Keep up the great work.
It's sometimes called face blindness but is also known by Prosopagnosia.
If it takes three paragraphs and your specific voting location to explain why your vote "technically" won't go to 45, maybe those people are right. The problem is that there are a LOT of people that don't understand the nuance and we have to plan for the lowest common denominator, otherwise people in actual swing states will see posts like your first one (lacking any explanation) and run with it. For them, a third party vote actually is helping 45.
Additionally, there's a decent argument to be made about total votes even though they don't "technically" decide the president. That number still matters and a lot of weight is thrown around with it. For all we know, this whole thing could hit the courts and having every advantage may be necessary to save our future.
Harder to do if you use Prime for other things. I've never watched a single Amazon video but I'm trying to source other purchase options locally so I can finally cancel the Prime shipping, which was saving our household money over the years. That said, if we can avoid it in the future we'll stay off Amazon.
I'm glad it's on the books at least. Have to start somewhere and set precedents otherwise nothing ever changes.
Thank you, someone finally looking big picture. I see a lot of folks talking about things like "it won't harm Threads" or "the federation is all about inclusiveness and joining together" and those people, while correct on paper, are missing the point.
Put simply, many instances would prefer not to deal with that unnatural influx, and that is their choice. In fact, the best part of the fediverse is not only that they CAN make that choice it's that they can UNDO it later if need be. I can't fault some of these smaller instances for being proactive in protecting themselves when few here really know what goes into running and moderating.
I used to use the narrator's voice from old "How It's Made" episodes to put me to sleep at night.
Millions of People Used Tainted Breathing Machines. The FDA Failed to Use Its Power to Protect Them.
Ask 100 random people on the street what regulatory capture is and you're not going to come close to half that do. Instead of "don't be surprised" how about we educate people or are least try to add to the discussion.
Exactly. This case likely will never make it past discovery given how much there is to lose.
Even if that were true, they should STILL try it. You do it to put the pressure on, to slowly move forward, put the idea in the news, on people's minds, etc. It may seem futile but we have to start somewhere.
How come we get the full post instead of just the image? Is this because of the crosslink method?

A slow car in the fast lane actually moved over with three cars behind him the other day. I couldn't believe it.
