  • Oh no, no, no. They're gonna leave em collecting dust in some warehouse right up until the newly privatized weather service needs equipment, who will be able to purchase them at an absolute steal!

  • Can't recall the vendor, but I saw at least one that tried a rent-a-PC things aimed at gamers. But the price was egregious, and I wanna say they didn't even ship the hardware they advertised.

    Anyway, point was it's already being tested in the wild...

  • That's only ever happened temporariily during a shifting of the power and influence of the parties. And although it's may appear we had three parties, only two are really in power at a time. Also, the third always loses relevance and disappear.

    Frankly, this isn't a matter of opinion, anyway, and to frame it as such is either ignorant or malicious. It is literally_impossible_ to sustain three parties within the rules of our voting and political system.

  • And one more detail that we don't want to overlook: the path to shaking up primaries starts right in your backyard. But that I mean the local elections. It feels so small to think about how much some random city officer means in the grand scheme - but the truth is the opposite, the unknown random jackass that maintains the lift stations (or whatever), those are the people who matter. Not a cheetoh-faced McDictator who thinks he matters but can't remember why.

    And here's why: that tiny sliver of "power" in the hands of the little guy, if, and only if, you combine that with the tiny sliver in the hands of all the other nobodies, the combined strength is unstoppable - far more than a Mango Mussolini in a diaper.

    But, fucking eh have they gotten good at convincing all us nobodies to avoid solidarity. But we have to just figure it out anyway, cause there is no losing. Not this time. It's win, or there nothing left to win or lose next time....

  • Oh, yes, I'm being horribly pedantic due to quite obviously being triggered, so I don't argue the related points you are making. Not at all.

  • It's not that I disagree with you. I do think I get where you're coming from.

    I specifically have a problem with those looks being prioritized. I mean, think about it if they're worried more about the appearance than they are about the sound quality, that hubris has become straight up pride. But I'm not talking like the positive connotation. I'm talking pride as in the sin from the Bible.

  • E-bikes are just bicycles with a motor. Therefore, e-bikes are motorcycles.

  • Uh, no. Maybe check the definition of a word before you accuse people of using it wrong?

    Besides, there is literally no benefit to this kind of approach. The most popular use of a word is the definition of the word, not the other way around. And yes, this means it will change over time. So even if motor didn't literally refer to a certain type of engine, the definition of the word motorcycle is not dependent on the definition of the word motor. Even if there was a contradiction between the definition of the two words that's literally irrelevant. There's no point getting all annoyed about it, that's just how language works. But you will not help anything by trying to force people to change how they're using a word. It'll just cause confusion and make communication even less clear.

  • Honestly, for me things like this are not mildly interesting, but infuriating. I don't care how pretty it is, it's not gonna sound better because of aesthetics. Hell, although I'm not sure on this case, musical instruments crafted to look pretty will often sound worse. And I don't support savaging nature just to find shit to make fancy ass things for pedophile sociopaths that dedicate their lives to making things worse for everyone else.

  • No, we need a complete overhaul of our voting system. As things currently stand, a third party will never have any real power on the national level. And don't get me wrong, local elections are really important, even more than national in many ways. But without proportional representation, there will never be real meaningful change.
