There's a saying that history is written by the victors. Be careful with thinking too far in the future.

100% this. Not only that, but if you quit you can't apply for unemployment.

What the fuck are you talking about? They had a job doing whatever random thing they were paid to do. Keep airplanes from falling out of the sky, checking water quality, doing accounting.. The right always politicizes government jobs. For example, they under funded the 2020 Census in areas that had left leaning growth. That directly impacts the number of congressional seats.

Based on tradition, this Cherokee prayer should be posted in schools. It's only right to follow thousands of years of tradition.

The law sounds reasonable. I'd argue that it provides additional definition to defamation laws. Deep fakes are meant too fool people into thinking the victim made a statement that they did not. That almost seems like the definition of slander.

The only real reason is lack of ranked choice voting. With the current system a choice is made that is either a win or a loss. This creates a binary system of Republicans or Democrats. Ranked choice allows for an automatic fall back. If you vote for a third-party candidate that you really like under ranked choice, this is not a protest vote. If your candidate doesn't win you provided a fall back to a larger party candidate.

I've seen an old list of Adobe alternatives, but do you know of a recent one? I prim use Divinci Resolve over Premiere for video but have less familiarity with others. I find Gimp a bit hard to use. Mostly the controls don't feel natural for some reason.

Misinformation played a much bigger role than than a lot of people are willing to admit.
