@thickurt I require a neither because the Werewolves are not Werewolf enough. Like, did none of these people watch Underworld. Now THOSE are Werewolves.

@thickurt my middle name is Jacob. So ….

@thickurt
I'm Team Bella's dad. 😅

@thickurt They're both shitty people in their own way, but I like werewolves better than vampires.

@thickurt
Everything about Edward makes my skin crawl -except- him being a vampire. I kept wanting to tell at bella for the love of jebus get some agency.

Jacob is whatever but at least not a walking red flag with red sparklers and a little card he has to read the neighbors.

@thickurt Used to be team Jacob, but after rewatching the first movie with some friends a couple years ago, I'm team "Bella should take some time off from dating and maybe try some hobbies or something."

You probably know already, but the amps can be 1 or more and the power adapter will still work fine as long as the voltage and connector match. So a 1.5 amp or a 2 amp power adapter will work fine, but a 0.5 amp adapter won't.

@SeanCasten What can I do at the local level to support Congressional opposition and legal action? I am horrified to wake up to news like this every day.

1. Their justification - dutifully repeated by every sycophantic member of the House GOP was that some drugs kill Americans so any international actor who sells or traffics drugs is engaged in war against America. You can drive a bus through that logic, as I noted last month https://x.com/seancasten/status/2001356117109248353?s=61

@georgetakei how is "Greta on a bicycle" a bad door??

@georgetakei Well, yes, that's the surveillance state of someone else. The own one is, of course, always the good one. 😜

@georgetakei

I want Greta with a bicycle. That seems like a great future.

@georgetakei There is a 4th door - we throw PT and his ilk into a pit.

@georgetakei Greta & the bicycle please

@georgetakei

Behind door five there's this:

"A Grand Challenge

My friends, the simple truth is that we are wasting our precious time, resources, intellect, and passion. As a species we are just as aimless today as when our primitive ancestors first ventured out upon this earth.

Today I am proposing that for the first time in human history, we change that.

Radically.

More than any time in history, humanity needs a grand challenge. Not only to avert its extinction, but also to indelibly etch the common bond of mutual reliance and cooperation on current and future generations.

Fortunately, all of the forces that now seem to conspire against us can quickly be turned to our advantage.

For the first time in human history we actually possess technologies so advanced that any physical problem can potentially be solved.

And yet, I wonder, do we possess the will and wisdom to utilize them for our salvation instead of our destruction?

I propose that we find out.

So today I offer you a radical and stark choice between two future realities.

An aimless future of continued war and conflict, with all its accompanying suffering and death; or a limitless future dedicated to defeating suffering and death itself, with all its accompanying technological advancement and social evolution.

Yes indeed, I have a new plan, for all of you. A plan of hope. A plan of adventure. A plan of such extraordinary magnitude as to take the breath, and challenge the senses, of all who would consider it. A plan to bind our common people in hope, and finally free our conscience for noble purpose.

I propose that in the next three decades we at last end the scourge of human disease upon this Earth, and begin the inevitable adventure of humanity's migration beyond it.

We shall at last unlock the fundamental secrets of our biology so we may conquer any illness or defect at will, and we shall free ourselves from the bonds of our native home so we may evade global calamities, and begin the expansion of our species beyond this world.

No longer shall our survival be dependent upon the random and dispassionate forces of nature. No longer shall we quiver in anguish as we helplessly watch those we love suffer and die in agony from an endless list of human disease and dysfunction. No longer shall our globe be divided in constant turmoil and conflict while the hammer of fate hangs precariously balanced over all we know and love.

We shall at last take control of our future, our fate, and ourselves.

No other endeavor ever attempted by humankind will require more genius, dedication, compassion, and sacrifice.

And no other endeavor ever attempted by humankind will be more vital to the continued existence of our species.

I understand that for many this may initially seem like pure science fiction. This is to be expected since the scales of the threats we face reside within the scope of what we have always considered to be science fiction. However, in reality, all of these goals are well within our technological reach. They are the quickest, and I believe only, way for our species to battle both the physical and societal threats that will continue to confront us."

@georgetakei if these are the three options. I take the bicycle.

@georgetakei

We need to allow all Muslims and Africans to educate to masters degree level and have Theil to pay for it!

@georgetakei Greta with a bycicle ROX.

And this Thiel guy SUX 😏

@georgetakei Well well well. If it isn't our old friend the straw man.

@georgetakei Eeerrrm...

I, for one, welcome our two wheel transported overlord.

Go Greta!!!!

@georgetakei #techbros want the dystopia, they figure they're the ones who will be ruling it!

@georgetakei

Nobody expects the French Revolution.

That's always on the table.

@georgetakei Well, one "choice" out of three ain't really bad.

But he should better only talk about a place he really knows.

@georgetakei 🤮😭

@georgetakei A digital surveillance state is what he wants. He's the same guy who has puppets like Sachs and Vance throughout the US government, battling anything that looks like it may prevent a digital survellance state that he controls.

@georgetakei Peter Thiel is the Antichrist.

@georgetakei I'm fine with Greta, I already have a bike

@georgetakei Thiel doesn’t know what he’s talking about. Many American billionaires for that matter when it concerns Europe. Their motive for saying this BS lies elsewhere.

@georgetakei
There is fourth door, through which Thiel and Ellison sit watching us all, along with the rest of big tech.
Only the door is usually a phone, so they can travel with our digital souls in their pockets 24 hours a day.
