You're saying an actual human called that thing both "pen & ink" and a "typewrite"?

... Also labeled the clearly working lamp as "power outage"

... And doesn't understand how USB works

I don't buy it. Even if Ben did real drawing in the past, he clearly isn't now. Edit: Or as a reply pointed out, the signature could be fake too with Ben not involved.

"Give each candidate 1-5 stars where 5 is best, like you're a movie critic" should do I'd think

They really should try harder to ID the unknown(s).

Anything is better than FPTP, but for ranked choice that's the only thing good about it. Far too complex and doesn't even eliminate strategic voting. Other systems are better in my opinion such as score or approval.

It happens on the left side also.
I can't agree that it's a good thing for the voters in general to have situations where voting for your favorite helps your least favorite win, even if in this specific case it would be good for us.

That's why I like systems such as approval or score voting, but at least this reduces it slightly.

Oops, I meant the can't-run-as-independent law, not the special election thing.

It hurts us this time, but in general it actually sounds like good common sense to me, reducing one of the big flaws of first-past-the-post elections.

Edit: I was referring specifically to the "can't run as independent after losing primary" law, I meant to quote that initially but accidentally assumed the person I was replying to was also talking about it.

Better than the current leadership for sure.

America could use a leader who understands the need to tally me banana. Respect for the working class.

They sure do. Tragic how bullying ends up being passed along like that.

Regarding the last sentence, that's ship time, on earth it would be over 12 years. Someone can do the math to figure out how many earth years, but note that the ship seems to accelerate at around 1 g for half the journey, getting very close to C, then flips and decelerates for the other half.

No, but not a bad guess given what I wrote. I won't confirm or deny any more guesses though.

 

Here's a mild introduction to their style. (Also just one of my favorites)

 

The links inside the linked post are relative links, such as xkcd which is a link to /c/xkcd@lemmy.world

Boost does not open them when tapped, flashing an error instead.

There are unfortunately some subreddits which are still the best place to find timely info about certain topics - for example video game subs run by the developers of the game. Lemmit is a way to subscribe to those while not giving Reddit any more "engagement" or ad views.

The bot that runs Lemmit only posts on its own instance, so users like me only see it when we subscribe explicitly (or the All view I guess, but that's a mixed bag already. Edit: and each user could choose to ban it if they want)
