"Mad at the Internet" - a/k/a My Psychotherapy Sessions

Don't you have to basically dox yourself to vote in the US? Didn't Jim get doxed by Jade's voter registration?
I mean at this point I would be surprised if there was a US citizen out there that couldn't be easily doxxxxed. There's just so much data collection and reselling that if you don't live like a complete schizo (and even then), you are going to leave behind a ton of bread crumbs
 
Also, voting in deranged candidates SPECIFICALY to torment people in Brussels is one of the most based things you can do.
Too bad a lot, if not most, eurofiefdoms get to pick only between establishment and controlled opposition. There's hardly and wildcard option for voters when even le based candidates go headsmash the jew wall as soon as they get into office.

I saw redditors kvetching over this weird Romanian candidate (I know literally nothing about her) so that's a bonus too.

RIP: Lynn Conway, trans scientist and icon, 1938–2024 (A)

Lynn Ann Conway was born on January 2, 1938 and grew up in White Plains, New York. Conway enrolled at MIT in 1955, but dropped out. After working as an electronics technician, Conway enrolled at Columbia University’s School of Engineering and Applied Science, earning bachelor’s and master’s degrees in 1962 and 1963.

Conway began at IBM Research in 1964, helping to develop new supercomputer technology. After coming out as transgender in 1968, Conway was fired by IBM.

After making a gender transition, Conway worked at Computer Applications and Memorex before joining Xerox PARC in 1973 to develop new integrated circuits. Conway co-authored Introduction to VLSI Systems with Carver Mead in 1978. The book’s insights are widely considered one of the most important advances in microchip technology.

Conway left Xerox to join DARPA’s Strategic Computing Initiative. Conway joined the University of Michigan in 1985 as professor of electrical engineering and computer science, and associate dean of engineering. Conway was appointed Professor Emerita in 1998.

Conway and engineer Charlie Rogers began a relationship in 1987, marrying in 2002.

Conway died on June 9, 2024 following heart issues.

Transgender activism​

After creating an academic page in 1997, Conway bought the domain lynnconway.com in 2000 and began building a large personal website that included information about gender transition. Conway’s Transsexual Women’s Successes pages were an important early source of community inspiration, later expanded with a similar page for notable trans men.

Conway was a key figure in the transgender community response to the 2003 publication of the anti-transgender book The Man Who Would Be Queen by J. Michael Bailey. Conway methodically documented events as they unfolded, creating an important archive. Gender studies professor K. Surkan said our work “represented one of the most organized and unified examples of transgender activism seen to date.”

Conway also performed in our first all-trans performance of The Vagina Monologues in 2004.

Conway was also among the first to question academia’s deliberate undercounting of trans and gender diverse people.

I know that this is the Kiwi Farms and all, but never did I expect to ever see a post featuring an Amberlynn Reid knockoff running for a European office in some kind of anti bite kink mask.

Let me attempt to elucidate on this specimen. Which apparently is not a tranny and isn't wearing a kink muzzle, or so I am led to believe.

That is Diana Iovanovici-Soșoaca, she is a representative of the Iași County (That is in the Romanian region of Moldova/Moldavia) in the Romanian Chamber of Deputies (Camera Deputaților), basically the lower house in the Romanian parliament. Think Senate or along those lines.

Her family originates from Skoplje, in modern day "Northern" Macedonia. They migrated to Romania in the interwar period (I think), she claims her paternal grandfather fought in the Battle of Stalingrad, of course on the side of the Iron Guard regime. Her relatives were anti-communist agitators during the cold war, some apparently got arrested for it. Her mother is a gynecologist and apparently esotericist. She is married to her third husband. Has a business law degree she got from the Romanian American University (Privately owned uni in Bucharest).

She was part of the Romanian A.U.R party (Alliance for the Union of Romanians/Alianța pentru Unirea Românilor), a rightist party that advocates for the following if we believe wikipedia: Revolutionary nationalism, Conservatism, Christian right, Right-wing populism, Anti-communism, Sovereigntism and apparently dabbles in Ultranationalism and Neo-Legionarism (That's the aforementioned Iron Guard).
She was kicked out of A.U.R. in 2022 for dissenting from the official party line and joined the S.O.S. Romania party and should be it's president now. They stand for Romanian nationalism, Romanian irredentism, Right-wing populism, Social conservatism, Russophilia, Anti-Semitism, Revolutionary nationalism and Hard Euroscepticism (According to Romanian wiki).

The muzzle she put on was done in protest during the 30'th anniversary of the adoption of the Romanian constitution, which she apparently believes "Is annulling the fundamental rights of the Romanian people". She was one of the prominent anti-covid vaxxers, she believes Romania should withdraw from the EU, and advocates for annexation of former Romanian land from Ukraine and unification with Moldavia (The independent one) through an alliance with Russia. Apparently also supports Palestine.

This is how she looks like without the *muzzle*

Hope this saves someone's time from skimming Romanian wikipedia and obscure news articles from 2021.

All I know is some creepy organization keeps sending me letters saying that they know if I voted or not.

Would honestly just prefer if they came out with what they actually mean.

In many places if you never register to vote they don't know to call you for jury doody, either.

Though jury doody is a billion infinity times more based than voting, tbh.

And they've started to wise up in some places and use driver license rolls, etc. But it's not as good because jurors like voters have to be citizens.
 
What about the "single transferable vote" system? I don't know how Australia specifically does it but I hear everyone say the general idea is objectively better than the "first past the post" system we use.
I have never looked into it too hard, but "ranked voting" (another name for that) and multiple votes are interesting. I think in Germany you get 5 ballots to allocate however you please, be it for 1 party or 5 different ones.

All forms of democracy do not work with a mixed origin demos though.
 
are you so young that 2020 didn't register?
What the pademic? I mean. Yeah, but that wasnt just a us thing. And thankfully where i live, we didnt have any serious restrictions after a few months.

The only thing that has affected me in the last fucking all of my life with regards to politics is that taxes have gone up and down apparently unrelated to anything I can predict, there's some sort of obamacare mandate (gay as hell, dating a man? wtf) and trump winning broke my ribs so I needed to use that government healthcare.

Everything else in my life, even if somewhat tangentially affected by the current party in power OR where I lived, was much more greatly affected by my actions and choices.

STOP FUCKING VOTING!

Like talking about doing something gives you the same high as doing the thing, voting gives you the same feel that you're improving your life that actually getting off your ass and doing shit does.

Anyway, I did see an actual tranny at walmart once, so there's that. Looked horrible.
Pretty similar experience for me.

And i'll spot a troon every once in a while irl. Though usually theyre just minding their own business.

I think the area most effected and influenced by them, is online. Or at least online culture. Since irl at least they can't really effect much. Not saying they aren't fucking up irl stuff for people also. Just that they have a bigger influence on online culture.

Just about any method you can think of works better than what the US uses. STV is one of the better systems, but I think the consensus is that the best is "Approval" voting. It's almost the same as the US system, but you can vote for multiple people.
