I really don’t think most people will just up and murder or rape someone. People are more useful alive than dead and when they’re free vs oppressed. I don’t want to be an ass but I think you watch/read too much fiction. People are better than you think.

I guess that’s what I find confusing. Thanks!

This is so confusing. Which party, if any, was supporting those measures? How’d they get on the ballot?

Again, the article does not support your assertion. It seems you have been led on by the suggestion presented in the article. If you consider the statistics the author presented without that suggestion, you’ll realize they’re fairly unrelated data points that add up to… several interesting, but unrelated data points.

Furthermore, it’s a nation wide data set, right? So how does that break down along state lines? For example, did enough people stay home in Michigan to affect the outcome of Michigan? We don’t know based on the data presented in the article.

Now, would you like to discuss my critical thinking skills? If you have more data I’d be happy to consider it.

I don’t see how your link supports your assertion.

Four parties would be quite interesting. I think we’d need to do away with the first past the post voting system and have ranked choice instead.

I want to push back on your second paragraph because I don’t think it’s quite right. Humans are literally the only species where individuals will cooperate with complete strangers. Pick 5 random people from across the planet, put them in a space together, and they’ll cooperate.

Yeah, it might be too soon to tell. On one hand it’s good to tell the corporate Dems they can’t offer something slightly better than awful, but then empowering the people behind Trump seems so dangerous. People are being harmed, including new people who weren’t being harmed before. Will it be worth it? Will it work out at all? Nobody is guiding this, we’re just reacting. The right is supposed to be reacting, but they have the power.

If that’s true then yes, I think you should stop

Right, not the best. Would you change your strategy?

Remember, no matter how beautiful, morally righteous, or gratifying your strategy is, you should really look at the results

How’d that work out?

That’s literally how it works, dunno why you’re getting downvoted

I can’t help but detect some passive hostility in your response.

Not in the US apparently

I didn’t know sony made phones

Alright what phone are you using with a jack?

That’s not simple. That’s very specific, and you really listen for 10 solid hours? Also if you’re dropping 10 hour flight money… I feel like there’s a wireless solution in your price range

The battery? Mine last at least 8 hours and charge in two.

Okay, I’m going to ask… why don’t you use wireless?

Edit: some results are in, and the only reasonable answer is better audio quality, although that’s probably no longer true. The rest are fairly weak reasons.

Lol’d at the 10m extension cord though, thanks for that one.

Get an old leaf with a new battery?
