  • Yes Obviously the Senate Should be Abolished

    Jump

  • No. The point is to give participation to a) the people on a federal level, I.e. the House of Representatives, and b) the states, especially with regards to laws that directly effects the states, I.e. the Senate.

    These are two different kinds of representation and are important to strike a balance between State and Federal powers.

    Abolishing the Senate would disempower the states and turn the US into a centrally managed government without any input or representation on the state level.

    The current method of having two senators per state (or two electors per state extra for the presidential election) is crap. On that behalf I am with you. But the bicameral system as such is important, and should be fixed instead of abolished.

  • Don't abolish it, just give it representatives in relation to the states' number of citizens. The difference from the House would still be that they would represent the states. In some countries, such a Senate's members are actually bound to vote according to their states' parliaments decisions.

  • Any problems with that?

  • Border cops detained me for hours without explanation. They won’t tell me why.

    Jump

  • Why the fuck should they care? The American justice system is basically defunct by now, exactly how the fascist government wants it to be.

  • Trump wildly claims hospitals are performing ‘reverse surgery’ on trans patients ’at my order'

    Jump

  • He makes something up that his hardcore fanatics would consider "good". That's all.

    He is running into the situation that even his core base notices that they cannot afford food or fuel anymore, and that his ICE is not just taking "criminals" off the streets, but also their underpaid and exploitable slaves employees.

  • Log Cabin Republicans announce they no longer support trans rights - LGBTQ Nation

    Jump

  • It is stupid enough to vote Republican if you are gay, but then being traitorous against fellow victims of the conservative rage machine is really a human low point.

  • Is there any tape media backup system that works through USB?

    Jump

  • One place to look at are web sites dealing with company bankruptcies. They are good for purchasing electronics and tools.

    Back when windows and office licenses were bound to a sticker with a key number, I bought a stack of broken laptops for 10€. They were leftovers from an auction - nobody wanted them. I removed and tested RAM and harddisks, and then cut out the bottom of those laptops where the license stickers were. I sold each set of licenses, Windows and Office, for 10€ each, making a good profit. And kept the RAM and HDs that worked for my own use.

  • If you knew you'd likely receive a million dollars, 5 years from today, would you do anything differently in preparation?

  • I'd learn what I can about investment strategies, and to determine between good and bad ones.

  • Grand Jury Declines to Indict Man Caught on Camera Destroying Flock Pole

  • For once, the law was working.

  • Why are Republicans undoing worker heat protections?

    Jump

  • Simple answer. The right people were sufficiently bribed.

    Having people killed by heat is cheaper than giving them AC, water, breaks, and other protection. Some of those potential savings went into the pockets of people in charge to buy this law.

  • A bit pricy for home use with 8-10k bucks...

  • EA staff fear new Saudi Arabia owners will police their games: "Projects just won't get signed because they don't align explicitly with what the Saudi government wants"

    Jump

  • Imagine a game like Lara Croft, but the main character wears a Burqua.

  • Regarding Sci-fi: Do you prefer it to lean more into the Sci element or the Fi element?

    Jump

  • Definitely the Sci side. If I want to read fantasy, there is always the Fantasy genre.

    There is nothing worse that Grimms Fairy Tales put in space like Star Wars.

  • Did you, read this, in, his voice?

    Jump

  • I just edited a book where the author had too many commas in his grammar...

  • What's your favorite song lyric?

    Jump

  • "Hamlet" by the group "Wise Guys". The whole song text is a very good summary of Shakespeare's text. Actually better than something I've seen being used in schools. And, of course, with a twinkle in the eyes.

  • Recommendations to watch Youtube on TV

    Jump

  • If you have a RPi, install Mozillla Firefox, and Ublock. The only way to watch YT without going nuts.

  • That's the main reason why you don't save data to one drive, unless you have at least one local backup.

    And if you put anything on one drive, you better just put an encrypted backup there. No plain data.
