I think the amazing thing is how much improvement you get from going from "choose one" to "choose all you like." (AKA approval voting). The ultimate goal is proportional representation, but approval is such an easy first step.

If we had Approval Voting people would be able to vote for third party candidates independent of what they do concerning major party candidates. And, their support would always be shown in the final tally on election day.

Probably the first time I've ever looked at a presidential lineup and simply hoped the two front-runners fall over dead as soon as possible.

They're finally getting rid of these guys because they're old and no one wants to take care of them. That's all.

[-] Bob@midwest.social 1 points 3 days ago

Yeah I'll agree with that. The love and respect ain't mutual though. They never give it back.

I mean, just break up the massive corporations. Capitalism requires seller competition in the marketplace in order to provide an incentive to drive down prices. If there are too few players, they can easily make unspoken agreements to fuck over consumers.

I very much wouldn't. I'm not interested in the kinds of things a young trophy wife is going to offer. I think being a rich megastar would be bad for my dating game, because it would attract all the wrong people.

Whiter than... Something really white.

I dunno what's so confusing. Clearly Jews invented black people in order to mess up society so they could, uhh... so they could... get a strike?

I think that's the funniest part. Like, as far as I know, the regular Assistant uses the same approach to handling data that buzzword AI things use, a neural network. But branding (and potentially internal company politics) is weird, so they decided to kneecap Assistant in order to make Gemini look better on release.

If you live in New Hampshire, I suggest you call your state legislators to support this bill. Approval Voting is a very small change that goes a long way! If you don't live in New Hampshire, send this to someone who does!

Sure, but we're taking the lump as a whole since they're all drawn as a group, which adds in "death to Israel" and "Hitler was right."

Okay, but like, the woman is still on the right side? Like, she's clearly not okay with the people behind her, so she's still got good opinions. So long as she follows through and also admonishes the protesters, she's right both times.

First off, yes, I'm getting rid of my account, but I decided to have a look around on the official app and

  1. It's hot garbage
  2. I'm subscribed to a bunch of subs I've never even interacted with before in my life. What gives? Did they just sign me up for shit without asking? They sent me emails after promising they wouldn't, they've lied about a lot of stuff, but every time I'm surprised they're such dicks for some reason.

Has anyone else experienced this?
