No no no, it's a "Wikipedia-ending debate"

I guess that's what it means now

As an anarchist, I too would prefer Nobody for president.

(But given current practical realities, I hope enough of you Americans cote dem to keep the fascists out)

I don't know how you'd measure driving "goodness", but I expect the distribution would be something like exponential (there are billions of non-drivers, and only a few rally/stunt drivers). So the average is likely to be higher than the median.

This is hilarious

After you answer the same question

Yep. The thing I worry about is, even if the dems pull of a win that gives them the power to do this, would they actually do it? I doubt it, somehow.

As someone who is politically active in ways other than voting, I'm calling bullshit. You're just making assumptions about how other people act, you have no evidence.

A better solution would be for the US to implement some kind to voting system where third party voting does matter. Like lots of the world has.

It's possible to vote Dem and still do all the other things you listed.

The US needs to fix their voting system. Preferential voting, run-off, whatever. First past the post sucks.

Also the gerrymandering.

 

I've been a linux user for 20 years (mostly on KDE). I just started at a new job, and they gave me a mac. I found out later that I could have got a linux machine instead, which is a bit annoying. Still, I know there are some nice things about a mac, and I figured I'd give it a try for a while.

I'm pretty quick moving around my desktop environment, and I'm finding picking up the mac is not too bad. BUT I use keyboard shortcuts a lot, and they are all every different on a mac. So whenever I switch back and forth between my work machine, I end up stumbling a bunch and wasting my time, and getting annoyed. It's mostly keyboard shortcuts, but the trackpad buttons and scrolling are annoying too.

So, question is: is it possible to regularly use two OSs with wildly different control surfaces, and be comfortable with it? e.g. either MacOS + Linux, or I guess MacOS + Windows? Or will it be annoying forever?

 

When you're reading or listening to verbal material ( e.g. fiction, nonfiction, prose, poetry, lyrics, etc.), what kind of imagery has the most impact?

Imagery in the broad sense (including all senses, not just sight).

"Kind" can be whatever categorisation you can think of, e.g. genre, sense, place, scale, human/non-human, etc.
