And that is a very recent turnaround. It’s only been very recently that people have started to come around on Israel.
Uh…it was turning around like mid 2024. This is from March of 2024, and the numbers only keep falling from there:

I’m only looking at Independents and Democrats; I don’t care about the % for the Republicans since they weren’t going to vote for Harris either way.

- Comment on What is the best way to drop 50lbs in two months without spending alot and no fad diets? 2 weeks ago:
I can’t speak for anyone else, but physical activity acts as a mild appetite suppressant for me. So it reduces calories in while increasing calories out, with the former being more significant for weight loss.
- Comment on What is the optimal handle to chain length for a flail? 3 weeks ago:
I believe a mace will perform better than a sword against an armored opponent, or at least against some types of armor, so it might just be “back up to the primary” in some cases.

- Comment on What is the optimal handle to chain length for a flail? 3 weeks ago:
So to give an answer to your question, if you’re going to use a chain-based weapon, the optimum length is long enough to completely wrap around somebody. And in that situation, you want a fairly light, small business end, not a big metal ball.
So maybe something like a rope dart, meteor hammer, or bolas? I’ve seen some YouTube videos on meteor hammers, and it looks like one way to use them is by throwing the weighted end as a projectile and using the chain (or very often a rope) to retrieve/retract it.
I agree though, flails as shown above seem like an unwieldy garbage weapon. If I had to use one, I’d want a very short chain on it, so probably 2nd from the left on the bottom row.

“Pop” is from the sound you get when opening a bottle.
It’s not champagne. I’d probably be ok with calling it “fizz” or something though.
I don’t know the onomatopoeia for opening a can, but I wouldn’t call that a “pop” either.

Yeah, this change has no practical effect on me. But removing features is concerning nonetheless.

Unless the plan is to outbreed the “ignorant masses”, this is going to happen anyway.
If I was a smart person, I’d rather that my descendants not have to live in an idiocracy. So non-reproduction acts as a hedge against that.

No strategy is perfect, but even places like Russia and China have floundered in bringing up fertility rates.
The irony is that the historically effective way to manage below-replacement rates is via immigration. But that’s sort of the crux of the post.
- Comment on At this point, what should we do about the ICE Agents and Trump and such? 4 weeks ago:
Unless your plan is to try and outbreed conservative parents, the children of leftists will be outnumbered anyway.
Parenting is very resource intensive, both in time and material resources, and is thus an inefficient means of transmitting ideologies. You could likely use that time and resources for outreach and pull children of conservatives to the left.

Also, most authoritarian governments still have elections.
Yup. Russia had elections during its last cycle. The outcome may or may not have been pre-determined.

Birthstrike - stop reproducing until the bullshit stops. They constantly whine and cry about falling birth rates because it is their Achilles’ heel.
Unlike a labor strike, we can keep this up for as long as we need to. Indeed, it is actually beneficial in the short term which makes it an easy “sell” to people in economically precarious situations. It also provides some level of mitigation to your own personal situation if conditions further deteriorate.
In contrast to street protests, it avoids conflict and keeps people away from danger. It doesn’t require missing work, risking injury, or facing detainment.
The downside is that it is a very slow sort of strike that won’t become apparent for several months. It’s more of a long term strategy and won’t provide any immediate relief.
