Bots building post history in an abandoned looking sub. Usually done to get access to some other sub.

With the right looking post history you can scam your way onto a surprising large number of moderation teams.

And he likely also has a certain idea of who the criminals are.

One man’s terrorist is another man’s freedom fighter.

Did you know that Nelson Mandela was the leader of a literal terrorist organization?

He ordered attacks that killed people. That’s why he was in prison.

And every one forgave him, and even voted him into power.

All because South African Apartheid was fundamentally evil.

Israeli Apartheid is orders of magnitude worse than the South African version.

Have you checked out Live from Emmett’s Place?

Live jazz streamed every week.

Instead they went with the stupidest and most cruel option. Make sure there’s no ventilation on the mask, and that it had a tight seal before turning on the gas. A gas they were treating like a deadly poison.

And since there was no ventilation at all, there was no gas flow. There was no oxygen displacement. Just the CO2 buildup.

A big part of it was scientific illiteracy. There was talk at the time about “protecting the prison officers from exposure to the gas”.

They were treating it like a poison.

Which adds stupidity to the malice.

Lenin betrayed the revolution. You mention the banning of the political parties. While it’s true that they “took up arms against Sovnarkom”, you’re leaving out the part where Lenin used Sovnarkom to coup the newly elected government because his party didn’t win.

Again, Lenin was flat out wrong. But I don’t think he ever actually cared about Russia ever reaching the true Marxist communist utopia. Lenin cared about power first and foremost.

He built up that dictatorship, and then handed it over to a monster.

Tried a bunch, but tried wrong.

The Lenin model of communism is inherently flawed for one simple reason. An Authoritarian Communism is an Impossibility. It cannot exist by pure definition.

The true ideal communism is a stateless utopia.

So yeah, the Lenin model is flawed to the point of uselessness. Or worse because any authoritarian government is going to kill its own citizens, while also being a low grade threat to neighboring countries.

No. The only path to true communism is via democracy. And there are countries that are moving in that direction.

Hydrogen fuel cells actually show quite a bit of promise. Mostly for large trucks. Batteries have a scaling issue. A battery powered 18-wheeler needs a much larger battery for a much shorter range.

Adding more load means you need more battery, and that larger battery is just more load that you need to haul.

This is sort of true with everything, but the important note is that a full battery and empty battery weigh the same.

Anyway. Commercial use is where it makes sense. There are actually a few other technologies that make sense in the commercial transportation space. Like ammonia.

Keeping these rather dangerous fuels commercial also allows for more strict safety standards.

There’s actually some merit to this statement.

In the late 1940s, the philosophical arm of the Lehi terrorist organization literally plagiarized Nazi race science with Aryan scratched out and “God’s chosen people” subbed in.

It depends heavily on what sub you’re in for the mods and users,

But yes, the admin team is very right leaning.

What’s worse is the links to white supremacy in all this shit.

The origin of many of these ancient alien slash ancient apocalypse “theories” are 1900s Germany.

People who were looking for a “scientific” reason why Germans were the superior race.

The core thrust of every “ancient” whatever theory is that ancient people were idiots and had to be shown how to pile rocks into a pyramid shape or shit.

The imaginary people who “showed” ancient brown people how to do shit are always depicted as white.

It’s even worse. In order to get by in game, you need to pay a bunch of subscriptions.

You may not, but the company that packaged the rice did. The cooking instructions on the side of the bag are straight from the FDA. Follow that recipe and you will have rice that is perfectly safe to eat, if slightly over cooked.

Two main methods, the first is with a fishing pile like normal. The second is to get down into the water and feel up under the bank. If you wiggle your fingers a catfish will latch on, and you can just pull it out by hooking your fingers into the gills.

I’ll say that I sort of despise Fairvote.

They lie about RCV pretty much all the time.

The system has more problems than First Past the Post, and still doesn’t fix the third party problem.

No, a far better system is STAR. It actually fixes the problems that it sets out to fix.

The more important point where the graph is misleading.

While their market share went down, that says nothing. The market exploded over that period.

Total installs is the thing you want to graph.

Or Monthly Active Users, which has been mostly flat or slightly declining since 2019, the oldest date that Firefox currently lists on their website. Because all sorts of graphs are publicly available on that site.

I’m also certain that I can find data going back further.

I have a better idea than the gallows. Give them a minimum wage job that deals with customers.

A small one bedroom apartment thrown is as well, and no access to their money for a few years. just their minimum wage.

Over on reddit there’s an entire genre of this sort of fiction in /r/hfy

Edge cases like you describe are a key part of Ordinal voting systems, Cardinal voting systems are immune to that sort of thing.

Also, Cardinal voting systems can be super easy. Take Approval.

Simply take a list of names, and mark next to each candidate you approve of. If you feel like you need to have a moral conundrum over what you feel like approval means, then go ahead, but just mark the next to any or all of the names on the list that you like.

After that, the counting is simple as well. You add up the approval of each candidate, independent of what any other candidate gets, and then the winner is the one with the most approval.

It is literally impossible to elect an unpopular candidate via Approval, unless only unpopular candidates run.

STAR is slightly more complex, in that you rate each candidate on a scale of 0-5. Again, no one actually cares about your personal journey in rating someone a 4 or whatnot, just do it and move on.

Then when counting, you again add up the numbers, take the highest two, and see where they rate on each individual ballot. If one is rated higher than the other, they get the vote from that ballot.
