DC Campaign to Submit Over 40K Signatures for Open Primaries, Ranked Choice Voting
  • Good news! RCV already solves that problem

    If Bernie didn't get enough votes to win, the votes for him go to the voters' second choice candidate (Biden – few voters would want Bernie-Trump). If those combined votes are enough for him to win, then Biden wins in that state. In RCV, Trump would only win if people actually preferred him over Biden

  • Solve a puzzle for me
  • Lmao so he's just swimming back across the river with the goat!

    Someone should try animating these solutions. I'm picturing close-ups of the goat wondering why the man has lost his mind

  • Solifugae - aka. Camel spiders became an Internet sensation during the Iraq war of 2003, when rumors of their bloodthirsty nature began to circulate online
  • I knew a guy who knew a guy who had a friend who was in Iraq around the same time and he said his friend spotted a camel spider running toward them on its hind legs. He unloaded on it with a SAW and blew off a few limbs but it still didn't die!

    -a totally true story, I'm sure

  • Trump says going to jail for gag order violation would be a 'great honor,’ compares himself to Mandela
  • This sounds like Reflexive Control. They're testing the waters to set the groundwork for him being locked up. He wants it to not shock his supporters back into sanity.

    In other words, he thinks he might actually end up in prison.

    ...finally

  • United Ireland would cost €20 billion for 20 years, new study finds
  • (Please forgive me if this is ignorant. I don't know much about Irish politics)

    Doesn't the Republic of Ireland have a lot of multinational businesses headquartered there as a tax dodge?

    Perhaps they could make the mega corps pay their fair share of taxes and use that to fund reunification

  • The year is 2001, what CD are you playing on your Walkman?
  • Still perhaps my favorite album. I wasn't quite cool enough in 2001 to listen to it though. I learned about Green Day mainly from American Idiot, then went back to find their older stuff.

    If it weren't for them "selling out" then I wouldn't have heard of them, living in my nowhere town. Maybe I wouldn't have heard their subversive ideas. I might have just listened to country.

    Maybe Green Day had a part in making me who I am

  • we've updated our privacy policy starter pack
  • It's also about making sure you can't sue them, even if they did something wrong, even if they did it on purpose, even if they knew it was wrong when they did it.

    Instead you must agree to "binding arbitration", so that if you lose they get to learn what strategy works against customers, and if you win they get to learn what strategy doesn't work against customers (but in any case the details cannot be shared with other customers).

    Also, you can never participate in a class action suit, so even if they did do something wrong, on purpose, and you convinced a -judge- arbiter, you just get the $12 judgment, or whatever the value is of your actual damages. The corporation can keep the $12 they stole from each of their millions of other customers, who didn't also start arbitration.

    It is shocking that it is even legal

  • Streaming Ads Are So Much Worse Than Traditional Ad Breaks
  • YouTube does this on paid content. I bought It's Always Sunny In Philadelphia but it has ads for other FX shows (Mayans, Cake, Sons of Anarchy) baked in to the first 30 seconds and last 60 seconds of some episodes.

    It also has a teaser that is the last item in each season's playlist, which is an ad for the season you just watched :/
