  • Hi. I voted uncommitted. In the primary. Also, I advocated for others to vote uncommitted, in the primary. There, it’s a useful signal. In the general, it’s handing the country to people gleefully proclaiming they want to round you up, and who openly and blatantly showed their disregard for your continued existence by letting a plague run rampant on the basis that cities vote blue and are more crowded so would suffer more death.



  • I agree that that’s fucked. Giving the red team power means that number gets bigger, faster, and that no improvement whatsoever takes place. Perfection isn’t on my political menu, do you have a suggestion that isn’t accelerationism or not influencing the situation at all? Because “vote third party” sure doesn’t seem to have “sent a message” in any way I can recognize. It just enshittified the country faster. Looks like harm reduction is the order of the day in politics while encouraging improvement via other means.



  • Well, I voted Biden in 2020, and here we are four years later and I ain’t in a camp yet. Kind of seems like that’s an inaccurate prediction, and you would be served by considering the chain of reasoning that led you to this pass, to see what improvements might be made in your process to enable better predictions in the future. Not every change is an improvement, but every improvement is a change.





  • Okay so this article, and the one it links back to, make much of the “rejected by veterinarians” line, but it’s incredibly unclear as to why. Carbon dioxide would be an awful way to go, but I don’t understand why, of someone is going to be killed (and not just killed but having their pattern erased when it could be preserved, known time of death in a controlled facility is a best case for cryo), nitrogen hypoxia is considered bad instead of a best option. Can someone explain this? As I understand it your get giddy and happy, then pass out, then die. Why is that unethical, if you’ve already decided the killing is ethical?
