This is a new one for me, but now sits right along 1149 as a favorite. Thanks for sharing this one!

RFC 1149 has always been my favorite RFC!

If you care for music that touches on climate change and class disparity, you could check out King Gizzard and The Lizard Wizard's albums Infest The Rats Nest and PetroDragonic Apocalypse; or, Dawn of Eternal Night: An Annihilation of Planet Earth and the Beginning of Merciless Damnation.
I really enjoy those albums even though I don't typically get into Metal music. For something that's not Metal, the song Plastic Boogie from their album Fishing For Fishies is also great.

This is really interesting. Without knowing there was a word for it, I've often found myself wishing people (including myslef at times) did a better job of the Connected Knowing approach.

The Unix Epoch is obviously the correct base for any calendar.

It's really refreshing to see someone else point out the issue of how the small size of the House results in shitty representation. I have never seen anyone else bring this up before, thank you!

This is exactly why we need the expert!

I own Groundhogs Day, and I would gladly buy this.

And what about when I find both candidate A and B to be incredibly distasteful? If I vote for C and terrible B wins over terrible A, I don't feel disappointed in the way I voted because I voted my conscience. I know this from experience.

I'll agree that the voting system is a part of the problem, but then maybe Democrats should get a little more serious about reforming that process. I don't see that as likely since that would challenge their duopoly privilege, but would love them to prove me wrong.

In the meantime, if a party wants me to vote for their candidate, they should put up a candidate I can support. I will not vote for someone that doesn't represent my values.

Have to strongly disagree. If there are going to be political parties, the more the better.

Unfortunately we don't have a Presidential primary this year, when we desperately need one. So our choice is Biden or ... Full-on fascism.

You seem to make my point here. You don't think more parties are needed, but you want to keep pushing the "vote for my guy because the other guy is a monster" line. Sorry, but I'm not going to vote for someone based on who they are not. You point out there are only two shitty choices after stating that we don't need any more choices...

Absolutely! I was just saying to a friend that if nothing else comes of this, maybe we finally start seeing congress take a serious look at the Pentagon's inability to pass an audit.
