Very true, here in Australia we get the day off to go vote, which is the least you'd expect considering voting is mandatory. I'm privileged to live in a country where it is so effortless to vote and I can trust the system to work. Not getting a public holiday or making early voting early easy is a huge barrier to entry.

Because there aren't really any consequences for the democrats... The ones in safe seats keep their jobs which are basically useless for a few years, what a cushy job. There is no moderating force in a two party system, there's no external threat. One party can drive the public to outrage, and then lose the election and everyone chills out only for it to be replaced by an equally dysfunctional and regressive government. Voting Dems is only delaying the inevitable collapse, voting R just accelerates it. America needs to realise that a centuries old political system just isn't cutting it any more. Two party systems are meant to force the sides to converge on the median, so you get two very moderate parties, but now one is moving further and further right and the other seems to being dragged along with it. At least ranked choice voting might be a start.

What confuses me with this take, is that you guys get two options over there, so how was Trump a better choice? In a battle of lesser evils you still pick the lesser evil. Such an unbelievably flawed democratic system the US has.

In the musical wicked which I suppose is canon and happens at the same time, Glenda reveals to Madame Morrible that the wicked witch of the west will probably show herself if her sister (the wicked witch of the east) is in danger. So Morrible summons the tornado to threaten the sister which coincidentally brings along Dorothy. Glenda secretly was good friends with Elphaba (WWotW) so wouldn't have intentionally gotten her sister killed. There was a lot of politics and propaganda and stuff, but Glenda wasn't really a villain, just a vain person who found it easier to support an autocracy. Someone who has read the books could probably explains it all, sorry if I've ruined your headcanon!

Probably the most exciting part of the trailer is that it all but confirms multiplayer which was probably the biggest missing element of the first game.

This isn't surprising news. He's always been an asshole but it seems pretty widely agreed that he lost his filter somewhere around COVID so the reporting of 2022 isn't a shock at all. In fact I'm shocked to find out it's only since 2022?!

If you have the room for it and don't already, you should see if you can get a shock mount for the mic if you can't put it on a boom. It would make a big difference for those vibrations!

I use a keychron at work and it's very good for the price. Not a heap to choose from in the 100% range but all very reasonably priced. If you're after serious quietness you probably want linear switches but these are often pretty polarising to people. There's no tactile click at all when you've activated the key. You might be surprised what you can get away with on VC though, I use a condenser mic and a keyboard with blue keys and generally have no problems with people hearing it. Good mic positioning on a boom helps a lot, and some new noise cancelling technologies are pretty excellent at blocking clicks. With a headset mic it would be really unlikely to be heard.

Every other EV I know has instant boot up, Volvo/polestar, Hyundai, rivian etc. I was under the impression this was pretty Universal for EVs. A huge amount of current model year cars in a similar price range also have remote keyless control functionality, even ICE cars.

Often huge barriers to employment are owning a phone with a consistent number, and appearance/hygiene. For someone with nothing these two things can massively help.
