It Was Them

Oh Jesus Christ. You foist on us — once again — an incredibly weak candidate, a senile barely-coherent ancient doddering lady-sniffer, and then blame the voters for not getting excited about such a weak offering.

I mean, Biden is likely to just barely squeak out a narrow win in the face of an historically-unpopular president in a pandemic during a de facto depression. I don’t think it’s the voters who are to blame here, really.

“I love science” and “believe science” are clueless takes, just incoherent philosophies. I don’t love science or believe it or disbelieve it. I believe what the evidence says, recognizing that anything in that realm can be stamped by politics and bias, is often beset with poorly-gathered or misunderstood data, and is then further leveraged in inappropriate ways by the power- and money-motivated.

Nevertheless, science does advance and we achieve greater understanding of the universe. However, what we do with elections and polling has little to do with science or even statistics (which is more truly a philosophy with numbers). It’s more akin to astrology with semi-causal feedback loops.

Love science? Believe science? No. I believe in evidence and the weight of wisdom over time.

Mailing It In

It’s not fairly fucking simple to set up your own email server, you fucking dipshit. That is outside of the skill set of 99.999% of people. As it should be!

I once was an expert on email servers (particularly Microsoft Exchange) and it’s not at all easy — and it’s only gotten more difficult as security is emphasized more now. I recently set up an email server for my own use and it took me two days and much googling. And I have 20 years of professional IT experience and 40 years of using computers.

Easy to set up an email server. Ha!

Yes, she’s a horrible cop and a terrible person in general. Biden is no better, which is why he picked her. They think the same way. Both atrocious, she’s just younger and can do more damage in the future.

Left Front

Don’t know who is going to win the election, but I do think Sanders would’ve won in a landslide, and I think Liz Warren would’ve won easily though not with as large a victory.

The Dems don’t really care about winning, though. Oh, they are fine if it happens. But what they truly care about is squelching the left.
