Are you salivating there?

Actions speak louder than words

Then turn it up to 11

I hope the right wing fascists didn’t also steal all of the references to the year 2025

Fast, normal, and slow are not clear either, I think. We see here that the “fast” term needs to evolve because it probably feels pretty slow now. Wattages are pretty clear reference points when users come to understand what they mean, especially over time.

When would supplying water be racist?

Could we say that it’s improving the US externally?

I agree with you, but I want to point out that this conflation is a direct result of our election system because it mechanically cannot support more than two parties.

Any other political interests need to merge together into one big entity that is nearly impossible to disentangle from the rest, so now maga = conservatism and we lose a lot of nuance in or political decision making and ability to be represented.

I’m pushing for Election Reform this election to move past First Past the Post voting.

Sure, that’s true, but using Lego boys and Lego girls and just Lego people in general works too and is simpler, right?

I’m sure explaining that “Man is more like human in this case and not a gender or sex” is fun sometimes but ideas are evolving with more people and eventually it will just look too much like “Man is dogwhistle for subjugating women under men by calling them men”.

Is this bad connotation that more people will see over time worth holding onto the word Man as meaning everybody when we could just evolve our usage of language?

Why not Lego person instead of Lego man?

Where does the judge say that? He orders him to report to jail, though, which might.

Why not advocate for another election system that will make third parties viable? Basically then, your vote should be towards preserving and improving our democracy.

The idea that free will is an illusion is becoming more popular in philosophy. We can be human and not exactly have free will.

Certainty is a dangerous thing when people lie out of self interest or from coercion.

I think you might be making a fundamental assumption that quality of each hour of the day is the same.

Maybe for a particular business it does not matter, they just need an employee on the clock to cover time that customers may come in, but I think many businesses have tried this out, and found that they get about as much from their employees in 32 hours as they do in 40 hours.

I think it helps to give people time to rest and deal with life so that they can be more focused and thoughtful when they are with you.

Voting in a First Past the Post election system is like this. If we can switch to another system like the Single Transferrable Vote, we can get better results.

There are other parties even in the US, but they are not taken seriously because they basically take away votes from the big party ideologically closer to them and so they are marginalized. Appropriately so given how FPTP works.

The election system is the real issue that needs to be fixed, and new finance rules around elections aren’t going to make enough of a dent.

Saying none just makes you clearly wrong, but I’d be surprised if not every guy has thought a little bit about what it would be like to have their own boobs.

Those honestly sound like better problems to have. I think that being locked into a two party system means that every issue is conflated to be good for one side and bad for the other. It builds a very us-vs-them mentality and boils politics down into a team sport.

The two large parties in power are actually coalitions of smaller groups and I think third parties having more support would actually be more reflective of how coalitions are divided internally. There is a lack of transparency in a 2-party system with what is happening just under the surface.

Politics is still a struggle for power, don’t let perfect be the enemy of good.

I think the game is supposed to feel difficult
