IM DA JOKER BABY
As a heads up in advance, we have an intermediate protection ready in case the site goes down again due to extremely high traffic, like it did for Roe v Wade. (We are also working on infrastructure and performance improvements in the meantime, but I’m the actual worst, so…) If that does go into effect, you’ll see the following:
- posts will only be visible to logged in users
- your upbears will still work (number will change), but they won’t stay highlighted yellow.
So… uh… no need to panic. (IF that even happens)
Sorry for sharing an uneducated opinion but would it help/be possible to disable the real time page updates, and only update upon URL change or refresh? That’s gotta be pinging the site all the time from every tab right?
It also sometimes makes my open threads suddenly disappear so I wouldnt miss it
I appreciate the suggestion. I think that’s something that’s been discussed before. while I’m not as much of a front-end dev, I’ve been told that the site’s usage of websockets makes this not as bad? don’t want to out any of the other devs, but maybe someone else can chime in if they feel comfortable doing so.
Can confirm. The bottlenecks that happen when the site gets high traffic are in the database. New websocket messages happen in response to post and comment creation, which are relatively lightweight operations with a small payload.
So live updates have consistently been an issue that needs to be resolved on the frontend, but making that fix would not stop the site from getting overloaded
Thank you and the team for all your hard work, I’ve been too angry to touch most other sites in the last week. :fidel-salute:
Hi! Thanks for all your hard work!
If I had a certain set of web skills, how would I go about helping you all out?
we may have to start making excuses for the lack of terror
So there it is, laid out plain and clear for the libs: the continuation of this system and the survival of human civilization are now in total conflict; only one of the two can possibly happen now.
They’ll still insist on a :vote:-based solution, sure. But what happens when they get slaughtered in November? Will they finally wake the fuck up, or will they just mope at brunch? Stay tuned, folks.
There’s some people that realize the problem, but reading through the reddit thread on Brandon saying he’s okay with an exception to the filibuster to codify Roe v. Wade, there’s a bunch of people screaming that we need to vote, that if we touch the filibuster, Republicans will do worse, and that there’s nothing we can really do because of a constitutional crisis should Congress pass a law directly at odds against the Supreme Court, but also don’t think about gerrymandering. I don’t see these people still violently against anything other than voting to ever wake up. I mean for God’s sake they think they’ll get Collins and Murkowski to defect to counter Manchin and Sinema.
that if we touch the filibuster, Republicans will do worse
This is a fucking baby brained take. The Dems basically never used the filibuster when Trump was in office because they know full well if they use it the Republicans have no problem just ignoring it. It’s a rule that only applies to democrats.

They did. The biggest bill the was passed under Trump was the 2017 tax cuts which passed under budget reconciliation ( the way you can avoid the filibuster once per year). The filibuster definitely limited what the Trump govt could do (till Dems won the House)
The difference is that Republicans can advance their goals with the Federalist Society people on the Supreme Court (as we are seeing) so they benefit more from the filibuster being in place.
They’ll still insist on a :vote:
Supreme court just took up a voting laws case for next term :capitalist-laugh:
Steve Vladeck @steve_vladeck #BREAKING: #SCOTUS grants certiorari in Moore v. Harper; will decide next Term whether state legislatures can override state courts on questions of state law where federal elections are concerned (the “independent state legislature doctrine”):

I was talking with some of my lib friends about this who are struggling to come to terms with the reality of it…but in my anecdotal experience they’re kinda getting it. If they do wake up though, the problem we’ll have to deal with is that this is going to require things getting to the point where people are willing to literally throw their bodies in front of this to try and stop this thing.
I don’t blame them for being terrified and not wanting to. I’m on the wrong side of 35 so I don’t harbor illusions about being solid snake under the right circumstances anymore like every idiot dude thinks he would be given the chance.
I thought I’d find a 538 article telling Dems it was still safe to brunch but I guess that wouldn’t be the case. I was almost certain 2022 would hold steady and 2024 would be when they jerk the wheel right, but I guess were going to veer into it first.
three years ago i held up a sign at a protest that said socialism or barbarism
well… barbarism it is folks!

I’m already planning to wage gorillla warfare on the federalist society. Me and my mates are storming the place completely nude, armed and dangerous while blasted on lsd :spongebob-party: :spongebob-party: :spongebob-party:
to any federal agents reading: this is not a parody i am a danger to society and good luck i’m behind 69 proxies behind the dumpster of a mcdonalds using their wifi where i craft all of my posts
This is even more clear cut than Roe that it would be incredibly simple for the Democrats to fix this with legislation, so of course you can count on them doing absolutely nothing and pretending Joe Manchin is the only dem in the pocket of big coal.

How so?
the decision just says the EPA can’t define stuff w/o congress, no? so congress just needs to pass a law with the same rules. dems are in power it should be as simple as pie lmao
but i think they’ll lay this one on the altar of “things we cant do anything about because someone we can override said no”
