Mac Allister was impeccable this match. Really excited to have him this season

Drinking milk has never been the same.

Yeah, came here to post this. Unless it’s made legally binding these statements mean fuck all.

I hadn’t even noticed that. Memmy has been quick to update, wouldn’t be surprised to see they addressed soon.

Not especially surprising given his time at Red Bull, but awesome nonetheless. Attacking mids who can also put in the work off the ball are so, so valuable to a counterpress.

On iOS the Memmy app has instance filtering. It seems like a custom filter, not something that is part of the Lemmy software.

Really good book! The magic system was refreshing (I read a lot of fantasy), it was well written, and and intelligence of the author shines through.

We bought a Tushy brand, and it pulls hot water from the plumbing directly under the sink. If you happen to have a sink right next to your toilet it might work for you. I’m not especially handy and I found Tushy’s instructions very straightforward.

That’s actually a really good question and I don’t know the answer. My best guess is that the founders didn’t intend that as a purpose of the EC, that it’s a secondary effect that modern political scientists have theorized.

You’re right that Washington pointed out the dangers of political parties, but that was in his Farewell Address which came at the end of his second term, by which time the Republican and Federalist factions were already becoming baked in and he had experience with Jefferson’s and Hamilton’s fighting within his administration. I don’t know that he or other framers were thinking of that when they designed the EC during the framing of the constitution eight-ish years prior.

For all I know, however, there might be a Federalist Paper that lays out partisan moderation as a function of the Electoral College. Maybe someone with more expertise can correct me here.

You’ve got little argument from me there.

Thank you for your kind words! I know many people struggle with politics and history, especially in school. It’s never too late to re-engage through books, movies, etc. as your time, interests, and happiness allow :)

In many ways, yes. There were also abolitionists and abolition sympathizers among the framers. It was a complicated set of individuals and the resulting constitution was complicated as well. It’s a document that simultaneously enshrines liberty and white supremacy. There’s a real Jekyll and Hyde nature to American democracy.
