It’s me, Jack. Joseph Bidome! The banana controversy is just my opponent trying to distract you from my fantastic achievements as BOTUS. Bidome of the United Sticks.

  • Look, if everyone just decided on a style and everyone went with it within a system I’d be okay with that. It’s not great but at least it wouldn’t be jarring.

    But having to live by the whim of 50 different app designers is disgusting. I just want to have a good time, not learn 50 different interfaces.

    Though my thoughts on it would also stifle new ideas. So that’s bad.









  • I asked Snapchats AI thing if it had internet. Yes, it very confidently proclaimed. This was around when Tears of the Kingdom had been released on the switch so I asked what the latest Zelda game was and it was something much much older. Of course that doesn’t necessarily mean anything so I kept prodding for other recent news and was provided nothing.

    My partner asked the same of it and was told very confidently that no, it does in fact not have access to the internet and proceeded to give some long-winded explanation of why.

    Can’t trust those things to say anything correct since they’re just doing what they’ve been constructed to do. String words together into sentences.

    The American system has problems that the founders did not forsee or wouldn’t want to acknowledge, but when other democratic countries are met with such issues they tend to rewrite their constitution (or corresponding legal documents) while America just stands by it’s flaws. Something that, again, is a feature of the flawed system the framers of the constitution either didn’t see or didn’t want to see.

    I don’t think things were intended to be so difficult to change in the US that the system grinds to a halt, but at the same time the constitution is obviously written to slow change down.

    This said I still think it’s a preferable system to more authoritarian ones. Nowhere near perfect though. Could be way more democratic.
