Gotta start local and work your way up. The system is fundamentally flawed. There are many problems, but the most fixable is the voting and representation systems, which can usually be changed at the local level through referendum. Approval Voting is an easy fix with big impact and when applied to multi-winner elections you can use a proportional variant to get proportional results in the legislature. Both of these changes would reduce polarization and make it easier for third parties to get in office. With more than two parties in power, the parties have to start working together and compromising on things, instead of just obstructing until they’re the majority and then jamming through partisan bullshit. But you gotta start local. Run a referendum campaign, switch your local elections to Approval, and work your way up.

All I want for Christmas is Approval Voting and proportional representation.

Beans do be pretty good though.

I’m pretty sure it’s ridiculously hard to stop government projects in your backyard there. The best you can do is refuse to sell your land.

You have to work your way up from the bottom with he voting system. You probably know a bit about how they work already, but Approval is my favorite.

I shall never forget as long as I live. Katie Porter or AOC would be better choices.

See here’s where this analogy is perfect. Sometimes a bicycle is the best solution, just like how sometimes a microcontroller is the best solution. You use the tool you need for the job, and American product design is creating way too many “smart” products just like how American town planning demands too many cars. Bring back the microcontroller! Bring back the bike!

Damn that shit is fucked up.

I feel like my tools should work together instead of having their parameters set individually. If I select something, it’s because I want to do stuff with it. Imagine hitting play on a video and then also having to hit play on the audio.

WORLD’S. FASTEST. BULLETTRAIN. NETWORK.

A rail line that can handle a 280 foot piece of cargo would be heaven for high speed adoption with how straight it would have to be.

I want to be able to turn off those silly animations.

It limits the accessibility of the information, meaning that both terrorists and freedom fighters will be less likely to find it. YouTube suppresses age restricted material, whether they claim to or not.

He fucked himself over with some of the auction houses by trying to set up backroom deal to buy a gun outside of the auction. Understandingly they don’t appreciate that sort of thing. Ian has a history of not being a great person, but he’s good at hiding it from the public eye.

TRAAAAAIIIIIIIINS.

You know we can have one without the other if we campaign to make their invasion of our privacy illegal, right?

They’re not useful? I’m literally using one right now in a way that can’t be done on a dumb phone. Look, I love dumb phones, and I would actually have one if my lifestyle allowed it, but I get so much value out of my smart phone it’s just not practical to use a less capable device.

I mean, they’re extremely useful and cheap, if you buy the right one.

Drone operators will be allowed to fly drones beyond where they can see them
