    Let’s refine your comment.

    In a majority rules, representative democracy, the peoples’ voice is heard through electing officials that promise to vote on behalf of the constituents.

    This is seen to good effect in the legislative branch, where specific candidates hold office for short terms. But as empirical data suggests, the two party system is still relied upon, especially when it comes to less-than-ideally informed voters.

    When it comes to presidential candidates, who wield far greater power over longer terms, voters are averse to the risk of giant, sweeping changes.

    There have been numerous popular third-party candidates vying for the presidency, but none that sufficiently capture a voter base. So, therefore it is equated to throwing the vote away

    But imo, long live Bernie. I would have voted with my soul

    I like the tool and am going to keep playing with it, but in my first run I’ve found that it seems to have an issue with the “App Store” vs “terminal command” installation question. My final results, having chosen “terminal commands,” listed some distros as not recommended because of manual install, including arch, gentoo, void, etc. Otherwise big thumbs up

  • You clearly don’t know what you’re talking about. Their CPUs are ARM based, so yes, they can power down more efficiently than x86 and therefore squeeze a bit more battery life. However, they charge $2500 for a $1500 machine and every minor upgrade to them costs wayyyyy more than market value.

    Which is fine. Apple can sell whatever product they want and if consumers buy them, then good, people are getting what they want and Apple is profitable. But don’t sit here and tell the world that it’s a “competitive” product. It’s an overpriced, fashionable, niche computer.

    Also, the company your looking for alongside intel is AMD




  • Edit: I was corrected below, I had it wrong. But I’ll leave my original post unaltered, just know to read further

    You’ve got some replies already, but I (not a lawyer) feel like you don’t quite have “entrapment” right.

    Entrapment is when an average person might be duped into doing something unlawful in a circumstance where it might appear lawful or at least appear moral to the average person.

    I don’t trust this example to hold up entirely, but here is a go at it: hitchhiking is illegal most places in the US, but should an officer pose as a hitchhiker that appears mortally wounded beg for a ride, you pick them up to take to the hospital, then they fine you for picking up a hitchhiker, would constitute as entrapment





  • Editing to add: I was angered by what I saw. PFAs are dangerous and I’m not trying to detract from that point.

    I grew up in PA and have seen numerous cattle farms, dairy etc.

    This one in the video is heinous. Those cows are walking in their own shit. They are sickly. The humans that run that farm are detestable.

    Cows deserve to graze on grass and wildflower. This featured ‘farm’ is disgusting. PFAs might have gotten them shut down, but whoever reviewed them isn’t exactly giving bonus points for standard of living.

    Look at the way the cows react to him! They don’t want to be touched by him but the non-energetic movement must give a clue that they are not healthy and okay
