#Octopuses are considered to be the most intelligent of all invertebrates, and for a good reason! 🐙
Read on to learn some facts about octopuses that will turn them into your favourite animal:

The AusOcean "rig" is a low-cost sea surface platform for supporting ocean science in coastal waters. Despite their relatively small size, rigs have been successfully deployed in South Australian coastal waters for many months at a time, proving to be very reliable against harsh oceanic conditions.

Man @snow_wintermute is hilariously pathetic.. they spend half their time mocking #fediblock for trying to block instances and the other half of their time trying to get instances blocked. They literally started an archive of instances to block and literally got blocked for their trouble.
Its funny in a sad sort of way.
This response shows you havent done any research regarding the links you posted or evidence and are literally just looking on google for anything that sounds like it vaguely supports your position.. The first link being the most damning in that regard.

Not even related to the presidential election we are talking about. This is literally about an entirely different election that took place after electing local state officials (senators). No relationship in any way to the presidential election being discussed.
> Judge rules Virginia's late election law changes for mail-in ballots were illegal
https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/politics/judge-rules-virginia-s-late-election-law-changes-for-mail-in-ballots-were-illegal/ar-BB1d9atb
This one of course is also complete nonsense and I even addressed it just a few days ago.
It only deemed specifically that letters that arrived throughthe mail that expiernced a technical error where the postmark did not print properly onto the letter and was not legible or absent could not be counted.
While it is perfectly reasonable that such a law might be deemed illegal anyone doing any actual objective research would have quickly discovered this accounts for virtually 0 actual cases. The number of letters that are accidentally missing a post mark are so unbelievably low that its laughable to even bring this up as a significant influence on election outcomes.
> “We never had any presentation in court where we actually looked at the evidence. Most of the cases were thrown out for lack of standing, which is a procedural way of not actually hearing the question. There were several states in which the law was changed by the secretary of State and not the state legislature. To me, those are clearly unconstitutional, and I think there’s there’s still a chance that those actually do finally work their way up to the Supreme Court.” - Rand Paul
A quote from a republican politician hardly counts as credible evidence, but lets consider this shall we.
It is, of course and no suprise both a complete lie and a fiction.. lets look at the actual numbers shall we:
There are actually quite a few cases that were heard, of course, only the ones that actually had evidence, court cases can and will be dropped if no evidence is provided to have the case proceed.
In total 6 cases across different states were held in full, and a rulling was passed, all 12 failed to succeed. 2 trials are still on going but were not dropped and made it to a full trial that is still in progress, and 6 trials were heard, and failed to succeed but has been appealed and the appeal is on going.
Sounds like a much bigger number than 0.
> Georgia Republican Poll Watcher Discovered Recount Error Off By More Than 9,000 Votes For Biden
https://thefederalist.com/2020/11/18/georgia-republican-poll-watcher-discovered-recount-error-off-by-more-than-9000-votes-for-biden/
Again complete lack of research on your part, this one actually shows the **opposite** of your claim. This error was caught during the normal process used to verify vote integrity and **not** due to any prompting or claim of voter fraud.
Sometimes human error occurs, thats why the system double and triple checks most votes and when an error is found it is corrected. This is exactly the case here, during the **normal** verification process they found one bin was mislabeled, it was corrected and when the final votes were announced it had already included this correct.
> This, is an excellent rundown of the quite unbelievable elements of this election:
No its not, its a horrific one, just like every single one of your links above were trivially debunked with even a moments research.. picking the things that agree with you from very obviously biased news sources just means you have a bunch of lies, a long list of lies is still lies.
> Just because CNN doesn't talk about it doesn't mean it didn't happen.
I agree, CNN is shit and they lie their asses off and bias everything they report for the left..CNN being biased and shit doesnt make your biased shit news source and less bias or shit.
i posted an actual picture of you doing research on this post for reference.
@noelle @dragon @crash @undefined @Mae @MxCraven @cadence Admin of QOTO here... wow really, until this very moment I have not even heard of nazi.social and there hasnt been a single report against anyone from our instance interacting with them in any way.
Have you not considered that you should alert the admin **first** if there is a problem and not just right to defederating a whole instance without even bothering to make a report.
Moreover, even if you do wish to defederate, making a report means they have a chance to solve what you clearly feel is inappropriate behavior, so its rather disingenuous not to.
A few points from QOTO side to help you decide if you wish to defederate from us..
1) We have never had a single user that I am aware of follow, share, or speak with anyone from that instance. If they did their interaction maybe have been to yell at them and call them deplorable, or something that would otherwise be a perfectly acceptable interaction (ie not supporting the instance or their purpose).
2) We wanted to start blocking instances years ago during the great GAB block issue, many of our moderators supported a GAB block. But as anyone in the LGBT community knows from that time period we had a huge LGBT mass migration to our servers at the time (which I didnt understand at first) and when we opened it up to the group to decide ultimately it was the LGBT community who strongly urged us not to defederate from instances such as these.
The case that the LGBT community here made at the time is that most of them migrated to our server because so many pro-LGBT spaces were blocking GAB and similar servers and they wanted a place where they could monitor accounts freely for doxxing and other threats to their community and share that with the appropriate targets, for their own protection. Since most servers that had permissive federation policies were not LGBT friendly they felt QOTO was the only place they could go and be safe on our local server and have access to that information.
It cost us as a server (and still does), some servers (as we see in this thread) have defederated for our choice to defend the wishes and safety of our LGBT community, that is a sacrifice I do not regret and continue to defend. We have even added features specifically with their concerns in mind (for example their ability to get notified when someone on these servers posts but without needing to actually follow the user, to protect their identity and that they are watching).
3) We have very strict no-hate speech rules, and sharing or promoting anything from nazi.social would get one of our users banned
@freemo I am following you with 3 of my accounts. So there is that. 😛
Some photos from when I got caught in the middle of a buffalo stampede in Yellowstone National Park. I was being kind of stupid and had time to run off before they got to me like everyone else but I was more focused on taking pictures than my life, which in retrospect was kinda stupid. The stampede ran around me and I didnt get hurt, partly due tot he fact that there were only a dozen or so of them. I got luck.
But hey, I didn't die, and I got some **AMAZING** photos, so I will take it as a win.

