Let's create an AI to call them and keep reporting the person pushing the bill. And calling them assholes.

topics deemed to be “political ideology” in schools

Don’t you dare pledge allegiance! Don’t you dare play the anthem! Don’t you dare promote capitalism!

I still very clearly remember reading Harrison Bergeron in school and having some idiot school teacher act like "that's that socialism kids!"

How the hell is that socialism? A reference to income based taxation? If anything, following the big scary Soviet and PRC model, they'd have pumped Harrison full of roids and told him to rip a capitalist pig dog in half for his landing.

And, of course, Vonnegut agrees it isn't about socialism, no matter what American school teachers have been ordered to teach.

And then what, send them to re-education camps?

Isn't this the same kind of thing some people get upset at China over?

Wtf.

Well yeah but it's okay when Republicans do it because Murica.

There's no louder way to telegraph that you are in the closet except by creating an anti-LGBTQ hotline. This is going to be the new Grindr.

...It's entirely possible for straight people to be homophobic. In fact it's shown time and time again

[–] [email protected] 12 points 9 months ago

Yeah but it’s fun to think about and given no other information in such a vacuum, I’m going to concoct some amazing theories. Fuck em.

As someone who figured out my gender using calculus (mapped dysphoria over time and found the derivative. Yes that is way too much work) I may have to do a troll

[–] [email protected] 10 points 9 months ago

That's actually incredible finding out your gender with calculus lol what an awesome way to find out lmao

Wow, in Doctor Who back in the 70s he runs in a classmate from Galifrey who calls him ( an equation) abbreviated as "Theet Sigma".

I like the idea that there was something about the doctor that they didn't understand about themselves and had to do the math. Not sure if that would make the equation part of the question or answer but it's interesting.

Thank you, hope you're on a lovely path.

[–] [email protected] 16 points 9 months ago (1 children)

Thanks, it was definitely a strange experience but learning calculus gave me new frames of reference to think of all sorts of problems and that was one of my major problems at the time. It’s part of why I think that math and science are just as important as the humanities for well roundedness even if you’ll never use them. They teach you to think differently just like history and literature do.

And yeah it was fuck 9 years ago now. I transitioned shortly after and am now at the point I spent so long hoping to get to where it’s all in my past.

In making the announcement on the Tony Kinnett show, livestreamed on YouTube, Rokita stated that investigators would pore over submissions and post any they believed to be credible onto a publicly viewable database.

In other words, they're not going to act on the ones that don't align with their own political ideology.

If you want to generate some random shit for the comments:

  • For email: https://maildrop.cc/
  • For address: 200 W. Washington St. Indianapolis 46204
  • For text: If you use linux: head --lines=99 /dev/urandom > random.txt then copy and paste. Or just use copypasta

/dev/urandom can be filtered by a machine (entrophy), this should at least pass the entrophy test.

Can someone try to "Little Bobby Tables" them? Just put some SQL injection shit to make the servers more of a dumpster fire?

[–] [email protected] 68 points 9 months ago (2 children)

I've worked with a bunch of government agencies and the chances of a SQL injection are low. Not because they're good, but because they'll use some kind of framework to speed up development which will have injection prevention baked in.

I imagine sending memes is not illegal, SQL injection attacks might be.

[–] [email protected] 54 points 9 months ago

And targeting a group of people is unconstitutional, fuck the laws that harm the citizens and protect the state.

[–] [email protected] 24 points 9 months ago

But what if a meme just happens to be a SQL injection?
