The point of RCV isn’t to ensure your chosen candidate wins; it’s to ensure that whoever does win has at least some amount of approval from the majority of voters.
It does still have flaws, but it’s still far superior to the current system the US uses.
I guarantee this sender has opinions about “The Globalists.”
I seem to recall the thin-skinned narcissist changed Twitter’s tabulation for views to include people just scrolling past it instead of actual clicks.
If they look at the water fountain, then the toilet, and then they choose the toilet, well maybe they’re not able to be helped.
But sticking with this analogy, imagine you see someone hanging a sign saying “water fountain” over a toilet, and you’re told you have to leave it there because of “respectful dissent” and “if someone chooses the toilet, they’re not able to be helped.” Which makes more logical sense- telling every single passerby that despite the sign this toilet is in fact not a water fountain, or just taking the sign down and dealing with the few people who do question it?
Like, I get that heavy-handed opinionated overmoderation is a problem that should be addressed in some way. Forcing mods to blanket accept factual falsehoods isn’t the way to go about it.
Okay, so think about it like this:
Suppose your job is making wooden chairs. It’s takes you the exact same skills to make a wooden chair to sell for profit, as it does to make a wooden chair to donate to a chairless children’s charity, right? So why would you spend all your time and skills doing a job that’s eventually going to bankrupt you? While you might do a few chairs because you feel like it’s morally right, the bulk of your work is going to be selling chairs because that’s how you sustain yourself.
CEOs are in the same situation. A 500-person for-profit company takes the exact same skill set to run as a 500-person non-profit. So the reality is that non-profits need to either be competitive in pay with for-profits, or they have to be attractive in ways other than compensation so they can entice CEOs to work for them.
Now, none of that is to say that the scale of CEO compensation is appropriate, because it’s not. But that’s the calculus a non-profit has to make.
Whether it does or not is irrelevant; what matters is the perception among executives that it does.
A certain political party benefits from low voter turnout. Which, coincidentally, also happens to be the party working to get Trump elected and shield him from the repercussions of his crimes.
AccuWeather’s business model relies on “adding value” to government-provided data, and monetizing it. Maintaining a fleet of satellites isn’t cheap.
…huh. TIL.
The last time I had to download the unifying software it was more obvious than that.
And to add insult to injury…
Now you’ve gotten your inventory counts off. There’s also a (marginal) cost difference between the two size cartons. Of course, this needs to be balanced against customer satisfaction- there will be a non-zero number of customers who won’t want the upsell or to buy an alternative item, and so the question is how much business would you lose vs how much money you’d make offset with the extra time and corporate headache of reconciling inventory?
Not that Sonic shouldn’t do this, just throwing out some real-world considerations.

Edit: Boost for Android won’t let me post it either.
according to the article Gabe only owns about 25% of the company
The source for that number is the same Xitter that made up the rumor in the first place:
Insights from Dior, a prominent figure in the Counter-Strike community, reveal that Gabe Newell owns less than 25% of Valve.
Valve is not a public company. Unless Dior is on the board of Valve, or know someone who is, he doesn’t know the makeup of the ownership structure. Wikipedia cites a Forbes article that says Gabe owns “more than half” of Valve, although that article was published in 2011 so it’s possible that’s changed.
Also Dude, Ameriga isn’t the preferred nomenclature. Traitor-American, please.
Don’t forget the hundred-hour-long minigame of “Which order do these mods need to load in so they don’t break again?”
why does a mod need to care about a release date?
It’s in the article, dude:
The Fallout 4 script extender will be what breaks after the next-gen update, so the Fallout London team will have to just wait and see what happens and then change the framework before making everything compatible. These problems are why Fallout London’s release date got pushed back indefinitely.
They can’t release the mod until the Fallout 4 script extender gets updated to work with the update, since (like most mods) they rely on F4SE to add additional capabilities to the game.
Like, I wish the Jews/Joe Biden/Democrats were as competent and cool as right-wing fearmongers make them sound.
what are you even doing with your life
Based on what he’s said here and over on politics, I’d say he’s trying to create division using whatever wedge issue he thinks will get the most outrage.
It breaks down significantly when the cost of entry becomes prohibitively expensive.
You think you can build a better toothbrush? Go for it.
You hate your ISP and want to start a new one? Good fucking luck.
Thing is, this isn’t a “gotcha” to them. Their default assumption is “American = more qualified than anyone else” because they’re goddamn ignorant racists.
No one who is not American will ever be qualified in their eyes.
