5·4 days agoTy my heart is calmed
I’m all for standing up for science, but can we get someone there to fix the image? There is multiple things scientifically/physically wrong with it.
1·5 days agoNo, only 13% have the kind that specializes in your genitals. Where they have it and the other kind is not a part of the static. (However it’s pretty likely the numbers sort of self-balance and it ends up that about 13% of people have one of the herpes virus on/near their junk.)
Both kinds can infect anywhere on the body, they just each have a zonal preference.
I mean, it infects your nerve cells. That’s a tricky place for medicine for obvious reasons.
2·16 days agoSo I own stock in Rivian. I guess I don’t have any ownership in this comment company, eh?
31·24 days agoA voting system by itself will not unseat the two party system. You been proportional representation if you want lots of parties. I suggest Sequential Proportional Approval Voting](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sequential_proportional_approval_voting). Run a local referendums and work your way up.
Maybe you could categorize it under poor impulse control and poor understanding of social norms. But like, one incident doesn’t make a diagnosis.
Stun guns are useless.
Nope. Decades of people choosing Republicans is what got us here.
But again, change the system, don’t ask people to change. They never will.
If we remove the Republicans, things get better. If we remove the Democrats, things stay the same. It’s not a question of who is better, but who is worse. Until we change the voting and representation systems (hello Approval Voting and Sequential Proportional Approval Voting) picking the lesser evil is the only logical and moral choice.
Strategic voting can be an optional strategy under ordinary approval voting. If I don’t like either of the top two candidates, it’s still in my best interest to vote for the runner-up, if I hate them less than I hate the front-runner.
And look man, I’m honestly not interested in picking over the details. Any proportional system is better than single-winner. By miles.
Okay, actually though? Keep the mustache, drop the beard, and cut weight (fix your diet) and you would be killer. You look great now, but I can see an even hotter version of you in your future with just a little hard work.

While this complaint is technically true for SPAV, the likelihood that a popular candidate would fail to win a seat because everyone thought they were too popular is just… Not gonna happen. We already know from real-world AV elections that voters largely prefer to vote honestly, there’s no reason to think they would get more strategic when it gets harder to figure out the optimal strategy.

This is a problem inherit to nearly all systems designed to produce proportional results. I honestly can’t think of a worthwhile system that doesn’t have this problem. Anyway, the goal is not to make the parties take turns. It’s to make it possible for minor parties to win seats in the legislature. In the end, no single party would ever have a controlling majority, and they would be forced to form coalitions to pass legislation.

Hey! You come back here with that irrelevant commentary!
3·1 month agoYeah but the entire philosophy of Framework would be one phone construction standard and then you swap out the radio chip. Granted, there’s never been a hard phone standard, and the parts have never been designed for swapping. They would be the ones designing and commissioning these standards. Anyway, so I’m gonna be waiting very patiently.
I hope my phone lasts until we get a framework phone.
You’re going to have to get more specific if you want a response beyond “yeah man, it is 250 years old.”
