So it's actually a secret third option! That's pretty rad.

Is that because it's that simple, or just that the boilerplate is pre-written in the standard library (or whatever it's called in rust)?

That's because I didn't explain ranked choice voting, I explained approval voting... They're two different things

You're given a list of candidates, and you can select however many of them you approve of being in office. Votes are then tallied, and whoever has the highest approval total is who gets voted in.

We can still push for positive climate policies on the local and state level. If Trump and his cronies try and say states can't acknowledge the climate in their policy, then we double down and push for it anyways for the reasons of grid resilience and pollution/health instead

Just because a kid grows up in a conservative house, that doesn't necessarily mean they grow up to be conservative. Most people do take the political beliefs of their parents into adulthood, but they're not all just mindless clones of their parents and do, in fact, live distinct lives with minds that can be changed

Those frustrated men will just be pointed towards feminism being the problem and the reason they can't get laid. Male sexual insecurity is gasoline on the fires of fascism. Maybe at least they won't have as much online fetish content to watch and get insecure over though... The point is, this could go any number of ways.

That's how it's been for basically decades

In terms of grassroots support, he's been very effective. This map is from 2020 when there was an actual primary but it does paint the picture pretty well:

In some states, you can't vote by mail except under specific circumstances, such as being a senior citizen or swearing that you'll be out of state entirely on election day.

Y'know, now that you mention it, the sealioning behaviour I'd been conditioned to expect is a big reason for why I spend so much time writing my comments and adding qualifying statements.

Removing the homepage entirely, replacing the entire UI with the shorts-style format of "view video right now, tap button to see next/previous video". If you want a specific video, you must search for it.

 

I use Firefox whenever I can.

On first install of the browser I usually end up following a hardening guide which includes stuff like blocking cross site cookies, setting a few things in about:config to disable Pocket/etc, and installing uBlock Origin. I've taken what I consider a relatively balanced approach, I don't use anything like noScript, uMatrix, etc that ultimately just cost a lot of time fiddling to get the 10th website of the week working.

I've been more or less fine browsing the web this way for years, but around the start of 2024 I've started seeing way more "Access Denied" pages than I used to. I think part of it is Cloudflare or similar, but I don't know exactly what's changed or what's triggering it to occur.

It usually goes away and I can re access the site in 10-30 minutes as usual, but I've had it occur in really weird instances, such as trying to change my Minecraft skin and getting blocked by the website. The server block often goes away immediately if I switch my user agent, so I know that it has something to do with how I've got everything set up.

Not sure what anyone else's experience with this has been. I'd like to hear some of your thoughts and tips
