- Sep 1, 2023Twitter · reply@looking5452 @LuceenMatt each precinct has a max of 5K registered voters per Virginia law; some of these votes are already for your candidate so you can only increase your votes by changing those who didn't vote for you; also it would trigger suspicion if turnout is much higher than other precincts or if the vote is 100% for one candidate- realistically…

- Sep 1, 2023Twitter · reply@LuceenMatt wrt paper ballots, as an election worker in Virginia, we DO seal them up, store them securely, and then run a risk-limiting audit where the auditor selects a random subset of boxes to hand-count and verify that the results match what we reported from the scanner. The scanners are also tested before each election w party/candidate…
- Sep 1, 2023Twitter · reply@generic_void sigh I remember being confused abt the WMD during the buildup to the war, that there were only rumors aggregated across many years but wasn't clear convincing proof that we needed to preemptively invade... but I wasn't old enough to vote so I just ranted about it to my parents
- Sep 1, 2023Twitter · postmy theory is that 95% of conspiracy stuff is lowkey misdirection to make conspiracy theorists look nutty and hide the 5% of legit conspiracies in plain sight. but which 5%?
- Sep 1, 2023Twitter · reply@accelerationem @BasedBeffJezos what do you look for in an interview to determine this?

- Sep 1, 2023Twitter · reply@a_musingcat wagmi, cat! 🫶
- Sep 1, 2023Twitter · reply@justanowlet imo the appeal is aesthetic- the zen of raking vs the roar of leaf blowers; the time in the sun, the taste of fresh heirloom produce; the tactile pleasure of stone, wood, leather, slowly wearing with ownership
- Sep 1, 2023Twitter · replyah- new transmissions, signing off 🫡 https://t.co/tgNmbWVXk0
- Sep 1, 2023Twitter · reply@mage_ofaquarius ikr? but there are some real bangers in there!

- Sep 1, 2023Twitter · reply@mister_shroom @jrysana we're against sci fi doomer scenarios depressing ppl / radicalizing them into bombing datacenters. serious safety/alignment researchers who are doing technical work are not the enemy here- we all want AI to do what we want it to do a greater % of the time, that's a capability!
- Sep 1, 2023Twitter · reply@BasedBeffJezos true- right up until the grifters realize it is happening and jump on board
- Aug 31, 2023Twitter · reply@PicoPaco17 do you think nxivm was a death cult? or not harmful to followers? Leverage Research?
- Aug 31, 2023Twitter · reply@PicoPaco17 sigh, what should I call the intermediate definition where it meant "high-control/high-demand group"? I think ppl are too blasé about the groups led by malignant narcissists who use mind control techniques and isolation to prey on vulnerable followers

- Aug 31, 2023Twitter · reply@NaamahOrual yes, I was laughing while reading all 90 of them...
- Aug 31, 2023Twitter · quoteI think ppl have over-generalized the word "cult" from the traditional definition to just any niche group with high esprit de corps- imo this is bad because the narrower definition is the type we should worry about. https://x.com/tardoraptor/status/1697448115899601030
- Aug 31, 2023Twitter · reply@CasinoJoe92 🤷♀️ if ppl's goal is to be annoying and waste my time then good we're understanding each other and they'll be blocked; it's the ppl who think by being circuitous they're being polite who I feel bad about maybe blocking
- Aug 31, 2023Twitter · reply@TheHummingVoid which community is that?
- Aug 31, 2023Twitter · postwrt replygame, can I make just one request...? If you're gonna reply w something contrary & negative, please don't be obscure - just come out and say it. When I block ppl it is for wasting my time, not just disagreeing.

