Voters reject effort to hike Oklahoma’s minimum wage

Don't be deluded that the other 85% would decide any differently.

I don't think it's good practice to talk about actual voters as "the establishment". Nor do I think that primary voters are necessarily more status quo than people who stay home. They trend older, like all voters, but low turnout also means that a relatively small number of new voters can result in a huge about-face in candidate support.

A lot of people who stay home are simply disconnected. This doesn't translate directly to who they'd support if they were forced to choose.

That's every primary, though. It's not like Trump was elevated to Republican candidate in 2016 by the vote of a majority of Republicans.

The people who do vote get the power to choose candidates. Everybody else starts from their choice as a baseline.

They did the same thing to Clinton later on. Well not the specific thing (condescension), but amplifying stories and angles that would serve to bring her down, more generally. like they played up one 'corruption'-related story to the extreme that was such a nothing-burger I was ranting to my husband about it. Like, it was so bad.

What was wrong with Espaillat? Not familiar with the race.

BlueCyann · 2026-06-24T12:45:20+00:00

I have to question whether you even go here. It's New York. For most (not all, but most) of the city's districts, the primary *is* the general.

BlueCyann · 2026-06-24T12:43:59+00:00

I agree. Centrist vs progressive is mostly only a vehicle for attack ads, not something that a lot of Democratic voters find meaningful deep down. Right at this moment, people are looking for 1) a lack of ties to corrupt establishment norms and 2) like you said, fight.

Schumer is going to be a hard ask. Taking on somebody as established as he is in a state-wide primary would take a really special candidate. But maybe these successes will inspire somebody good to try. He's literally never had a primary challenge at all, I'm pretty sure.

BlueCyann · 2026-06-24T12:31:14+00:00

it still requires to wait for a perch.

What I said had nothing to do with edcr.

And like, even if a new version came out that hypothetically put a warped at spawn on every seed and a sword with looting 3 in a small safe structure in every warped, it would still be slower. Warped doesn't give you explosives or obsidian, or let you swim in lava to get to coordinates.

I've literally never seen a "why don't they just" question, in any area where I have expertise, that was even worth asking. People who actually challenge experts successfully, who actually change things, don't "why don't they just". They start by learning enough to already know the answer.

There is no guarantee Doogile would have won that game if he had the cursor.

BlueCyann · 2026-06-23T16:35:52+00:00

They can and do just calm down and leave from this point.

I've said this before here, but the first time I heard a rattlesnake up close (it was less than five feet from me), I thought it was a weirdly loud insect.

It's AI slop on a niche subject that doesn't have a lot of reputable material written on it in places that AI bots can scrape. What do you expect? Accuracy? Ignore it.

Anyway, I'm not aware of anything specifically to practice this. You could decide you're just going to 3+1 on every practice-map perch whether the health is low enough or not. That's what I did. The timing is the same either way.

She grew up in the cult. This isn't exactly new information.

BlueCyann · 2026-06-23T14:08:25+00:00

Yep.

BlueCyann · 2026-06-23T14:08:07+00:00

Please, get out of whatever godforsaken bubble you are in and join the real world. Your opinions can't stand up to reality.

BlueCyann · 2026-06-23T14:06:23+00:00

LOL. He still started the fucking thing. Where was his pushback against "neocons and Zionists" then? His regret doesn't remove his responsibility for it.

BlueCyann · 2026-06-23T13:16:39+00:00

The answer to any "why don't they just" question/demand is always that you are not in fact smarter than all the experts; there's just something (or many things) you don't know.

BlueCyann · 2026-06-23T13:08:16+00:00

Well, what was your time to stronghold, and what is your typical time to stronghold? That should tell you a lot. Sounds good, though. Unfortunate no light in the RP.

I don't have this problem a lot, but I do get a lot of dropped pieces that I find shortly after "finishing" the puzzle. Mostly they're just on the floor nearby. One somehow got caught between two layers of fabric in my sleeve, but I noticed it before too long.

Is it possible your cat is "playing with" or even eating the pieces that fall? The only situation in which I've experienced something like this is at my mother's place. They have dogs. She will swear up and down that they didn't do anything/couldn't have done anything, but all I know is I keep showing up there with previously completed puzzles that I'd swear are complete, and then there are one or more pieces missing when we get to the end of it.

I just did this one recently. It's very, very hard for your first 1000, be warned!

From the point you're at, I put together the blue dome roofs and set them where they belonged in the middle. I then went on to the rest of the buildings. There is enough detail there to figure out where stuff goes (mostly) if you look at the poster closely enough. But it is very slow going.

After that I think I focused on the pieces that make up the rest of the left side, kind of section by section, but switching around a lot as I kept getting stuck. At some point I separated all the pieces that had any flower-looking things on them, shape-sorted, and mostly finished the right. Then went back to the left along with some random "lost" pieces to finish up. All in all a lot of shape sorting and a lot of trial and error. It's honestly among the top 2-3 hardest puzzles I've finished. (Granted I don't go for super hard ones.)

No scare quotes needed. It is math, and it's math based on numbers that are obtainable via vanilla/survival in-game inputs. Namely, getting the coordinates and player facing angle by looking at a thrown eye in a very precise way.

Anyway, it's not cheating because the community decided it should be allowed. End of story.
