They did, and shit like that takes years to make happen thanks to how slow the government was intentionally set up to be.

But that's a convenient fact that is often left out.

"The Art of Defecation - How to turn your anatomy into a brown (f)art factory"

It could have an entire chapter just on fiber maxing:

Another could be on shit polishing with the mythbusters method.

You don't have to rent from a landlord, you should have the ability to rent from a nonprofit, a co-op, etc. Housing is a human right and should never be about profit.

That is true, however the last few elections have seen strong increases in youth voter turnout. And that makes sense given the now broadened popularity of mail in voting, the climate crisis, etc.

In addition to all the things said elsewhere in this thread, younger demographics are less likely to engage with polling, which is likely effecting the outcome of the polls. The emails/texts/phone calls/etc just get ignored, so that leaves the older generations as the only ones who actually answer.

I know the polls try to take that into account, but it's never going to be possible to do so perfectly.

So tldr: fuck the polls go vote, and make sure your friends/family votes

Like, you know he’s not personally involved in the design or manufacture of these things right

Not everybody does. I've seen some threads, mostly on insta, where people were fallomg over themselves to get on their fucking knees to slob on Elon's nob. I get that the average insta user isn't the brightest, but people like that do exist.

And it leaves a bad taste in my mouth, because there is a chance that the hard work of the engineers, laborers, and Shotwell will be used for Elon's fame throughout history.

So yeah, fuck Elon. The tech is cool as fuck though.

Veritasium didn't really give the full picture though. He was only really looking at rated based voting systems, but there are more systems out there than that.

Hopefully instead of turning into a bunch of e-waste, a bunch of "useless" desktops flood refurbishers, and refurbished desktops become even cheaper. I wouldn't mind replacing my dying media server.

we’d like to shoot them down before US personnel are killed potentially escalating this even further?

So we're sending more personal instead of getting them out of the situation? Gymnastics.

Yeah. It takes some real mental gymnastics to think that getting rid of parking minimums, getting rid of a harmful government regulation, increasing freedom, is a bad thing.

Car centric infrastructure is less accessible though.

And I love how cute it is that you think there are “car lobbyists”.
