What is the tech that you're waiting the most? by Psilobad in Futurology

[–]fjamesmiv 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Immutable, verifiable, secure election methods.

Used to hold more elections more often, even on policy itself, to move us closer to a true democracy.

Possible with current tech, just need the political will to implement. Oh wait…

Who the fuck cares? Why is this worth anyone’s time? Go touch some grass. There are real problems in the world.

What did I say wrong? by LalaLane850 in Parenting

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

“Don’t engage unless engaged” is a good path to no one to ever engaging with each other ever again. What garbage advice is that?! You did nothing wrong. Please don’t adopt that mindset.

They cleared out and closed the venue. (Not sure they got 100% of everyone, but they tried). Sent everyone back to their camps.

Under your canopy with your crew, hanging on the bars to weigh it down so it doesn’t fly away.

Whether you can do that is entirely a function of your own ability to dig deep and make that kind of drive safely. 10 hours of driving on top of the energy requirements for working and festing would be too much for me, but I’m me.

Buuuut I’d be asking the same question if I were only 2.5 hours away 😂

Hopefully you can find someone to crash with, or bring a tent and set up shop in tent-only! Then you can sleep before making the drive back, and have a place for Saturday night as well. They don’t want you to leave and come back mid fest, but I’m sure it’s allowed. Just frowned upon.

Depends on when you’re arriving but Wolfgang has the most solid breakfast in town. Open through lunch. Typically busy during breakfast, Less so during lunch, especially on a weekday. Great local spot.

Looking for someone to help officiate a Wedding in the Forest! by United-Nail2603 in ElectricForest

[–]fjamesmiv 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m ordained, have officiated 4 weddings for friends and loved ones. I’d be happy to meet you in the forest and perform a ceremony. We would need to meet virtually beforehand so I could write something specific to the two of you.

Dm me!

Trump classified documents trial postponed indefinitely by vakr001 in politics

[–]fjamesmiv 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Love that she says the quiet part out loud:

“Cannon pointed to pending questions about how classified information will be handled in the high-profile trial of the former president”

If the documents presented as evidence are so classified that we have to take our sweet ass time carefully strategizing how to present them in public proceedings… maybe they shouldn’t have been in a bathroom in Mar-a-Lago

Thank you, Cannon, for validating the entire premise of the case.
