I mean… In my life I’ve gone from a (naive child that took my parents words for fact) theist, to agnostic atheist, all the way to whatever the fuck I am now. It’s all a matter of perspective.

You go deep enough into metaphysics you can trip yourself the fuck out.

If anyone wants to humor me, check out this seemingly innocuous video about a comic book villain. Let’s debate some metaphysics!

Met her in Copperbell Mines in FFXIV.

Link to the Past for being my first. Twilight Princess for the modern era.

Now there’s an idea. Let’s do the same thing with Trump’s voice. His base is stupid enough to obey.

Then. What. The. Fuck. Do. You. Think. Life. Is. Like. For. Your. Constituents.

These idiots are literally building their own gallows to be strung up on. Mind boggling lack of foresight.

No, no, no. Calm down everyone. No one has ever died from revolutions triggered by oppressed populations…

Because people don’t explain it with good analogies like that. That’s the first I heard it put that way, and I found it helpful.

Do fledgling communities typically START diversified? I would imagine it always starts this way. You invent the thing. You send it to your like minded friends, they send it to their like minded friends, etc. I feel like diversity inevitably requires time and numbers.

The problem is the spoiler effect. It’s a well documented shortcoming of FPTP.

We need to all ask ourselves what is the biggest impact I can make politically with the energy I am willing to spend. For me, energy spent voting should never be LESS than energy spent complaining about politics.

Perhaps you’re just seeing what you want to see. I don’t do mind games. Words mean what their definitions are. Anything else is opinion, not fact. Cite me what words exactly you are referring to that would be objectively defined as an “apology.”

The real problem is no one votes. It’s the bare minimum level of effort. It’s the participation trophy. They can do all that because we put them there with embarrassingly bad voter turnout. We spend more time complaining than actually voting.

All of those problems are the symptoms of an unrepresentative government, and a government tends to represent the people who vote for them. If no one votes, they’ll listen to the highest bidder.

So what do you propose? Do what instead of voting? Seems like the lowest hanging fruit to me. The left tends to win with turnout. The left tends to be more progressive and more conducive to evidence based problem solving. Fixing the parties at the primary level seems like the lowest effort solution for the largest pay off.

Encouraging voter apathy is counterproductive, unless you are going to propose we do something else that’s more effective for the same energy expenditure.

I truly believe that if every person who complained about politics spent as much time voting as they did complaining, we’d have a more representative government.

We complain about a government that is corrupt, run by the wealthy as if we’re not the ones who put them there. Inaction is an action. Why should they represent our interests if we don’t even vote? All not voting tells a politician is that you aren’t their constituent.

Let’s not bemoan specificity. If anything, we need accurate, fine details more than ever.

All the guy said what he disagreed with the portion of the title which stated that the special was “filled” with specific jokes. That particular claim IS indeed a percentage issue.

If you are taking the point further and saying that percentages shouldn’t matter, even 1% is too much, that’s a SEPARATE claim. It doesn’t address the original claim.

My question is a statistical inquiry. Your question is a bit more complex, I’m not even sure what that data would look like.

I was able to find this at least.

I’m lost, did they repeal HIPAA? Can I freely distribute PHI now?

How common are faithless electors?

No, it holds regardless. Your argument is the same as saying there’s no point in voting if you don’t win.

Your real problem is as I said, Primary Elections, where we have EXCEPTIONALLY terrible voter turnout. The primaries are where you choose your party representatives. If you are complaining about the General election, the fight was already lost.

Here is why you should never vote third party in a FPTP voting system. If you are not happy with your candidate choices, then we need to increase voter turnout in local elections, mid terms, and most importantly, primary elections. Primary elections are where you actually can change the spirit of the political parties, but hardly anyone votes in primaries despite them being arguably the most important.

If you want to safeguard your work from yourself, you’ll need to lean on someone you trust. Give the person you trust ownership and control over your cloud materials and set it up so you can contribute edits but cannot delete.

How might entropy be meaningfully reversed?

Even if it doesn’t, at minimum you will have more fun and have friendlier interactions. Ultimately, we have to remember we are voluntarily playing these games for our own enjoyment. If they make us miserable, we need to change the way we interface with the game or just stop playing them.
