Lol I was gonna ask isn’t their flag the one MAGAts will accidentally use as the US flag. And, well, yes it is.

Well, definitely never measure an m&m tube to see if a…cylinder will fit inside.

Did you have a stroke writing this??? Wtf

Never gonna have more than two parties as long as we still use “first past the post” voting.

God damnit

Thar hits in the feels, man, warn me next time! 😆

So, you see, the kidnapping and human trafficking is part of the luxury package, so obviously that comes with additional fees, etc…

I think the problem is far simpler; a system designed by so-called elites who viewed the citizenry as inferior. So they explicitly rejected democracy and chose to create a republic in order to be certain only those deemed “worthy” would actually hold power.

No. It does kinda make sound like a dork, though. Considering my comment largely concerned the history before that.

¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Uhh, ok.

You know, a “first past the post” voting system like we have does not produce results that align with the wishes of the voters, right? And especially when combined with that asinine Electoral College bullshit (which I swear only exists specifically to make gerrymandering a thing).

Besides, a government so openly corrupt that we are the entire reason the term “banana Republic” exists is a pretty clear sign that our so called “democratic” system is, and always has been, a fucking farce.

You want someone to blame? How about the bigots and slavers that founded this shit hole. Hell, the first system of government they created accidentally left too much power in the hands of the people, so the Constitution was drafted in secret and without any legal authority. That alone speaks volumes.

And quite frankly, you sound like you have chosen to believe that everything is the fault of a portion of the populace that is less worthy than the rest. Guess what, though - that’s textbook bigotry.

But, sure, go on with your bad self…or whatever 🙄

I honestly would not be surprised if any attempt to save these samples, or in fact to defend any of the other scientific progress being discarded, was met with a harsh reprisal.

Like, they’re intentionally going over the top destroying these institutions and data to provoke a reaction, this drawing their awake adversaries or if the woodwork. (And, since they’re so opposed to being “woke”, one just assume they’re sleepwalking through life…)

Oh, god. You’re so boring!!

LIVE A LITTLE!

I’d say it won’t hurt, bit I lie. Don’t worry, though; it builds character. 😆

But seriously, go away now…

See, you can’t even get that right. They just sprayed my lawn!

Sheesh, dude. It’s like you’re not even trying! Oh, wait… ʕ ͡° ʖ̯ ͡°ʔ

Step one is to try and access the bios. If you can, you just need a USB stick with your installer for the OS of your choice (Windows? Eew!).

If not, you’ll need to search for information for your laptop model. You might be able to disassemble the case and remove the CMOS battery. Or, might be another trick?

If you can’t get into the BIOS, you might have a bit more difficult road ahead. Then again, I recall back in the day there was a Linux distro that could launch from an .exe inside of Windows; is that still possible, though? I have no idea.

Good luck! And might not hurt to chat up the next autistic nerdy type you come across. 😂

It’d be worth saving, that’s for sure (the observatory).

But, not just anger; what is required is the righteous fury from the stories that inspired the christian bible. Not the faux outrage of modern day hypocrites, but true, overwhelming fury at these injustices.

Until then…more lives will be taken. 😔

I will only purchase a Switch 2 once somebody comes up with a way to hack it (and assuming any modchip is not unreasonably difficult to install); if that doesn’t happen, fuck it, I’m gonna pass.

Don’t forget the danger involved with such a choice. Unfortunately, we probably never hear about the majority of those who try to do right as a so called “peace” officer.

Cox, though? Motherfucker has got some brass balls, man, holy shit

How are we gonna successfully transfer ownership and control, though?

Holy hell, way to move the goal posts. 🤣

but if a nonprofit with funding from say a dozen different countries

That would not be a private entity…?

Unfortunately, you’re chasing a pipe dream. Sorry, but it’s true.

But I can’t fault you for trying to hold onto hope. What the fuck else do we have anymore?

¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Really? Because privatization does not lower costs. I mean, seriously think this through - in addition to the operational costs, you are adding a layer of parasitic “capitalists” who intend to personally profit from the situation. Please explain to me how in the hell x + y is supposed to give you a lower final total than x + nothing?!?

And when everything goes to hell because there are now parasitic sociopaths siphoning away the money, the final result is almost always to sell everything off to a “private equity” that will dismantle shit and sell it off to the highest bidder. Because that’s what private equity is - a way to transfer the value to an individual, thus depriving the public of whatever service or product involved.

I’m honestly glad I’m just some random jackass. Cause then I can let the small pleasures and joys in my life be meaningful. Not sure if I’m wording that very well, but yeah
