  • Am I right in my understanding that the 'super high' turnout of 2020 was still less than 50% of eligible voters? That really looks like maybe a minimum turnout threshold should exist :(

  • Problem is it took Roman empire hundreds of years of decline, the world now sure is faster but it can still take a lot of time for contemporary empires to fall

  • Patriot isn't someone blindly rooting for the government, I would say. Also I wish we didn't have so many shitty governments to remind us about that

  • I tried to learn assembly for that, but never did after all

  • I should have added a '/s', but I thought it is somewhat obvious, it really reminds of all the 'git gud at C instead of doing Rust'

  • I need a sidekick like that, too

  • It's a dig at people who don't want to switch to memory-safe languages like rust.

    Now that's a stretch, it could be anything (no, it couldn't, although I think this may have application to some other pairs of languages)

  • His Spidey Sense™ is so strong he responds before the question is asked (also this is why he made it in time, he was chasing a taxi an hour in advance to be just a bit late)

  • You're right, I mixed up sophistry and fallacy. Better check next time

  • see them as tactical conversational attacks

    Well, fallacies originally were not meant to fool yourself, but to win argument by any means. So you are describing a fallacy, even if it's not called that

  • Only third party sync, I use Syncthing for that, works great most of the time

  • Also you missed their very subtle joke.

    If it was a joke, it went way overboard

  • The article you linked (twice) has this text (highlight is mine):

    The term also may be used to refer to the previous status of the Swan Islands, Hawaii, Guam, Puerto Rico, and the Philippines, as well as the Trust Territory of the Pacific Islands when it existed

    And a bit further in the Former Insular Areas it lists:

    Puerto Rico: military government, 1899–1900; insular government, 1900–1952; became a commonwealth on July 25, 1952

    It contradicts what you're saying about Puerto Rico still being an Insular Area

  • a separate country of US citizens.

    How's that supposed to work?

  • By the way, how does it? I didn't hear any news for quite some time already 🤔

    that it does work out too well, even if maybe sometime in the future the ones who survived will live better, maybe

    1. What could've fit in a screen of text should not be a video at all
    2. I save videos for later all the time, I just watch them never
    3. If some information is not visual-first, and not entertainment, if it may be important to people and should be spread, it also better not be a video. Maybe accompanied by a video to make use of audience reach, if you already have a channel with an audience, that is.
  • Probably not the last one

  • Sometimes this is useful, though. Other times it's infuriating 😅

  • The IP owner can print more, but if the owner is gone or legally unclear, then yes. Although I don't think this was the real intention, because greed looks like a simpler reason and fits
