Wherever I wander I wonder whether I’ll ever find a place to call home…

  • No, the DNC was too intent on taking the high ground and proving that they’re not like maga. They fell into the trap that had been laid. Maga spouts nonsensical accusations, most of which are projection, so that once it comes to light that they’re doing the thing, nobody is willing to accuse them because they already made it sound insane.

    They’ve done this about many things, and it’s unnerving how effective it has been. “Weaponization of government,” “targeted political prosecutions,” etc.

    Now when you call it out they say “You didn’t mind when your side did it.” That’s because the other side wasn’t even doing it to begin with!

    They effectively created the “both sides” -ism, because it obfuscates all the ways in which they’re demonstrably worse.


  • Except this time there’s actually some evidence of tampering worth looking into, and there’s been no investigation. Whereas investigations were conducted last time and there was no evidence.

    Election data was uploaded over starlink, and Elon Musk bragged about winning the election for trump. He also openly paid people to vote republican.

    And there were some weird requirements in some districts for wifi-enabled surge protectors, whatever that was about.

    And Dominion voting machines were bought by a trump sycophant.

    And there were multiple districts in swing states that voted blue down the ballot except for the presidential election.

    All in all, these are anomalies at least worth investigating, especially since some bs claims of fraud warranted investigations in 2020. But no, there was no investigation in 2024.

    So you’re saying “there’s no proof,” but how would there be “proof” if an investigation was never conducted?








  • No, you said whoever came up with the idea was a moron of epic proportions. And your explanation as to why was directly due to the arbitrariness of the prime meridian.

    In geospatial terms, anything to the west of the prime meridian has a longitudinal coordinate of n°W, where 0°<n<180°. Anything east of the prime meridian is likewise n°E. Hence, eastern and western hemispheres.

    Yes, the western hemisphere is to the east of Fiji. No, that doesn’t change anything.

    I shouldn’t have to break it down into such basic terms for such a smartypants as you, so hopefully this doesn’t come as an insult to your intelligence.



  • It just means west of Greenwich, chill out.

    Yes it’s arbitrary, the reasons are more historiographical rather than geographical, but back when the sun never set on the British empire, it seemed as good a line as any to the people making the rules at the time.

    There’s also no geometric reason why we divide days into 24 hours, but the ancient Egyptians did it so we still do. Why is a week 7 days? Why are there 12 months in a year? Why is a centimeter or a kilogram precisely what it is?

    It’s all arbitrary, but that doesn’t make it any less useful as a standardized concept.
