If you would prefer a socialist party candidate the most logical choice is to pick whatever Democratic/Republican candidate is most willing to enact voting method reform, e.g. ranked choice voting.

Because voters are incentivized to pick one of two main parties in the current method, third parties are essentially guaranteed never to get off the ground.

It is ironic, but if this was the case we would probably just see the Republican party shift to be more moderate and collect more votes. Not a bad thing IMO. Cultivating extremism is bad for democracy.

Upvoted for the honesty

Probably he’s on a diet and his wife won’t let him eat more than 1 order of meatballs.

Also he tricked the ents into walking past Isengard so that they’d see how many trees Saruman whacked and take an ax to him instead.

Interesting. This kind of bill is for costs incurred as a result of the rally rather than for directly using the facilities, e.g. paying for an increased police presence to control protestors. Seems like candidates are not really obligated to pay for this.

*You can only teleport out to where you teleported in from.

Does this mean you get dropped into outer space if you stay inside for more than checks notes ~4 minutes?

Is it feasible? Sure. The limit on this kind of calculation is basically how much detail do we need to add to the environment (i.e., can we make the model) and how high resolution does the sound wave need to be (can we calculate it given finite compute resources).

To get something that roughly sounds like a rock? Not difficult to model or calculate, if we make some reasonable assumptions.

The sound of a wet towel thrown in the water during a hailstorm? Uhhh that’s a tough one.

Simulating sound uses classical mechanics governed by the wave equation, which is well-understood. In terms of CPU power, the calculation to propagate a simple sound wave (wavelet) could probably have been done on a TI-89 calculator from high school.

These comics seem to age surprisingly well.

The idea is checking out with more than a basket of goods is really inconvenient. And I agree, it’s much slower and there’s no space for it.

If you’re not afraid of the legal system why not slap a Disney logo on there too?

Why do you think the organic label for food means nothing?

“All those moments will be lost in time, like tears… in rain”

How about an app that makes calls, but you have to dial like you would with an old rotary phone.

If you make a mistake with the rotations it just connects you to a random one of your contacts.

Probably he’s still been saying that stuff but not enough ppl are left on Twitter to realize it

thank you EU!

How does grouping multiple communities on different instances work? Do we need a special-purpose kind of community, like e.g. the meta-reddit functionality? Seems complicated but very needed atm
