dvoraqs,

Do you want to teach and encourage them to give up so quickly in the face of long-lasting international issues? That’s what you are doing and I hope they see that. This Isreal and Palestine thing did not start in October.

Please redirect your attention to election reform. Fix the system.

dvoraqs,

You responded to a post that mentioned Trump in the last paragraph

dvoraqs,

I bet it’s because there would be a lot of heat, especially when the tank’s engines need to be more powerful to move all of the added weight.

dvoraqs,

I think you’re discounting the heat already being generated even without the water. Water is a good conductor of heat, so if there are any hotspots the crew normally just stays away from, that would spread everywhere, including to the crew. The heat would also accumulate since the rest of the tank would be acting as an insulator except on the outside surfaces.

dvoraqs,

I guess you can be proud of something others see as shameful.

dvoraqs,

To break free from the 2 party system, we need to improve our election systems to allow for it, and to do that we need political advocacy and action. Ranked Choice Voting at least.

dvoraqs,

I think you could swap standards with bar and get a few extra points

RFK Jr. Swears He Wasn’t Thirsty for Fitness Influencer on TikTok (gizmodo.com)

The reply happened in Sept. 2022 on Tyler Idol’s account, which she now has pinned to her page, and was unearthed by some right-wing dork on X Wednesday. The reply is now deleted, but according to saved recordings, it simply stated “Wow” and was accompanied by two smiling faces with hearts emoji. As for how you can tell it...

dvoraqs,

You’ll get used to it, and then maybe you’ll realize how sloppy the other way is instead.

dvoraqs,

Why not advocate for another election system that will make third parties viable? Basically then, your vote should be towards preserving and improving our democracy.

dvoraqs,

The idea that free will is an illusion is becoming more popular in philosophy. We can be human and not exactly have free will.

dvoraqs,

Certainty is a dangerous thing when people lie out of self interest or from coercion.

dvoraqs,

I’m not surprised at an SUV. If it was a older Prius or smart car, however…

dvoraqs,

That part is not obvious to me. Care to enlighten us?

dvoraqs,

Voting in a First Past the Post election system is like this. If we can switch to another system like the Single Transferrable Vote, we can get better results.

Biden uses feisty State of the Union to contrast with Trump, sell voters on a second term (apnews.com)

That was one of the more interesting SOTU addresses I’ve seen. Personally, I think he said most of the things that needed to be said, and he said them reasonably well. I’m sure he’s going to get some flack for attacking Trump directly (though not by name), but I was frankly glad to see it. Doing otherwise makes it seem...

dvoraqs,

There are other parties even in the US, but they are not taken seriously because they basically take away votes from the big party ideologically closer to them and so they are marginalized. Appropriately so given how FPTP works.

The election system is the real issue that needs to be fixed, and new finance rules around elections aren’t going to make enough of a dent.

dvoraqs,

Saying none just makes you clearly wrong, but I’d be surprised if not every guy has thought a little bit about what it would be like to have their own boobs.

dvoraqs,

I think the game is supposed to feel difficult

dvoraqs,

This is why we need to get past First Past the Post election systems.

It only supports two main parties because votes for other parties are spoiler votes that actually take away from the big party they are most aligned with. The two parties become big tent parties that don’t need to align that closely with the people in it.

dvoraqs,

For the story to make sense, I’m guessing that the person you’re responding to meant OG Oculus or OG Rift as in the development kit.

dvoraqs,

Most of history is made up of stories.

We can tell different stories of history and many even conflicting ones can be true, but they don’t all have the same weight in their impact to the course of events.

dvoraqs, (edited )

Love is multiple things and is still meaningful for us.

Theoretically I can see somebody not being attracted to guys, as in masculine people, or just males, but still being turned on by penises as we see in OP’s example. That person might not call themselves gay since they wouldn’t want to be in a relationship with any guys, but might be interested in a hookup with a trans woman who still had their dick.

Maybe their is some nuance in what being gay is or there is room for another descriptor for this phenomenon.

Edit: reading below, this person might be hetero-romantic and homo-sexual.

dvoraqs,

If Biden wins again, that would put pressure on Republicans to reevaluate how they’ve been operating.

That might mean doubling down, but it could also mean changing by shedding their most extreme views and candidates, and moving back towards the middle, or just eventually imploding and having another party take its place.

dvoraqs, (edited )

It’s how the system works with First Past the Post voting. It doesn’t support more than 2 viable candidates. We need to reform our election system.

dvoraqs, (edited )

The ability to vote and participate in a democracy is one thing of many that people have fought for, yes, so it should not be taken for granted. Ignoring it is throwing away the power you and everybody else who can vote have to influence how things will be in the future.

dvoraqs,

Our version of democracy is flawed, yes, I agree. We can talk all day about what is working against us and how it looks like it won’t win.

What I’m advocating for, though, is participating despite that. We need learn to work with the system as it is because there’s not much time to change it. Election reform, though, is my top priority going into the next presidency.
