Take em all off all the ballots.

I'd like to cast my vote for Chat GPT, but, like one of the significantly older, more janky versions. Hell, SmarterChild for President!

Can I vote for a sentient cloud of methane being released by already thawing permafrost?

[-] thefartographer@lemm.ee 32 points 1 year ago

No. That's actually likely to happen. Quit putting shit like that out in the universe.

Are you saying that I can manifest my ideal gaseous leader by thinking about it?

Or were you unaware that last year in Alaska and BC, rivers were running a yellow color indicating the permafrost was already starting to melt?

...

Or is this all a setup for a fart joke, Mr or Ms or Mz fartographer?

[-] thefartographer@lemm.ee 12 points 1 year ago

No need to be so formal, you can use my regular title "The."

Unfortunately, I'm all too aware of the horrible gasses, bacteria, and viruses in the permafrost that lay juuuuuust dormant enough that we're about one snail's fart away from potential catastrophe. Which is why, once again, I implore you: please do not vote for an uprising of that which lays beneath centuries and millennia of delicate ice. I'd hate to find out that we doomed ourselves via the Santa Claus/Last Unicorn effect.

Well you are in luck!

I am currently homeless, thus I do not have a permanent address, thus I cannot legally vote!

God Bless America.

I'm really sorry to hear that! I hope you get to enjoy a future as bright as you are and fuck these ecocentric policies

Hilariously I am broke and homeless and one of my degrees is in Economics.

You only need to know one quote to summarize the mindset of nearly all Western Economists:

"In the long run, we are all dead anyway."

I remember choosing Iceland as my case study for a school report in 2010 about how various national economies responded to the 08 financial crash.

My professor was quite angry when I pointed out an actual successful real world example of an economy that just told all the banks to go fuck themselves and basically did pretty economically well.

That wasnt possible according to what he was teaching.

I have zero degrees because I realized that college professors were put on this earth to piss me off and then dropped out. And look at me now! I'm friends with a homeless person! But for serious, is there anything internet strangers can do to help?

[-] vexikron@lemmy.zip 1 points 1 year ago

I really do not know.

My credit score is abysmal after my wallet was stolen, and I now have an eviction, and I am living off of SSDI.

I would like to be able to live somewhere with a bed and within walking distance to grocery stores.

So far I have managed to pull of the bed part, had to get halfway across the country to find a motel cheap enough I can basically live in, but its a mile away from a grocery store and even after now about 2 weeks of nothing but resting, my extremely sore and torn ligaments still are not great.

Basically at this point in my life (read through my comment history if you want some more details), I just want to be left alone to try to make my own video game. Just because I love video games amd coding... and as sad as this may sound I feel that is basically all I have left that would really give me any drive in life.

I have many other hobbies amd interests, and I am sure that I could eventually find new friends... but my family and nearly all my old friends are either delusional, manipulative or indifferent to what I have been going through.

I probably just need to rest more. I have been figuring out how to stay alive on my own for a bit more than a year now... and I do not think I can ever really trust anyone ever again, after how many people have taken advantage of me.

that's my best attempt at how I remember cleverbot saying it's own name

I’m voting for Trip and Grace from Façade

[-] Adkml@hexbear.net 21 points 1 year ago

Would be funny to literally not have a candidate on the ballot for either party and libs still insist you have to vote for unspecified faceless candidate a otherwise unspecified faceless candidate b will win.

This reminds me of when wrestling fans sing the praises of history's most dominant wrestler, Vacant.

[-] electric_nan@lemmy.ml 1 points 1 year ago

Thanks, I didn't realize my dog Wavy Gravy had anything to do with that :)
