And you're not going to get ranked choice voting without a new party.

Not true, parts of the US have ranked choice. You have ignored the divide and conquer point. You cannot have a new party before ranked choice without splitting the vote.

However, there are a lot of people who don't vote, and a lot of people who are unhappy about both parties.

Get those people to vote in democratic primaries. Green and Libertarian exist for people unhappy with both parties and they just help to split the vote and barely increase voter turnout. Republicans strategiests promote the Green party because it helps them win elections by splitting the vote.

There are Republican voters disappointed in Trump who still can't bring themselves to vote Dem because of all the propaganda they've put in their heads.

A new party won't break that propaganda, you have to break the propaganda machine. If a new party was a threat, they'd just spin up new propaganda and guess what, those people will fall in line and not vote for your new party.

A bigger problem is making it an actually big party, getting media attention, getting money to campaign with, etc. US politics runs on money. Because yet another Green or Libertarian Party won't be helping.

You clearly understand the difficulty of a new party. That's why democratic primaries are vastly easier. You need less money, you need fewer votes to win, you can operate entirely in a smaller market, you don't need national media. Once you've won, you've already eliminated a candidate you'd have to run against and won't be splitting the vote with.

You can't start a new party without rank choice voting otherwise you'll just split the vote. You'll be falling for the divide and conquer strategy. Vote for progressives in democratic primaries and support rank choice voting. Only once a vast majority of the country is solidly rank choice should talk of a new party even be mentioned.

I fucking hate this logic. Trump took over the Republican party through the primary without Republican party support. People need to vote for the progressives in the Democratic primaries and not wait for the Democrat establishment to endorse them.

Not the greatest guide. 2 and 3 shouldn't be causing overheating unless you are running a potato. I don't know the impact of 4, but I can't imagine that its much on modern PCs. 1 and 5 are the only real advice. Blocked vents and dust are the other two good points, everything else seems questionable. Tab overload isn't a problem anymore, both Chrome and Firefox manage and deactivate tabs you haven't recently used.

CO2 isn't dangerous to inhale until after 1000 ppm, so we've still got a way to go for in the inhaling department.

Using a laoptop keyboard around that many cats? The cage becomes essential to prevent it from becoming a cat bed.

Oh correct, good point.

I felt like they did it one more time, but I guess they only ever discussed doing it and never actually did. Given that it was a series opening event and how well it was used in The Best Of Both Worlds im surprised it wasn't used again until Generations.

She dropped out in Dec 2019 two months before the first primary. She was probably still on some ballots, but not really worth voting for.

I feel like people believe this because the next two movies were so awful. I've always felt like the force awakening was worse than the prequels. None of the good story telling from a new hope was transferred.

You didn't protest evil, you stepped aside and said, "I'm ok if the world gets more evil". Your "protest" did nothing to stop or reduce the genocide, it's gotten worse. You've made it less safe for people who actually want to protest the genocide. Your only action was that you feel moral superiority in your own mind.

What would you suggest for better open world games?
