We need to get involved at the primary level, not lament the choices we are left with when primary election turnout is hilariously low. I’d be surprised if the average voter even knows what a primary election is.

Because parties change power? And you end up setting precedent that is used against you? Not to mention the voting part is literally part of the job they are paid and elected to do?
Oh yes, I was speaking about the idea of guard rails and sidewalks in general, not this specific intersection. This particular intersection looks stupid for several reasons, including that sidewalk that cuts across without any markers to show a crossing. In fact I’d go as far as saying this isn’t even a crosswalk, it’s a sidewalk with an expectation of teleportation since there’s nothing painted on the road.
I’m not saying appeal to them. I’m saying stop antagonizing them so you can feel morally superior.
It’s easier to pass the legislation you want without telling the opposition they are morons if they don’t support it.
Wouldn’t things only be as infinite as your zoom level? Zoom out to solar system, zoom out to galaxy, etc?
There’s a difference between voting in a block, and literally passing/interpreting legislation to expand powers of another branch at the expense of your own.
If you vote in a block, you still have your vote. If you pass laws saying actually you can do whatever you want without a law saying you can, you just took your own vote out of the equation.

What are you trying to show me?
I watch the extended versions regularly, at least once a year. I disagree with everything you said. They are masterpieces. But, this is Unpopular Opinion, so bravo.
So you’d rather lose elections on principle than try and convince them to vote your way? Doesn’t sound like a smart play to me.
I mean, who would think that independent branches of governments would WILLINGLY cede their power to other branches of government?
Our government is completely populated with cowards who don’t even want the responsibility of the power of their positions. And our civics education is so poor that they know the only thing the masses pay attention to is the president. So everyone can collectively fuck off with their jobs and face no backlash.
Aren’t ellipses basically two joined halves of parabolas?
You might like to try Kerbal. You can see a parabola become an ellipse as your velocity and altitude reach a point where you miss hitting the planet on the way back “down.”
Maybe pedestrians shouldn’t be crossing busy roads unless at designated crossings. Additionally, if they are going to jaywalk, having the barrier would at least ensure they have some kinda bare minimum physicality in order to hop over the barrier.
And seriously, how often has a vehicle guard rail been the deciding factor in a pedestrian falling down the ditch?
I have a long term put for next summer.
AI is being trained on human output. Has anyone given thought to how deranged human output is?
I have Firefox but gave Brave a shot too. Works fine for me. I’ll use anything that gets around YouTube ads.
Every time I see one I burst out laughing, they look so fucking stupid!
Damnit, I’ve been saying constructed opposition. I had the phrase wrong!

I have a small circle of people I can spend time with nearly without limit, but yeah in general I avoid as much time around people as possible just because I find it a needless expenditure of energy.
Sounds like you have some form of autism. As a neurodivergent I feel like we need to be aware of the ways in which our natural mannerisms and thought processes can be misinterpreted by others. But I also feel like everyone is entitled to their feelings. They can feel violated by your words because they didn’t understand where you were coming from. You can feel hurt that people assumed the worst. It is what it is. You need to own your part in what happened, but don’t beat yourself up about it either.
If it was an honest misunderstanding, that happens. People who want to fight or be a victim are going to do that. People who want to understand are going to seek understanding.
