  • Did everybody get this as a maths problem nearly every year in primary school, and again in high school when triangle numbers were brought up?

  • It's not a bug, it's a feature. Perfect representation would actually by sortition (selection of public office by jury duty type random selection), but that scares people because "I don't want just anybody to be in power" but that doesn't stop people who should from getting it

    • the cost of living is a complex issue with multiple causes that will take a very careful and calculated collection of regulations regarding home ownership, rent, taxes, and it's not going to work for everyone, and it's not going to happen overnight
    • supporting and expanding social welfare programs helps everyone

    What are they expecting? The Republicans will be able to write a law saying Netflix will be cheaper and have no ads?

  • Now you're not going to believe this, ladies and gentlemen, there was a time - not too longer ago in fact - where people called these metacrawlers, and they were beloved. People would say "Dogpile" yes, that might help, because - bare with me again - search was shit. But, comparing lot of different shit sources would generally give you ok information, and generally reveal at least a lot of different sources which could help find and gather information.

    Now I'm not calling Kagi reputable in anyway, but if metacrawling helped with the situation before, maybe we should try it again.
