Just another day at work today. Counting down the days until Starfield then I might take some long service leave to just be consumed by it. Provided it isn't a buggy unplayable mess. Okay it's going to be buggy but please at least be playable and good.

It's going okay! Watched Barbie with my wife yesterday and that was surprisingly hilarious and now at work on morning tea break. Looking forward to going home to play video games!

Turned on some music to start my day and dreamed of the house I'd never own...

Caring about people downvoting your comment is very Redditor of you too.

I thought it would but surprisingly he seems to get into matches with a latency of about 80ms which isn't too bad honestly.

It still makes me laugh though.

Definitely a USA thing since Comcast were mentioned.

Here in New Zealand I have a friend who uses his Mobile hotspot to connect his Xbox to it to play games online at no extra cost from the mobile provider.

I've never been able to find a band even close to the sound Lostprophets had and it's sad because I just can't bring myself to listen to them again.

Weren't the rest of the band starting a band with the Thursday singer when all this went down?

I didn't bother to check out what came of that as I can't stand Thursday singers voice.

Here's a link to his Insta!

Not sure we're going to make it there now as my wife is feeling a bit under the weather so hopefully I can check it out this week.

It's going well, nice cold Sunday in Wellington.

Going to finally hit up Ricks Cheesesteaks at Willis Lane, the locals in Welly might know Rick from Soul Shack and he's moved on to a new food venture.

Other than that, probably spend most of the day gaming!

Definitely an interesting topic for sure!

I guess most other governments would never need a system like that given I don't imagine there's any other country in the world that is made up of as many States as the US.

We have an interesting electoral system in NZ called MMP which is essentially a first across the post system so even if a party gets more votes than anyone else, it they didn't get enough to cross the post/finish line, they don't win and so a coalition can be formed by smaller parties that got less votes to get across the finish line and therefore the country is then run by multiple political parties.

this resulted in something called the Three Fifths compromise where slave-holding states could count each slave as 3/5 of a freed man

This part was fascinating. Thanks for taking the time to reply, that was interesting to read!

It baffles me too.

There was an antivax mandate protest at Parliament here last year and there were actually people in the crowd holding Trump 2024 posters. Like wtf?!

This is a great and informative response! Thank you!

The analogy of farmer vs urban is great. Thanks!

After reading that second link, it definitely seems like they're saying the average citizens weren't smart enough to decide who should be president lol.

Thanks for the links.

All the Republican/Trump supporters I've ever met here in New Zealand (why? Who the hell knows)are batshit crazy. Most of them Christians too surprise surprise.

Agreed, I'm not sure what this example is meant to convey but I don't think it's working haha

It's not rude where I live. You generally give them a short double honk and then you see them wave in the mirror to say sorry as they start moving. I usually give 3-5 seconds before I do it.

Looks more like Superliminal!

You tell em! Also looking forward to your app! Sync was the last Reddit app I used and am looking forward to Sync for Lemmy Pro!
