  • They said control. They didn't say they'd use it to directly cause people to shit. As written, they could control their GI such that the direction is reversed.

    They could cause people to throw up feces.

    Cause a reverse shit, take a shit.

  • 30s, still have one

    It's a little yellow bear. And it's age is definitely showing. The stuffing has been replaced, the fur has has to be re-fluffed, some holed patched, and now there are more holes that need patched.

    Part of keeping it is utility, it's a nice pillow to keep my arm in the right position. Part of it I'd sentimental.

    My fiancé got a weighted dragon plush, it's long, like a 1/3rd sized body pillow. And I'm kinds jealous of her having it. So when I retire my yellow bear I might switch to that.

  • It also allows the game to revive itself. Those 40 players playing pirated WoW could introduce more people to the game. And at the very least, it allows it be run in the future if ever historians should need access.

  • Congrats, we have a glorified FPTP and spoiler effect yet again!

    Not quite. As you've just observed, this kind of strategic voting is risky, and self destructive. Which means that many would recognize this, and not use this voting strategy. Its a game of chicken, and lots of people prefer not to play such a game and instead support the safe bet, which means supporting those you genuinely support.

    And as !ammonium@lemmy.world pointed out, it isn't possible to have a perfect voting system.

    Then there is the fact that there is more to this than just voting strategies. There are the other effects to keep in mind. For example approval is far simpler to explain than RCV, especially when you explain how the counting works.

    Another example is that approval is purely an additive process for counting, RCV is not. That means auditing results is significantly easier and quicker under approval than RCV. That leads to higher voter confidence in results than RCV audits.

    Now, other election systems could also have strategic voting, but its less likely with, for example, RCV, since you can rank candidates.

    RCV still can experience the spoiler effect just as FPTP, because it is in effect FPTP taking place over some number of instant rounds.

  • A better message:

    "closed due to trump taxes"

    His name should be on it, and call it what it is, a tax. Conservatives like to foam at the mouth at the sound of taxes after all. It's one of the few things they've been trained to do.
