Jokes on you, my wife’s Grandmother will click on any and every link she sees.

Ya he’s giving off some real Libertarian/FrEe MaRkEt/whatevenistheageofconsent vibes

That there was some confusion whether it is a purple monster that eats people or a monster that only eats purple people.

I’m actually the opposite. I’ve tried using Lemmy and I still do to an extent but I dunno. I love the feel of kbin

It’s a name he adopted while living in Paris, according to Greg Sestero.

Except nowhere is homogeneous. There are red voters that live in cities and there are blue voters that live in small farming towns. Right now they don’t have a voice because they are separated into districts that are overwhelmingly red or blue
but get rid if the College and now suddenly your vote is worth just as much as your neighbors, regardless of where you live.

The only podcast I listen to with any regularity is Knowledge Fight. Listening to a couple of dudes dunk on Alex Jones is cathartic.

Except using the popular vote means that States wouldn’t decide who was president like they do now, the people would.

Under the current system if I vote Red in Chicago I just completely wasted my time. Cook County is so blue that I don’t have a voice. Get rid of the Electoral College, however, and now my vote worth just as much as everyone elses.

People seem to think that if we moved away from the College that the population of a blue state will 100% vote blue or a red state will only have red votes. It’s just not true. The northern half of California or the southern half Illinois votes way different than their counterparts.

The Electoral College is an outdated system designed for a time when the US had relatively low Literacy and the public couldn’t be reliably counted on to be informed. There is no excuse for it nowadays.

I don’t know anything about programming but there are semicolons all over the constitution and I think you need those to code stuff.

What do you mean? The second Ammendment says “The right of the people to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed.” That’s all there is to it. There isn’t any other part of that Ammendment. It doesn’t have a single other word as a part of it. Don’t look it up.

Right, but what they are saying is that the relevant law does not address LGBT people either.

When Pritzker first got elected I was incredibly dubious. After all, we already had Trump as President and here is Pritzker, another hotel magnate, claiming he could do great things for Illinois. I have since been pretty impressed with everything he has done.

The time warp only works if you take a jump to the left.

They aren’t going to find out. All the people are going to learn is that it is “ThE wOkE LeFt” causing all of these problems with their radical agenda.

Mom come pick me up. I’m scared.

I actually had this game pre-ordered a long while back but with the huge upheaval around the developer I canceled it. I haven’t played any other games by this developer but I like the concept art. Still, I remain ever apprehensive.

I also thought it was hyperbolic until I saw the source. Apnews, along with Reuters, are my gold standards for news. If they are reporting it then I believe it is very real and very serious.

I think you kind of missed the forest for the trees here. Those 20 command lines that run in the background will take the same amount of time to complete each task as manually entering them, sure. But the benefit is that you take less time to overall because I don’t care how fast you are with typing, you still have to enter 20 commands instead of just the 4 buttons.

Away from the edutainment and tech based stuff, I like Decino. Just a guy that really likes playing old school Doom. He doesn’t do the whole exaggerated reactions or yelling or anything like that and I don’t think I’ve ever heard him plug any kind of sponsor or product. It’s great to put on in the background or just watch casually if you’re into it

The fluoride in toothpaste creates fluorapatite in your teeth which is harder than your regular enamel and more resistant to acids.

There is no way I could handle Subnautica in VR. I was scared enough playing normally.
