Choosing not to vote was the worst option to choose both objectively, and morally.

Strictly speaking, assuming Democrats care about winning elections, it is not true.

Sure, you get the worst option for one or two terms, but you would hopefully force the Democratic party to reform and stop supporting Genocides in the long term.

This is why I hate when people try to shift the blame on voters. This was 100% the Democrats election to loose, and they did.

You can’t really change the voters, so what is the point of complaining about them? You can change the party to allow it to win the next time. Blaming the voters is just distracting from that.

You know, while I am a fan of choosing the lesser evil, when the “lesser evil” is genocide, maybe it is time to re-consider the approach.

My solution to this is to buy at a price I think the game is worth for me, and if I overpay, I think of it as supporting the developer to make more like it.

That’s debatable, since the fraud usually has to be something a reasonable person could believe. E.g. no suing Copperfield for faking magic, even if he advertises it as real.

Why the hell doesn’t FBI or some other fed agency create tools for shit like this? Why is every city reinventing the wheel?

Yeah, that is the point of the article. Not to point out the president-elect that was on the verge of bankruptcy for like 30 years is suddenly and mysteriously agreeing with everything the richest man in the world says.

Rule 34 clearly states everything on the internet must fuck everything. No exceptions! AI will be forced into fucking everything!

Was there even a Grand Jury? Those are not required in most states, only on federal charges.

I kinda solved it at birth by not being born in the US, but I wish you good luck.

Idk about CA specifically. But even if none were available, it is still a term that is used for unlocking such powers on the federal level and in some states. So if CA does not have such powers, then just rename it I guess.

If I search the name, half the articles say 20k, other half 30k. Honestly, I have serious doubts about both figures…

Except it often also unlocks executive powers, not just funds. So yes, there should be a level that allows unlocking funds without everyone having to check if democracy is being suspended.

Idk, on one hand I get what you mean. On the other hand, Firefox going away or being monetized in more aggressive ways will not be a good thing.

Honestly, I think I would prefer the lawsuit never happened and Google kept paying Firefox. Now, if Google loses, Firefox will likely head for enshitification. And if google wins, it sets terrible precedent :(

This is preparation for that in case google loses its appeal and is forbidden to pay Firefox to be the default.

Ahhh, never mind. I had a strange idea that clinging to the carcass of the democratic party failed. No idea where I got that from. Looking forward to all the improvements the next 4 years will bring the US, since DNC money made life easier.

Which is exactly what I said. That survival would mainly depend on getting a source of food after having to leave the bunker.

PS: I guess I will address the fallout one last time. The most dangerous radioactive elements in nuclear fallout are those with shortest half-life, since they decay the fastest, releasing radiation the fastest. But they also disappear fast since they decay, so in a few weeks, the radiation would be at a very survivable level. You, as you are now, would absolutely not want to receive such dose and it would increase your lifetime risk of cancer. But it would not make it into top 10 concerns you would have in a post-ww3 world.

Increasing your odds of surviving the initial blast and waiting out those first few weeks where fallout is a concern is what a bunker would be useful for.

As I added in the edit, it is lot less used then what a cursory look may lead you to believe. Mostly only SLBMs really use it.

Regardless, it does not change the number of active warheads a country has, so hitting one city multiple times means not hitting other cities.

Plus, it would take dozens to really cover a city like New York. You can play around with https://nuclearsecrecy.com/nukemap/ to get a feeling for it.

Edit: To be clear, many missiles are capable of carrying MIRVs. Minuteman III missiles can still carry up to 3 warheads. But due to the New START nuclear treaty limits, they are loaded with a single warhead.

What does the delivery method have to do with anything? The numbers of warheads does not change just because you have multiple in one missile.

Also, MIRV is not as widely used as you may think, because until recently, it was limited by treaties.

For example, the peacekeeper, which was a replacement for minuteman designed to carry up to 11 warheads was discontinued and dismantled. So the US still only has minuteman missiles.

He says, after the Dems just had a presidential candidate that did not even run in the primaries.

No, a new party is 100% the way to go, though it shouldn’t be hostile to the dems, e.g. not running for president until they have more congressman and senators then the Dems to avoid splitting the vote.

Due to the Partial Nuclear Test Ban Treaty, the majority of bombs since 1962 were detonated underground to limit fallout dispersion.

Ok, so we have data only on about 300 above ground nuclear detonations, instead of 2,000. And those 300 included H-Bombs.

Also keep in mind that A-bombs like were dropped in Japan killed everyone within a 1 mile radius. Modern warheads are H-bombs which kill everyone in a 5-10 mile radius.

And how far from a large city do you think the suburbs spread? Yes, anyone near the city center has no chance. That was not disputed by anyone.

And if we want to be pedantic, a hardened underground bunker would probably have chances for survival quite a bit closer than 5-10 miles.
