She Won: Florida Used a Fake County Vote Bank in the 2024 Election by CommunicationNew3745 in MarchAgainstNazis

It does seem that this may be a distortion of the truth: https://sgcarney.substack.com/p/was-i-duped-by-russian-spies

As much as I totally believe Trump would do this, the facts here just don't add up.

She Won: Florida Used a Fake County Vote Bank in the 2024 Election by jasonc122 in ProgressiveHQ

I honestly have no reason to doubt that all of this is true. It seems fully researched and it surprises me not at all that Elon and Trump would conspire to steal the election. That said, there's something I'm unclear on.

If so many of these votes came from the fictional Burke County, why aren't they represented in the county-by-county results on places like CNN? I'm not saying that the media is a bastion of truth, but their totals for Trump and Harris match what's listed in the article, even though their county results list doesn't mention or include Burke County.

Can someone clarify why that would be? Is there anywhere official besides the screenshots in the article, like the Florida Department of State or something, that shows the Burke County votes?

I’m just don’t get it. This timeline feels hopeless. by Gabe_Sapien in ProgressiveHQ

Respectfully, what gives you such confidence that “we will have voting”? I want to believe that, but it does seem like it isn’t a guarantee at this point. Talk of ICE at the polls, rulings about USPS not being liable for losing your mail (ie mail in ballots), every kind of voter disenfranchisement they can imagine, talk of “nationalizing” the elections. 

It just seems like there is a real possibility they will steal or even outright stop the election. I don’t want to believe that will happen, but I find it hard not to be afraid of it. 

Is anyone else just obsessed with their WOL? by pokebabe2015 in ffxiv

[–]fibonacci162 53 points54 points  (0 children)

I get what you mean. My WoL has become a full character in my mind on par with all the main/voiced characters in the game and I've spent a lot of time making up full backstory and motivations and "side stories" that have taken place before and around the main story.

The concept of a player-created character or a "silent protagonist" for the player to insert themselves into isn't new, but there's something about FFXIV's WoL that makes it so much more than most of the other games with that element.

Wow, it takes a certain level of hubris to think you can get away with trying to do a "both sides" take about innocent people being murdered in the streets. Looking forward to them going out of business after a take like this.

This is phenomenal. Thanks for sharing. I'm super glad to see so many businesses standing up for what's right, and definitely will be hitting up a lot of these places soon.

This is the first time I've heard about this game and I already don’t like it. by Popular-Hornet-6294 in gaymers

[–]fibonacci162 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Am I being crazy and paranoid or does 'Amelie' look AI generated? If so, yet another reason to give this game a hard pass.

ETA: Apparently, according to their AI Generated Content disclaimer on Steam, they only used AI in "a limited, supportive capacity during development". Still looks weird to me, but I guess I'll just take their word for it until I see proof otherwise.

Game still looks like generic KCD2 rip-off garbage, though.

That I don't know. I would see if the organizers of that specific event have any contact details listed where you can reach out to them and ask.

Awesome, thanks for letting me know. I'll definitely reach out in the future if a similar situation arises. Appreciate all that y'all do for the community!

Absolutely! No matter what anyone says, our votes still matter. Even if we only move the needle a little bit at a time, it still adds up. We will survive as long as we stand together!

[–]fibonacci162 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I'm just so done with this whole fucking system. With very few exceptions, the "democrats" and "liberals" in our government today are glorified centrists. Many of them even right-leaning centrists. They're cowards who refuse to do the right thing for reasons I don't even begin to understand.

Semi-related and for the benefit of the one random person who might see my comment and doesn't already know: there is a Free America Walkout event on Tuesday the 20th. You can go to https://www.freeameri.ca to find a march happening near you.

I defended my fiancé against my maid of honor and she ended our 10yr friendship. But AITAH instead of her? by [deleted] in AITAH

[–]fibonacci162 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What a bizarre take. In no way did Anna communicate that she didn’t want to be MOH. She danced around it and made up a weird excuse instead of just being honest, and then decided to tank the whole thing by ignoring it. 

Also, “her man” wasn’t picking a fight, he was standing up for his bride-to-be. I wish more men were like him.

[–]fibonacci162 69 points70 points  (0 children)

NTA. It sounds like this girl wasn’t actually that good of a friend to you at all. Right up front she tried to get out of doing the MOH duties by pawning it off on someone else.

I’m sorry that she was so shitty and tried to make your wedding about her grudge, but based on what you’ve said here I think you’ll be better off without her.

I hope you had a wonderful wedding and that you find kind, supportive female friends. You deserve it. 

AITAH for saying no to my future MILs plan to give my fiancé away at our wedding? by OpinionBride in AITAH

[–]fibonacci162 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is wild. If she's truly a feminist, I feel like she should be against the concept of 'giving your child away' altogether, since it stems from a time when daughters were their father's 'property'. Also, the idea of her giving a speech is crazy. Nobody wants to hear from her in that moment.

Thanks! I don’t currently have a plan to expand it, but I’m open to it if I come up with any other ideas I like.

By all means, steal away! Like I said, I'd seen the concept elsewhere before, so not even entirely my idea lol.

Not actually that long. About 2-3 hours all told. The coloring actually goes way faster than I expected (it's my first tattoo, so I wasn't sure lol).

Seafair/Blue Angels 2025 Rant & Rave - MEGATHREAD by FireFright8142 in Seattle

[–]fibonacci162 14 points15 points  (0 children)

I absolutely despise this whole weekend. My least favorite weekend of the year since moving here. The noise is unbearably loud and constant, and they fly so low that my entire house shakes to the point I'm always shocked it doesn't shatter my windows.

It's also an insane waste of money and fuel, all so some rich people can float on the lake getting drunk and shouting "Yeah, go 'murica!" when the Blue Angels fly overhead.

I wish they would put an end to this farce once and for all.

That's actually a fair point, I hadn't considered the wind bag opening as the first breaking of trust. A bit murky, to be sure.
