Something that I realized about the fediverse is that you seem to be able to criticize the USA as a whole, but if you criticize the Democrats you get downvoted. Democrats suck they are not sacred cows

  • 80 million Dem voters (depicted as "crowd of NPCs" meme): "We are voting for Democrats in the near term because there is no other option"

  • The hard fact is that what the population votes for is what the population gets. They have completely given up their agency and just accept this impotent logic of "we'll take whatever the most obvious/most apparently easy option is, that isn't a Republican". It's a cyclical problem, the voters don't care enough to force politicians to be good, and the politicians don't care enough to court voters.

  • A lot less than Americans think. Going from memory it's about 6-8% of calories.

    Also they sell non-medical syringes for general use.

  • Shoe sizes need to go too. Just measure it in centimeters. List all the measurements - length, width at forefoot, midfoot, rearfoot. Let people go online and look up a list of shoes that actually fit perfectly. Instead we have three or four different variants of shoe size numbers, gendered, that don't even work with width, and half the time are too big or too small.

  • A lot of toilet paper holders are secured to the wall with drywall hangers. An L-shaped one-piece one is basically asking to be torqued right out of the wall.

  • Roll the bag. Flip the box upside down. Put it in going up. Hold it in place and flip the box back over. Gravity holds the bag closed. This is a bad idea if anyone else accesses the box and isn't on the same page as you.

  • I would edit it to say:

    The precise reason why the solution has always been total replacement of the system with direct democracy. From within or without.

    I have some faith that we'd see the economic outcomes we want with direct votes for measures vs. votes for politicians, due to the amount of involvement required.

  • Congress has the power to impeach him and remove him from office. Of course, like the last 10 or so war criminal presidents of the U.S., they don't. Likewise, the courts have the power to neuter his presidency - and had the power to put him in prison - but don't, and didn't.
