kingoffrancethe pillow guy saying "read your bibles" is unintentional face palm-level irony; u.s. presidents swear their oath on the kjv, which 1) never authorized any "independence" or "we the people"/more than one "king" (well, other than church of england claiming ind. from rome and hence, wanted their own bible)    2) king james, on the other hand, DID authorize "witch hunts" and wrote a manual or 2 as companion pieces to his kjv    -- Mar 31 21:44
kingoffranceit is surreal;    do these people have any idea of what the kjv "authorizes" and does not "authorize"?   no.Mar 31 21:44

DaemonFC[m]Including 7 points with Rasmussen, which leans Republican.Mar 31 22:23
DigitDaemonFC[m]: you advocate mass murder.  ... uhhh... you might wanna take a step back and reconsider.Mar 31 22:23

Narratoru have more trump idealogy than you think;-)Mar 31 22:23
DaemonFC[m]If they went into the election +10, they'd come out with at least 290 seats in the House.Mar 31 22:23

DaemonFC[m]And I was actually more or less in agreement with the Shadows.Mar 31 22:25
Digitlol.  what a fool.Mar 31 22:26
MinceRthis plague being "mass murder" implies it's either made by humans or deliberately spread by humans with the intention of killing people :>Mar 31 22:26
DaemonFC[m]It's the weak and the incompetent who always say things like "Make my country great again!".Mar 31 22:26
MinceRdo you know something we don't, Digit? :>Mar 31 22:26
DaemonFC[m]And this virus is killing them and kicking over the anthills.Mar 31 22:26
DigitMinceR: we all know something others dont.  but to agree with the shadows, seems high level foolishness.Mar 31 22:26
MinceRwhat did the shadows say?Mar 31 22:26
DaemonFC[m]It's not mass murder except that Trump fucked up the federal response.Mar 31 22:26
DaemonFC[m]And now it's too late except to try your best to avoid it with hand sanitizer if you have some.Mar 31 22:27
*Digit contemplates how to surmise the shadows...Mar 31 22:27

DaemonFC[m]Trump did all that.Mar 31 22:28
DaemonFC[m]Now his supporters are dying. Probably 1,000 people today alone.Mar 31 22:28
DaemonFC[m]It's spreading faster in rural areas by percentage, even with much less testing.Mar 31 22:29
DaemonFC[m]So I think this is really more of a "them" problem.Mar 31 22:29
DaemonFC[m]It'll kill two Republicans per Democrat, and the Democrats are old and conservative.Mar 31 22:30
Narratorviewer of spectale not a realityMar 31 22:30

MinceRnot nearly enough, but somethingMar 31 22:37

DaemonFC[m]In 10 years, the real shit show starts, but then this came along.Mar 31 22:37
MinceRcompassion -- one of the things humans are breeding out of themselvesMar 31 22:38
DaemonFC[m]> not nearly enough, but somethingMar 31 22:38
DaemonFC[m]Well, 1,000 people dead today, each one putting how much pollution into the environment of all sorts?Mar 31 22:38
Digitwhen we deploy compassion, we evolve our capacities for augment far greater than merely relying on the survival-of-the-fittest selection gate.  there's more to evolution than just killing off the weak.  ... and to presume to know what that is, and to accelerate it... wow foolish.  blinding arrogance.Mar 31 22:38
MinceRyeah, but there are billions and they're reproducingMar 31 22:39
DaemonFC[m]Compassion was already gone. Old people mocked us for dying of healthcare rationing, homelessness, war, and whatever else they threw at us.Mar 31 22:39
DaemonFC[m]Now they want us to feel bad for them.Mar 31 22:39
MinceRDigit: are those quotes from babylon 5?Mar 31 22:39

MinceR"Your arrogance was well-known in advance. We knew all about it."Mar 31 22:40
Digitwhat's with the notion of killing people to prevent polution???  how about instead, make the tech not be the poluting kind?    .... aw, but boohoo, we want to polute.   *cringe* why?  so u can remain dependent on the fuel pump?  XD  emancipation technologies exist.  many in the secret agencies and their contractors are itching to accelerate disclosure and get these technologies out... but there's big money coersions keeping the statusMar 31 22:41
Digitquo in place.  no need to have a cull.  like i say, there are win-win solutions waiting.Mar 31 22:41

MinceRthe overpopulation is making people crazyMar 31 22:43
MinceRit's the reason why people in cities behave like assholesMar 31 22:43
DigitMinceR: "perfect", that's the enemy of the perfectly adequate.   but "our", as in, the stuff that's used in practice today?  no indeed!  FAR from non-poluting.Mar 31 22:43
MinceRin many cases, living in a less polluting way reduces quality of lifeMar 31 22:43

Digitmismanagement of all our resources, not just space, contributes to the crazy, yeah.  idk if population density ("over population") is itself a key cause.  may just take one or two minor attenuations... and we could build arcologies around the world to accomodate > 300,000,000,000,000 (300trillion, not billion) (and i did do the maths (years ago).  so, again,  no cull necessary.   Mar 31 22:46
Digit... and that's even before i get to... we could each have had our own spaceship each, since the 1930s!  Mar 31 22:46
MinceRarcologies would concentrate people further and would make them even crazierMar 31 22:46
DigitI wonder how far back it goes, and how much the suppressed high tech goes way way way further back than that (like, thinking robert schoch n such).Mar 31 22:48
DigitMinceR: assuming we replicate the same mistakes.  arcologies can be multiple levels of open forrest space.Mar 31 22:48
DaemonFC[m]The problem is that there's a lot of dead wood to burn through and it's only cleared out a rounding error's worth.Mar 31 22:49

DaemonFC[m]The last two Republican presidents have ranged from 517 votes (after the recount was canceled by Republicans) and 26,000 (Trump).Mar 31 22:52
DaemonFC[m]In a state of almost 30 million people.Mar 31 22:52
DaemonFC[m]Before Trump botched the PR Hurricane thing to the level where 60,000 of them moved to Florida and can vote.Mar 31 22:53

DaemonFC[m]And 260,000 felons were re-enfranchised and most of them were convicted of Republican laws in the first place.Mar 31 22:53
DaemonFC[m]If more than about 35,000 people in Florida die and it had exactly the same electorate as last time (not even close) voting in the same way (his approval is down in Florida so they wouldn't), it's over for Trump.Mar 31 22:54
