After we chain-queued for an hour or so I told them "I have never felt more tanked in my life" & they said "lol thx you did good too" and I will never forget it. 😂

I misread the trending summary & was prepared to indulge in a bit of the depravity he's championing as I read about his demise. Ah well, we'll still get there in the sweet by & by.

I hadn't considered rolling one until Cata, when I was doing leveling dungeons on a DPS alt that was OP one patch & the refrigerator protadin was tanking so aggressively that I could do absolutely anything I wanted & everything died. The poor healer was miles back.😂 Thus, I made this huge guy:

While my opponent doesn’t have the cajones to debate me, he apparently has found his “courage” to harass my elderly parents. You can’t say you’re running to protect Texas families while also harassing families. That ain’t family values.

Yeah, if anyone in big tech was still prioritizing things working optimally/properly, communication originating from those DCs would have already been blocked or would be blocked going forward.

Immediately after Ukraine took out two of the five data centers run by the Russian tech giant Yandex, pro-Trump and pro-MAGA posts on American social media sites plummeted. The same happened to posts boosting Germany's far-right AfD. Russia is engaged in MASSIVE election interference.

If you need a pickmeup, Ukraine struck and destroyed a Russian data center last night, reducing Russian bot traffic by 50%, dropping online pro-AfD discussion to zero, cratering MAGA traffic, and making Elon big mad. Just in time for the mid-terms. Slava fucking Ukraini.

Yeah, Mike Madrid described losing TX as the Death Star blowing up. As he pointed out, that happened in the 1st movie. It isn't the end, but would be unprecedented blood in the water & rock a lot of assumptions. 30 years of ruinous single-party in TX has to end sometime, tho. Hopefully this year.

With how badly everything is going, I'm wondering again if there could ever be a class-action lawsuit against one of the rightwing networks due to economic suffering following lies presented as coverage to sway voters. IDK how anything gets fixed if the rightwing lie machine continues as-is.

Yeah, it sucks as an index of cultural malaise. But if the magats getting wriggly about this are even in TX, they were already fully in the doggiedoo bag for Paxton. 🤷

Nobody who wasn't already in the doggie-doo bag for Paxton is going to even notice this. It's an attempt to juice up the somewhat-disillusioned magats. Pretty inconvenient they're down a bunch of bot soldiers in this fight, courtesy of Ukraine. 😂

“Texas is a critical part of the conservative mythos and losing the state will break the party in absurd ways” is 100% correct.

I double-checked this on a couple of Xitter stat sites and it's true. Average views of the main AfD account dropped 90% and average engagement dropped by 60%. This is commercial social media for you: bots, damn bots and Russian bots.

Musk cutting Ukraine's Starlink isn't nothing, of course, but IIRC there was a period of time they couldn't use it anyway because anyone who turned it on got hit by Russian ballistics. I'd bet anything they map every planned mission out with awareness US systems may go down or become compromised.

(Unsurprising now, but this was ~10 years ago.) And just to be totally clear, just in case anyone hasn't used Android devices... ya need a Google account for them to function. So everything I mentioned soft-bricks the device & obviously makes getting caught up on payments rather difficult.

It doesn't, TBH. I was a huge HTC phone enthusiast before they left the US market & Google picked up a lot of their IP & dev team. So I started using Pixels, & everyone warned me to never get behind on Google Store payments or they'd brick all your gmail accts, cloud data, wallet, passwords, etc.

AFAIK, one of the concerns about US AI having millions of nVidia cards warehoused is that nearly every generation has been changing DC rack specs & power/cooling layout. So even if they can get processing hardware, they may not be plug & run for repairs.

It could impede US GOP confidence in ability to propagandize in support of election interference as well, which would mean the EU & Ukraine would have allies in US government again early next year. Would be wins all around.
