It’s sounds like the democracy we have is not the one that you want. That’s fine, it’s also not the one I want. Again, I’d prefer to be able to choose between a range of progressive candidates. But either way they are both still democracies and we should keep on asking for better systems. I disagree that what we have is a completely undemocratic system, that would imply that our system is similar to Russia’s or NK’s and it simply isn’t.
I also want more choices, such as provided by ranked choice voting. However to say that our elections aren’t democratic is far worse of an insult to the sacrifices of the labors of prior generations. Voters may still choose anyone that they want, and that ability to choose is better in our system than it is in many other places in the world. It’s not the best though, and I would like to see us get there. But it is not fair to say that our election (run by the government) is no longer democratic just because an independent 3rd party is now going to register a different person on the ballots than their initial polling suggested.
It would be great if we had a system like that, but we never have and it is not part of the constitution. Political parties have always been allowed to choose any candidate by any means that they want to put on their ticket. They could even choose 2 people, but that would be a bad idea. This will continue to be true as long as we have first past the post elections (and the electoral college). Ranked choice voting would solve some of these problems.
The democratic election happens when we vote for the president. The primaries are basically large state by state polls. No one’s ability to vote was stolen and everyone who votes is still allowed to write in a name if they choose (but that is akin to not voting given our current system).
It’s FFRF lawyers though. They are already working at well below the high salaries that people typically associate with lawyers. They have these jobs because they believe in these causes and are trying to help the public.
Besides, the plantiff wasn’t seeking to cash in on the situation, they just wanted equal rights/benefits to be provided for all religious groups, which it sounds like they got.
Agreed, this seems more approachable, mainly because it is a layout challenge (which is a large part of the fun in Factorio).
The inaccessibility of fission is that it requires understanding the fluid system idiosyncracies. Maybe that will be easier after the changes to that system that will happen with 2.0.
You say that likes it’s a bad thing, but you’re describing a “fan”, someone who likes a thing and wants to spend their disposable time, energy, and money on that.
I don’t say this to specifically defend Disney, but rather to push back on the hyperbolic language. As an example by absurdity: you could say that the RIAA pushes band, string, choir, etc classes in grade school onto kids to get them hooked on music so that more kids will be hooked on music as adults.
I think taxes will get passed to the renters in this case. I remember in econ 101 that for inelastic goods (such as housing) there’s a way to calculate how much of a tax will get passed to the consumer (i.e. Renter). The more inelastic the demand, the more the tax is paid by the consumer because they don’t really have a choice. Raising taxes would probably just drive rents up and possibly make more people homeless or forced to choose worse living options (e.g. Domestic violence would likely increase).
Maybe this approach is meant to avoid this problem. It probably creates other problems though. But better shouldn’t be the enemy of good. The problem needs to be solved because using real estate as investment vehicles is destroying the financial futures of young generations.
The same source shows that Biden is up 2% since the 3rd, and a bit more over the past 10 days.
That’s from July 3rd…
This one?

Show Biden behind, but not down to 20%. Why lie about that?
We know repubs project, a lot, so does this mean that repubs are illegally voting in droves?
As long as they do not interact with any other particles then yes.
Remember, in the photon’s frame of reference (i.e. It’s point of view), time does not progress. So it is created and destroyed in the same moment. Any distance traveled for any amount of time in our reference frame, happens instantaneously for the photon.
A fistfull of dollars
Are you completing them quickly and correctly? If you are, that might be the issue.
Try making mistakes and then undoing them, as if you mis-clicked.
He’s the Pope, he’s literally the head of the world’s largest group of people regularly practicing the lack of critical thinking.
Lizards are cold blooded though, would their pee be warm?
Yeah, good idea. This game take up a lot of time because it is amazing and there’s soooo much to do.
If you like the dopamine hit from making something better, or fixing problems with a system, then you’ll love this game.
I think there may also be a demo, but I don’t know if that works on the steam deck. That’s totally worth checking out, but set aside 4-8 hours for the first time you play it and I recommend setting an alarm to remind yourself to eat.
I think some people set speed run records on the steam deck. Obviously, the number of pixels is lower and the processor isn’t as powerful as a desktop, so a megafactory might not work well, but should be fine for tinkering with a design.
Let it sit overnight in the fridge (if you didn’t already eat it all). It will be milder tomorrow.
Wait, Santorum isn’t in congress though…
