AI transcription might not be 100%, but it’s better than captioning long form shows myself or sending it to Rev.

I use a local instance of deepseek in the rare instance I need to have something written with a specific tone or style. I also tend to create a terrible work relationship for myself because I was a huge people pleaser and this has helped make my emails a bit more confident when necessary, especially when I have to advocate for myself. I am getting better at doing this on my own though.

I feel like we would know before any story broke.

I feel like this might get a bit of use here, so I added the dingle

It was until this comment (specifically about a jeans commercial) that I thought “maybe I’m thinking of the wrong actress” because I was imagining Tilda Swinton modeling jeans and that seemed a little strange.

Other causes of death would likely look less like spiderwebs since it's just a population density map by counties, but this one is specifically along roadways. The interesting difference between a population density map and this map specifically is you can see the long stretches of roads in the middle of nowhere and how dangerous they can be.

I agree. The “bent left elbow upwards” move makes sense as an option if you are in a car and don’t have a 10’ right arm to reach out of the passenger window to point right, but that limitation isn’t the same on a bike. I’m never braking the same time I’m signaling on my bike anyway- I signal way before.

Though at least my state handbook’s section on cycling says that pointing right is also an option one could use (after explaining the bent left elbow signal).

Just because you can’t imagine getting off your ass and building a better world doesn’t mean that everyone else shares your love for learned incompetence and your defense of fascists.

I see you didn't even manage to get that lever pulled last election because genocide isn't very popular regardless of your cheerleading. Pulling the lever would've never stopped the genocide, but derailing the train would have. You didn't want genocide to end, you just wanted to go back to brunch.

You know, at least back when Lincoln was president, voters at least had a spine to do something about issues they were ethically against. They were willing to completely abandon the Whig party to back the new republican party (which killed the Whig party). This isn't a fundamental change to the system, but even still it is farther than you'd be willing to go to prevent genocide. Perhaps what leftists need is for people like you to be less chickenshit genocidal white supremacist sellouts who hem and haw about the correct way to do genocide to prevent as much blowback to yourselves as possible as you live in the luxury that has been paid in the blood of the global south.

Or maybe ask me which state my "lever" was in and realize how futile your argument is for the majority of states and the majority of the population. Even if we had universal popular vote to determine president, as you seem to assume, that doesn't remove the fact that the two choices were both supporters of genocide and the train deserves to be derailed and the track destroyed.

there is no option for a magical third choice.

There's no lever you can pull as a third choice because the lever only operates inside the bounds of the "system" of the rail network. It's working as designed. So break the rails if it is an inevitability that people get tied to the tracks.

The system is just as immutable as the divine right of kings. Choosing to campaign on lever pulls within the system instead of focusing on systemic restructuring tells me a couple of things: 1) You aren't tied to both sides of the track. 2) You're fine with giving validity to a system that bakes genocide into itself because your comfort relies on someone being tied to the both tracks, and at the moment, that isn't you.

Refusing to pull the lever doesn't prevent you from working outside the bounds of the rail network. It might be worth considering that instead of the belief in slowly changing the democrats with slow constant pressure, the system is changing you to be more accepting of the unacceptable.
