  • Roe getting stuck down was very specifically the fault of the entire democratic and Republican parties since roe was ruled. From the very day of the ruling legal commentators tried to push pro abortion sides of both parties to pass a law ensuring the right given the ruling was so poorly made.

    So no, I’m not that type of person. Do you want to do more personal nonsequitur attacks or are you going to argue like an adult.

    To your second point Harris has explicitly promised to continue videns policy on Israel, which is to send troops and arms to the country so they may commit genocide without any outside interference.

    I don’t know why you’re lying about this. Other liberals have just dropped this weird denialist attitude and are already in to justifying the genocide as a self preservation thing.

    Sanitation in Rome was open sewer lines yes, that had constantly flowing water that removed waste in the gutter. Also closed sewer lines nes that removed waste from people’s houses. Depending on the era you want to try to claim this in. At no point were people just throwing waste into the street and leaving it there. That was just an English thing.




  • There is no worse evil than genocide. You cannot lesser evil your way out of being responsible for a genocide you’re committing. It is never the less evil choice. You’ve hit rock bottom. There’s no where else anyone can go.

    I’m not going to vote for genocide. I’m not going to endorse it, fund it, or rubber stamp it out of a sense if self preservation because quite frankly that’s a pathetic excuse that only the most pathetic scum sucking coward would use.

    I would rather neither fascist be elected, that the American public use their collective power to demand both parties remove themselves and a nation wide vote be held for non genocidal candidates.

    But since that’s not an option and this vote truly does not matter to anyone with humanity, I chose to vote third party early, and I’ll be helping my local mutual aid networks prepare a little extra since they enemies of either a Harris or trump government.






  • The same reason the literal entirety of society exists. After we completely figured out food, water, and shelter, we got bored. We stopped being at risk of famine 10k years ago, we pretty quickly figured out fermentation and distillation makes water not kill us, and we figured out how to house everyone.

    Then we kept just making that faster and easier to accomplish.

    Well what do we do with all that free time? Fuck play games, do some entertainment, kill other people over petty nonsense, create pointless class based societies that generate artificial scarcity simply because a few people are greedy and most are too trusting of those greedy people, enrich out lives through momentary joy.

    So in the dark ages of computing this tradition was continued and a very smart, highly paid scientist in charge of tens of millions of dollars of equipment made some of that equipment play table tennis.

    A few decades and massive corporate funding of naive over enthusiastic nerds with much cheaper but more powerful equipment later and we have video games instead of going to the pub to play dice or doing a war…
