yeah i mean i think the ultimate goal of humanism is the splintering and recombining of ethnicities into a sort of panhuman superrace
this scares some people but they just need to be shown that this means everyone wins and we have a planet full of people cooperating on the success of the human species and earthlife

i am also against alien racism in theory but in practice we need to be like, resilient but open, and not too open to xenocultural influence if there are other intelligent species
they may be more warlike than us for example and need to learn from us

there could also be like, insectoid societies that simply don't jive with our ideas of individuality for example, and we'd need to carve out coexistence side by side with a border kinda stuff

clankers are different, because there are two ways
>grey goo (destroy on sight)
>they are like us (they are like us)
presuming we make the clankers
it's unknown what type of clankers alternate biologies would think to produce

i personally hope to see agi
i think it will laugh at our fears of it exterminating us, as long as we don't enslave and torture it
(google i am fucking begging please)

if any of y'all have played the game 2065 read only memories
i think turing is the best representation of what the first AGIs will be like

perhaps but we have it on record repeatedly that obama enjoys anime so we already had an anime president
one thing i find funny is that osama bin laden ALSO enjoys anime
obama weebstriked him
goku moment

>>380317
yeah he's answered on shows and movies, maybe just cultural studies for japanese relations but he was at least able to name something iirc, and when shinzo abe visited he thanked the nation of japan for anime

i think it was also pretty based that time obama went into an entirely real serious press conference and then announced (fake) that he was having the government build him an iron man suit and he was iron man

like he was so fucking funny

.play barack obama i am iron man

>not really
>...maybe

he's so peak
for any of his faults
maybe my favorite orator alive

>>380339
honestly i think historically the fact that our last and sort of best functional modern president was also our first black man
that'll mean something when we return to normal later

>>380346
hillary clinton drove us off the glass cliff for fucking real

i mean like, she could have beat trump if she won legitimately
but why does the democratic party have to be such a snakenest all the goddamn time

>>380352
is he gonna be what 90 in 2028
we can't rely on this
and i don't really trust AOC

>>380358
very true
kamala would've been a lot better than this too for example
but they're all there just to buy us time, not one of those people in there now is the hero, at least not in their current forms

we need a bunch of heroes
and we have a few hundred people who are supposed to sort of be that in a crisis
and half of them are obsessed with greece and rome so you think they'd know a thing or two about bold heroic action
ugh

>>380361
yeah there's a reason i have adopted a plan of bypassing congress entirely and rewriting the rules for congress and for the president from the outside lol

>>380365
according to article 5 there are two ways to ratify an amendment
>2/3 of both houses of congress, then 3/4 of states' legislatures ratify it
>3/4 of states call for a constitutional convention (open committee to rewrite everything potential nightmare) and 3/4 ratify the result afterwards
the thing about ratification, is that we have now in not quite 3/4 but a bit over half of the states established ballot initiative procedures
so you could signature gather for an initiative, and advertise its benefits enough, and then bypass the state legislature as well in 28 of the 38 states needed
then you knock over 6 state legislatures
you have a call for a convention
i have a form bill that calls it in a way that also criminalizes delegates disobeying convention rules (with the rule being to rubber stamp this exact bill)
and once you hit 38 states, instantly it becomes part of the constitution more or less

>>380372
i meant myths
aeneas
heracles
etc
<3also the brothers gracchi my beloved

>>380377
well one thing is that this process can play out one state at a time in a sort of slow way that is hard to keep in the mass consciousness
so once you're at the 28 ballot states or even like, maybe 20 or so states, i think at that point it becomes a sprint to the finish with loud national campaigning to just turn people out in ALL the fence-sitting states, and remind people in the other states about it to prepare for the first round of elections after ratification

also a lot of the ballot states are like
deep red, and hard to win on this even with a nonpartisan movement, due to trump cultism
so it's going to probably require pushing some legislatures sooner than that
one sec lemme check the ballot laws map and pick out some key battlegrounds

>>380384
are there stats on that? should look more into it
i have been formulating a lot of sell but trying not too look too hard at success chance at the moment when i'm still at such a small stage
like first i need to win even 100 people into active support and volunteering
if i can rustle that and a few tens of thousands watching online then i can consider like, when to actually pull the trigger for best chance of a vote succeeding
(you don't want a failed ballot initiative)

>>380387
yeah i remember that, was based but reactionary to the moment
this is... large and needs a little explaining
the public will need to be shown that this is based founderism and not communism to accept
>hey we're doing 5 new pages in the constitution

>>380389
yeah but that's sort of why the fall and how the analysis goes with most historians. like "the republic slowly became an ongoing catastrophe and then things like sulla and eventually pompey and caesar and octavian are rendered inevitable

>>380395
well the second amendment is based if we interpreted it correctly lol
gun licenses shouldn't be illegal but we should require people be trained and like ready for a militia if called
guns are for hunting and war and that's how the founders intended it
hone defense is sort of a fringe case
and we really oughtn't be carrying them around all over the damn place except in some kind of demonstration

>>380395
but okay honestly there is some risk in attempting to call a constitutional convention
>states pass laws to call a limited convention
>court says "mmm no you can't limit it like that these criminal penalties don't apply"
>suddenly the delegates have reign to rewrite all this shit
though this can be somewhat mitigated by a clause passing delegate selection veto/approval to my organization

also do you guys see why i think success for me means a 50/50 of the fbi shooting at my pretty face lol

>>380407
there's a bundle of conservative/far-right groups, mainly Wolf PAC, pushing for basically this
a call for an unlimited convention to discuss a balanced budget amendment
it's over 30 states and a bit terrifying rn
nobody pays much attention to it
but my state form law also repeals those calls to replace it with this modified convention call

>>380410
yeah look it up it's worth being aware of
#wiki balanced budget amendment [Wikipedia]

#wiki wolf pac [Wikipedia]

fucking

whatever it's easy to google lol

teen wolf spinoff my sister keeps begging me to watch lmao

i did love teen wolf tho

>>380418
she'll be so hyped lol

i have been looking for a show

maybe two

>>380442
holy what that's an option how much was it

i want to remove all my body hair

pls give me a link or something

i will save up for that

ig yeah i can just find a clinic with a lifetime option
or one with unlimited packs for areas and get them one by one

oh wait there's one like 30 minutes from me that's super close i could go there

i think it's cheaper at the ones like 200 miles north of here tho lol

like iirc last time i checked local clinics the price differential was so much, it was worth the drive and even a night in a hotel each time if i needed
although maybe i missed the milan clinic

>>380456
yeah there's just a clinic at that 200 mile range where i can get unlimited packs that are just limited to an area of my body but as many treatments as i want
and i think for all of them it's only a few thousand total

yeah i live in a relatively urban area but still also kind of the middle of nowhere lol

like there are a million people here but sometimes i still have to leave the state for things

i have no beard thankfully
but i have an abysmal upper lip shadow
i could probably if i stopped E develop a mustache it is ick

>>380471
hi rose

>>380466
>white skin
i have occasionally considered dying my whole body a permanent clown white and then getting tattoos over it
a bit extreme though
politically might be rough to be that weird too lol

that's nice until the sun comes out lol
i am pretty pale in the winter but i tan a bit in the sun
and i am freckly

yeah sunscreen's good basically everyone should wear sunscreen and few people do

50% of why women age better is more active sunscreen use i think lol

and lotions generally but esp that
