  Yes, a better candidate would be ideal, and that should absolutely be pushed for in the primaries. What is your plan to help that?

  But everyone’s idea of an ideal candidate is different. If the Democrats don’t field a candidate you like in the general, what will you do? Will you withhold your vote, and in so doing help the party that is actively damaging the country win? What is your plan?

  We can sit here all day and complain about this side or that side and how the Democrats are failing, but in the end that means NOTHING without a plan to DO something about it.

  What is it your are going to DO?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[deleted]⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  That was a lot of valid complaining about the Democrats, but not one word that can be converted into an actionable plan.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[deleted]⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  That depend entirely on what that “something else” is. So far, all I’ve heard is either “don’t vote unless the candidate is ‘left enough’,” a vague and counter-productive inaction; or various calls to “tear down the system” with no indication of a plan how or what to replace it with.

  I’m not saying the Democrats are faultless, but empowering the people that are proactively causing harm doesn’t help.

  Then you will need to be aware that by not voting for the more left candidate, we will have a far right government for a couple of cycles at least. This will cost lives and further entrench them into power. It is why we have what we have right now. It will also drive left leaning candidates further right because they are going to cater to the people who actually vote. A far left candidate winning is still possible eventually, but a lot more damage is going to be done to a lot of innocent people in the mean time. Is this a cost you are willing to pay?

  No part of my statement said there were only two choices. It was in regard to all choices.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[deleted]⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Naivete at it’s finest. Reality is that the choices available to you will never conform to all of your desires, so in that sense, a choice is always going to be for the lesser evil. If you think there’s an action you can take to avoid making a choice at all, then reality will disabuse you of that notion as well.

  So a person should take the entire course of antibiotics that are prescribed to them. I guess I’m confused about why you said to the person who said you should take your entire course of antibiotics is making false assumptions.

  Okay, so how does the average, non-medically-trained person know when the best time to stop is?

  Shame on you for wanting to have fun in a meme post! Shame, I say!

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨How about the digestive system?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  But can you measure something that doesn’t exist? Can the absence of something be something in and of itself?

  No artist gets paid to create placeholder art during development. They get paid for the final art pieces that are used in the game itself. No actual AI art was used in the final game except for a few accidentally included bits that were not correctly replaced with the final art and that issue was corrected. No artists were harmed in the making of this game.

  Wouldn’t that make the face on the right non-planar?

  Nah. That would piss off the mailroom employees, but they don’t control who gets sent mail. The weight costing money does hurt the people who make the marketing decisions, though.

  I believe the intent is to use appdata for user-specific configs and programdata for system-wide configs.

  This is why you can never disprove creationism sufficiently to convince a young Earth creationist. The hypothesis is unfalsifiable.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨this one goes out to the urban planning nerds⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  We used to have them until several years ago they were deliberately removed. Their roots were destroying the roads and sidewalks, as well as infiltrating the underground infrastructure.