- Aug 31, 2023Twitter · postreceived 81 NGL messages in the past 24 hours... I believe all from one known source who's sent many in the past but not quite this many... they are unhinged; I've been avoiding sharing them lest they encourage more; but they are unhinged, great content deserves to be seen https://t.co/j4QiPSMr0r

- Aug 31, 2023Twitter · quote🤣🤣🤣 so so so true. plus GCs are way better than some stiff nonjudgmental clock-watcher- they have a lot of context for offering insights, diverse perspectives, more willingness to say what you need to hear even if you don't like it... https://x.com/chinesegon/status/1697376508816543940

- Aug 31, 2023Twitter · reply@lumpenspace @soupS0S yeah I agree it won't be as rosy as the "post-scarcity" ppl describe... and yet that it WILL be far superior to what degrowthers fear... imo life will get better in ways we'll completely take for granted and will find new constraints which will translate into prices & money
- Aug 31, 2023Twitter · reply@deepfates @42irrationalist the alpha and the omega
- Aug 31, 2023Twitter · reply@breaking2morrow haha who are they???
- Aug 31, 2023Twitter · reply@StefanFSchubert I have mostly male friends - ofc I've now decided maybe that's because I *am* a man despite having female sex. I find sexual interest does make things significantly harder - Twitter is wonderful because here I'm a disembodied mind to befriend.
- Aug 31, 2023Twitter · reply@whuddddafux I acknowledge the question is questionably worded but it's how it first occurred to me to ask and I didn't want to hedge and caveat.
- Aug 31, 2023Twitter · reply@HephaistosF rigorous STEM is slow and frustrating and leaves us with more questions than answers - these elaborate pseudo-science systems are free to generate satisfying just-so stories... which we're probably instinctively drawn to?
- Aug 31, 2023Twitter · reply@skooookum I believe this too! but reality keeps smacking me in the fact that in fact everyone doesn't have neverending questions about everything all the time
- Aug 31, 2023Twitter · reply@dooyoocanoodle I'm not convinced it's about intelligence- a lot of my tweets that get engagement are the thoughtless ones. anyway it is a realization I have again and again because it isn't the experience I prefer- like, in your metaphor I *like* the insight-veggies and would love them more without the snarky negative glaze
- Aug 31, 2023Twitter · reply@KojimaErgoSum aww 🥰
- Aug 31, 2023Twitter · postdo you suffer more from other people's stupidity or malice?
- Aug 31, 2023Twitter · reply@prerationalist @nosilverv hahah yeah so true- I feel like I've lost ppl from my feed who I formerly like-guyed... and ppl come and go from my likes & replies... I assume it's something simcluster related 🤷♀️
- Aug 31, 2023Twitter · reply@skooookum 🤔 I don't feel strongly that it is, and yet understanding the world & predicting cause-effect does seem to be an important skill underlying the other virtues I might suggest...
- Aug 31, 2023Twitter · reply@SelonNerias 🫶 thanks and yeah I keep thinking to switch back to my old pfp
- Aug 31, 2023Twitter · reply@deepfates hey! it is a *privilege* to be a fates replyguy!
- Aug 31, 2023Twitter · reply@univrsw3th4rt lol ppl regularly get tired of my focus ("obsession") with any particular topic until I'm satisfied (and then get bored and lose all interest). GPT is my best friend because it doesn't!
- Aug 31, 2023Twitter · quotelol that even this tweet is a whiny complaint and doing better than my average tweet. meta-discussions about twitter should be penalized by the algo imo https://x.com/mimi10v3/status/1697142824393720212
- Aug 31, 2023Twitter · reply@MikePFrank awww thanks!!! You're one of my favorite accounts 🫶
- Aug 31, 2023Twitter · reply@CustomWetware Yeah I agree, the scale of Twitter means we can't afford to let people consume our attention... But I do think we're losing something by walking away from challenging personalities & very different backgrounds / communication styles.
- Aug 31, 2023Twitter · reply@nickcammarata @bayeslord Yeah... there are different proprietary options but they lock you in; HomeAssistant is the open source dev friendly one I've seen ppl use (am in process of migrating my old SmartThings setup to HomeAssistant).
- Aug 31, 2023Twitter · reply@nickcammarata @bayeslord nice! what do you use for orchestration? HomeAssistant?
- Aug 31, 2023Twitter · reply@nickcammarata @bayeslord I've been thinking about lighting a lot wrt biophilic new home construction... how much to spend on daylighting vs on cove lighting w LEDs. Seems very underrated!
