The best part of that modernization would be the feeling of betrayal from being mocked by her copartisans No one, not even the nice Christian boy she talks to or whatever is safe bc he's really a front all along from some fascist incel forum who posts her darkest secrets to 4chan for all to see.

This is happening because our government (federal, state, and local) doesn't believe in enforcing the law for Republican flavored crimes.

Especially because it's impossible to really truly *know* whether or not the anime girlfriend AI that some neck beard is negging is capable of suffering the way that house plant is, the carpenter ant, or a gerbil.

My (apparently) hot take is that consciousness, and the ability to experience suffering are massively different things. You wouldn't call a digital carpenter ant "conscious" in the way a person is but torturing carpenter ants is still pretty clearly unethical

Not like "regular shipments from the asteroid belt" more like "redirect a close approach asteroid to the earths sphere of influence over like 10 years and mine for the next 50"

I mean many asteroids have like, more rare earth metals in them than the world consumes in decades right now. This doesn't make sense right now, probably not even in our lifetimes but it's definitely reasonable that eventually those start looking tasty enough to want to harvest from

I mean, industrialization bod space is also likely eventually but that likely just looks like oil platforms. Like I think most space colonialists fail to really think through how and why colonialism happened in the real world. Living in Nebraska meant freedom from European monarchy, free land

I mean I would love a gta map of my hometown but the novelty would wear off in about 2 hours. Not really something that *replaces* GTA, more of a mod.

Man, I finally got to a place where I could afford my own gaming PCs just when the AI boom hit. My current gaming PC has had a few updates in its life, but I originally bought it when *harry fucking Reid* was the Senate majority leader. My gaming PC is as old as GTA 5

Ian Comings 🇺🇦🏳️‍🌈 @seedofcheif.bsky.social · 09/10/2026

Like, I have been waiting on buying a new pc for nearly 3 years now because I simply cannot afford the new prices. I would have absolutely been able to afford a relatively nice PC at 2023 prices but not today!

Ian Comings 🇺🇦🏳️‍🌈 @seedofcheif.bsky.social · 09/10/2026

I don't see how anyone thinks it's sustainable for a new computer to cost about as much as my car, and I find it a touch odd that nobody talks about this. When your options are either a semi-affordable internet machine, or $3,000 for a sort of acceptable gaming computer, who's going to game?

110

Ian Comings 🇺🇦🏳️‍🌈 @seedofcheif.bsky.social · 09/10/2026

Also, let's be real, the future of gaming is nobody gaming because AI has driven the price of computer parts into the stratosphere. Unless something changes video games will fully become a luxury good.

I mean that's also true of 2020 yet January 6th still happened. The lack of planning and hairbrained-ness is why it failed but that doesn't mean they don't Leroy jenkins things again.

Hell, you can choose to study or even just be interested in something you think is very cool but would never want to be seen used. I am deeply fond of military aviation, that doesn't mean I'd like seeing f-35s leveling cities. War bad, planes rad.

Things the national news media is covering instead of a politically motivated rape of a Congressional candidate: people renovating their homes for the sake of getting groceries in their houses more easily. This isn't a mistake, it's an active choice

Screenshot of the Washington Post "Costco fans are renovating their houses to make unloading groceries easier

People are installing tiny doors that connect garages to kitchens."

I think these people need to hear stories from Obama alumni who heard Democrats on the doors saying shit like "well obviously I'm voting for the [SLUR], normally I vote for republicans, but that [DIFFERENT SLUR] clearly has some good ideas"

Ian Comings 🇺🇦🏳️‍🌈 @seedofcheif.bsky.social · 07/10/2026

Yeah and a couple of people who would have voted for the GOP candidate anyway would feel vindicated and vote even harder! The force with which people press the button for their candidate is an under studied metric in voting.

Ian Comings 🇺🇦🏳️‍🌈 @seedofcheif.bsky.social · 07/10/2026

And I should note this is different from a tracker who are usually paid worse than his and usually have more duties than to heckle this guy at one event for like an hour.

Engaged meaning most people don't actually watch the ad, that's the impact for people who actually watched the ad. And again all of this presumes that maybe one of them gets AES to crack and say something dumb which they get on camera.

010

Ian Comings 🇺🇦🏳️‍🌈 @seedofcheif.bsky.social · 07/10/2026

each conversation increases propensity to vote for your candidate by about ~3% So how many hecklers do you think it would take to make 10 voters think they should maybe not vote for AES? Remembering that digital and the TV ads have about an order of magnitude less impact per *engaged* contact.

Ian Comings 🇺🇦🏳️‍🌈 @seedofcheif.bsky.social · 07/10/2026

Would end up with ~10 real conversations with swing voters. That's perfect canvasser per day. So you could have that, ooooor you could try to ragebait the candidate at an exorbitant rate for content.

Ian Comings 🇺🇦🏳️‍🌈 @seedofcheif.bsky.social · 07/10/2026

Like, let's do the math here, let's say that they pay these college students $25 an hour to knock doors in 8 hour shifts (still $200 a day) and they take it seriously, they could easily hit 25 doors per hour to a total of 200 doors per day with a contact rate of 20% which is pretty average you

Ian Comings 🇺🇦🏳️‍🌈 @seedofcheif.bsky.social · 07/10/2026

My favorite part about this is how much of a giant fucking waste of money it would be to pay people to heckle a political candidate as opposed to, oh geez I don't know, knock the doors of identified swing voters. This is basically just shoveling money into a fire for the sake of content.

White supremacist cops take a minority citizen, drive him out to the woods as a threat, and leave him there. No, it's not Mississippi in the 1930s, why do you ask?

Okay guys please stop, hes clearly saying that paying more for gas is a small price to pay because the alternative is letting iran take out LA or San Diego. Like he's an incoherent nutcase but we shouldn't just pretend he was proposing sacrificing two cities

You can basically break this down into "elections Donald Trump ran in" and "all other elections." For whatever reason, ppl on here keep ptsding themselves (and political news media keeps wishcasting) into thinking that a non-Trump election is going to act like a Trump one

One of those threads have like 3 guys all going "oh why do internationals like macron so much" Maybe because the other candidates are putinists? And melenchon being based chungus for the homeless is a lot less front of mind to us!

Okay but that assumes that all undecided to break for Republicans which, once again, would be astronomically unlikely. It's not just the fact that Dems are up, it's that Dems are >50% of all respondents in these, which is dramatically different from most polling in these states in the past.

This is great news, but it really is something that I want to thrown in the face of every single person who pretended the pandemic stopped killing people in May of '21 It took 2 more years for it to not be one of the top 10 causes of death worldwide!

I'm going to need the people who get angry under every D +1000 Poll to shut the fuck up and take an SSRI because nobody is less likely to volunteer or vote because they saw a poll on Blue sky

I'm going to be so for real dog At this point Republicans keeping the Senate would require the largest polling miss in my lifetime, and not by a small amount (especially for a midterm)
