If you are a corporate whistleblower, if the government wins on your tip you get around 15%-ish of the takings. So, whistleblowing on something big enough can net you a few million USD or more. Something else to watch. I assume this will break quickly too under this administration.



  • Oh I was born with a min-max build. While I am keenly aware of my deficits, I am also aware of my specific sharp intelligence. Mostly because I have to use and hone my specific intelligence to mitigate my disabilities to get over life hurdles.

    It makes me feel good because, this means I have more of a chance in life than I believe I do. I should feel more grateful and more motivated. Which is maybe the only positive thing about such a terrible fact. That one in five people are illiterate.

    I don’t like feeling I am above anyone however. I tend to greatly dislike like feelings of superiority, raw competition, or feelings driven by pure ego.

    Ultimately, I was aiming for making an implied joke: haha wow i can absolutely read loool neat! Oh no, so many people can’t read….this is horrible…this is really really bad.

    Interesting. Links to a go fund me are theorized to be interlopers or maybe people just using this to try to get money—as it deviates from the original iteration.

    Do you happen to know the username? The naming scheme also changed in the past few days when the new asking for money showed up.

    If not that’s ok. 👌


  • Might be because of your instance. I still haven’t gotten one.

    There’s been no evidence of this leading to a scam — romance or otherwise. So, now it’s a theory that this poor woman is most likely not aware and possibly being blackmailed.

    I was just memeing but the “rare” part more seriously would be a new photo drop that we haven’t had before. The newest photo is her looking down. All of the photos increasingly look like a hacked feed of a real person who is unaware they’re having their photo taken.

    The drive behind collecting information is more from a benevolent stance of trying to warn this real person irl that her likeness is being exploited.


  • Bingo. I call them dragons too. I also think that this is why, unlike in 2020, we aren’t seeing the same level of unrest. The mask being revealed is more of the same for Americans. It only confirms what we already thought we were living under.

    So, more of the same, that doesn’t spur our communities to moving. If anything it makes us more cautious. I know in my community I’ve floated social alliances but everyone I’ve talked to is very hesitant and cowed. No one wants to be on a list and no one wants to end their current life over becoming a saboteur just yet.

    You’re completely right about American history too. In our foundational case law, Chief Justice Marshal stated it was right to take the Native lands by force because “we” have the “right of conquest.” Looking back at the original treaties and contractual documents and when seeing every one was broken in some way by America— if that isn’t enough to convince a person of the character of the country then I don’t know what is.

    The best ideals that we want for this country still exist. They exist inside you and me and in our hope and humanity. The Wheel of Fate always turns. We can and we will turn the wheel eventually in the direction of humanism and progress. We will do this together, and become dragon slayers, if we must.





  • My family has a high percentage of genetic Neanderthal ancestry. I think about my Neanderthal ancestors in passing.

    I do hold a bit of grief that I will never know them, or our Neanderthal culture, or what happened. I will never know or understand their funeral rights. And I will never be able to honor them in a way they would appreciate.

    Neanderthals only became extinct from earth a mere 40,000 years ago. But there’s new science that just dropped this week that our hybrid offspring existed and lived alongside Homosapien for much longer:

    The dating of the Lapedo Child thus expands the debate on the extent and duration of human-Neanderthal interactions. Genetic evidence suggests interbreeding began at least 49,000 years ago and continued for roughly 7,000 years. However, if the Lapedo Child, a hybrid individual, lived around 28,000 years ago, then questions arise as to whether genetic exchanges lasted longer than previously thought or whether hybrid traits appeared in later generations.

    Some of us from the East have Denisovian genetics. They became extinct only 25,000 years ago, I believe.

    Compared to all of humanoid existence— being alone as the sole humanoid species is the anomaly.

    All of time and history up until modern history Homo Sapiens shared our earth. But as far as I understand, we have no modern cultural memory or history of our interactions. Only through our modern science and forensics do we attempt to piece together our real humanoid history.

    Now we look to the stars and ask why are we all alone on this planet?

    And I can’t help but conclude the same as you: We are alone because at some point…we decided to be the only humanoids.



  • I think you’re on to something. Presidential Republics are inherently unstable. I don’t think it’s a coincidence that South Korea is facing similar issues to America and both have Presidential systems.

    After this settles if we aren’t all fighting in anarcho-capitalist communes, America might consider similar structural reform and consider a Prime Minister style of bicameralism (but they can call it President instead).

    You make a good point and it’s a hopeful one


  • They’re real and out there unfortunately.

    I have a good friend who believed his life didn’t change at all if he voted or who was in office. His house was given to him. His job is stable. He has very little needs and never left his small town.

    He didn’t start connecting how politics impacted him until I lived with him during the pandemic. It was then he started to understand more and vote.

    He’s smart otherwise and a great person who is kind to others. But he isn’t the type to look deeply into anything that isn’t immediately around him.

    I feel like a lot of people need that 1:1 coaching or they legitimately cannot connect the dots in the big picture. Or maybe they need physical community and to be surrounded by people like me who can see big picture stuff easily.

    It’s like people who can’t imagine objects in their head (aphantasia) but for the inability to connect abstract big picture concepts. Whatever that is called —that’s what these non-voters fuck it who cares people have.


  • I think many people reported their ballots not being properly counted (and there’s like the whole burning the ballot boxes thing).

    But is there any organization that officially tracks ballots being properly counted? I guess it’s state reported and state dependent. There’s no official or third party independent organization that tracks ballot discards right?
