Election Aftermath

Jeez... someone with your wife's maiden name could totally steal your gas bill out of your mailbox and use her identity to go vote for a democrat, and then our country would be like all fucked up, not teh great country it is now.

As shitty as some people think this country is....I sill think it's pretty great. Maybe because I'm an entitled white person.

All joking aside, is a utility bill really a good form of identification? We don't even get a paper copy in the mail anymore. All of our monthly bills are paperless. That brings up another pet peeve of mine...the USPS. We really don't need daily mail. Let's start that conversation again :cheers:

Maybe I can get banned for disagreeing with Kaline again.

Wait, are you really dumb enough to think someone would have to have the same name that?s on the utility bill to commit voter fraud? Someone with any name can use any utility bill and pretend they?re that person. That?s why it?s a shitty idea to allow a utility bill to be used as a form of ID.
 
Now, the second blurb - I?m with Mud on that one - sounds like de facto censorship to me.

Who is the arbiter of what ?disinformation? is - the White House? Ummm?no. Not according to the Constitution.

This is a very difficult question. Adversaries are using our freedom of speech and our social media platforms against us. There is no black & white way to separate free speech from the propaganda of our adversaries. As soon as they get Americans to spread it, there's no difference.

This is where the concept of self-government kicks in, which has been challenged by Americans since even before the ratification of the constitution that ensures it.

I meant to post that post that you quoted from on the corona insanity thread, but that?s OK.

We are all on all of these threads already anyway.

It could also have gone on the Internet censorship thread.

So what the hell, I unintentionally split the difference and unintentionally put it on the election aftermath thread.

Although it does not entirely not belong here anyway.

There never has been.

The strength has always been the truth in the free marketplace of ideas.

We have to count on that.

If that's all there was to it, I don't think the advertising industry would be as big as it is.
 
?99% of the people becoming seriously ill and needing to be hospitalized are unvaccinated?

?WhiteHouse coming down hard and big tech companies trying to get them to stop the flow of all this vaccine disinformation.?

Those are two audio blurbs I just heard on KTLA5.

Here?s where ya gotta think really critically.

What are the demographics of the people who were hospitalized? Are they people who had reason to believe they were at a fairly low risk because of age and no underlying comorbidities, or were they people who might have known that they were at a higher risk yet chose not to get vaccinated for whatever reason they chose?

I don?t know, and we need to know the answers to that.

Now, the second blurb - I?m with Mud on that one - sounds like de facto censorship to me.

Dr. Kelly Victory joined Trump?s lawsuit against Big Tech on the grounds they?ve acting as an extension of the government; we?ll see how it goes.

On Monday I?m going to reach out to my friends in media to see if I can get some answers on the demographics of the unvaccinated people who are being hospitalized regarding specifically their ages and any underlying health conditions. I?ll get back to you guys with what I find out.

Not in this thread - this thread is for thinking critically about why only 20 heroes showed up for the July 15th insurrection when we are facing the biggest threat to civil rights post emancipation, bar none. If people are doubting this narrative on racist voter suppression, the COVID narrative could be next. Before you know, people everywhere will be thinking and making decisions for themselves.

Edit: and now I see you meant to post this on the Corona virus thread. wasn't fully caught up when I posted that. my bad.

That?s OK, thank you for quoting the whole thing.

I try to move it to the corona insanity thread and I think I might have lost it somewhere in cyberspace.

So at least it?s somewhere.

you did move it to the Corona Insanity thread - I noticed because you did that while I was quoting your post and I noticed when I clicked "Submit Reply" my post was actually in the Corona Insanity thread. Now that's insanity - a post I started in one thread actually posted in another.

I cut and pasted it back where it belonged once I realized I wasn't going crazy but clearly, you mods have way too much power.

I have very little power. The little power I have I always use for good and I never use it for evil.

Perhaps the post needed to build up its viral load in the cybersphere before its presence could be detected on the intended thread.

for now - just be aware, power corrupts even the best of us. One day you're moving posts between threads then, before you know it you're censoring posts and the next logical step is you suppressing the minority vote and spreading dangerous COVID misinformation to millions. It's like a Pinky and the Brain episode, only real.

There is no danger I?ll ever get that powerful here.

I wasn?t even able to give you a one day ban.

OK that was a joke.

I never wanted to and I never tried.

That?s pretty funny ? I?m cracking myself up here actually.

that's true, this arena is way too small. You will have to expand your empire beyond DSF before you do any of that really nasty shit I described. I'm just here as your friend reminding you to stay grounded - power is like sex and ice cream, once you have it, you always want more.

Edit: to be clear I meant sex or ice cream but I guess sex and ice cream also works.

I?ve done it a time or two. It was okay to try.

Never became a regular thing; too much effort.
 
although you didn't explicitly mention power, I'm pretty sure you're not talking about sex or ice cream here.

Yeah actually I was. Both together at the same time.

I wouldn?t do it now that I?m keto, or kind of keto, I don?t pay attention to what the cow ate before I eat cow; i figure that was the cow?s business - I am a libertarian and an animal lover.

There are brands of keto ice cream; I guess they?re made with some other sweetener than sugar. I guess I could try one of those.
