The two-party system. Regardless of where you live, if it’s under a two-party system, you probably agree that it sucks.

Assuming we’re starting from “choose one” single-winner elections, you need to first switch your elections to Approval Voting. This would make it always safe to vote for your favorite candidate, and the full support for every losing candidate would be reflected in the vote totals. This will weaken the two party system, but no single-winner system can dismantle it.

After that, switch as many single-winner elections to multi-winner as you can (like city council or a legislative district) and use Sequential Proportional Approval Voting to award seats. This will enable minor party candidates to get into office after the major ones, and the seat totals will look a lot closer to the vote totals.

A few places already use approval (Fargo and St. Louis) and a few places are just begging for SPAV (Cincinnati City council).

What is this movie?

Can I get a link to that video? There’s so much trash in the results when I went looking.

Booting from a full power off state?

Yeah I agree, but that’s the place where the expert I know shared their knowledge. If I had a text based source I would have used that.

Almost certainly not.

If we put in a mag-lev system that averages 250 mph from station to station, an overnight sleeper train across the country becomes extremely attractive.

Aight, I’ve been told different from other folks who have deployed.

Anyway, this conversation is way off the rails. The point being that, if you consider the original intent of the 2nd amendment to be the only thing protecting a citizen’s access to firearms, it would be much more correct to say the standard issue rifle would be the most protected firearm than any other.

Nobody actually uses burst fire. Does the Spear have burst fire? I haven’t looked too closely because I seriously doubt they’re ever actually going to make it the standard issue rifle.

The US military would one million percent prefer the population be trained and familiar on the standard issue rifle than on any other platform. (Arguments of the quality training put aside)

What? No it wouldn’t? They hand grunts 30 round magazines for a reason. They used to give them 20 round magazines for the same rifle. Minimizing administrative tasks is good for your soldier.

Which arguably makes the AR-15 one of the most protected guns, if we’re using the wording of the second amendment as the only justification for firearms rights.

Popular encrypted messaging app Signal is facing criticism over a security issue in its desktop application.

Emphasis mine.

Technically no, but it’ll never happen.

The way the parties nominate candidates for president is an absolute mess, but the nominations aren’t official until the parties hold a closed convention with delegates who vote for candidates to be the nominee. Back in the day these delegates used to actually be the people who decided who got nominated. These days they’re more like a ceremonial role, with a lot of them (I think) being required to vote in line with the way people voted in their state’s primary.

Anyway, I’d have to look it up to be 100% sure, but I’m pretty sure enough delegates have some kind of autonomy that it’s possible they could nominate someone other than Biden. Who they would end up agreeing on…? Heck if I know.

Once you get used to the idea of chick dick, well, it’s just a dick on a chick.

See here’s where this analogy is perfect. Sometimes a bicycle is the best solution, just like how sometimes a microcontroller is the best solution. You use the tool you need for the job, and American product design is creating way too many “smart” products just like how American town planning demands too many cars. Bring back the microcontroller! Bring back the bike!

Hey now, I made no comment on the offer to suck the girl’s dick. It’s girl dick, there isn’t much interesting to say about it.

A donkey is ill-equipped to give even a passable blowjob.

Did Disenchantment get better after the first season, because that first season was rough.

Is Pluto also the name of the underworld like how Hades is both the god and the underworld?
