I genuinely believe this was his way of getting involved in a “lower stakes” election, performing the same bribery as he did in the federal election, normalizing it, and using the Democrats victory as “proof” that he couldn’t have cheated the federal election.

That’s awesome. I like that it actually benefits the employees and is reasonably cost effective, while also being marketable as an efficiency tool. Plus, the design is way cool.

Sidewinder? I barely know 'er!

That sounds like a wonderful, helpful job that makes so many lives easier. Their gratitude certainly comes from a genuine place, I’m sure.

I’ve been toying with the ideas of existentialism (with a touch of absurdism) in my hard-fought battle against nihilism.

I’ve finally found some peace in the following:

• The universe has no divine plan for us or our purpose
• It is up to us to determine what gives our life meaning

And in thinking of this, I came to the following core aspirations of my existence (in no exact order):

• Knowledge
• Joy
• Love
• Activism

I do believe, as you said, that curiosity is a fundamental and uniting facet of humanity. It is truly remarkable what we can achieve, especially with the vast wealth of information at our fingertips. I have finally gotten back to making time for tinkering (both physically and philosophically).

I feel like I am rediscovering parts of myself that had disappeared into the void of monotony. Thank you for sharing your joy and curiosity. Your science fiction universe sounds wonderful. The fact that one mind can create such a thing is a wonder, in and of itself.

• Doing things for the humans I love
• Learning new thing
• Designing things
• Playing video games with my friends
• Making art and music
• Seeing other like-minded people come together to fight for what we believe in

Yeah I’m really confused why people keep saying it’s the same thing. It’s not, aside from being over-the-air at some point in the transmission.

Except for the non-broadcast transmission, storage methods, modulation, data rates, error correction, frequencies used, protocols, antennas, infrastructure, etc…

Like it’s not the same except for being “over the air”.

Boomers these days 🤦🏻‍♀️

• Gen Z

Edit: Looks like he didn’t like the taste of his own ageism.

I admire it but also…wtf lol

I also got West Virginia or Maryland vibes. Maybe PA
