You can't get 60% of Americans to agree on anything politically, not in a large population sample anyway.

That number was specifically chosen so that nothing in the future would ever pass.

There's a reason they chose that 60% figure in the amendment proposal: if you don't really think about it, it seems reasonable (it's not even 2/3rds!) But in reality, in the country's currently fractured political climate, getting to 60% is near impossible. Hell, if a Presidential candidate carries a state with 55% it's considered a crushing defeat, so 60 is a crazy high bar.

It also removed the signature curing period, meaning that there is no second chance to get more signatures or any of the originals get thrown out. For example, there is a recreational marijuana initiative that people are trying to get on the ballot in November. When they turned in signatures, it was found that they were, iirc, 639 signatures short. Under the current rules (which will remain) they had 10 days to come up with what they needed. Last I saw, they had gotten over 6,000, so that's cool.

Dot.com bubble was web 1.0. Big centralized sites like Reddit are web 2.0.

Isn't he a Blockchain/crypto grifter as well?

Not least because paying younger people less means they can drive the pay for adults down.

It's like any kind of scammer, grifter, con artist, etc; at some point they're doing more work than if they actually just did their jobs.

No, neurotypical people have to think about actions before we take them. We aren't robots. I don't automatically get up from the couch, make dinner, and then eat it without thinking about it.

We get distracted and forget things, too. I went to the coffee shop the other day and realized I left my wallet at home.

My brother has extreme ADHD, and it's much harder for him to manage everyday things. He might hyper focus on something and forget to eat all day, etc, but we both have to consciously do tasks just the same.

Clapton has always been a piece of shit.

Republicans control the House.

However, when the Dems did recently control the House, they managed to pass the infrastructure act, and the inflation reduction act, two huge pieces of domestic legislation.

When the Rs had the House, Senate, and White House from 2016-18, they refused to pass any kind of infrastructure act, despite that being one of the cornerstones of the Trump campaign. The only thing they really did was pass a tax cut for the wealthiest Americans that raised taxes in the middle class and increased the deficit.

I guess it turns out that when you pretty much automatically port over so the Instagram users they treat it like Instagram.

To me that all felt very much like a Reddit thing. Somebody made a joke about that about posting old memes that was MAYBE mildly amusing, then everybody went ahead and killed the horse before beating it for 24 hours.
