Sometime in the past I must have accidentally switched into the stupid dimension, how else can this amount of idiots in politics be explained
I think the simulation ended on December 21, 2012.
We're in the "one more turn" phase and they're just screwing with the sim.
That or the system is trying to wake us all up from hyper-sleep by throwing increasingly impossible scenarios at us in order for our brains to wake up naturally.
Except we keep looking at everything and going, “yeah, that makes sense, fuck it” and just not waking up.
The machines are going mad trying to figure us out.
We did. The mass Hardon Collider was built for a reason, technically in this case 2.
Yep, threw us into the 'most unlikely' universe because everything was supposed to be destroyed except for the active observer, e.g., you, because paradox.
Or at least that is the version I like to believe.
Or, this is our best universe and the rest just get even shittier. That’s my rainbow and unicorn fantasy / no kink shaming pls.
Or, what if hell is simply consciousness during all the shitty outcomes: the teacher runs out candy when it’s your turn, the bus drives off just when you show up, etc.
It would mean as we approach the hellspawn timeline, each one of us made it into the angel timeline too.
Odds are very high we only have one universe because multiple dimensions can be reduced via transformation, but it is progressively more difficult to transform from a lower dimension to a higher dimension: that straight 2d line is probably a straight 2d line in 3d and 4d space.
Also le boobies in class were always fun I am not sure what the hubbub is all about.
They're in politics as a sock puppet to serve other wealthy people's interests not because they have great ideas for improving the lives and wellbeing of people.
If you killed political donations, cushy job prospects post politics and the crazy idea that corporations are somehow people deserving of representation it might go a long way to purging these cookers from the system.
How do we keep voting these people in?
I don't know if you want an actual answer but this particular idiot's opponent was a millionaire whose entire campaign strategy was spamming people with mail pointing out he is not Boebert...so vote for him on that merit? He couldn't even make any statements on how he would help voters of this district or take a stand on any issues. He's running again so we'll see if he has learned anything.
This area (like so many around the country) is struggling. Outside of the die-hard Republicans who are a lost cause, people don't appreciate a rich outsider talking down to them. The frustrating part is during the Democratic primary there was another candidate who had a great, progressive platform that included healthcare, taxing the rich, environment, etc. He came in last 😭 So Democrats chose the status quo, and their candidate struggled to get people excited to vote FOR him rather than AGAINST Boebert.
I think this is a problem that plagues the Democrats on a national level and isn't a direct reflection of "stupid" rural voters.
I know they won't read this comment, but I'd really love to hear from the people who down vote! What do you disagree with? I've lived all over the U.S. and even overseas, but I haven't been everywhere in the world so the great thing about a board like this is people with different experiences can share them. I can speak to my own observations but if I'm missing something please tell me!

My theory is that the internet makes people dumber.
