I don't believe he is going to take responsibility for the Hamas deal, because the deal looks like it's falling apart, so why would he do that?

@SteveSokolowski that would entail admitting he didn't have a huge crowd

@JussiVilleHeiskanen A bigger issue is the record cold. At 25 degrees colder and probably 40 degrees colder in wind chill, it's unlikely he could draw the same number of people even though he is considerably more popular now.

@SteveSokolowski What is Quillist?

@TiredCliche It's the username of the creator.

@jks Does Musk have to appear on stage? Or would Musk being, say, in the front row at the inauguration count

@michaelwardEnLS I want to believe

Does summoning something count as prayer?

@JussiVilleHeiskanen like summoning a demon you mean?

I petition for "Pray" to resolve YES if Lovecraftian gods descend upon earth on January 20th.

@Quroe Paavo Väyrynen, a finnish politician has a special relationship in popular culthure (inadvertent spello I will let ride) with the great ancients as the lovecraftian gods are termed in finnish.

Does commuting his sentence count as a pardon?

For context

1. Risks from artificial intelligence

2. Catastrophic pandemics

3. Nuclear weapons

4. Great power conflict

5. Factory farming

6. Global priorities research

7. Building effective altruism

8. Improving decision making (especially in important institutions)

He doesn't have to say the exact words e.g. "we got so many nukes you wouldn't believe" would count for nuclear weapons

Improving decision making (especially in important institutions)

@TheAllMemeingEye Would "we'll drain the swamp in DC" count?

@skibidist hmm, might be a bit too removed on its own, would probably need to be more like "I promise America I will fix the government, I'll end corruption, drain the swamp, it'll be great" or something like that

@TheAllMemeingEye im in

@TheAllMemeingEye thanks for reminding me to do my annual watch of Trump's powerful exposition on nuclear proliferation:

Anyone know why this is so low? I'd have thought that's something trump would really like to do

@TheAllMemeingEye he wont have a chance... Smith already resigned

@hidetzugu oh, right, thanks

@TimothyBandors how would you describe your political views?

@TheAllMemeingEye

I usually end up around here on the compass test. I'll be a fair judge and only resolve yes if he does something that makes me think "based" when I read about it.

@TimothyBandors Thanks 👍

@Krantz We're strictly talking about the extraterrestrial variety, correct? Not the context of immigration? If I bet, I don't want to get genie loopholed.

@Quroe yes

@Quroe This would have been very funny if you didn't request clarification

@TimothyBandors Well, genie loopholes are notoriously funny, yes.
