For evangelicals, you can take anything, put a Jesus sticker on it, and they’ll love it.

Bad chicken sandwich, Jesus sticker. Love it! Dog poop, Jesus sticker. Love it! Trump, Jesus sticker. Love it!

Wow, 50/50 split. Bold prediction, Nate!

Nate has been wrapped up in the betting markets, and I’m afraid he’s not the same Nate Silver from 2008.

There are PeerTube servers that allow a certain reasonable amount of content for free.

Obama outperformed the establishment Democratic candidate in 2008 and became the candidate. It’s not impossible.

I think that is reportable violence.

Can you please link to that?

… Until the Supreme Court invents a crazy new precedent that goes against the Constitution.

And they pay for terrible health insurance and health care

No, a better short term goal is to get away from the First Past the Post system. Something like STAR voting. Those third parties would benefit themselves by working towards better voting systems locally.

He was convicted on dozens of counts, and sentencing will occur in late November. A little treat for Thanksgiving.

If true, that might be a campaign finance violation. Any agreement with value to the campaign counts, and must be reported. That’s one of the reasons why the Stormy Daniels thing got him in hot water.

PeerTube is also a Fediverse service, and does the longer form videos, like YouTube. It mostly works fine; it just lacks content.

Four out of the past eleven governors of Illinois did prison time. I think most of those were Democrats.

Side question: What do you use as an RSS reading?

I’m fall 2020, I think I was in a game of LoL with AOC. She famously played Support, but I was paired up as a newbie support paired with an account AOC-ADC. I was not really good and died early. I asked the account if they really were AOC, and they told me to go vote!

She also accused me of intentionally dying, and I told her I wasn’t. I told her I was sorry that I was just bad. We ended up losing, mostly because of me.

So that’s my dumb AOC gaming story.

I might vote for an Eisenhower Republican. 90% tax on the rich to pay for infrastructure and federal work programs? Sign me up.

“The Lord is using him as a vessel to do his good works.”

So, you’re being negative about an alpha release of someone’s hard work without checking it out first?

Obama?

If you were to have this, then there would be no social media. Probably no email, as both sides of the communication would not be allowed to forward it. You would not be able to communicate or post on forums.

It would take computing back to about 1990. The medical industry uses faxes for a reason. They are very secure point to point communication. That’s the sort of security you’re asking for, and it would cripple most communication.

Depending on the type of data and where you live, you can have some of its benefits.

There’s FERPA for student data.

Credit card companies require very strict controls over their data, and how charges are made and encrypted.

I’m Europe there is the GDPR, which grants a right to remove your data from a particular site, among other protections. Some US states have followed with lesser versions, like California, Colorado, and Virginia.

I don’t think you want HIPAA-level data protections over normal data, because it’s a passion in the ass to have that level of restrictiveness over mere ordinary data. It costs a lot to protect it - you’d need documented written permissions on every aspect of your data.
