Do digital store fronts play-through all the games, expansions, and DLC they list on their stores? This doesn’t seem practical.

Slavish devotion to Musk? Utilitarian ethics? Grock is just the average reddit user in 2013.

Iran’s government is historically weak. It’s allies and proxies have been routed in the region while American and Israeli jets bomb their country with impunity. The place is vulnerable to revolution and it would be nice to see feminists overthrow the Ayatollah.

However, it’s hard to get optimistic about revolution in the Middle East. After all, it was a revolution that created the Iranian theocracy to begin with. I’m also worried that a fallen Iran would mean an Israeli regional hegimon.

They’re a protected class because they’re singled out for violence because of their class. And it’s a real world problem not a logic quiz. Misogyny and misandry are not equivalent in reality the way they are in the dictionary.

How exactly would it boost moderates except in that once the extremes are eliminated, your vote goes to the moderate that you want rather than it failing to oppose the people you don’t want.

I think you’ve pretty much got it. Extreme candidates tend to get eliminated because they tend to be the least popular with other parties voters. RCV punishes this unpopularity. Also candidates with similar goals can work together, this advantage is obviously is going to be unavailable for people running from the fringe.

Just imagine a New York primary where two weak moderates were running against a progressive. The two moderates are almost working together because it’s likely that whoever looses will gift their votes to the other. Ranked choice candidates have often “teamed up”, with ads asking their supporters to rank the other candidate 2nd.

I think lots of Democrats have been thinking about how the primary in New York could have been different and this is the answer to that question.

Ranked choice voting tends to boost moderate candidates. While this is valuable in a general election, during a party primary it protects the status quo.

It’s hard for me to look at this as anything other than Schumer and Jefferies putting obstacles in the way of Progressives.

So, if the AI bubble pops, it’ll be a great time to build a PC

Any platform that’s advertising based is a propaganda outlet. Reddit’s function is to manipulate pubic opinion.

No different than Windows. Kids will use what you put in front of them.

When I was fist getting interested in computers I didn’t want to run DOS, I wanted to play Doom.

The oldest praying automaton we know of is from the 16th Century. This is basically that but with more capitalism.

I can’t help but notice how captured the Christian mind is, when even the return of the Savior is a business opportunity; a revenue stream. These people are already robots who can’t worship without a prospectus and a spread sheet.

Democrats will always do the right thing, after having exhausted every other option.

The ironic part is that they’re working with a government in bed with narco-cartels, something they ostensibly hate. And they can’t say they didn’t know, because it was central to the deal.

This would be the most ambitious engineering feat in human history. A project to rival colonization of Mars in expense and danger. All to connect one wilderness to another. Brilliant.

Ever notice how in court that pigs are always described as giant cowards? They’re constantly terrified of how a woman flails as she’s thrown to the ground or get PTSD when protesters shine bright flashlights at them.

I’m convinced that final exams at the police academy is a mock courtroom where the recruit has to testify “your honor, I was scared for my life”. Bonus points if you cry.

If you look closely, there appears to be a “Bren” type LMG on the floor and something that kinda resembles a “sten” smg propped up against the dresser. I suppose these are replicas or they’d been the in the headline.

My desktop is Fedora and I have a file server running Debian. I was doing updates to the Debian box through ssh and it took me way to long to figure out why dnf wasn’t working.

Just want to remind everyone that murdering people abroad is the most normal President thing Trump has done. Doing dirt in South America has a through-line all the way back to Madison Monroe.

One thing our author forgets about the Philippines and Ferdinand Marcos is that his authoritarianism was going on for years before the uprising. And that his son is the current president of the Philippines.

So I’m not sure it’s the great example of democracy over authoritarian cult of personality.
