3rd party can’t really gain power with first past the post. We have to implement ranked choice or approval voting before meaningful 3rd party choices are viable.

You’re right, if you alone can’t fix everything, there’s really no point to trying.

We could ban them here. We’re in charge here.

For real. We need to ban these articles based on opinions from social media. They’re pretty much never representative of a real person’s opinion, and they’re mostly impossible to verify if they’ve been said by a person.

14-15 pounds is huge for a cat. 8-12 is average.

For me the problem is technicians who are arriving during some multi hour window of time.

Thanks for sharing the article! It was very informative. I’m definitely going to remember it as the Robert pattinson law though.

Everyone has different thresholds for action. When you’re talking about replacing your entire professional toolset, it might make sense that they were resistent.

100% agree. It’s just a huge slog of everything being terrible for Harry for the whole book. Absolutely the worst in the series.

Very well put! I’d also add that most people aren’t even really conscious that that’s the reason that they’re mad. There’s ways to express your negative opinion without stating it as a fact or downplaying the other person’s taste.

There were a couple of linked articles that the author wrote as a consequence of the information that was gathered. It also seemed to imply that there was more information coming, but I don’t really get why he hasn’t released everything yet.

As someone who finally started this show a couple days ago, I had a really great laugh when I saw this meme.

Are the first few episodes a bit slow? Watched the first episode and it didn’t click at all for us.

I think the way we consume news has gotten incredibly unhealthy. The rush to know things as fast as possible has lowered the quality of news, and mixing the news into your entertainment feed of the entire day might be weird for our brain.

I feel you though. There’s shitty things happening in the world and it doesn’t seem like it’s helpful to anyone for me to know about every little instance. I wish I could just get detailed stories for local news, and just get general stats for national stuff.

I do agree, but the thing that really defines your worldview is what you think the ratio of “good” to “bad” people are, along with how much you think people can change.

Personally, I think a lot of humans are largely interested in maintaining the status quo and avoiding large amounts of change. That doesn’t necessarily mean that they’re bad or evil or unredeemable, it just means that they’re influenced by the systems that we’ve built and take comfort in what is known.

Be careful of diving too far into cynicism. Why would you try to change anything if you think it’s impossible? Understand that the world is frustrating sometimes and give grace whenever you can when people make mistakes (as long as you make it clear when boundaries are crossed).

Why would Terraria staff ever crunch? Nobody except the utterly deranged would be expecting more content from them, and even then there would be no reasonable person who would need it sooner. There’s no deadline for them to crunch to.

People see a sample size of 30 and assume it’s instantly a bad study. A small sample size can still have considerable power depending on the experimental design and assuming that the sample is actually random across the target population. At the very least, it’s information that can be used to guide the experimental design of future studies.

Never mind, hadn’t scrolled down far enough, now they’re coming through.

First time I bought condoms, I also bought goldfish crackers.

Same, and I usually just browse TopDay.
