The only thing a POC is allowed to do in the GOP is to humiliate themselves, and then be discarded when no longer useful.

Provided a progressive candidate is on the ballot opposite KH, which would only ever be in a primary election. Personally, I always vote for the most radically progressive candidate on the ballot.

The Great Dictator @ottosimm.bsky.social · 11/08/2026

Which Republican would you support instead of KH?

Thanks for confirming there’s no reason to take you seriously. You can fuck off now.

Are you pretending to know my thoughts and motives?

The Great Dictator @ottosimm.bsky.social · 11/08/2026

That we didn’t want Trump to be president. What were you not thinking?

Are we all supposed to forget or ignore the fact Hitler injected Bull semen to improve his “vitality”? Wannabe Nazis are pathetic, but dangerous when given authority over the world’s most lethal military.

You’re playing into their hands by allowing them to frame this as fascism vs communism. Framing matters.

If in the case of brain death a person is declared to have died at the time of declaration, did the declaration kill them?

The implicit message the WSJ is sending is clear, Israel is a Jewish state, therefore any criticism of Israel is antisemitic. That old chestnut.

I have a 100mm f/2.8 E lens that is excellent, but retired now in favor of my Nikkor AF DC 105mm f/2

None of my interactions with any of them suggests they’re bright.

The Great Dictator @ottosimm.bsky.social · 13/07/2026

I think some of them were banking on Harris winning without their votes, setting them up to claim moral superiority for holding out while evading any responsibility for Trump being elected and brushing away any claims that Trump would have been worse.

This explains why he fought so hard to have people convicted of election fraud freed from prison.

Are you saying people who post the same thing every day have mental disorders? Awkward ….

Looks like you’re troll replying to a bot, which is pretty funny.

The Great Dictator @ottosimm.bsky.social · 13/07/2026

It’s obvious you only care about using dead and dying children to virtue signal on sm because understanding something as basic as zero sum, 2-party elections is beyond your meager intellectual resources. This has been as boring and stupid as I predicted it would be and you can fuck off now.

100

The Great Dictator @ottosimm.bsky.social · 13/07/2026

Some people are so self absorbed and desperate for approval they’re willing to appropriate the suffering of children to deflect from their failure to grasp basic principles, like zero sum, 2-party elections. Where do you find the courage?

100

The Great Dictator @ottosimm.bsky.social · 13/07/2026

Yes, it is pathetic when people jump into threads on subjects they know nothing about and embarrass themselves by advertising the fact. Bro.

The Great Dictator @ottosimm.bsky.social · 13/07/2026

I don’t waste time with people who don’t understand the context of the argument they think they want to have. You’ve got to ante up.

The Great Dictator @ottosimm.bsky.social · 13/07/2026

I don’t believe you. What is a zero sum, 2-party election?

100

The Great Dictator @ottosimm.bsky.social · 12/07/2026

I don’t expect foreigners to understand our political system, unless they decide to comment on it. I’ll help you out- Google “zero sum” and “2-party election” and we’ll chat when you’re finished.

The Great Dictator @ottosimm.bsky.social · 12/07/2026

Which? The one Trump is expanding into Lebanon, the one he’s failing to defend in Ukraine, or the one he’s threatening in Iran?

The Great Dictator @ottosimm.bsky.social · 12/07/2026

But a vote is not a personal endorsement, it’s a civic duty to judge which candidate best represents the interests of the nation and use one’s vote accordingly. Understanding this prevents one from failing to vote against a criminal rapist.

I hope she gets a fair trial and if convicted, a fair sentence.

The Great Dictator @ottosimm.bsky.social · 12/07/2026

Globally, yes. When commenting on this thread one is usually credited with understanding the context.

The Great Dictator @ottosimm.bsky.social · 12/07/2026

You mean everyone who failed to vote against Trump? Yeah, they suck.

The Great Dictator @ottosimm.bsky.social · 12/07/2026

Not everyone had the opportunity, and those who didn’t had no responsibility to do so.

