The US isn't anywhere near far left. We have a center right party and a far right party. Look at healthcare. The left wing position is single payer. The centrist position is an insurance market with a public option to keep prices competitive. The right wing position is no public option and an oligopoly to price gouge people. Even the centrist option is considered too far left for Dems.
The Minesweeper implementation included in that is also miles ahead of the standard Microsoft one because instead of generating the grid randomly, it generates it in a way that guarantees you can always solve it without guessing, making it a pure logic puzzle.
Amazon intentionally sends misleading emails saying something along the lines of "someone asked you a question about the item you bought!" to make people more likely to answer thinking it's directed at them and it would be rude to ignore. The problem is half the time the answer is something like that.
Also the articles that are plagiarized but run through a thesaurus bot to bypass search engine penalties for being plagiarized, often to the point of incomprehensibility. Yes, I'd love to read an article about my favorite vagabondlike, Deceased Cells.
My guess is it was part of a two-pronged election strategy. First, make COVID denial part of the GOP's political platform, so that they're more likely to be performatively reckless, including waiting on line in crowded polling places where no one is masked (which goes further to scare people away that were actually taking COVID seriously), while people taking precautions like voting by mail or by voting early when it's less crowded would be disproportionately likely to vote Democratic.
Then, pass unreasonable regulations like "mail-in and early votes can't be counted until all votes cast on Election Day are counted", while pressuring election workers to post results as early as possible, skewing votes in their favor, or, failing that, point to the fact that the votes against them were counted later as evidence of fraud.
We need a use-it-or-lose-it clause for all copyrights. If the rights holder is not making a good faith effort to sell copies, they should forfeit their copyright entirely and the work in question goes straight to the public domain. 5 years is generous, I'd make the grace period 6 months.
Let's use a simple metaphor. You have a bridge. One side of the bridge is heavier than the other, so it's not balanced. You add a counterweight to balance the bridge.
Several years later, someone says "there's no need for this counterweight anymore, it's just unbalancing the bridge." If the bridge was rebuilt to address the imbalances, you'd be right. But it wasn't rebuilt, it's the same bridge with the same flaws it had when the counterweight was put in place. In an ideal world, we wouldn't need affirmative action. But pretending we're in that ideal world isn't actually solving anything.
