When I copy and paste someone else’s work, I get called a plagiarist and get fired.

When OpenAI creates a robot that does it really really really fast, they make enough money to feed the planet hundreds of times over.

I don’t want to live on this planet any more.

I agree. I need to further involve myself in informing more people

I do not feel good about voting for genociders. I feel fucking awful about it. But I know with absolute certainty that a democrat or a republican is going to be elected president, and yes democrats also defund schools but I’d way rather not have to start from square zero four years from now.

Not voting for Harris sends a message to the democrats that they are not championing human rights strong enough, and that supposedly ought to send their platform in the direction we want, correct? The more people who don’t vote for democrats, the stronger the message is so we should tell more people not to vote for democrats if I understand you correctly.

It should go without saying that if you tell enough people not to vote democrat, even in a deep-blue state, republican votes will win out. I’m not saying that’s a likely scenario, but why when I know people like you will opt not to vote, should I encourage other people anywhere to not vote and even get close to risking that? And before you say “like you said it’s not a likely scenario so there’s no risk” there is absolutely risk. We risk losing public funding for education and we risk further loss of human rights in our own backyard. I’m not sure why that thinking is “defective” but if there is a specific flaw in the logic please point it out.

I agree, but I don’t have that choice right now. The issue of genocide isn’t on the two-party ballot. The issue of public education is. Fewer educated people means fewer people who can even identify genocide when it happens.

“What good is identifying genocide if you’re not gonna stop it”

How the fuck can I stop it?!?!??

ultimately, the federal Depart- ment of Education should be eliminated.

Direct Quote from Project 2025

Thanks to schools, I can read and understand that when someone says “we want to eliminate public education” they mean “we want to eliminate public education.”

This alone is enough reason to vote democrat. Eliminating public education means fewer people will be educated enough to know when they’re lied to. I know the democrats are a bunch of shiteating liars but they have enough of a chance to win and they’re not trying to defund school and those two reasons are literally enough to vote for them.

There’s a large number of people out there that think “everything sucks right now and there’s a democrat president, so to make things different I should vote republican”

Fund schools. Keep the department of Education in existence and quadruple its funding.

I wonder if the advent of Windows 11’s “best” features will become known as “The Great Defenestration”

False. The hard drive where Windows lives will soon find itself exiting my window
