6. Virginia and what it means in general

Part one:

Looking back, this was how the districts were:

Keep your eye on 7, 8, 10, 11. All right, here’s the new districting:

What they do is go to that 7, 8, 10, 11 and start the districts like spokes coming out of Fairfax County, the almost complete Demonrat area and divide it up so that it sways the result over the more sparsely populated rural areas. Result in seats as you see.

Yes, it is going up before the V-SC but of course, that is cobtrolled, is it not, in the way SCOTUS is controlled. Corrupt? Corrupt plus.

How the hell were voters persuaded? Well, a mixture of starry eyed ignorance:

… and fear:

Which still doesn’t completely cover why. Thing was, the question was rigged … asking do you support a fairer redistricting, more accurately reflecting etc. etc. Esp. The you g saw the word “fair” and thought oh yes, we like “fair”, stop that evil Trump.

The question then becomes … should women and the young have the vote?

Part two:

I did have a rant at OoL and let’s deal with that first. It’s a mindless argument to say things like “moan moan moan” and “it’s your own fault for using their services”.

Take gmail, youtube and blgr. The three are integrated with websearch, the fourth element, to produce a result for this blog based on preferences. Yes, you can say, “Well I can access youtubes all right without selling out to ggl.

Yes you can and you, for your purposes, get the result you want. But I’m running a blog and it depends on personal recommendations in shorts and films, plus some friends overseas dependent on gmail … so I’m locked into their level of knowledge … plus I ustd how the search engine is skewed … so one asks different questions to the norm … shan’t bore you with all the fine detail.

It’s not as if I’m operating starry-eyed in this … what is there now is the least bad option for now, when blending in all the little ways of getting around the blockages … it’s constant warfare.

For example … I started a new “thread” with one friend … it disappeared. I’ll say again … I sent an email and it had a reply, but neither of us received either. So I made a new one … also went to ether. Then a third.

I eventually found mine, plus its reply from two days ago in trash. I had not trashed it. So I started adding to it, once back in inbox. Ether again. You see, an extra step has now been added by the platform. Plus another in trash was Cloud saying I was overlimit. I checked … I was about 30% …hence it had gone to trash via ggl (a good thing they did).

Now, if I want to post a pic to OoL, it will only do it on one of the ipads, the one NOT using the latest, universally hated OS version. And even then, I have to do a runaround, three times, in order to get the pic to post.

Now readers, I’m not moaning, I’m explaining … there’s a distinct difference.

Latest … I screenshot two pics of the Virginia district maps. Both were saved, one after the other, to library. Fine … quick check, there they were. Ok … wrote this Virginia post, loaded the old districting in, went for the new one from library, where it had been sitting … warrnt there now.

It was neither in library, nor in recently saved, nor in recently deleted. Now if I say some bstd had removed it … well yes, it had been removed, having initially been there. But through one of those “extra step” requirements … and only for “sensitive” news.

What do I mean? I mean that the second district pic above is not the one I saved. The one I’d saved had a circle drawn around Fairfax and it went into the new districting far better than the one up above here now. Not only completely disappeared from my storage but when I went back to X, it had gone from there too.

And you’re going to say to me the evil muvvers never collude, never coordinate, never combine? How naive is that wishful thinking? Just how naive are you?

Going back in time … why was I suspended from Twitter hours after reposting a tweet showing footage of Floyd and the officer, showing it was bollox what the left was pushing? Yet I have a friend who insists they’re not remotely interested in what I post. Yep, that’s why I lost N.O., because they were not remotely interested. Rrrriiiggghhhttt.

Where’s all this going? It means that some content can go up in some places and not in others, it’s not consistent and it requires me to explain to our contributors that there are certainly things going on behind the scenes which the readers don’t see. /END for now.
