Yeah I'm comparing 3rd party votes to voting for the less harmful duopoly + activism, you're comparing it to doing nothing.
You're right voting 3rd party is better than doing absolutely nothing. What a high bar
in what way is buying a competitor not inherently anti-competitive?
If someone has a history of anti-competitive behavior, preventing them from buying competitors is perfectly logical
What are you even talking about? I've seen videos of cops shooting at dogs wagging their tails. I've seen cops shoot at small dogs and accidentally hit the owners. Here's just one of many videos, see if you can watch it without being disgusted by these pigs https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0D1wzZU14h0
Thatās true until it isnāt.
The way you change that is election reform. Not thoughts and prayers and spoiler votes when one of the 2 big parties is running a wannabe-dictator.
Think, if fools in Florida didn't vote 3rd party in 2000 you'd never have bush or the war in iraq, and we might have given a shit about global warming.
Please, tell me you're a child who knows nothing about the US electoral system without telling me. People like you got us Trump
Too much of a baby to read and understand the spoiler effect that comes with FPTP? Too impatient and short-sighted to push for election reform (RCV or approval voting) and just want some low effort immediate option that requires nothing more than casting a vote? Child. Democracies require effort to survive.
Did you just scoff at the idea of competition improving a market?
or they're simply pumped full of Fox brand fear of anything slightly different and prefer this guys brand of crazy
Yup, few people remember how few and far between big budget fantasy films used to be. Computer graphics have gotten cheap enough now that we see big fantasy sets all the time. Back when LOTR hit it was really rare for someone to cater to the fantasy crowd on the big screen, especially for a whole trilogy.
Much like the original Tolkien novels are a hard read but still seen as classics because they laid groundwork for the genre, the movies are seen as classics because they came first. They are probably Peter Jackson's best movies but that's only because he got even worse at editing as he went on.
Okay but they have no incentive to do any of that and instead have monetary incentive to shift right
Do participate in bringing ranked choice voting to your state if you want a shift left in the USA. Competition will force the shift you are looking for
Nope. Wasted questions on animal/plant/mineral when that paradigm isn't accurate enough for a machine I guess.
Seemed to understand alive vs not.
guys really do think about women laughing at them as much as we think about them trying to murder us
Except the casino can refuse to pay out for any reason at all
USA strikers should take notes
The global elite buy the USA politicians. They are for sale internationally
In Bush's case, the family is owned by the Saudis. And the Saudis couldn't have the USA president going after oil.
In the usa we did vote for AL gore, who campaigned pretty much solely on stopping climate change.
When it became clear gore would win, the Supreme Court stopped counting ballots and gave the win to Bush, an oil tycoon who went to war for oil. Later Kavanaugh, who worked the case for Bush, was given a lifetime appointment to the same court for their effective cronyism
So yes, the global elite are the reason here.
This may be unpopular but the marraige model was never good for women in the west, and Im glad we are free of it.
We were expected to be live-in bang-maid-mothers. Women were lobotomized during the 'golden 1950s' that some (often conservative men) worship.
I think I am starting to prefer a model where I live together in groups with friends/ family for protection and support.
Now its just the kids aging into mario kart abilities, like my niece who just asked for this for her bday
I'm curious if anyone has any experience selling source code. Not so much freelancing, but just selling code you've already written.
I'm living in medium to high cost of living area in the USA. I'm sick of the full-time employment - layoff - job hunt - full-time employment cycle. I don't see the employer / employee relationship getting any better.
Looking for other ideas.
I was pretty excited to add storybook to my project, but after setting up my basic components like buttons and moving on to higher level components that render slices of state using selectors .... I have regrets.
Is it me or is it really hard to 'storybook-i-fy' react components using selectors? I found this tutorial on the Storybook site and it looks like the preferred pattern is to duplicate your store in your storybook file? That can't be right, can it?
Someone talk me out of taking Storybook out back and uninstalling it from my repo.
This opinion is based on reading people's thoughts on the internet and remembering what I was taught in my own time in school (where they essentially stumbled into teaching that humans were some kind of 'peak' of the evolutionary process)
I think people have waaaaayyyy too much faith in human intelligence and it's leading to the destruction of the world.
1- People keep thinking a scientist or a 'rich entrepreneur' is going to come up with some magic bullet to save the world, if we taught more about how other animals have tools, language, larger and older and more complex brain structures than us - People might realize it's similar to believing that dolphin will arise from the sea with some idea to stop climate change
2- we keep participating in these systems that have been created under the assumption that we are 'making progress'. I would argue that the minority of human invention represents real progress.
3- It leads to undervaluing the earth and taking it for granted. We worship ourselves as gods (literally). Almost everything you have wasn't invented by humans. It was the result of billions of years of selective design. Yet we teach as if things we harvest from nature were 'invented' by humans. In reality, we often have no way to produce or even of conceive of these things without a natural example.

Anyone else noticing their profile always shows their most recent posts/comments etc as if it's right before the server downtime?
Reloading the page seems to show my new content, but I have to do that each time.
Apologies if its just me. I think it might be but thought I'd ask the community before going off on a troubleshooting spree
Hey all, Iād like to grow some garlic at home in containers.
Problem is I live near Phoenix, Arizona USA so itās quite hot outside most of the year.
