17 C here as well. I used to find it comfortable but as I get older, I'm needing more and more clothes or blankets. I blame my thinning hair.

Same. I came on with the original Google play music. I can't believe that was nearly 13 years ago... Oh how I miss Google play music.

Plus 1 for Ahoy! So happy he seems to be back making videos a bit more consistently.

IIRC they sold and shipped 2 generations of CPUs that were essentially defective and unrepairable.

They feed their young through regurgitation so they do have the ability! Now can it be projected at a distance? Hopefully someone can inform us lol.

Made me think of this Futurama scene.

Clearly I'm not if you read my original post. But it seems you don't want to have an actual conversation on the matter.

First I want to say I appreciate your time and your responses. I appreciate having an actual conversation on the matter because I truly am interested in your thoughts and what you think the best approach may be.

Trust me, I don't just want to change how we vote, I think that many changes need to be made to our government. My biggest question is how do you think we can make that happen? My opinion (just an opinion) is that the people have a much better chance with making changes through local elections and that the democratic party is more likely (at least at the moment) to put us in the right direction. Yeah, it's not going to fast or easy.

I consider myself independent. I always tried to vote for the best candidate no matter the party. Then after 2016, I realized that overall the GOP was toxic for the country. I already didn't like the Democratic party leadership but figured that while they suck, it's much more dangerous for Trump/the GOP to be in charge again.

Again, I appreciate your time and if you can, please share what you think may be the best option forward. I know you mentioned voting 3rd party but what else do you think people should do?

So what would you rather instead? A combo of fascist and genocidal?

May I ask why? Is it for a single reason or multiple?

I agree that there's likely no 'perfect' system of government. Mostly because power corrupts most. But clearly the two party system is extremely dangerous so I still want a change to another method. Yes, ranked choice voting isn't perfect but not trying to change/improve is giving up.

I do want to ask, it seems like you are fine with another Trump term. Do you not think fascism growth would be greater under his presidency? Do you think he won't support the Israel government or worse, provide even more to them?
