Why do American ballots have more than two choices, when the news media has spent their time pretending there are only two?

Jump

  • Thankfully we can bypass the politicians and implement a better voting system via citizen ballot initiatives in most states. Maine and Alaska have already adopted ranked choice voting via ballot initiatives.

    Metroid Dread came out a while ago.

  • You could just buy a utensil crock and never have to worry about it again.

    Also box graters go in a cabinet, if you don't have cabinet space and need to keep it in a drawer then get a flat grater (it's not like you use the other sides of the box grater anyway).

    • When happy teams are an issue

    Jump

  • Cloud is way worse than server in my experience. Server was only bad because it was usually configured poorly and IT would never give admins to anyone who actually needed it. Cloud is bad because it's slow as hell and can't be configured correctly because the ability to configure it correctly has been sitting in "Gathering Interest" on Atlassian's issue tracker for two years despite thousands of votes and comments.

  • There's still Jira Data Center but nobody wants to pay extra for it so instead we have to deal the the garbage that is Cloud.

    • Exploitation rule

    Jump

  • Burnout is a symptom of exploitation but not all burnout comes from exploitation. You can burn out from non-work activities like caregiving. You can burn out as a business owner or a member of a worker-owned co-op. You can burn out at a job that only expects healthy hours because you're an overachiever who refuses to take time off.

    • TIL that the trend of anime's signature large eyes started from mangaka Osamu Tezuka's works, who himself was influenced by Disney and Betty Boop cartoons, and fashion designer Jun'ichi Nakahara's wor

  • It's pretty common not to have heard of his works, Astro Boy is the only one that made it over to the West but it's never gotten a ton of attention. I remember the 2003 series got some play on Saturday mornings and Toonami but it was really short-lived.

    Pluto which came out on Netflix late last year is a reinterpretation of an Astro boy arc that's done fairly well.

    MAPPA also made a great anime adaptation of Dororo a few years ago but it mostly flew under the radar.

    • Looking for non-isekai reincarnation manga where a boy gets reincarnated as a girl

    Jump

  • Not quite what you're looking for but Pretty Face is a great "I'm not really trans but I have to be for flimsy excuse" manga.

    It's about a guy who gets in an accident that puts him in a coma for a year and is so badly mangled he needs his whole face rebuilt. The doctor who saves him has no idea what he looked like so he builds him a face based on a photo of his crush that was in his pocket. As it turns out, his crush has a missing twin sister so he decides to impersonate her to keep his crush happy while he searches for her real sister.

    While the MC never explicitly identifies as trans in the text, there's a bunch of supporting subtext for it. He slowly gets more and more used to being seen as a girl and isn't in the biggest rush to get his old face back even after he finds a photo of himself for the doctor to use as a reference.
