Slut for type systems

I wish I was a stress cleaner. Never once has my response to stress been “time to employ some good habits”

it's difficult, but is it as difficult as fairly cutting a cake

I had a dream that I started seeing posts on tumblr about the "the pool water update." It was some new change to the site, being rolled out gradually, that people mostly didn't like.

When I got the pool water update, it turned out that when you opened up tumblr it would fill the room you were in with chlorinated water, up to the level of half an inch below your power outlets.

So to use tumblr you had to hold still, because too much movement would cause ripples that would rise to the outlets and electrify the water and kill you.

I had mixed feelings about the update. I got some pool noodles and it was nice to float around my bedroom whenever I checked tumblr. There was a trend called 'tranquilityposting' that I enjoyed. So not all bad.

There were a lot of blaze posts on dream-tumblr selling amulets that nullify electricity damage. Also, @max1461 claimed to have developed a 'posting technique that causes uncontrollable thrashing in 60% of tumblr users,' and was demanding a cash ransom to not use it

I mean, of course you don't get to pass major welfare spending programs AND a total reorientation of the industrial economy AND changes to voting systems explicitly intended to nerf one party and buff the other with a bare 50-vote+VP nominal Senate majority, even in parliamentary systems with absolute voting whip loyalty there are feedback mechanisms that prevent that

seems like you nerf the opposition first, if anything

Yeah, I thought the plan should be year 1 pass emergency COVID measures, then do democracy protection stuff (voting rights, anti-gerrymandering, PR statehood) and year 2 every popular policy you can think of (including marijuana legalization and minimum wage increases). People’s memories are short so you want to do the popular stuff right before the election. If the democracy protection stuff goes well and the popular stuff is more popular than any party’s governing agenda has ever been, then the Democrats would be able to eke out a narrow majority in the next Congress. That’s roughly how tilted the playing field is against them. Since they’re not doing any of that and just passing regular policies, there’s no chance basically. 

So I don’t think I’ve properly introduced my fursona here yet. This is Delta! I mostly like to dress her up and send her places I’d rather be atm 😌

THE ONION OUT OF FUCKING NOWHERE

the lesson I'm taking away from this election is not that the Democrats need to become more left wing or more right wing but moreso that they need to find a way to cater their rhetoric towards people who genuinly have no idea what is going on. the target audience for every speech and political appearance should be someone who doesn't know what the three branches of government are because they were drawing a Cool S during high school civics

political scientists have failed to consider the possibility that the silent majority is silent because they didn't understand the question and are trying to play it cool
