  • Do you know what will definitely NOT help get rid of the electoral college? People wasting their votes on 3rd party spoilers

    Do you know what would MORE LIKELY move people to demand the elimination of the electoral college? Harris getting 10 million+ more votes, and Trump either winning the electoral college or attempting a coup based on lies because a swing state was close.

    The more votes Harris gets, the clearer the will of the people, the harder it is to pretend there was voter fraud.







  • Everyone here knows you don’t care one whit about genocide, BananaBrain.

    You aren’t raising money for any political action group or charity. You won’t go door to door or work a phone bank to raise awareness. You won’t do ONE. SINGLE. THING. to actually make a difference.

    Each night you go to bed, you’ll smile thinking about all the comments you wrote on Lemmy that day, and how many people must be so impressed by your noble anti-genocide stance, all while Trump turns the remaining Palestinian territory to glass.

    In the past 6 months, Starlink satellites made 50,000 collision avoidance maneuvers. They now maneuver 275 times a day to avoid crashing into other space objects.

    They use an on board AI to calculate the positions, but each time they course-correct, it throws off forecasting accuracy for several days. So a collision isn’t an if, it’s a when, and suddenly we’re in Kessler Syndrome territory. Or maybe enough people will eventually wake up and realize Musk was an actual idiot all along.

    But until then, great, low pings for video calls. Hurray.

    How about we check back in on your comment in say, oh, 5 years, when we become forcibly earthbound, victims of Kessler’s Syndrome? Because by then, a starlink satellite will collide with another creating a chain reaction of collisions, birthing an ever-growing cascading field of Elon’ space debris bukkake all over the Earth’s face.

    But hey, Pocket Rocket Boy has got to have an excuse to keep launching so he can continue collecting his government welfare checks. $15.3 billion since 2003 and climbing.
