  • Every car that blinds me is some extremely new 2020-2024 year car. I get blinded by every third car on the road. The amount of people that get aftermarket headlights installed is very much not a third of all car owners. I can get behind poorly aimed by the dealer but you are wildly overestimating the number of people who have aftermarket lights.

    "Voters in RCV can’t always safely vote 1st choice for their honest favorites Ranked Choice proponents often make the inaccurate claim that “With RCV, voters can honestly rank candidates in order of choice. Voters know that if their first choice doesn’t win, their vote automatically counts for their next choice instead. This frees voters from worrying about how others will vote and which candidates are more or less likely to win.”

    In fact, you can only safely rank candidates honestly in RCV if your favorite either has no chance at all or is a very strong candidate. There is no guarantee that if your favorite is eliminated your next choice will actually be counted."

    Basically if the “green” party or whatever gets big enough to oust blue then instead of the green splitting and most if not all of green voters going to blue and blue winning, blue splits and then it’s down to what the blue voters put as secondary. If the blue voters were 50/50 green/red then it’s very possible red wins (which is the worst outcome for a green voter. Most greens would prefer blue over red.)

    However, saying all that, I STILL would choose RCV over FPTP. I just wish STAR would get some recognition since RCV actually doesn’t solve all our issues. RCV does have one thing that STAR doesn’t, and that’s that more people know what it is and it has been used in real elections.










  • Right I’m actually kinda addicted so I like make time for my “dailies”. Usually like an hour a day -ish. Don’t think I’ve missed a day for around 250 days now. I know I’d probably enjoy it more if I played story games or something but it is nice to just turn off my brain for an hour. Kinda feels like how my parents would brain-off watch TV for hours.

    Also I have an Google sheet with checkmarks to make sure I do everything every day so I spend the least amount of time on each game rather than thinking.





  • I’ve been playing through the Halo series recently as I missed the craze growing up because I had a PlayStation and I’m not really getting it. I’m guessing it’s just something you had to be there for? My first game was Super Mario World on the SNES and I loved COD4 when it dropped but trying to play Halo now is just not doing it for me I guess.
