You're forgetting demographics. The elderly is primarily republican, whereas the 40 and under crowd leans heavily democratic.
Most people won't fight unless the battle is outside their door anyway, and the people who want war would probably need to cross state lines to accomplish anything, in which case they would be going up against the national guard and not just a bunch of hippies in hatchbacks.
Whoever starts the war, should it be started, will lose it, 100%. It won't even be a contest.
They're at the point of being scooby doo villains, all that's left is for them to say, "And I would have gotten away with it too, if not for you meddling leftists" as they're being arrested for treason.
Seems to my ignorant eyes that we could always somehow split the power received into more manageable units, even if it has to be splitted a million times, 🤷♂️.
You can farm lighting with a model rocket. Hell, the Empire State Building gets struck several times a year.
We just don't have anything that can capture and store that much power easily, and smoothing that power into stable, reliable energy would be harder than Matt Gaetz at a elementary school luncheon.
The pi hole doesn't by itself, but adding in ublock origin is typically enough to get the job done. I basically never see youtube ads outside of the sponsored sections and I guess I could use sponsor block for that
I wonder if in the societies where the myth is popularized if left-handed people tend to be more creative because they are told that by nature they are more creative?
To put it another way, are left-handed people more creative because of their "right brain dominance" or because they are nurtured in a culture that expects them to be more creative?
As a left-handed person and to all of my other fellow lefties, on this glorious day may I suggest that you find yourself a pair of left-handed scissors.
If you have never had a pair of left-handed scissors as a lefty you do not know what you are missing out on. It's $15 to experience the joy of cutting things easily without having that weird finger cramp after you are done.
I finally made the jump last year and I have been kicking myself for all of the years I've missed out on the joys of having left-handed scissors.
You could do better than that by simply sinking the Nina, Pinta, and the Santa Maria with a rocket launcher right as they reached the visible edge of the coast of Portugal.
Columbus returning with slaves and gold was the massive incentive for the invasion of the Americas or what should actually be called turtle Island.
If you had a little more tech than that maybe you could roll up with a warship and decimate a harbor or two and tell everyone that they are not to cross the ocean on pain of fiery wrathful death.
There would still be stories today of a massive Leviathan who destroyed the naval vessels of Spain and England and that is why people are only just now arriving in Turtle Island.
Might also be a good idea to give some advanced tech to the natives. At the very least, horses, carts, wheelbarrows, rifles and the ability to make gunpowder and smelt iron and make concrete.
The electoral college was a good idea when the tallys of votes had to be hauled to Washington on horseback.
We now have email and websites where information can be sent within seconds.
So there is no point for the electoral college other than tradition and for the control it gives elites, both of which do not benefit the populace and effectively silence their voices.

One thing I think is going on is that a lot of people in the western world have been raised to expect Armageddon sometime during their lifetime, and because they feel like they are on the right side they are attempting to accelerate that Armageddon because they think that happiness and Paradise are just on the other side of it.
It's like being told as soon as you finish this chore you're going to get a tasty treat. If you really want the treat you're going to work harder and faster to get the chore done sooner, right?
There's only one line in the Bible and I don't remember where it is that cautions people against attempting to accelerate the end of times because they don't really know what it's actually going to be like and they're only leading themselves to their own destruction but just like everything else in the Bible, because every single word is supposed to be important, that warning has just slipped through the cultural cracks.
It's in the realm of "Self-Fulfilling Prophecy" at this point. If God won't do it, we'll just make our own Armageddon with internet greed and hypocrisy.
I have been working a very labor intensive job for about 3 months now and have lost enough inches on my waist to go down two pants sizes yet my total weight when I go on the scale remains around the same.

One of the main contributors of microplastics in the environment is runoff from our laundry. I wonder if there is some sort of filter that we can put on our laundry machines to capture those microplastics so that they can be contained
