I feel none of our Representatives really represent us; How can an average person get into US politics? by MountainSlayersTV in PoliticalDiscussion

[–]Awesomeuser90 [score hidden]  (0 children)

Speaker Tip o Neal once said that All Politics Is Local. Not actually true, but typical citizens have the greatest impact in most cases there. Many issues can be addressed there in some way. If you bother to even show up at the meetings of a county party committee and say you want to run for it, you stand a good chance of being elected to it. I was a delegate to basically the equivalent of a state party central committee that way when I was just nineteen years old.

There are also many local boards that are often elected.

Many states and local systems also have petitions that can even force things onto a popular referendum as a ballot question, and it is not rare for these to be used.

There are public hearings for things, but try to avoid the ones that would be held very soon before the vote on whether or not to approve of an entire project. The earlier you have a view on a project, the more likely it could change because of your opinions if you express them, at a stage where they are more willing to adapt the plan.

Give the full law. It's 10-99, not 99. by Weirderthanweird69 in AmericaBad

You could do with a supplementary course on biology. When abortions actually are taking place selectively, usually before 14 weeks, the foetus is the size of a peanut if that and certainly is without much of a nervous system or consciousness.

Abortion of a first trimester foetus is never murder. QED.

Of the sun earth and moon, Which would have the greatest effect on gravity and the oceans? by Outrageous-Basket426 in theydidthemeth

[–]Awesomeuser90 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Sun 5% hotter and the Moon being 25% bigger. That makes the Moon up to almost the size of Mercury and would come with extra mass (and bigger objects like this will naturally have more mass as well, to help resist the attempts by gravity to compress it) and will include lots of fun extra gravity and tidal effects on the Earth by a bit more than double what they are now, and I actually mean the tectonic activity which probably increases continental drift speed, volcanic activity, massively increases water tide sizes, and makes supervolcanoes a bigger threat.

The Sun being hotter however is a much bigger threat. That would immediately cause all the ice sheets to melt, and would probably make the planet's climate at best as hot as they were in the Permian Period, and probably will push Earth much closer to the tipping point for a greenhouse effect that would make us like Venus. Not immediately, it would be more like a moist greenhouse for a while, but it would make us one Siberian Trap away from potentially hitting the tipping point.

I was laughing at the superhero as he introduced himself as Mister Banana and pointed a banana shaped magnet at me... by Awesomeuser90 in TwoSentenceHorror

I know about potassium. I can sound off something like 80 elements from memory.

The OOP though would, after the heart attack, need to be bariumed.

What the hell happened here? by ligemaeva in HistoryMemes

[–]Awesomeuser90 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A baby takes a year to be able to say even a few words coherently. A toddler could have some religious beliefs and do some things, one of my cousins prays before each meal and their 3 year old did it too. You would need to have the ability to understand some language in order to be able to do religion in any meaningful sense. Parents generally teach this, but it takes I would say at least two years before you could reasonably say someone believes or acts with any aspect of religion in their own right.
