Somehow, all these pleas on behalf of the downtrodden never include us actually making any sacrifices or change, just the rich.
Weird how it's easy to agitate for change when it involves zero sacrifice on your part.
Globally, they still are. Almost half the world doesn't have one. And children still lose their limbs mining the cobalt etc.
I guess the question could be better phrased as "and what are you personally giving up to ensure that as many people as possible are fed?"
Check at the state level. A few states have introduced ranked choice, your state may have someone in the mix trying to make it a thing where you live!
If people vote in the primaries for candidates who support ranked choice voting, then yes.
I love catching games with friends in a crowd of strangers. Dozens of folks who don't know each other mostly watching and yelling for the same team, just lovely.
Blorbius scrunklius is too perfect. After some 20ish rereads, I still have trouble supressing a seemingly involuntary giggle.
Last season was such a pleasant surprise...
Why could it not replace an engineer?
The previous limits of technology exploded less than half a decade ago, seems wild to assume that's the end of that kind of growth.
Why?
A half decade ago we would've laughed at a machine passing the Turing test...
I wish I could opt out of those messages. On streaming platforms that should be doable! (I really hate spoilers.)
To quote Greg Giraldo "Really? Is that good? How much worse could your real face look than that clown mask you've had welded to your head?!?"
(For those who don't know him, criminally underrated dead comedian at Joan River's roast.)
A casual reading of history will confirm that's kinda been our modus operandi for, uhhh, ever.
Unless it's about gun control. At that point, it's a fact of life that only America has to deal with. Yay exceptionalism!
It's beautiful. Just stays on point, doesn't let Miller's yelling distract him and keeps asking the right question.
I love how these fucks are happy to throw out numbers as long as there are no follow up questions.
That's such a cool thing for the mayor to do! That's quality public service.
I mean, Obama was just... Damn. One of a kind, one hell of an orator.
Republicans: Cancel culture is ruining the country!
Also Republicans: You endorsed Harris? Kiss your Republican record sales goodbye!
Yeah, her war chest is pretty huge so a few thousand bracelets on the assumption Seift would eventually endorse seems pretty reasonable.
So YOU'RE why Clinton made that terrible Pokemon Go to The Polls and vote joke!
Almost everyone agrees there should be more compromises in politics. So I'm curious, how would that play out?
While I love the policy debates and the nuances, most people go for the big issues. So, according to the party platforms/my gut, here's what I'd put as the 3 for each party:
Democrats: Abortion rights, gun control, climate change.
Republicans: Immigration, culture war (say, critical race theory in schools or gender affirming care for minors) , trump gets to be president. (Sorry but it really seems like a cult of personality at this point.)
Anyway, here's the exercise: say the other side was willing to give up on all three of their issues but you had to give up on one of your side's. OR, you can have two of your side's but have to give up on the third.
Just curious to see how this plays out. (You are of course free to name other priorities you think better represent the parties but obviously if you write "making Joe Pesci day a national holiday" as a priority and give it up, that doesn't really count.)
Edit: The consensus seems to be a big no to compromise. Which, fair, I imagine those on the Right feel just as strongly about what they would call baby murdering and replacing American workers etc.
Just kind of sad to see it in action.
But thanks/congrats to those who did try and work through a compromise!
Having large numbers of people starve to death seems like a pretty damning indictment of a system. But I dunno, maybe I'm overly attached to food?
Listened to Billie Jean while cleaning, wondered what the all time playlist might be.
I imagine Kanye, Clapton, Pink Floyd, James Brown, Ike Turner all make the cut with MJ but I'm curious what Lemmy comes up with!
Kind of amazing. In my head this is basically saying "we can't protect people in parts of downtown Vancouver and rather than change that, it may just be easier to abandon the area.
So, what do we do now? Keep the lotto line, see if Lindholm can centre Mikheyev and someone (like Hoglander?) Keep Miller, Brock n Suter together and see what Petey/Lindholm/Mikheyev can do?
I'm just so excited.
Original Joe's at Cambie and Broadway used to be great for this.
Trying to think of a bar with a window view of a busy street on a hill...
