Indeed! And they do under representational democracies. In a community there will always be some sort of law or code, whether written or not, that some members of that community disagree with.

Absolutely agree! First past the post will always drift toward larger and less representative parties. Even proportional representation can have this tendency, but it is much more resilient.

This is exactly what happens with democratic societies

No. This is what happens when you have two sides, both too large to really represent anyone, battling for a sliver of majority using increasingly diverging views and then exercising as much power as they can before the roles flip again.

In an actual democracy representatives of the people, with many differing views, sit down together and decide case by case on a solution that most can be happy with.

Someone will always disagree with any decision when we live in a large society, but a functioning democracy is the closest thing we have ever come to making sure that as many as possible are happy (and more importantly get a say).

Had? I bet you they still have people pushing the doors all the time.

No, but they have that at a museum in town!

I remember seeing one of those! Wasn’t brought to our school, though (I went to school in the middle of the city), we went to a farm.

Why not both?

I vividly remember spending twenty minutes downloading a single song over my 56k modem 🥲

TBF the AI features in Arc are actually pretty good! Just quality of life-stuff like renaming downloads and getting summary previews when hovering search results. I have a suspicion they’ll push it farther with Dia, though…

Can these guys please just start their own political party and maybe start dragging the US out of the two party hellhole while saving it from acute fascism?

This makes me want to watch No Country for Old Men again

I don’t disagree with your point about ergonomics, but I just wanted to point out that feet can have pretty different shapes. My feet look very different than yours, with the three first toes nearly the same length. I’d probably be miserable in the shoes in your picture.

I don’t think this will happen: Their department of defense has adopted Signal for internal communication, and there is no way in hell they would want a backdoor built in. In fact, the article says they have already opposed the suggestion.

Speaking of which, here is a helpful manual.

My favorite strategy in this manual is taking a middle management position and making sure everyone is working as inefficiently as possible. Probably also among the ones most relevant to the current situation!

Get out of here with those propaganda techniques, please

Well, I’m sure the exposure from going to the shooting range is a lot smaller than this, but lead poisoning from leaded gasoline apparently had a measurable impact on IQ levels.

I 100 percent agree that the big problem of the educational system, though! It is also interesting how self-fulfilling the adversity to government has been: it has made it so easy for men with bad intentions to tear down an at least functional democracy by promising to “fix” it.

Suspected as much!

The term is «affordance»
