I would really appreciate it if you found the time to edit this post and expand a bit more on your general thesis here.

The presidency needs to be reframed. It's not some position of ultimate power. Presidents have far less control than the general public thinks, or the media would have you believe.

To get anything lasting done you need all three branches working together and with this court, and congress....

I don't think winning you over was their goal.

could try a flask webapp


from flask import Flask, send_from_directory
import os

app = Flask(__name__)

# Specify the directory you want to share
SHARED_DIRECTORY = 'shared_files'

@app.route('/files/<path:filename>', methods=['GET'])
def get_file(filename):
    """Serve a file from the shared directory."""
    try:
        return send_from_directory(SHARED_DIRECTORY, filename)
    except FileNotFoundError:
        return "File not found", 404

@app.route('/')
def list_files():
    """List files in the shared directory."""
    files = os.listdir(SHARED_DIRECTORY)
    files_list = '\n'.join(files)
    return f"<h1>Files in {SHARED_DIRECTORY}</h1><pre>{files_list}</pre>"

if __name__ == '__main__':
    app.run(host='0.0.0.0', port=5000)

Say it with me

Pack the fucking court

We've done it before, we can do it again.

2016 was dire, but Nate Silver is often wrong. Polling as it is done today is unreliable at best, and outright lies at worst.

Vote locally, build support networks and hopefully we can weather whatever comes.

There's too much debris up there to do what you propose. The ISS would just be another nucleation point for more debris. We have TBs of data from the ISS and that's where preservation efforts are being focused.

What ever happened to that Swiss space junk net? I feel like we could just go around and hoover up all the Russian satellites they seem to be using for target practice.

This isn't about immediately filtered content, like the disgusting DuffMan George Floyd meme, or Holocaust denial. That's pretty well kept in check by mod tools. I'm also not talking about cogent or even pointed political discussion.

I'm not even talking about necessarily in this community directly, however in a lot of other spaces I've noticed a lot of accounts using divisive language and terms like "The ineffectual left" "single issue voters" "ignorant right wing morons". Lots of straw man arguments, lots of willful ignorance.

I'm not a centrist, I'm very very very far left however I know well enough not to patently dismiss the talking points of others, outside of course calls to genocide. I know what dog whistles sound like, and I'm hearing a lot of them lately.

Most egregiously I'm seeing very long form post replies that read very much like what is generated from LLMs.

So I guess my question is, how're we all fairing with what might be the largest Turing test ever?
