The reply from mpa92643 that your reply is under went into detail about all the things that Biden and Democrats have done over the last few years. If you don't think those are massive triumphs given the political climate and the very narrow majorities the Dems had, I don't know what to tell you.

Those are things that weren't just stopping bad things from happening.

Edit to address your question as well: the most substantive thing you can start with is voting Democrat and not any third party. Giving Democrats consistent and large enough majorities to combat the gerrymandering is vitally important to actually moving the country forward.

I understand being frustrated with the two-party system but given what we've got now, voting for anything other than the democratic ticket is detrimental to your views. Voting third party in our current political climate can literally only help Republicans.

As I said in another reply, until we have national ranked-choice voting, voting for a third party candidate is not in any way helpful, no matter how much you dislike the party. At the end of the day, it's going to be far better having a Democratic majority and president than anyone from the GOP, who are an existential threat (climate change, reproductive rights, class equity, etc).

He is an anti-vaxer that proclaims vaccines cause autism, despite that being thoroughly debunked. So no, not going to put any trust in anything else he says.

Also, there's a reason a bunch of right-wing tech bros are pumping money at him - specifically to fracture the liberal/independent vote to help Trump.

Having a two party system sucks, but until we get nation-wide ranked choice voting, it's not going anywhere. And if you have liberal-leaning views, there's no question that any Democratic candidate is going to be far better than any GOP candidate, by basically any metric.

They make the link between inclusiveness/reproductive rights to living and working in a state clear right at the top of the article:

Each year, as part of our overall assessment of state business climates, CNBC’s America’s Top States for Business study considers how welcoming each state is to workers and their families.

Life, Health and Inclusion is one of the study’s ten categories of competitiveness. And this year, with the nationwide worker shortage so severe, the category is taking on increased importance in our methodology.

We consider multiple quality of life factors, including crime rates, environmental quality, and health care. We also look at the quality and availability of childcare, which is one of the most important factors in getting parents back into the workforce.

Casting the widest possible net for workers means not turning anyone away. So we consider inclusiveness in state laws by measuring protections against discrimination, as well as voting rights. And with surveys showing a substantial percentage of women considering abortion restrictions when making a choice of where to live in the wake of the Supreme Court overturning Roe v. Wade, reproductive rights are part of this year’s equation as well.

Don't forget that they then went and did the exact thing that they used as an excuse for holding up the Obama nomination - voted in Coney Barret in an election year.

They are truly disgusting, self-serving garbage with no regard for any of the consequences they are bringing down on the public. Essentially, a complete and utter lack of empathy. Which is a trait I tend to find in the people in my life that still vote for Trump/Republicans.

I've still got all my old GPUs from my GTX 260 onward sitting in my basement (even came with me through a move), so I'm probably not one to provide input. 😬

I think the thing you're forgetting is that users have the autonomy to find an instance (or create their own) that doesn't filter that stuff out.

It also seems to me that instances do a good job of describing themselves and it should be pretty easy to get an idea of what they will/won't allow.

I have absolutely zero knowledge on deep sea submersibles but every bit of reporting I've read or listened to over the past week has said that carbon fiber is a very poor choice for a deep sea vehicle. Given its propensity to eventually delaminate, it is much more likely to fail over repeated uses than titanium or the other materials the industry uses (I've primarily heard comparisons to titanium).
