Hey benign and honorable govt!

Please tell the website “kill-your-govt .net” that I am old enough to join the revolution!!!

Yea it’s bullshit. They want to build the whole thing as 'voluntary" which will last only until it’s in place and then some manufactured satanic-panik will make it “mandatory”

This is a ploy to build the system now and flip the switch later.

I grew up on TOS reruns, and TNG as a teen — but had gone off to foreign lands without television by the time DS9 was in full swing.

TBH I didn’t like it at all through the first season, and my millennial partner had told me that Quark was her favorite character and I just couldn’t square that with what I knew about ferengi.

BUT I was so, so wrong. DS9 is fantastic and the problematic merchant goblins are great characters.

Been doing bedtime DS9 lately, having already gone through TOS and TNG.

Amazingly, for a kid who watched TOS reruns in the 70s, there were some episodes that I had never seen. Also, some real stinkers – it was a slog at times

Anyhow, just now in DS9 S7 so soon it will be Voyager

Not being familiar with the controveries referenced in this thread…

All of this reminds me very much of OpenBSD and Theo de Radt (?) back in the 98-02 era.

OpenBSD is certainly not the most popular *nix today, but it’s probably the most secure.

Can we get a tldr of the “problematic behaviours”?

As a casual who bought a pixel 9 specifically for Graphene, I not too embedded in the culture/dramas, and surely many others reading here are similarly unfamiliar

Zinky Boys is a haunting but great read

Also her Voices from Chernobyl is fantastic

Afgantsy by Roderic Braithwaite is similarly great, and is written with a more historical perspective in terms of the political landscape that led to that conflict being so bitter. (relatively – all conflicts are bitter)

Wow — first seeing US Airways, and then later in the article Continental mentioned, lets me know that the page linked is wildly out of date.

I wonder if Pan-Am will make an appearance.

Hoppe’s #9

I have similar feelings and experiences as you, but have learnt while doing… uhh internet research, that micropeens do in fact have a pretty extensive and well-developed fanbase.

The acronym ‘sph’ is not very affirming, but there’s a hole other side to the genre that’s really quite supportive.

Some guys have all the luck, it seems.

Indeed, it’s a factoid that I heard/learnt somewhere…

Possibly from one of those “Astonishing Facts You Didn’t Know” toilet-tank books from the 1980s, before we had electronic poopy-time entertainment machines

Or rather, a Democratic majority Congress could USE that power to fix some things, and then shelve it.

Would they actually do that? X•doubt

No.

Remember their names for the PRIMARIES

Learn who’s challenging the incumbents, and throw a few bucks their way. Or help with their campaign

Most the Losers List above don’t expect to keep their seats or are otherwise election-proof to a degree, but it’s still important to pay attention in the primary.

Instead of ending up with a DNC-approved corpo-Dem, we need better candidates to win the PRIMARY

Mike Johnson won’t call the House in until after the 2 Dec special election in TN-07 Aftyn Behn is running against a maga candidate for a vacant seat

If she loses the election, then this cancels Grijalva’s vote and then it will be ‘safe’ for the Pedo Protection Party to bring the House back.

When she wins… Who knows.

The House will stay out until then, which is a major contributing factor to why the GOP was so desperate to peel off the ten Dork Dems on the Losers List above. They can NOT accept anything that would send the CR back to the House because the House is not available until 3 Dec.

Send Behn some dollars if you can, many small donations can have a great impact. She accepts no corp pac or iapac money

Also, she has a substack for posting about issues

Much later edit: Dunno why I had any faith in Schumer to stay the course. Of course they caved.

Falling for what?

Voting for the most progressive/left/whatever-label candidate that has any reasonable chance in the election? Is that falling for something?

Obviously the elections are over, with excellent results (nationwide), so all of this bleating is moot

But

Does anyone here sincerely believe that Cuomo would be a better Mayor? How many folks really wished Eric Adams the 2nd?

For sure, if Mamdani falls down and knocks his head and gets Fettermanized, that’s not gonna be cool.

But to criticize him for doing his best to become a good and capable leader for ALL OF NYC is silly. He’s not suddenly become Bibi’s best friend and I doubt seriously that he’s secretly wearing IDF panties to bed.

He IS however going to have to work with all of the constituencies in NYC which includes like a literal million Jews. That demographic isn’t going to be uniform in its outlook on the Palestinian genocide, and maybe 10% of them are going to be Hasidic or similar. There is really no benefit to gratuitously pissing any of them off before he even gets started.

This is just more purity test bullshit

What is the purpose of masses of tripwires?

Who even is this guy.

Is he of any consequence. Sincerely I have no idea because I don’t consume any form of ‘talking head’ media.

I realize that my refusal to participate in ‘podcast’ or whatever doesn’t mean they are irrelevant. But this guy seems like he should be wholly irrelevant, after listening for ~90 seconds

Changing the law to require Digital ID is as as simple as changing the word “never” to “will”

Many men would LOVE a reliable, non-condom, male-controlled birth control method

Currently for men there are two options — condoms, which are problematic and difficult in several ways, or vasectomy, which is essentially permanent or at least difficult and uncertain to be reversed.

The third method is to take WAY too many TOO HOT baths, but that also has uncertainty and is a real hassle.

As it stands, really for men they either need to use a condom, or trust that your female partner is reliable.
