Allow me to address the elephant in the room: The decades-long outsourcing of domestic manufacturing to China was not an insidious Chinese conspiracy for dominance but the greedy strategy of the American ruling class to explode its profit margins by exploiting global inequality.

@Anibyl yes but it reduced the liberals to a third party and folks were saying we would become a two party system. Which we didn’t.

@Anibyl Folks said the same thing about the NDP win in 2011.

I’m back in school again for the last time- so here’s my day. Alt has descriptions of each phot. #woodworking #marquetry #artdeco

The really funny thing about voting reform is there's a bloc which agrees first past the post is the worst option; but reformists are violently split between IRV, approval, and Condorcet-math-ranked-voting camps, so their support is split and they can't accomplish anything. This is the exact problem voting reform is meant to fix!

In effect we (North American culture) are continuously running a first-past-the-post poll for what voting system we should have, and first-past-the-post keeps winning.

@SynthGal I agree to a point- what the NDP was doing nationally wasn’t working either. It’s also a weird election in general. We could have said the same thing when the ndp got to official opposition about the liberals ages ago too.

So who knows.

@moss it’s a good result all things considered!

@moss Mittens!

@ldottxt I can’t even imagine that, I’m so sorry.

US healthcare is fucked.

@moss But also, I feel like this is one of those "ask Chat GPT to write the letter for you" sort of things for the lols.

@moss and know that any slips from family, especially those who are supportive aren’t trying to hurt, it’s usually just habit, and those are hard to break.

Believe me, being the younger brother I got called my brothers name all the time.

But family being dicks about it? Fuck ‘em.

@moss me being the cishet I am can’t relate, so disregard by all means- I’d do it like bringing a s/o for dinner for the first time- which has been a phone call or the like saying “hey, I’m bringing my s/o for dinner, I hope you’ll make room”

Which inevitably gets that person to tell others coming and socially engineers the evening to be respectful ahead of time.

Obviously not the same, but it’s the method I’d use.

@mookie F1 as a sport has simply not been good in the current rules, and the ownership of F1 has been dreadful in trying to make things seem fair.

@mookie Yeah, even now he's cocky about his out in the first five laps

Nice day for a hike.

@mookie Really depends on if rules are applied to Verstappen's corner apex antics.

Not bad for an evening in fusion 360. Need to fix the legs though, they’re too chonky.
