Yes, there is. Even Xitter quickly changed their LLM to point to a government website whenever voting questions were asked so they have no liability.

No, but it takes a child to feel morally superior when they enabled people to hurt others because the other option was imperfect.

That is the most selfish possible way to approach life. You’re not the main character, other people’s lives are at stake. Voting a specific way just to make yourself feel better knowing you are endangering others by doing so is not some morally superior choice.

Risking letting someone win who conspired to overthrow an election and who has promised his supporters that if they elect him this time they won’t have to vote ever again. Selfish naive children. Fuck Joe Biden and Kamala Harris and the rest of the Democratic machine, at least you’ll be able to vote again and you might actually get to negotiate for things that make people’s lives better.

I don’t have “a guy” I’m just not a naive child.

And if Trump wins because of your “morally superior” choice you’ll have only succeeded in helping Israel exterminate them faster. There will not be any discussions about whether to pause or halt shipments of arms.

It doesn’t work if that’s the last time you get a vote.

Tell that to all the people who will be hurt if that protest vote enables someone worse.

That’s not how it works. You want to force the party left then build movement from the ground up. Go out on the corner and collect signatures to change your voting system to ranked choice instead first past the post. Run for local office as a socialist or green.

The fact that all you have to do is once every 4 years push a button should tell you that it’s not the right thing to do to effect change.

Presidential elections are not about voting for a perfect candidate, very few elections are ever about that. They are about putting someone in power you are most capable of negotiating with. The person that is both capable of winning and closest to your ideals.

Go ahead and feel morally superior as your protest vote enables someone way worse to hurt way more people. All the women dying of ectopic pregnancies or sepsis from stillbirths they cannot abort are on you. The GOP will let Russia have Ukraine where they will rape and murder anyone who resists, and they will unconditionally increase funding for Israel’s genocidal land grab.

And you will think, “that’s not my fault, I voted for the not evil one.”

But that’s not true, because you could have voted for the person who is willing to negotiate on those things, but you chose to feel better about yourself instead of actually help anyone.

What about their arguing?

Those same morons didn’t vote in the primary to oust him.

But but, building a real third party from the ground up in local elections and/or changing our voting system from first past the post takes a lot of time and real effort. That’s a lot of hard work. It’s a lot harder than just showing up to one election every 4 years and casting a vote that makes you feel like you’re special and smarter than everyone else.

That is not at all what the comment you replied to meant. Anyone with reading comprehension would know that.

Fire up the barbecue!

I have tried them all, it’s Navidrome. It’s actually less resources for me to run 4 instances of Navidrome for my different users than it is to use any of the other servers that allow for separate user libraries. Just make sure you alter the folder scan interval, it’s stupidly frequent by default.

The Bel Dame series by Kameron Hurley is good. It starts with God’s War.

That’s because ALDI doesn’t cushion cost increases or sell loss leaders. If eggs shoot up in price 400% they immediately raise the price to match. Most grocery stores will try to eat at least some of that cost for some time hoping it will go down before they have to raise even further. That kind of pricing model means they need much larger margins on all their other products to afford that. Same way they sell milk and rotisserie chickens at a loss to get people in the store.

ALDI does not play those games and keeps their margins more consistent but their prices are more susceptible to spikes in costs.

The OLPC reborn. You can probably by one for a child in a developing nation for $1 while purchasing one for $300 for yourself.

It also sounds like the cost shock set in at some point and the vision was scaled back.
