Here’s a good follow up article on Curtis Yarvin. He’s a “new right” blogger and dot com bro who was funded by Peter Thiel and cited by JD Vance. He says the quiet part out loud and believes that we need to return to dismantle democracy and return to a monarchy ruled by people like him.
Awesome. I can’t wait to hear you explain why Bernie syphoning away Dem votes and handing Trump a second term would have been great for our country.
Republicans are just butthurt that Hulk and Kid aren’t carrying it for them
Sadly, encouraging people to vote goes against the Republican platform, because a higher voter turnout would absolutely demolish them.
Like it or not, elections are a popularity contest, and having Taylor Swift and Caitlin Clark showing support for Harris is a good thing.
Even if you don’t know who they are, they’re big names who will turn out voters.
And if you think having a platform disqualifies you from weighing in on politics, then tell that to Kid Rock and Hulk Hogan lol.
He’s pandering to his right wing sycophants and pushing the boundaries of free speech on his platform so that when he inevitably faces consequences, he can immediately play the victim and say “see, I told you this is what the left would do!”
Normally I’d say don’t give him the attention, but he’s a Nazi sympathizer, and those motherfuckers deserve condemnation.
Exploitation of labor is a huge problem in many industries, but the amount of desensitizing horror and PTSD that occurs in slaughterhouses and meatpacking plants is on a whole different level.
The one saving grace for me this election cycle is watching the Republicans panic over some dumb shit the guy they nominated says. You let this raccoon inside, don’t be surprised about all the garbage everywhere.
They don’t give a shit about your stolen items, and 9/10 times it’s a complete waste to even contact them over “petty theft”, regardless of how valuable the item/s are to you.
When I was in college, my apartment got broken into. The cop that came when I called was less than helpful. Some highlights:
Wow that actually looks really cool. Now, how much do I owe you?
This take will probably be unpopular, but FWIW I agree with you. I rarely use the community feature and I don’t care about the trading so personally I would like it if they just stuck with what they do well.
“And here is my hard drive dedicated to game launchers and storefronts.”
Skeet? Really? Lil Jon’s “Get Low” came out 22 years ago.
Now if they had said “Skibidi” that would be a different story.
Yes, but as you can see, growing plants to feed animals and raising them is a very inefficient use of land.
Well, livestock are definitely a major source of animal contact outbreaks, but I do agree with you that wild animals displaced from their environment as a result of land use change is a factor as well.
And what is the biggest contributing factor in land use? Oh, it’s animal agriculture again…
STAR, or Score Then Automatic Runoff, differs from RCV in that instead of ranking the candidates in order of preference, you can assign a rating to each, out of five stars. All of the stars are added for each candidate (score), and the ones with the fewest stars are eliminated (automatic runoff), then the scores are added again, another runoff, etc.
So say you love candidate C, you dislike candidate B, and you hate candidate A.
So the biggest difference is that in the initial scoring round, your preference for candidates other than your first choice are considered. Check out this video, which gives a good breakdown of voting systems and how they account for spoilage: https://youtu.be/oFqV2OtJOOg?si=8sLYiYpA7EnOt94i
I learned a lot about home maintenance and handiwork from my dad, but then I started looking stuff up and realized he’s been stubbornly doing a lot of projects the wrong way.
I’m a fan of STAR voting myself, but anything is better than the first past the post system we have now.
Good, force them to vote on it so we can see who supports genocide.
