Lol, Do you really think the law will apply to them?

Try it I say

Instance checks out \jk

Ah yes let’s try to stifle Chinese innovation by … checks notes … expanding our surveillance state. Usually we are the ones calling China a surveillance state, but it’s fine(it’s not) once we do it.

How conveniently timed, right after Trump’s EO to supposedly reduce medicine costs. Definitely no distractions or collusion there.

Because the media uncritically parrots the companies PR talking points and then it’s suddenly the accepted terminology.

Sir, this is a retirement home congress. They might break a hip.

It is vital that the peasants consumers use our AI to keep the Lords’ Shareholders’ happy.

Ah yes, the coloring on protestors’ signs, this is worse than a president wearing a tan suit. I’m so triggered.

Lots of these streams don’t show the commercials and instead just have blank airspace when the commercials are airing. But I don’t know if that applies to the superbowl streams though since some people like to watch those commercials.

It works that way for electric cars. You won’t find many BYD electric cars in the US, yet they are the top-selling battery electric vehicle manufacturer worldwide. Only thing stopping them from doing the same with this, is that it’s a tensy bit tougher to gatekeep information than a car.

I’d guess it’s because of the shape of the car structure. In a pickup bed the blast goes up. But if it was in a car or suv all the energy would go horizontally out the windows since there’s a roof stopping it from going up.

You’ve got to remember that these are just simple voters. These are people of the land. The common clay of the new West. You know… morons.

For context, the Fifth circuit covers Texas, Mississippi, and Louisiana.

It is literally ~60%-40% as of right now. I would hardly call that a crushing blow.

What is a pubnix?

Edit: Short for Public access UNIX apparently.

No, your not really wrong, it’s just the tone that comes off as blaming others for their failures.

There’s a place for that but it is IMO not really on a public forum. Praise in public and criticize in private is good life advice. Maybe your tone is unintentional due to the nature of internet text communication.

To me, it seems like you could stop and realize that making sound financial decisions isn’t as big of a factor to most people as it is to you. There is more to life than worrying about money.

Corporate media does hyperfocus on that but I don’t think it helps make our (North American) society happy. It distracts us with escapism and temporary happy emotions.

Politicians passing laws based on things they don’t understand?

aka virtue signaling

A vote for an independent candidate is a vote for Trump.

No. It is a vote for an independent candidate.

That is a good humorous example of a first past the post voting system and it flaws. I like the bit where Bobby is a pigeon.

In any democratic zero-sum system, removing votes for one party passively enables another.

No, actually not in any democratic system. In our current first past the post voting system, it is applicable (minus the electoral college). But (ranked choice voting)RCV or (Score then Automatic Runoff)STAR based systems the outcome would likely be different in some cases. That scenario also ignore the most common scenario where people simply don’t vote. In your scenario, everyone is required to vote. In real life, of the 25 bobby votes some would sit out, some would vote third party and some would vote for a ‘major’ candidate like Biden or Trump.
