dvoraqs,

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

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.

seen this post elsewhere? click for explanationThis post got banned from !memes for reason “Troll Posting” which is Very Disrespectful in my opinion. 😕 I mean this meme with full respect and love to my fellow community members and I was proud of the discussion and support it was creating. EDIT: POST RESTORED YAY. (Thank...

It’s not personal. You aren’t just a man, right?

dvoraqs,

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

dvoraqs,

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

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 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,

Rare in the US

dvoraqs,

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

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,

Nope, our election system doesn’t support it and actually has a spoiler effect because you end up tacitly supporting the other side by not voting for one of the two strongest parties.

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,

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.

dvoraqs,

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

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

dvoraqs,

Saying “that boy pussy” might not be about another person, so I’m also not sure this should actually be offensive. He might just be thinking about anal sex while he is in a vagina.

I’m making a big assumption though:

  • women can have a boy pussy since they also have an anus
dvoraqs,

Too afraid?

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,

Where does the judge say that? He orders him to report to jail, though, which might.

dvoraqs,

What’s the difference?

dvoraqs, (edited )

Sure, that’s true, but using Lego boys and Lego girls and just Lego people in general works too and is simpler, right?

I’m sure explaining that “Man is more like human in this case and not a gender or sex” is fun sometimes but ideas are evolving with more people and eventually it will just look too much like “Man is dogwhistle for subjugating women under men by calling them men”.

Is this bad connotation that more people will see over time worth holding onto the word Man as meaning everybody when we could just evolve our usage of language?

dvoraqs,

Why not Lego person instead of Lego man?

dvoraqs,

Election reform. When third parties are viable options (they are absolutely not now and just create a spoiler effect that works against your side), politics will need to shift to accommodate those interests. Push for Ranked Choice Voting and more!
