No, because I do not believe you are discussing this in good faith. I've explained it to you already, and you're asking vague, obtuse questions. I'm going to stand on "fuck all the way off."

I know the fucks I give disappear about that quickly.

Thank you for providing an example.

Let's say E is everyone's second choice, but nobody's first choice. E is the first candidate eliminated because E got 0% of the vote.

Let's say it shakes out like this:

40% A E C B
21% B E A C
20% D E C B
19% C E D B <- You

40 A D 39 D B 21 B D

60 D 40 A

First round, E is eliminated despite being the most popular candidate by far.

Second Round, C, followed by B. D wins.

But if 3% of A voters switched to C, then A would have won because D would be eliminated, sending their votes to C, which would have eliminated B, sending those votes to A. But D and C voters hate A, so it's in their best interest to also vote for B. And now we're back to fptp

When considering the quality of a voting system, you want voters to be honest (i.e. not strategic in their votes). Voters should pick the candidate they agree with, not the candidates they think they must support to avoid a catastrophe.

That looks like it! Thanks!! I honestly don't remember enough of the one I saw to be sure if that was the same project, but it is definitely the same concept and looks like the creator put a lot of work into it to make it perfect.

I asked because years ago, I saw a ROM for NES that took the original Japanese version and retranslated everything to English, fixing a lot of broken clues and storylines. I haven't been able to find it again.

That's some pedantic bullshit. This comic is clearly designed to foster voter apathy by suggesting that voting is ineffective. It's part of the great lie that fascists have been using for a long time, that voting is pointless and you have no power. It's how they win elections.

The vast majority of free people have no interest in violent revolution, and if even half of non-voters decided to participate, fascists would never win another election. When they lose elections, fascists attempt to use force. But they are outnumbered.

All Americans understand that. It doesn't change the idiomatic implication of the word choice. That's why it's funny. Nobody is actually confused.

Anti-Semitic people would wipe out Jewish people in Israel if the United States withdrew its support of Israel. That doesn't in any way justify Israel targeting civilians or engaging in genocide, but it's disingenuous to claim only one side is threatened with annihilation. Nor does it imply that both the threat and the action are "totally the same thing." Nobody is suggesting that.

I'm sure it's just an idiomatic translation issue, but saying it was "on sale," to Americans, makes it sound like it was being advertised as a discount.

I don't have one. Do you?

This also bugs me in movies whenever someone is kicked off the boat, but they're given a small rowboat and some provisions. Like, that wasn't an extra boat. It serves a purpose on the ship, and everything that takes up space on a boat is precious. A "spare" rowboat could be the difference between life and a horrible death. It could be months before they find a port where they can buy a replacement rowboat.

What is a softie?

The fascists have systematically captured the system by religiously voting in every election over the past 50 years, and now that they are coming for you, you're going to criticize people who want to vote against them?

Fuck all the way off.

Are all the bugs and mistranslations there?

The could do modern covers of the entire album.

I know, that's why I said it's entirely different.

But also, we don't know exactly how time dilation works. We know it does, because it makes sense mathematically and we have experienced it in applications, but we don't really know how it works.

Here is the Typhoon II

All lies. The fans couldn't push the thing without a polished smooth surface. You see it spinning? Think about where the fans are, because that's the only steering it had.

Yes, and they're wrinkled as fuck.

FWIW our current understanding of spacetime includes multi-dimensional time, which is why we experience more or less time when we are traveling at high speed or experiencing strong gravitational fields. It's sort of like moving diagonally across a room, except entirely different.

I came here to say, that's basically the subplot of Dr Horrible.

It's not about making money, it's about taking money... Destroying the status quo, because the status is not quo. The world is a mess and I just need to rule it.
