Maybe a good lesson from the Indians, find a way to use as much as possible from your prey

Lol, there's no way in hell your decision on how to vote was ever going to be swayed by the civility of Lemmy comments

Oh no, this'll definitely get me killed

Gratz

Damn, made this joke too late

Won't someone rid us of this meddlesome priest vice president

No, see, he has a bunch of kids, so maybe he's proposing she adopt one of them.

That's better, right???

The search term? What is it?

I occasionally have copy/paste issues, but it's most often with electron apps as well.

Before killing yourself, it's your responsibility to kill your children

Ostensibly his supporters do

"It's just a fact of life" he says in only country where this happens regularly

Something that i think is important to understand about this, and while Grey does mention it, its brief and towards the end, is that this framework isn't unique to governments. These patterns show up in human organization at basically every level.

So I'm going to push back on the idea that

this is horrible and this system should be abolished

Depending on what "this system" means to you.

I think it's much more useful to understand the incentives at play and build systems that minimize the damage consolidated power can do, and limit the ability for power to accumulate. That is... very much easier said than done, but I think it's needed effort.

That's right.

While the video is a good summary of the framing of the book (the selectorate theory of politics), I still recommend reading the book if you find the topic interesting. They go into a bunch of case studies on how you can apply the framing in wildly different circumstances, and make a very compelling case for how increasing the numbers of participants in a system improves the outcomes for everyone involved.

This video, and the book it's based on, unironically started my transition from neoliberal to democratic socialist.

Which I think is funny, because I don't think the authors, Bruce Bueno De Mesquita and Alistair Smith, are particularly leftist.

Pretty sure it's a hip bone X-ray of someone without a spine

Now he is behind Trump

Always has been

The worst timeline

¯\(ツ)/¯

The keyboard is fine, nothing to write home about. The top plate is in 6 separate bits (on the 16 in anyway) and they've got a bit of play, it feels a bit awkward to me, but the trade offs are worth it to me.

Software/firmware has been surprisingly well thought out, including a very clear picture if you try to boot without all the pieces installed.

I've had one weird issue with the uefi boot, but that was due to using an old install media, I think.

Fair enough

My only real complaint is that "have an ai do it" isn't a great suggestion though; an ai wil have the same bias as whoever developed it.

I bought a framework recently. Its not perfect, but I've been quite happy with it.

Maybe it's just naivety, but I still hope for a world where people hear him speak, he gets appropriately ridiculed for the bullshit he says, and people stop trying to follow him. If there's any shred of a chance that that's still possible, I think it'd be better that he shows.

Probably simply that they are done with it (mono specifically, and possibly .net framework in the long run)

That's probably what they're talking about, just misremembered the specifics

For various definitions of "better"

I don't think this would necessarily be playing to his strengths, look at how effective the "weird" narrative has been.

Also, almost no one that would vote for Trump is doing so on policy. Sure, she needs to talk some policy to keep moderates (and actual leftists) engaged, but I think there's some need to mock him and his movement.

To make a bit of an analogy, look at how Gamergate actually ended; it wasn't from crossing any bridge that went too far, or convincing people they were enabling harassment, it ended when Steven Colbert made fun of the movement on his show, and then that got mainstream attention.

This is functionally spending money on the climate crisis, on the side of the crisis.

That isn't how I interpret the ready action. And yeah, there should be a save of some sort even if it isn't RAW, but I think I'd allow it out at my table, it's creative and fun.

Edit: I reread the rule, there is language for precasting the spell. I stil thinkl it'd be more fun to find a way to hide it, like a stealth check or similar.

Either way, the fact that casting a spell is an action isn't really a problem here

Jiders

I'm not sure I follow;

If his goal was to pull voters away from Kamala, why would he endorse her?

Maybe, but every time he speaks it's all conspiracy theory shit: anti-vax, etc.

The fact the GOP backed him thinking he'd pull voters from Democrats shows just how out of touch the GOP has gotten

But if they just let everyone vote, they wouldn't hold power anymore.

Won't somebody please think of the politicians?

Fun fact, this sign wasn't in Kansas

I think it'd be hard to look at the current state of things and think he made a mistake. At least he seems willing enough to get along.

I've no shortage of criticism for the man and his actions, but this one I can applaud.

And it's not like he delivered flawlessly, he still has at least one part where he seemed to get lost, and the crowd covered for him.

Did have real mixed feelings about the "Thank You Joe" chant. It was kind of wholesome in a way, but I imagine it feels bad to have been pushed out like he was.

Ah, thanks.

For anyone coming later, the first half of the video is superfluous to the meme, start at 3:18. I agree with the video's interpretation of the first ruling, that that would be a reasonable use of a ready action.

Otherwise, yeah, the meme is spot on.

What is this referencing?
