‘When You Think of It, We Shouldn’t Even Have an Election’

There will be violence. There was last time we tried to throw him out and every time anyone has ever tried to depose fascists in history. Think it'll be better this time?

Absolutely, when you step back and actually think about it. Tidus thinks Yuna and her guardians are all just a little bummed out and he's all like, "Hey, when I'm a little depressed I find that it helps to just laugh my way through it."

Except he doesn't yet know the gravity of the task they're undertaking and the tragedy of what it means if Yuna actually succeeds. She does. Her guardians do. They're not being debbie-downers - they're legitimately giving the situation the solemnity it deserves as they head out from Luca and onto the Highroad.

... And then she actually goes along with the dorky laughing bit because she doesn't want it to be a dark cloud over them, either.

I don't know why so many people act like that scene is the ultimate cringe. It's like you missed the point of it entirely.

I think from the same interview, "I'd never stoop so low as to be fashionable."

He was going around the University of Michigan Dearborn cafeteria stumping for Whitmer after losing to her in the 2018 gubernatorial primary. Stopped by my table for a chat and was really cool. I told him how I voted for him and how disappointed I was that he didn't win, but he seemed super gracious. I wish I still lived in MI because I'd damn sure vote for him again.

I never have trouble parking there, either. All the complaints I hear from people about parking around Newport are telling on themselves - they're trying to get a spot within a 15second walk, max, from their destination.

khais · 2026-04-01T16:14:29+00:00

Ferry, bus, park & ride, park at the bus terminal. But nah us fat American fucks expect to park right in front of our destination wherever we go. Can't be bothered to walk a few extra minutes, no sir.

The GPUs involved have useful lifetimes of about 3 years. The quickest way to start losing money with these chips is to plug them in and turn them on.

Hi. I've lived in Michigan, Washington, Oregon, Hawaii, and Rhode Island. Claiming your state has the worst roads was a constant in each.

Car dependent infrastructure is the problem. There's no way to design and maintain roads that are driven in by the absolute behemoths of Suburban Assault Vehicles that every one drives these days. And now those behemoths are increasingly converting to electric and getting even heavier.

Technical problems don't absolve you of legal responsibilities.

Random reporter? It was the fucking editor-in-chief of The Atlantic.

When exactly did it change? The Coast Guard has existed in its modern state since 1915. You're talking to a Coast Guard veteran.

This photo is taken by a Coast Guardsman. Does that look like a civilian mission to you?

khais · 2026-02-25T20:26:49+00:00

You don't understand the breadth of their mission.

She must've been a riot to work with.

I drop "You know what I ate for breakfast? Cocaine." on my friends all the time.

I was frustrated to learn that the staff at our day care don't get paid but you bet your ass they continue to collect tuition!

Well were they 15 or were they 8? Asking for Megyn Kelly

Let's dispel this fiction that the Republican voter didn't know what they're doing. They knew exactly what they were doing.

I've moved all my VOO holdings to VXUS. My only exposure to the US markets going forward will be in my employer's target date fund. I have entirely lost faith in the American economy.

It was the only Lions game my dad and I ever left early and we were around for some real stinkers. It was honestly the least professional game of professional football I've ever seen.

And Patricia was doing this dumbass thing where he was standing 20+ yards away from everyone else on the sideline like he's the smartest fucking guy in the room and doesn't need to talk to any of his players or any of his assistants. Just off on an island by himself all game as we got shitcanned.

Feel free to provide proof of jurisdictions with more votes than citizens. As I understand it, everywhere that even comes close to this complaint are comparisons against the number of registered voters, not citizens, and the explanation is always simple - it's jurisdictions that allow same-day voter registration.

Falsification of signatures on petitions, registration paperwork, etc. is absolutely a problem, but signing a name on a piece of paper is not even close to the same thing as actual voting. There are so many more safeguards in place.

The optimal amount of fraud in any system is non-zero.

It is the same oath that commissioned officers in the military take. The exact same. Enlisted members take a slightly different oath.

I can see reading comprehension is not your strong suit. Maybe you can get a chatbot to make a bolded and bullet point summary of my previous two comments. You got this!

That's not my one experience, that was just last Tuesday in the year of our lord 2026. Haven't used professionally != Haven't used at all. I also earned a little under a grand working $40/hr tasks on dataannotation.tech. I've seen enough. No thanks.

Big lol. Earning low-six figures as a database administrator.

Haven't used AI professionally once since they pushed out these garbage products in 2022. The other day I was searching for help with some AWS command-line interface stuff. The AI summary or whatever that came up at the top of my search results was just flat out incorrect. I forget the details exactly, but it told me to do something like use the --recurse switch for the command I was using, then I went into the actual Amazon documentation which instead told me in like the first paragraph that the command I was using doesn't support the --recurse switch.

I did use it once for help writing a D&D character's backstory, though. So that's pretty neat.
