Reducing extremism, reduces the impact of advertising, which means business loses influence… and the rich lose influence. So that is who hates ranked choice voting.

If I am trying to change people’s minds… yeah. I can’t say, some guy on reddit said it was true.

Thier definition of paycheck to paycheck was pretty weak and an easy target to poke holes in. But the data in general looks pretty helpful. And the source is a well known name. So thanks. The other guy who spewed a lot of math probably doesn’t debate with conservatives very often.

Question, I hear things like that on lemmy often. Is there some data source that I can point to if I want to repeat it. I work in tech and honestly don’t go out much. I also have kids and live in an old neighborhood that is right next to new expensive ones. So I don’t really know anyone personally that is living paycheck to paycheck. And no one would believe me if I talked about it without data and a source.

Let’s be honest. There is litterally no situation where you should ever believe a thing trump says.

The second one is fine. And even 3,45 isn’t terrible, unless there are three digits after the comma. Then it is just wrong… in my opinion of course

Only 230? That’s disappointing

He is so lost these days he probably honestly thought her ass was the lecturn.

I suppose you would have to look up the law against it and see what it calls the action. They could call it Mississippi steamboating if they wanted to. So the possibility it is called vote buying isn’t unreasonable. But if you are just arguing that the headline is misleading… water is wet too.

They don’t need real events to site as proof. They prefer to make them up. It buys time while opponents have to try to figure out the source of the claim. I mean if you are going to lie, this is a great plan.

This dumb American is all for moving to the same units as the rest of the world. I would even agree to reordering the way we write dates. But not using a . where a comma belongs is a hill I will die on.

I read elsewhere that the issue was that you had to sign the petition to be eligible to win, and that you had to be a registered voter to sign the petition. So technically it was paying to get you to register. Which is not allowed.

More than that. You probably use them in public, where there are tons of cameras. So if you forget you phone in say a restaurant, odds are they have video of you unlocking it.
And let’s not forget all the poorly secured wifi access points people commonly connect to…

You mean political officers? Like we see on the tvs in all Russia subs…

I’m not sure which has the stronger lobby. But even 1 of them by itself would probably been enough to keep US support for suppling Isreal going in the government.

It’s also all the weapons producers who are making money like they won the lotto selling those weapons. They have a ton of influence as well.

On the greater Idaho thing. Apparently Idaho said they didn’t want the counties in Oregon. Those votes were always stunts anyway.

The sad thing is that Idaho is some really nice land. Rivers, lakes, waterfalls. Shame really.

Honestly, you don’t have to create a kill switch. Most stuff will fall apart due to dependency on manual intervention. Usually because there isn’t enough staff to automate it. Tech debt comes for everyone.

63% != Large Majority. If it did what would more be 70 = Really large majority 75 = Really really large majority 80 = Fricking huge majority 85 = Ludicrous majority 90 = BFM 9000 95 = Who said no 100 = Rigged

I can think of a couple. P diddy is coming to mind today… allegedly.
