I’m like, wait, what happened in the 1930s that meant the wipeout of the republicans and what happened in the next 60 years?

Oh yes, an overinflated market crashed during the republican presidency, the burst ignited by the proposal of a tariff increase law, made to shield American industries and that was actually signed into law and significantly worsened the great depression. This pretty much caused the rise of Nazism in Germany and WW2

What happened then in the next 60 years? Oh yeah, the US won the war and became the biggest world superpower, the economy boomed and you had pretty much the most prosperous time in America’s history.

Maaaaybe a republican wipeout isn’t that bad now, is it?

If anomalies are detected, it tells your insurance company so they can increase your rates or drop you before you actually need to go to the hospital and cost them any money.

A fediverse app to empower coops and smaller taxi companies and allow them to reach users could actually be a pretty good idea and a great way to reduce Uber’s power

You can do it in a multitude of ways. The French for instance elect their president by voting twice, the first time they vote for their favorite candidate (and the parliament), the second time they vote for either of the two candidates that got the most votes (a run off)

There are other ways, like ranked voting, or you could look up parliamentary republics for an alternative form of government.

Read up on what happens in the rest of the world, at this point, we, as a human species, have tried pretty much everything

Yeah, but they’ve stuck to their guns, and now they can stand proud next to the bodies, knowing they never compromised on their moral integrity.

Also known as cancer in a box

Ok, but this doesn’t explain why you would choose to self-host VaultWarden rather than using BitWarden.

Not without login, probably

This looks like a weird version of a cold world era map, blue being US and allies, red USSR and allies and yellow non aligned countries. A little bit weird in Africa and south America, but we’re mostly there

I knew math was homophobic!

There was once a term used for this, first world (US and allies) second world (USSR and allies) and third world (neutral-ish nations)

It’s why there are words for hearing and listening. Yeah, I heard you, but I wasn’t listening

The original company was never Italian. The founder was Italian, but the company was incorporated in German Alsace, which then became French Alsace after the Great War. There was a brief attempt at a revival in Italy in the late 80s, early 90s, but it didn’t really go anywhere. Today’s company is French and is mostly controlled by the Croat Rimac (and partially by Porsche, which owns VW, which owns Porsche)

Italian cuisine is mid anyway someone should teach them about these crazy things called spices.

What’s your favorite cuisine and where are you eating it?

It’s not about the distro. Most distros out right now are pretty good. What you need is hardware that lots of people want to buy with Linux installed on it as the default choice. Normal people don’t want to install any OS, be it Linux, Windows, MacOS or BSD. Whatever comes by default, it’s good.

I’m pretty sure that right now the most popular Linux distros are ChromeOS and SteamOS. I wonder why

Send them an email saying you want to exercise your right to be forgotten

Just tell them you live in the EU and you want to exercise your right to be forgotten, therefore you want them to delete all the data they have on you permanently. They’ll comply, trust me.

Also you can first download all the data they have on you, as required by the GDPR, if you want to backup some of it.

No, the adblocker usually blocks the request before the data gets sent to the device. It’s why pages load faster with an adblocker

Ok, let’s try again. Those who like the left usually don’t vote for the GOP, agree?

Then, for them, the options are three, either vote Dems, vote third party or don’t vote. Now, if, like in the example of before, these people are that 5%, do you agree that not voting or voting a third party will result in the GOP winning, while voting for the Dems will result in the Dems winning?

If you think that the Dems and the GOP are one and the same, then fine. If instead you’d rather the Dems win, then do you agree that these people should vote Dems rather than do nothing or vote for a third party, which would lead to a GOP win?

Btw, this is why there’s no third party in a fptp system and there can never be one. Your votes are better spent on the candidate you dislike less rather than on the one you actually like, because voting for the one you like will inevitably result in the one you really dislike going to power.

Edit:btw watch that cgp grey video, it’s really good. He’s really good in general tbh, great guy, very good at explaining.

You don’t understand the basics of a First Past The Post system.

Let’s say, for example’s sake, that 52% of the people voting tend left, while 48% tend right, and let’s also remove all the state, gerrymandering and grand elector bullshit for a moment (I know, so much bullshit)

If everyone were to only vote for either the Democratic Party or the Republican Party, come November, the Democratic Party would win with 52% of the votes and secure the presidency. Now let’s assume that there’s a third party, let’s call it “The True Left Party” and let’s say they can have a very successful campaign and secure 5% of the votes, which would come from the left leaning side of the voting pool, aka from those who would have otherwise voted for the Democratic Party. Now come November the results would look like this: Republicans still at 48%, Democrats now at 47% and True Left at 5%, so now the Republican Party wins and Trump becomes president.

This is how voting for a third party only helps your enemy. If I were the Republicans, I’d be turbo donating to any left party right now. Divide et Impera as the Romans said.
