  • Fix the electoral college by either abolishing it entirely (personal choice) or fixing the house to properly represent the population such that the senate doesn't cause an oversized share of electoral reps. The Wyoming Rule is one option.

    We could also just go back to something like one rep per 100,000 population in a state, which would in turn make the house have 3,000 members. This sounds wild until you realize Parliament in the U.K. has 650 members... representing a population roughly 1/5 ours.

  • Unrelated one- https://www.neowin.net/amp/ublock-origin-lite-maker-ends-firefox-store-support-slams-mozilla-for-hostile-reviews/

    The two in I use are for twitter-

    https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/blue-blocker/ - Blocked in Firefox since after 0.3.5, which makes it useless since 0.3.5 was prior to the forced change to x, iirc.

    https://github.com/dimdenGD/OldTwitter - Removed from Firefox entirely. Still available on Chrome.

    Combined those two make the site look like old twitter, lets me save videos with a right click, and blocks twitter blue users automatically.

  • I'm only using it atm for extensions that are, ironically enough, blocked on Firefox.... Though thats only one website in particular.

  • Clearly he should have slammed him.

  • Same but in my defense I only ever go to the music tab on spotify because I have no interest in any podcasts.

  • Personal reddit conspiracy theory as to why image hosting is on site:

    1. r/fatpeoplehate exists, does its thing (hating fat people)
    2. They get some images removed from imgur, the image host du juor of reddit at the time.
    3. They go on the offensive and start harassing fat imgur workers.
    4. The subreddit gets banned.
    5. Under a year later, reddit puts in image uploading.

    My theory is that 3 resulted in imgur hitting up reddit and threatening to block the site if they didn't reign in fatpeoplehate. Reddit did, by 4, because the alternative was no images and that would absolutely fuck reddit up. This in turn leads to 5 to prevent that powerplay again.

  • Usenet and bbs erasure.

  • Somethingawful is still going strong, even after Lowtax died.

  • So that’s how I, a single guy who lives alone, ended up with 60 eggs

    If the lore is accurate, after eating all of those you should be roughly as big as a barge.

    Or dead from the cholesterol. One of the two.

  • My point


    your head

  • Bet a lot of CEO's thought computers were a fad too.

  • Banning everyone takes a bot, which is rate limited. Same with a trash flood.

    Automod though, you can easily set to do things like remove all new comments and submissions, remove stuff on one report (which lets you use the argument no one really believes that you're letting the users have more control.), allow new submissions but lock every comment section, or allow only select users to post, whether based on karma, username, flair, etc.

    Possibilities are endless really.

  • like 10 seconds in automod to get right around that shit lmao.

  • If Vance gets absolutely demolished, which by all available evidence seems to be likely, Trump will clamor for another debate to try and fix things. If its middling, probably not.

  • The ol NIMBY/"I got mine, fuck you" combo pack

  • Old folks are retired, thus more free time, and I'm guessing there's a bit of civic duty imprinted on them as well.

  • Which would be replaced with “Can the Democrat win California by a large enough margin?”

    If it's going to be fucked either way I'd rather at least have it be fucked in a way where every vote counts the same rather then a Wyoming vote being worth like 4 times a California vote owing to the house of representatives population being limited which means Californians aren't being properly represented in the house.

  • Choose wisely, 500gb game from the western dev, or winter heating from the eastern.

  • As opposed to now where like 10 states are tossups and the rest are locked in?

  • I just assumed that they forget the horrid shit because of some twisted confirmation bias.

    Personally I figured it was that so much bad shit happened so constantly that it got remembered as just one bad thing rather then one hundred bad things. Damn near every day Trump was doing something new and stupid.
