I didn’t know this was a thing. Thank fuck it is because I’ve been doing this manually for years.

No it isn’t

“I’d rather publicly expose myself in the public parking lot than allow people to mind their own business. It’s those evil wokists that are the real problem and exposing their genitals to kids”.

I hope it’s effective.

Nice

I’m about to repartition and reinstall everything. I’m very fucking tempted to drop this dual boot nonsense now that I have a good idea of what little I’d be losing.

Finally a good use of AI.

And now that they’ve made unions all but illegal, we’ll eventually return to that trusted tradition.

Either we settle things collectively and politely, or we settle things not so politely.

“Let’s open the closet to see how many people are celebrating this CEO getting shot, surely it can’t be that many”

The closet in question:

Nah, it’s not worth the price of sending them up there. Just compost them.

a lot of the people complaining on twitter are not even gamedevs and don’t know what Godot is

You’re probably right. Homophobes aren’t the brightest of the bunch.

The real issue is low info voters aren’t going to have a nuanced opinion like. It will be 0 or 10.

Yeah. For the reason I think each candidate should be given one page to explain their policy. And that page should be printed out and available to all voters.

For mail in voters it should be included with their ballot.

Far too often I’ve voted in local elections and tried to research the candidate just to find no information on any of them. It’s infuriating trying to make a choice when it’s impossible to know anything.

We are wasting our efforts arguing over the details of a voting system when voting reform isn’t even on the table.

Agreed. But we can dream.

I can see that happening, which is why I think approval is the best of them all.

And with that said, so long as not all the votes are given equal scores, their votes would still matter even if they don’t believe in 5 star perfection.

And IIRC, there is nothing actually stopping a STAR system from using a 1 to 10 point scale instead of 5, which would further help with that issue.

I’d take RCV over nothing, but STAR and approval are significantly better like the other user said.

Some reasons for approval

• Addition is the only math involved. So it is extremely easy to get live results during counting. It makes auditing votes extremely easy.
• It is dead simple to understand, so the least amount of voters will be confused by it.

A longer form explanation of some of the other stuff:

Mad respect. She has bigger balls than I do.

A few months back my boss asked me if I wanted to join him and the CEO for coffee. Apparently the CEO was doing a thing to see how the lower level employees were feeling about things. It’s not exactly a small company either, few people at the company meet the CEO.

I turned him down because I knew it would be too tempting to tell the man to his face that he is effectively a dictator, that the company should be employee owned, that they shouldn’t have the power to restrict where people work (90% of the staff can do their jobs remotely), etc.

And saying that shit would have probably lost me my job.

Don’t forget putting entirely too much effort into building contraptions with sticks, clay, wood, rope, etc. Somebody had to invent the forge bellows.

I don’t think the writers intended the Trill to be a an allegory for being trans. It was probably just supposed to be a cool sci fi stand in for being different. You can only show current, real life discrimination being non existent in the Federation in so many ways before you have to make up new things.

But it also doesn’t change anything. Trans allegory or not, it’s yet another instance showing how Star Fleet and the Federation value everybody, no matter if they’re different or how they’re different. Fuck the transphobes.

The light rail is even totally free, making it easy for everyone to get there.

I gotta say, we could do a hell of a lot better with that.

Edit: Switched to better map

Those tiny red and blue lines is all we have for a city of 300k people, and only just to those few neighborhoods. We could easily have way more, but we just don’t.

It should be given back to the natives, with reparations. I wouldn’t be surprised if they wanted to remove the faces and attempt to restore it.
