I got a big banner page that asked me if I wanted to turn it on once I updated. Can't miss that really.

Bookmarks I use for pages I want to store for a longer time. Tab groups I can use for pages I have open at the moment, e.g. because I'm working on X and Y, so I group the tabs based on X or Y. But I don't need to keep the tabs between sessions.

Well that's A) not a basic human right (though I generally agree with it) but mostly B) a drivers license is not available to everyone. There are plenty of crimes that can see you get your license revoked entirely, potentially permanently.

If you've exhibited clear mental volatility, a tendency for mass violence or straight-up potential for terrorist activities, why should society trust you with a car? Perhaps experts should first determine the risk of you driving before allowing you to obtain a license.

Being allowed to drive is a privilege, not a right. It's fine to extend that privilege to those who are deemed fit to have it, so then it should also be fine to deny it to those who are deemed a danger.

I don't think that's the point.

Either you believe anyone could be rehabilitated, including Hitler. Or alternatively, you don't believe that, but that is an admission that there exists some line which if crossed means a person becomes irredeemable.

Then the question becomes: where is that line for you?

You might have a bad time with all the plagues that have gone extinct since then.

There's no "human right to drive". It's why you need to get a license in the first place.

That's a dark blue suit though, matching the dress code. Trump wore a much brighter blue.

And who put them there?

I mean, non-voters aren't much more progressive really. They're more likely to be independents (in the US at least). See:

They do skew a bit more D, but not massively so. They're also largely non-white, less well educated and poorer. It's a bit of a toss-up whether any of those demographics skew R or D.

I don't really see much evidence that they're more progressive, more centrist at best really. Although I suppose if you flatten political beliefs on a 1-dimensional axis, that does mean more progressive on average.

Do note that this differs per state, and voter turnout is also correlated with general results skewing harder in a certain direction. Complexities all around!

Most non-voters don't hold significantly different beliefs than the voting population. In non-competitive states, it means motivating them to vote is unlikely to tip the scales. Why bother tipping the results from 60% to 55% by spending millions on it? Better to allocate those funds to a 53% to 48% potential flip.

In battleground states they do try to reach these people.

It happened six times: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category:Non-cardinals_elected_pope

Pope Urban VI was the last to have been elected without having been a cardinal, in 1378.

Actually any Catholic man could be Pope, but the cardinals usually pick one of their own.

Well they did meet actually.

Except Windows does cater to it, and despite Linux' supposed superiority it is still by far the dominant desktop OS.

That keeps out 90% of the population. Do not underestimate how complex that is to people who aren't tech-savvy and who are used to "it just works".

Again, that doesn't mean the camps were built for slave labor. In fact, camps like Birkenau didn't have slave labor when it was designed and built. It wasn't even built near any industrial capacity. Almost none of the camps did. Only once the war with the Soviets started stagnating did the Nazis facilitate slave labor at a greater scale.

Auschwitz III was a slave labor camp. Earlier camps like Auschwitz II was an extermination camp.

You don't build a slave labor camp with enough furnaces to burn half a million corpses per year, without facilities for the prisoners to do any labor.

You did the right thing. I'm not disputing that.

I'm saying it's a very different thing from people who self-diagnose psychological issues or other diseases, without confirming with a doctor.

You didn't go "I have a brain tumour, where's the surgeon", you persisted in getting a proper diagnosis from a doctor who finally did the right tests.

Plenty of those people could have worked. Slave labor was not the primary purpose of the camps.

That's not really self-diagnosis is it? Self-diagnosis would be you already claiming there was a tumour before doctors found something.

Knowing something off is not diagnosing yourself.

At its widest point, Pangea was approximately 16k km across. The fastest bullet train travels at 603km/h, so it would take approx. 26,5 hours to travel from one end to the other. This does assume a perfectly straight rail and no acceleration time though, so in practice it would take a little bit more time than that.