TL;Dr Trump is an idiot and no way in hell he should be president. But no he did not make a call to action for those riots, ultimately other factors created the riots when tensions were already high.
> he did actually, he told them that they had to fight. That's a call to action.
Thats a **huge** stretch to claim its a call to action.. The term fight is not and never has been exclusive to physical violence.. "I will fight to stay alive", "you need to fight to keep your rights"... none of this implies "you must be violent".. it does mean you need to take action, not violent action, and I think you know that.
Biden/Harris has used the term fight **many** times none of which I would consider a call to action but by your definition would be, and therefore he should be in jail by your reasoning.. things like "
"I’d take him behind the gym and beat the hell out of him,[Trump]’” (in this case he is using fight to mean literal violence)
harris: "The task is to fight for the soul of our country,"
But I know better, I know someone saying "you have to fight for xxx" does **not** imply physical violence. I think you know better too but are just desperately trying to justify a weak position. The phrasing does **not** imply violence and you know it.
> He told the same people that the intelligence community, that briefs the present, suspected that might become violent.
Due to typos here its hard to understand what your saying.. Sounds like your saying some people told president trump his followers could maybe become violent... Sure, but that doesnt change anything. It makes the people who became violent wrong, and made people sure. But it doesnt make Trump legally responsible for it all the same.
Do you hold it to the same standard in reverse, we had 4 years of extreme violence from the left too, my own town was on fire for days, black smoke was in the sky and it smelled horrible, all thanks to liberal anti-government riots. Do we blame Biden for that simply because he rallied his fan base to hate the government and became volatile before finally snapping? I don't.
> While the riots were going on, he didn't do anything for an hour.
Absolutely false, I watched the riots live. The moment there was an inkling of violence he got on the TV and told them to go home. It took him the same amount of time to get on TV and make a statement as it took Biden to do the same... lets not make things up the facts are bad enough.
> When he finally told them to go home, he tells them that he loves them. They left the moment he told them to go home.
So his tactic of telling him he loved them worked and they went home? So whats the problem them, sounds like him using that phrasing was effective.
> It's pretty obvious they, it wasn't just Trump enticing their supporters, knew what they were doing and the outcome of it.
Well its not quite that simple. There were different groups in the crowd reacting to different things in different ways. As I can see it from watching every video of the day from every angle I could find there were 3 groups responding to three different things:
1) There were the very small minority of the group who legitimately wanted to overthrow the government and had delusions of grandeur they were going to start a coup. They were largely unorganized but were random people who made some indication online of having some violent intent. This seems to be something like 1% of the crowd.
2) There were the peaceful onlookers who never rioted and generally were appalled by the violence that took place. They mostly just peacefully sat there and did nothing. This was the bulk of the crowd, probably around 74% or so, certainly a majority, hard to say the exact percentage.
3) there were the people who rioted in the spur of the moment in response to the police brutality taking place shortly before the barricades were overrun.
Watching video from behind the barricades or nearby we see scenes of cops pulling people from the crowd, pulling them off to an open space and repeatedly beating them even once they were subdued and handcuffed. In one such scene that took place shortly before the crowd became riotous we see a cop beating a man handcuffed and in the fetal position on the ground while another cop is called over, pulls out his baton and continues the beating. The crowd is screaming in anger and you hear the crowd screaming things like "we should beat you!" and "stop beating him!!!" Since this was behind the barricades and in a clearing it was in clear view of almost the entire crowd that at the time was barely being held back by the barricades. Moments later the crowd turns riotous and break through the barricades charging.
It certainly didnt help that shortly after the crowd became riotous one of the small percentage from group #1 was trying to make their way to the chamber. While they were breaking windows and otherwise acting hostile you see in earlier video they were completely non-violent against individuals, as well as unarmed. For example when they wanted to break through the window a single policeman stood between her and the crowd behind her of a few dozen. They screamed at him but did not assault him in anyway. It wasn't till after he moved out of the way and she started breaking down the window that she was shot and killed. Now while what she didn wasnt right, the fact that she was non-violent towards people and unarmed, yet was shot to death was an unacceptable response and it further drew the crowd to anger. Shooting and killing an unarmed protestor turned rioter is never acceptable nor will it quell the riots, it will usually make it worse.
How is it @Jojo only has 204 followers, i figured he is way too infamous to only have 200 some followers...
im reading the phone transcript with Raffensperger that was leaked where he was trying to get the votes he needed to win....
I cant tell if trump is truly delusional and just a conspiracy theorist who beleives his own bullshit and is too far gone to have a sense of reality, of if he is intentionally trying to manipulate the situation and he knows better.
I get the feeling that Trump just completely lost all sense of sanity near the end and really beleived he had one and even though what he was saying made no sense he was just literally teetering on a psychotic episode or just too stupid and bias to accept reality.
I guess its a small consolation to think he wasnt intentionally trying to manipulate the situation or the results... then again I'm not 100% sure he wasnt.
