For those who forgot polls don’t mean shit and only voting matters:

Require Bill Gates and Warren Buffet to personally pay for national, comprehensive medical coverage for every American.
Chuck Norris is a Socialist he’s just too dumb to realize it.
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…
I remember an article where someone asked the developer, Billy Basso, why the PS5 version of the game was over double the file size, and he said it’s probably because the banner image that displays for the game was probably a bigger file than the game itself.
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.
Why you think the sea salty?
I have a theological question, maybe for you or just in general. My understanding is that the definition of faith is a belief in the absence of evidence. If you were able to prove God’s existence, would you no longer have faith, and by seeking proof are you inherently questioning your own faith?
In case you, like me, prefer to have depressing data in the form of a webcomic:
I want you to use my words against me. If there’s a Republican president in 2016 and a vacancy occurs in the last year of the first term, you can say Lindsey Graham said, ‘Let’s let the next president, whoever it might be, make that nomination,’ and you could use my words against me and you’d be absolutely right.

I appreciate the B99 reference, but the difference between animal products and the plant based alternatives is small and getting smaller by the day. At the end of the day, it’s that difference in enjoyment you get that you are weighing against supporting inhumane practices like the one in this post
Most people eat animal products because they enjoy them more than the available plant-based alternatives.
It’s all fucked, from the way we’ve bred them, to how we treat them while they’re alive, to how we kill them. To me, perhaps the worst part is we do it almost exclusively for enjoyment.
And even if they were treated well during their lifetime, the way we’ve bred them to produce enormous quantities of eggs, milk and meat would still result in short, horrific lives. It’s atrocious any way you look at it.
The data is all there, but there may be a slight issue with the formatting.
I used to make fun of vegans too, now I am one. Othering a group of people might seem like fun, but just make sure you try not to think too hard about their position. I think you’ll be ok though.
