You aren't wrong but...
Can you imagine the spectacle of an ancient senator literally taking a stand for something he/she believes in?
That'd be pretty powerful.
I somewhat disagree.
Music seems like it's followed a similar trajectory of most things where it's become more centralized and mass marketed. Music has to appeal to the masses for studios to pick it up. So there is an incentive to find music that appeals to the most people and turns off the fewest.
Similarly, you have a handful of studios telling you what is "good" and pushing it. Even if it isn't great, it's good enough that people listen and then they can create the hype behind it where it might not organically exist.
Some music bubbles up organically from independent artists but quite a bit is mass marketed and produced by big studios. And they have the money so they can choke out smaller artists.
The issue with the filibuster,now, is that it's too easy. It needs to be hard like the old days.
Ironically, because it's so easy we actually don't even see filibusters often anymore. It's usually the threat of a filibuster that stops legislation in its tracks. If it was harder, where you stood for days, then it might not actually stop legislation. At least it would be brought to force the issue.
You should have to earn it.
I'm sure the geriatric core of our Congress will thrilled to have to stand for hours to prove their points.
And that seems entirely reasonable to me. Unless I am missing something
Maybe I'm just tired or being dense but I have no idea what you are referring to in the post.
I was interested in hearing his/her opinion because I enjoyed reading his comment and it sounded like theyd thought about this a decent amount.
In your opinion what are those uncomfortable truths?
I wonder how much we could get if we sold it back to France?
We could keep nawleans though.
Oh umm. I would never make my password this...
I think if you do allow 8 character passwords the only stipulation is that you check it against known compromised password lists. Again, pretty reasonable.
School is usually cancelled because the schools are often polling locations.
It makes it all the more dumb to not have it as a national holiday.
I literally couldn't pass one for something I needed to access.
I had to switch to the audio thing eventually and it took me multiple tries with that. I should just write a script that uses a fucking bot next time.
