That's barely a step up. Let's get sold to Denmark instead.

I see this misconception all over the place and I can only assume it stems from not understanding the electoral college.

You overestimate how many people live in swing states.

Every non-voter who lives in California voted for Kamala. All of the state's EC votes went to her.

I guess slavery is more profitable than teaching kids.

Me too. Ever since I read Richard Stallman's words to avoid article. I kinda wish I hadn't read it now lmao.

If you really think the US will struggle to host the olympics, it might be time to leave the basement once in a while.

No but there are two things we should be doing; even non-teachers. Be a role model for even a single kid. Gain their respect so they want to learn your wisdom. An afternoon of doing anything with a kid who respects you can do more than months of school. Teach them how to be upstanding and how to think.

The other part is teachers need to organize a new system in which teachers are in charge of teaching. It'll never happen unless you start. Sitting around and bitching about the education system for going on decades now is just pathetic.

This is my point exactly. They don't desire that. Nor should they. And so they shouldn't do that.

We cannot keep with this horrible system that does nothing but torture kids and teachers alike. It's not working. It's clear it's not working. Change will never come from the top, because like you said, they will never voluntarily change it. So it must come from the bottom.

Yes, they might have been good teachers if they hadn't decided to support a mediocre institution that prevents teaching.

The article is specifically about the USA. That's what I'm talking about too.

My point exactly. You won't find good teachers in public education.

Oh no, maybe teachers will have to put effort into their students beyond assigning homework that an AI can do.

Thanks to that stupid AI (or more pathetically, something more basic?) notepad takes forever to load now. One of the main advantages it used to have: gone.

RCV isn't monotonic, meaning that in the right circumstances you can harm your chosen candidate's chances by ranking him higher. Doesn't matter how rare it is; what a ridiculous quality for a voting system to have.

Meh. There are better voting systems such as range voting and STAR.

Sadly I don't think it's possible to have a party "for the people" with only two parties. There's too much pressure for both of them to champion the status quo.

Normally I would say yes, but WSL is so incredibly necessary for a developer that it might be legit.

Got you beat. 40's dude who's never used any social media except for reddit (if that counts). I also have never used a smart phone.
