Indeed. I do believe that the key to better health is actionable information and a gameplan for how to maintain health. But with the Shitgibbon in office, and his merry band of miscreants running the show, I can’t determine if my smartwatch will give me good readings or not, and ensure that only I get to access that data, unless I explicitly choose to let someone else access it.

100% gamer chick too. I’m lucky to have her, and even as we check out girls together, I just look, because I know I have a good girl at home. :)

Thanks for these. They don’t make it clear that Canada is a valid destination for LGBTQ+ folks to seek asylum from, but they do indicate that there is discussion in Canada. Have to see how the referenced cases go, though.

My google-fu hasn’t up to this point. In fact, I get lots of results saying that Americans are not welcome as asylum seekers in my googling. Your single link only shows places that take American immigrants, not places welcoming American refugees. In fact, New Zealand is suffering from a Conservative-inflicted recession that is making things difficult for immigrants and natives alike, and Australia has some serious restrictions on immigrants (a close friend of mine did that route and barely made the cut). And Canada? Despite a victory for the Liberal Party and ‘elbows up’ regarding American rhetoric, they still have lots of people angry about how immigration has been handled.

If you actually have links to help get victimised people out of the USA, maybe instead of ‘why don’t u google it urself’, maybe post those links. That’s FAR more helpful than the whole ‘go do it urself!’ response. :)

Or do something they don’t agree with. Like marrying a Black bisexual pagan woman.

Links, please? I haven’t seen anything suggesting that, yet.

I’m probably OK. I’m straight. I’m White. Though I am agnostic and don’t buy the State Religion behind Project 2025.

My wife, however, is Black, Bisexual, and Pagan, four strikes, and now I’m a race traitor for having married her, so there’s my strike.

My message to Garcia?

Yes. Yes you did, you stupid cow. This is exactly what you voted for, Garcia. Lock, stock, and barrel. You are a fucking moron and now, only as the leopard eats YOUR face, do you realise how stupid you were.

You voted for this. 100%. Now fuck off and take it while we try to reverse the slide into authoritarianism you voted for. Maybe next time you won’t be so fucking stupid!

Stupid is as stupid does.

So…how close are we to that point where other countries open their doors to us under asylum laws? I mean, Trump’s siccing the military on people and it’s not even 6 months into his term yet.

Indeed. I stand by my original comments saying that this is a huge distraction. partial_accumen is here to proclaim loudly to the world that I’m TALKING TOO MUCH ABOUT HOW TRUMP IS PULLING A FAST ONE, and meanwhile, what’s Trump doing? Nationalising the National Guard to implement martial law in blue cities that don’t appreciate his bullshit.

Like I said. The Musk bullshit was entertainment, designed to distract us from what’s really going on – the imposition of Project 2025. The eradication of our civil liberties. Sending the military against those of us that dare stand up to Hair Fuehrer. The establishment of a right-wing dictatorship. Thread after thread after thread is coverage of the Trump-Musk bullshit distraction event. And rather than make that the central part of his complaint, ol’ partial_accumen decides the better idea is to get me to shut up about the distractification going on here. Seriously, that’s the thing he’s worried about?

And no one is stopping you from moving on to other comments you agree with, but here we are.

What happens to the data Musk took? I guarantee you it’s already being sliced and diced by the powers that be that have put on this show for us. Before you get your hope up that things are gonna change, I want to give you a quote from Macbeth for you to remember.

“It is a tale told by an idiot. Full of sound and fury, signifying nothing.”

We’re just being kept ‘entertained’ so they can get on with the business of robbing us blind and making us fight each other.

And that’s what they want you to think. They want you to underestimate them and focus on the public shitshow, while they quietly implement Project 2025 while you’re distracted by the slapfest they’re putting on for you in public.

As I said above. They’re a bunch of conniving bastards, and until I start seeing real things like Elon explaining exactly how Clark County in Nevada was stolen from the Left, or Trump actually cancel SpaceX contracts, or Musk abducted by ICE agents and sent to El Salvadore, I’m going to continue thinking this is all a WWE plot designed to distract us from the shitshow going on behind the scenes.

Indeed. Trump IS an Entertainer and has been in the showbiz industry for quite some time, so it wouldn’t surprise me that this is all just a show and we’re being taken for a ride. But he is also an egotistical prick so this might actually be for real. I’m just not going to hold my breath or let myself be distracted by this side-show from the shit the Shitgibbon and his merry band of miscreants are pulling out.

Heh, I wouldn’t be interesting to talk to Musk either…or Trump for that matter, so I totally understand!

But until the fur flies and secrets drop, it’s all just a game of fakeout to me.

An easy and non-impactful thing for Trump to do, and it’s not like Trump’s followers would ever get a “Tesler”. Those are filthy EVs and manly men only ever get gas-guzzling Big Trucks ™.

Still not convinced this isn’t theatre for our consumption, but I’d love to see this happen.

Obligatory 🤮 emoji.

Thanks for that mental image. I hate it. 🤣

It’s much the same problem you guys had in the 1920s. Hate is easy. Cruelty is the norm. Humanity, like the chimpanzee we’re closest related to, is a very ‘in-group/out-group’ species. You’re either one of us, or you’re a threat to be beaten down and killed. Hate is easy to stoke, especially when things are tough. And don’t forget – Hitler studied hate-filled regimes world-wide before he put together his authoritarian empire, and one he studied hard was the US Southeast. Abuse of ‘inferior’ people was a way of life for them!

Standing up could get you killed in these not-so-United States, so a lot of us try to keep our heads down and be ‘Good Americans’…

I just want to know what’s going through the head of the lonely single downvoter you have at the time of this post. What sort of horrific mindset would prompt them to vote your comment down. Does this shithead think that this ISN’T a case of a baby being gestated in the body of his/her dead mother? Or does this shithead think that gestating babies in the corpses of dead mothers kept alive by technology at great expense is a good thing?

What an awful person, this downvoter.

I see these plans, and I see disturbing parallels to the fictional setting of Night City in Cyberpunk. For those not aware:

Night City was founded as an attempt to bypass the inefficiencies its founder perceived in centralised government in the United States of the Cyberpunk world. Free of governance by the central US authority, and indeed independent of the two Californias it sat on the borders of, it was a hellscape of corporate governance with rampant homelessness, a ruthless economy, brutal crime, a police force that unapologetically serves the rich and powerful, and corporate armies that regularly shake down subjects of this so-called ‘free city’.

Considering Grimes’ particularly important role in the Cyberpunk 2077 video game, and of course Musk’s appreciation for nerdy fiction, I think there’s a 0% chance that Musk is unaware of Night City. Thus, the similarities to his idea of a free city to the fictional Night City can’t possibly be coincidental – he WANTS to make a world where he can sit at the top of his ivory tower while his goons rough up people like you and me in the dirty streets below. I don’t want to live in that city, though.
