It's worse than not voting. Because of the Spoiler Effect, voting 3rd party actually helps your least favorite major candidate.

Unfortunately, the US's winner-takes-all voting system makes it so that your (entirely reasonable and otherwise simply correct) mindset leads to what's called the Spoiler Effect, where a third party vote actually just ends up helping your least favorites. Because of this, the winner-takes-all system inevitably leads to two dominant parties, and being forced to vote for the shiniest of two turds. To fix this, we just need a different voting system. I'm partial to approval voting, but more likely that'd be ranked choice.

I'm indifferent to the content, but I fucking hate that they took the name Game Theory. I can't talk about this genuinely fascinating topic just about anywhere without kids screaming about the channel.

I fucking hate that extraversion is a measured trait 🙄

Billionaires talking about expecting less is peak irony.

Seems easy enough to charge all of them

Trans people have existed for as long as people have existed.

A hello world in MIPS is impressive by itself.
