The only group that doesn't know what he is doing are the democrats who can't know because they do not have the internal ideological framework to properly process a troll like this.
brb going on thedonald.win to see all the spicy memes about this. -

On a re-read, yes they can probably be used interchangeably. When I wrote that I couldn't think of a better way to put it. Perhaps "goal" was enough all along. -

Originally posted by Speedy Parker If a system has examples of fraud it is not a system I want. Do you want an accurate count of votes or is something close to the actual number good enough for you? If even one election is decided wrong that is an entire group of voters who have been disenfranchised and denied their civil rights. Are you ok with violating the civil rights of others so long as the vote comes out your way?
Out of interest are you for the death penalty? -

It does nothing to help or hinder the argument to participate these counter-measures, which is what many who post this study seem to imply without saying it.

(banned) i must be the only one seeing the irony of some attention whore sputtering on about trust when the whore was literally committing a crime when she recorded the conversation of a family member.
the hypocrisy of these leftist pinko commies is hilarious in the way that a wheel-chair bound retard bouncing down a long flight of stairs while trying to shave with a really sharp razor onto railroad tracks with an oncoming freight train is.
The amount of warping and disfiguring that has been done to the democratic political position as a consequence of a deranged need to be against trump on everything is so extreme that at this point I simply hope Trump wins so the democrats will implode a bit faster and reform into a party worth voting for. -

Originally posted by Speedy Parker The economy is rocking during shutdown better than it ever did under Obama. Over 7 million new jobs during May and June.
The debates? Please. Biden can't hardly follow a script yet alone think on his feet.
BLM riots are helping Trump.
You are largely correct.
The recovery for economy is critical for the next few months as well as the handling and narrative around the lock-down that caused the economy to shutter in the first place. Trumps "Reopen America" is a positive narrative vs the democrats "Shut it all down, curtail liberty" in the name of a virus that every day is showing to be less and less dangerous as previously thought.
I'm giving Biden a 25% chance to have an election losing meltdown during the debates. I would not be surprised if the democrats try and cite covid as a reason to have online debates where Biden can cheat and use a teleprompter. Trump has maybe a 2% chance of something awful happening during the debates that sink his re-election. Remember the majority of democrats are not voting for Biden because they like him, but rather because he is their only option. It won't take much to push voters into either not showing up or switching for team Trump.
The BLM riots as you say are helping Trump. The longer they go on and more crime skyrockets the better for him. The state of democrat run cities in america is disgusting and is a major attack vector for Trump. -

Originally posted by Speedy Parker The democrats are making the exact same mistakes with different faces. Their only message is Trump sucks. They can't and won't win.
More and more pieces are falling into place, but it is not settled yet. Trump has the foundation to secure a high likelihood of re-election but I'm not confident yet to declare it either way.
The three things that are going to be critical until the election:
The state of the economy.
The presidential debates.
The BLM riots. -
2020-08-23 at 2:53 PM UTC in President Trump’s sister says he has ‘no principles’ and ‘you can’t trust him’It is foolish I think to sit here and claim that Trump will surely win in November. Trump supporters run the risk of doing what the democrats did in 2016, and what some people in this thread are doing - acting as if they have already won.
Trump has anywhere between 40-65% chance of re-election, anything outside those bounds is ignorance and wishful thinking.
This election is not settled and it could go either way.
One thing we learned from 2016 is democrats handle loss a lot worse than republicans lol. Not a surprising thing considering so much of their rhetoric is centred around moral ground-standing and ethical elitism. -

Originally posted by Nil passionate about infrastructure and efficiency.
I've noticed a lot of people talk about infrastructure as a political goal or policy point but beyond saying "fix our infrastructure" most people have relatively little knowledge on what is an unbelievably complex issue.
Passion is an emotion that is a lot easier to direct when you can funnel it into the discrimination and hatred of another group. Sometimes that group is the jedis, sometimes its blacks/whites etc. -

Originally posted by Sudo Imagine being such a dumb faggot that you call yourself a libertarian and support police
Libertarianism and supporting the state monopoly on violence through both a standing military and policing force are not mutually exclusive.
Maybe it is american education that associates libertarianism with the blind pursuit of freedom while curtailing the ability of others to inhibit that freedom at all costs. That is rarely the case. Many schools of thought of the libertarian nature put (sometimes) sensible limits on the maximal amount of freedom a person should have under a functional social contract.
I don't identify as one btw. -

2020-08-23 at 12:08 AM UTC in Joe Biden plagiarizes a Canadian politicianEvery presidential candidate for as long back as I can remember has been accused of plagiarising the speech of others. I feel like this may say something about how politicians communicate with the electorate.
But hey, we got trump now and while he's only sometimes coherent, when he's done enough coke and on-ball he does some damn good speeches. His Mt. Rushmore one was sick.

I literally cannot bring myself to watch Biden in more than 30 second clips if that. Sleepy Joe is a thing for a reason. -
2020-08-23 at 12 AM UTC in zekpost #684358I agree^ to put it in my own words:
Meaning I think is perhaps the wrong to use. Anyone can subjectively assign meaning, or objectively declare it from an evolutionary psychology point of view. But for a human to be content and maximise the potential for happiness they need more than meaning, they need a purpose.
In this context I'm talking of a purpose as a relatively challenging medium term to long term goal or aspiration that does not give quick doses of feel-good emotions (like games or casual sex). Humans need to experience what it is like to work towards something, to build something over a long period of time where the pay-off is only at the very end. A task that requires discipline and then rewards the individual for their consistence obedience to a self-imposed schedule.
To clarify, in my first post on this thread I said:

2020-08-22 at 11:52 PM UTC in FactorioLooks like I've committed to throwing way another few weeks of my life on another run.
The current factory is about 50 joint man hours between me and a few friends, plus 10 hours I've put in by myself.
We are playing on a deathworld with a full bobs mods set, including some quality of life extras.
In the following images you can see the three major expansions the base has undertaken. In the center is the bootstrap starter base, and in the large space on the right is the start of a proper factory with a mainbus.
The factory is well defended with reinforced walls, repair turrets and sniper turrets 2 or 3 deep:
This save is a full bobs run so there are many variations of biters plus giant -> titan -> leviathan biters. Evolution is a 88% so we only have a few more hours until leviathans start spawning. I am unsure if we can withstand the assault if they attack on mass.
We are attempting to launch a rocket without using laser turrets.
We are using a logistic train network to on-demand get resources from our mining outpost and unload them at the top of the new base:
The trained in resources are smelted immediately with this large array. We have many more types to bring in and space to fill. Currently we are smelting (left to right) Steel, Iron, Copper, Stone, Tin and Lead. Bronze is being done on the main bus.
Here is the start of the main bus, you can see the smelted plates coming down from the furnaces above.
On the left we have some greenhouses making some much needed wood for the base.
Factorio is a good game. Who else plays? -