If it turns out LG was eliminated by FSB and Trump is forced to comment on it I’m going to be seriously disappointed LG won’t be around to hear it.

In Washington, D.C., the declaration of death is governed by the Uniform Determination of Death Act. According to D.C. Code § 7-601, an individual is legally dead if they (heart failure) ….. or the irreversible cessation of all functions of the entire brain, including the brainstem.

I’m assuming you’re sincere and believe honey attracts more flies than vinegar, or whatever, but the fact is, social shaming evolved and exists in every culture because it works to limit antisocial behavior. As for democracy, there’s no evidence to suggest voters are persuaded.

010

The Great Dictator @ottosimm.bsky.social · 10/07/2026

I guess the question is: are voters capable of being persuaded? It’s an open question. What do you recommend as more productive?

100

The Great Dictator @ottosimm.bsky.social · 10/07/2026

Acknowledging that failing to vote against Trump was voting wrong is a great first step. If you think most people understand how elections work, stick around and see for yourself. I have these arguments daily, and they are depressingly consistent.

That DHS / ICE routinely and as a matter of policy lie about their interactions with their victims is well established and ignoring that fact is willful complicity.

The Great Dictator @ottosimm.bsky.social · 10/07/2026

I’m excited for you! Does your lab scan your negatives, or do you? I find I first evaluate on a strictly technical basis- exposure, contrast, focus, etc., and then on a more holistic level- composition, expressions, lighting, and finally as a viewer, on an emotional level. It takes time.

The Great Dictator @ottosimm.bsky.social · 10/07/2026

I saw a former white supremacist talking about what happens to pedophiles in prison and he said the various groups (white, black, Hispanic, etc) are expected to “take care of” their own, meaning punish them as they see fit, and I think this holds in international politics. Trump is our problem.

There’s nothing quite like running that first roll through a new camera- especially one that holds so much promise. Is it really as good as its reputation suggests? If my results aren’t amazing, what will it say about me as a photographer? Will this become my instrument? Which film first? Enjoy!

The Great Dictator @ottosimm.bsky.social · 09/07/2026

Oh, that’s a beauty! I hope everything is in proper working order. If it’s not, I hope you’ll have it repaired. Every time one of these mechanical masterpieces is serviced or repaired, the future of film photography is extended.

If we could let the machines fight and leave people out of it, that would be an improvement.

The Great Dictator @ottosimm.bsky.social · 09/07/2026

Why stop there? Do we need career politicians, billionaire donors, political consultants, or political parties? We can be rid of all of it by getting rid of elections and forming statistically representative bodies by random selection. Imagine the implications for democracy!

000

The Great Dictator @ottosimm.bsky.social · 09/07/2026

I told you exactly how this would play out. We have no significant disagreements. We voted for the same candidate. My comment was not directed at you or critical of anyone but fake leftist trolls and bots, and yet here we are, exactly where I told you we’d be. I know the script.

000

The Great Dictator @ottosimm.bsky.social · 09/07/2026

No one forced you to identify as a bot or troll, that’s an assumption you made after not reading my comment carefully or asking for clarification.

100

The Great Dictator @ottosimm.bsky.social · 09/07/2026

Because a lot of anti-Harris “leftists” (notice the quotes) are anti-democracy trolls and bots. dividing the left and encouraging purity testing benefits anti-democracy interests, and it’s easy. Others, like yourself, easily adopt a script and follow it, uncritically, and default to ad hominem.

100

The Great Dictator @ottosimm.bsky.social · 09/07/2026

You’re right, that’s usually the one people I have this argument with imagine / assume we disagree on, but there’s never any basis in my comments for that assumption, and it triggers the script we’ve been playing out, but it has no basis in reality.

100

The Great Dictator @ottosimm.bsky.social · 09/07/2026

I responded to comments about those things, but I didn’t evaluate or defend Harris’s campaign. Now answer my question.
