do you think that a half dozen lemmy users are capable of changing the voting system?

there have been some initiatives passed in some states, but thats only half the election. And the people in power benefit from a first past the post voting system, so transitioning out is slow work. It is possible, and it is happening, but there’s not a magic button that says “swap to superior voting method” that a single socialist can press

we don’t know the authors age, I had recess up to the sixth grade and this would be well within my skill level at that age

phase 2 armor wasn’t used at the Battle of Geonosis

they exist, but the electoral system is designed to keep them from gaining power. And since (most) states use first past the post, secondary preferences aren’t taken into account, so if you vote third party when you would have voted for Harris otherwise you increase Trumps chance of winning. There’s some argument to be made that voting third party or not voting might influence democrats in the future to change their policy to appeal to those voters but I don’t know how realistic that is.

I’ll throw in my most recent guilty pleasure is Space Battleship Yamato. I didn’t grow up with the original so I’m currently re-watching the 2012 remake. But for fun at the start I watched episode one of the original Yamato, Star Blazers (70s American localization) and the remake in the same day just to compare, which was a cooler experience than I expected it to be.

Great show if you think One Punch Man would be better if Saitama was a spaceship

Warframe is great but you can’t do 95% of the story missions multiplayer

a kind of funny interaction I noticed with Secondary Fortifier is that the Alchemy amphors count towards it because your secondary is equipped

got an email during university that I had been given access to an array of digital resources for free, all I had to do was link my university email credentials. Only after I had already done that did I realize how sketchy it was, but then it did actually turn out to be legit. Wish i remembered/still had access I remember there being some good stuff on there
