Ill put it like this, im serious enough about it that this is as much of it I’d ever say on the internet.

That would make more sense if this was their first time putting this bill forward, but it’s not. They’ve tried this before and none of the other Democrats could be chuffed to stand behind it. This isn’t new.

I bet dems would be more open to ranked choice if more people voted for third parties, because as long as the population believes they must vote Democrat or Republican and no one else, neither of those parties have any incentive to change. If lesser evilism stops getting people to vote for the two ruling parties, then there would be incentive for them to change. Short of that you’re relying on politicians to do the right thing instead of the profitable thing, which is a fools game.

So three of the more than 250 elected democrats are trying, not for the first time by the way, to get the rest of their party to take it seriously. Talk to me when more than 2% of the Democrats do something about it because otherwise its basically just a platitude.

Big fan of The Left Hand Path. It is many things to many people but my understanding is that within the left hand path comes the notion that growth is catalyzed by conflict. If all things align with your morals and situations you have reached stasis. Conflict challenges the self to overcome and grow. Thus I am able to look at a world full of conflict as full of opportunities to grow, and able to understsnd the fact that conflict will always eventually arise as the fact that we will always be able to grow.

The libs are gonna hate this because when they say harm reduction they mean reduce only the harm they expirence. When it comes to the sovereignty and security of people who aren’t them, they’d sooner vote for harm increases than tax increases.

To your point, Manon Rheaume played a pre season game with the Tampa Bay Lightning in the early 90s.

Consumer lead is hilarious. They going to blame us for not making them pay us more next?

Exactly. Its no coincidence we went from Occupy Wall Street and national level discourse about actual healthcare and UBI, to such debates as ‘is genocide okay?’ and ‘are nazis bad?’ Purposeful misdirection that in it’s staunch opposition to anything left of capitalism, created fascism.

Theres a special place in hell for mobile ad designers. They’re honestly borderline scams at this point.

Fun place to remind everyone that the elder scrolls six teaser video is over 6 years old now too.

I feel like many forms of anarchism exist on a spectrum that contains communism as well. I’m not the most well read but I wonder if anarchism with some kind of currency can be established, or maybe just some kind of interim anarchism somehwere in that spectrum as the mode of production changes.

Exactly the first thing I thought of after reading the post. OP sounds like they’d enjoy reading about syndicalism.

When their house sits on stilts so they can make bigger houses on smaller hills, they should probably see something like this coming.

Body positivity almost doesn’t exist for men. As soon as some asshole guy does something, its jokes about their body. Ive seen jokes about being short and no one cares as long as your talking about Putin or Tory Lanes, fat and small dick jokes constantly thrown at Trump. All of these are body shaming that will never be seen by the people they’re directed at but will be seen by pleny of others with those features.

If you believe the patriarchy doesn’t harm men and can’t be enforced or upheld by any gender, you have an incomplete view of what patriarchy is.

Ugh Ive heard them on 40m near me too. Even some 144Mhz nets will have someone fishing for more believers occasionally.

Courage the cowardly dog is how I describe the word Kafkaesque to people who didn’t read Kafka. At least the not bureaucratic context of that word, but im sure I could find an episide that has the bureaucratic context too.

I don’t really work CW, but good thing I can translate without trying to to keep pace. 73 friend.

Everyone says to talk about your problems but the second you do, you’re told that women either have it worse or how they have some worse problem. I’ve largely stopped talking about my problems because I’m never heard, just talked past or worse, made out to be the problem. The older I get the more reinforced my silence is because evey time I open up it’s used against me and this is just normal.

Meanwhile I’m expected to play therapist when someone else talks about their problems and I have to stop my autistic ass from telling them I really don’t want to hear about you. I can’t even get the silence I give returned to me.
