  • What is a belief you’ve done a total 180 on?

  • When I was a freshman in college I thought "Surely nobody would want to inherit genetic diseases, and why wouldn't we want to to try and make people just naturally live longer, healthier lives?" but then I did even the tiniest bit of research on how eugenics actually worked and I completely abandoned that line of thinking.

  • I'd like to run a poll of as many Americans as could be managed, and ask them if we should maintain diplomatic relations with... and then list a series of real and fictional nations. I suspect we'd get something like 25 to 30% who think we should cut off diplomatic ties with Narnia, Wakanda, and Oz.

  • As much as I liked the "You didn't kill Anakin Skywalker, I did" scene from the Obi-Wan show, it really makes Obi-Wan look like a proper fuckup for fully acknowledging that Anakin is dead and Vader is all that remains, and that Vader is an unrepentant murderous asshole who serves the Emperor, and still refusing to kill him and instead walking away.

    Like, once on Mustaphar I can kind of get; it's a highly emotional moment and all, and for all you know Anakin is going to roast to death in a couple of minutes anyway. But letting Vader live twice?! That's just bad future-planning, man.

  • In 2000, Nader won 1.64% of the popular vote in Florida.

    If less than 1% of the Nader voters had voted for Gore instead, Gore would have won Florida, become president, and who knows what timeline we'd be living in today.

    If your favorite candidate is polling in single digits ahead of election day, maybe... just maybe... you should consider which of the actually viable candidates you want to win and vote accordingly.

  • 2000 Presidential Election:

    Popular vote: 50,456,002 (Bush) / 50,999,897 (Gore)

    Bush won because the margin was so narrow. He lost the popular vote but eked out an electoral college win because of Florida.

    Per Wikipedia:

    Bush carried Florida by only 537 votes out of 5.96 million cast in the state (a margin of 0.009%).

    Nader took 97,488 votes. If less than one percent of Nader voters had gone for Gore, Gore would have won the state, and who knows what timeline we'd be living in now.

    Elections can be stolen when the margin is that narrow. When the margin is wide, it's impossible to steal.

  • 1964, Presidential Election (LBJ vs Goldwater):

    Johnson won 61% of the popular vote. Even if there had been a concerted effort to rig the election against Johnson, it would have had to be so widespread and obvious that it would have been either stopped immediately, or it would have resulted in a new civil war. Getting that many people voting the right way should be the goal; make the margin of victory so wide as to be impossible to overcome via subtle chicanery.

    If they still try to steal the election in those circumstances, then there will be violence, which is the only other option for changing government, so we might as well try having the election before the violence.

    TLDR:
