Either Delaware has a population density to rival Kowloon Walled City, or this is a bit more than a "land votes" take

I'm at a point where I don't remember where I put things, I just know myself well enough to guess where I would put them

Yeah but we didn't end up on the one with giant alien spiders, thank god

That's technology, innovate a difference

A feat of engineering, a system made efficient

There isn't a condition, complication, or a vision

Yeah purple was a stretch and a half. I wouldn't find the connection if you gave me a million years

you think Harris/Biden would have meant less genocide.

...than trump. Less genocide than Trump. Who is presently committing a genocide against the Latino population in the US.

Wait, did PirateSoftware rant about wokeness, or are you confusing him with fellow failed game dev Grummz?

Homo sapiens are actually heterosexual on average :(

You are pretending Biden/Harris were promising less genocide, which is wishful thinking on your part.

Nope. I feel like we're looking at this from two different perspectives. Comparing 2025 to 2024, there was always going to be more genocide. Comparing the two potential 2025s (the one in which Trump wins and the one in which Harris wins), one of them has more genocide than the other, and one of them has less genocide than the other.

Maybe if I put it this way it'll make more sense: a smaller increase in deaths is preferable to a larger increase in deaths. Of course, a reduction in deaths would be preferable to both, but that option wasn't available.

Republicans are much better at long term thinking than liberals

I don't disagree. Unlike you though, I don't support the Republicans killing us in the short run

"Both options sell weapons to Israel so I'm not going to cast a vote for either of them. Oh no, why is abortion illegal? Why are trans people not allowed to legally update their gender? Why does ICE have a bigger budget than the Marines? Why are they deporting US citizens? Why did they cut the already barebones healthcare we have? Why are they bringing fucking asbestos back? Why is the Secretary of Health and Human Services in favor of spreading bird flu and against vaccines? Why are they actively deciding to give our kids cavities? Why has the Supreme Court decided that the president can violate the constitution? Why have they demolished every scientific institution in the country?"

A red line is saying, "no, fuck this. There are some things you just can't excuse. Both of these people belong in jail. I will not vote for either of them, as neither of these people are going to help. I'm voting for someone else and looking towards the next election."

So it's the "extricating yourself from moral dilemmas" kind of broken. The option you wanted wasn't on the ballot, so the entire world can burn for all you care. I don't want more people dead, and that's EXACTLY THE SAME as wanting all the disabled people and jews dead. I'd call you a clown but you're not even funny

"They all thought they were being good people, and so do you, which makes you evil like them" is such a weird take

Absolutely brutal. Can someone explain the answers?

 

A while back, someone made a post on an AITAH type subreddit, then updated it saying it was generated with AI. Like 3/4 of the comments left after the update were responding to the story as if there wasn't a big bold THIS STORY IS FAKE update at the top. I've been trying to find this post again for weeks, but no variation of "reddit AITAH AI generated post" offers anything useful on any search engines. Am I remembering wrong? Did I dream this up???

UPDATE: Thank you phlegmy for finding the post!

(Enter RADISHN'T, MOTHMAN MISATO, BOIMG FROG and CATS'N RAINCOATS, stage left. They are having a HEATED DISCUSSION.)

RADISHN'T: Prithee, which one of you had planned to tell

Of diff'rent flavours gained by simple act

Of brewing tea with water hot, not cold?

MOTHMAN: Egad! you poured the water cold? Wherefore?!

FROG: An answer from you, Radish, I must beg.

RADISHN'T: Indeed I did, dear friends - why does this shock?

Without the guide of others I assumed

That heat was merely added for the sake

Of expediting this solution's brewing!

Half a decade I have spent, or more,

Not questioning this worldview I had made.

In fact, I am myself a bit surprised

That you might think that I, your dearest friend,

Might have a patience of sufficient stock

To wait until a pot of water boils.

FROG: Three minutes overtaxes patience so?

The microwave will beep when it is done!

CATS'N: My friend, this answer vexes me the more!

Can it be true that thou dost boil by nuke?!

FROG: Are you in turn, my friend, so shocked to know

That I have not the patience, like our Root,

To boil upon the stove our favour'd drink?

CATS'N: It takes less than a minute!

FROG: On what plate?

Perhaps your dinner cooks atop the sun?

CATS'N: How long can take your stove to fill the task

Of boiling but a single cup alone?

FROG: In minutes?

CATS'N: Yes!

FROG: I counted seven, once.

CATS'N: Perhaps you ought to have your timepiece checked!

If on a middle heat you place the cup

You soon will have the scalding drink you crave.

Two minutes, in a mug upon the plate

Or even less, if you should have a pot.

FROG: You cause me tears - is this how thou dost live?

You place upon the iron stove a mug?

A mug, ceramic, filled with water cold?

How do these flames, though medium in height,

Not shatter like a glass this fragile thing?

Surely, then, your kitchen is bewitched

With magicks far beyond the mortal ken!

(The FOUR realise they have wandered into the THRONE ROOM. The ROYAL COURT watches with fascination.)

KING: Ev'ry single person in this group

must be a fucking lunatic, it seems.
