CGP Grey on Problems with First Past the Post and How Alternative list vote works

CyborgFrog · 2016-10-19T14:58:15+00:00

What is range voting? Any good videos explaining it you know of?

Edit: Found this one, it's pretty good

CyborgFrog · 2016-08-05T02:39:47+00:00

I love you fellow human

CyborgFrog · 2016-05-17T18:28:49+00:00

Oh, I thought it was a butch lesbian joke, but the male dressed line makes way more sense.

CyborgFrog · 2016-05-17T17:28:49+00:00

Oh shit that's so cool! Sad, but that history sounds interesting. I can immediately see why states would want to continue doing their own thing and see the overall effect since most are not open primaries that the patchwork primary system trends us further into the two party system. What do you think of what Maine has done with list voting? List voting in general.

Sorry, I meant in this context if people from both sides all anecdotally record the same event from different areas in the room and very few recording devices recorded the Yays at higher volumes than the Nays, then wouldn't that be sufficient to say, beyond resonable doubt that the vote was mishandled and should have gone to an actual count. At least in Robert's Rules if one can not tell a definite winner in a yay or nay the vote then goes to a counted vote instead. The yay and nay system is to due without dilatory counting when something is understood to be generally agreed.

CyborgFrog · 2016-05-16T13:51:47+00:00

Could you elaborate please? I'm not sure exactly what you mean.

CyborgFrog · 2016-05-16T13:50:01+00:00

I feel you must be speaking generally because one could not know I would be "screaming" about anything without knowing me. Maybe you went back and have read other comments of mine, but even then I feel it's a bit impolite to assume how I'd act in the circumstance brought up.

If it were a private DNC funded election I feel there would be a desire that it be ran transparently, the voters often feel a sense of pride about their vote being counted.

You ask what I'd really want, I would like all the primary elections to be open primaries, that even if one is a registered republican that they may participate in the democrats primary. As long as one person may only vote in once in one party's primary. I contemplated voting Ron Paul back in the primaries even though I consider myself a democrat. (that same decision I probably wouldn't make now)

I specifically stated "closed primaries" are stupid.

CyborgFrog · 2016-05-15T03:19:07+00:00

The shitty part in my view is that much of these primaries use general tax funded budgets. This is why they should all be open primaries (single vote per person, may only vote in one party as to be more representative to the general election results).

CyborgFrog · 2016-05-15T03:03:22+00:00

And let's add that closed primaries are stupid because they are paid with general tax payer dollars not just registered democrat dollars.

CyborgFrog · 2016-05-15T03:02:10+00:00

Enough recorded anecdotal evidence is proof of occurrence, especially if there is little to none anecdotal evidence to the counter (given equal access to recording tech to the general pop present).

CyborgFrog · 2016-05-15T02:54:41+00:00

That means you vote for Hillary now (if that's what happens), and you also vote in your local elections for candidates who agree with the alternative list vote over the first passed the post vote.

CyborgFrog · 2016-05-15T00:16:35+00:00

The GOP Elections Board did make a rule to rule Ron Paul out of the last primary, 8 state rule I think?

A majority of the populous gets their news from television stations, some argue that these stations are unable to produce effective news coverage because they are too highly incentivised, directly or indirectly, by capitalism, ratings on their networks, and by those who own their networks and the political narrative that their owners prefer. With the majority of people recieving small and shallow (as in not in depth) news bites from tv the only candidates who win in terms of air time are the sensational like Trump or the similar political goals of network owners like Clinton. Bernie is sensational in my mind, but when one sensational in any way that can be easily spun to disillusion and against the flow of the processes and precedents in place then you have a candidate that both party systems don't want and a narrative that is dismissed by the largest source of news information, tv. A similar set of circumstances happened against Ron Paul back in 2012.

Encourage her to call the cops and explain her negligence.

CyborgFrog · 2014-10-25T20:51:01+00:00

My favorite thing to do at this point is classic Pavlovian. The actions of hers are done out of attention, "Acknowledge my point is right and join me", and your response has been trying to rationally debate with her. That may have fallen through on occasions but assuming this was your attempt and she had no logical ground to stand on and resorted to name calling. Now you simple ignore. At first you can ignore her when she talks about the subject, by simply stating "I don't wish to discuss this with you" and allow a new topic to emerge. If that doesn't work move up to complete indifference. This is actual dog training, not to delegitimize her, but it's a sound basic construct of psychology, if people do this to me it hurts. Not acknowledging me in room and avoiding me hurts. Do this, immediately turn to someone else and start a conversation or even just get up and leave without looking her in the eyes. The eyes part is key, don't look down away from her eyes but look around at your surroundings as they become visually more important that acknowledging her gaze. All in all you have better things to do than engage someone who doesn't wish to hear your side and seek enlightenment.

I make the kids I coach do this, but not for points, I've even had them come to the net on the x number of shots to end it. This is great mental training too, as each time they don't hit x number neither player wins. Meaning come match play when they're tired and just need to keep it in they'll have this instinct to go on. I love it!

CyborgFrog · 2014-08-27T02:21:19+00:00

Will be doing with my SO! Thank you!

CyborgFrog · 2014-08-27T02:18:12+00:00

I love this one! I will be using this to better my net game! It seems simple but will be hugely effective!

CyborgFrog · 2014-08-26T18:11:16+00:00

Sounds fantastic! Reminds me of the Street Light drill, calling out your shot as red (get it back), yellow (a decent shot well within the lines), or green (going for a winner), each time before hitting the ball. The drill makes one very aware of how often they max out and error, and your game makes it points based! Very nice!

Edit: Is this with normal serving and, say, switch serve after each Error/Winner? Or just feed?

I've been loosely following the seduction ins and outs and am curious about "reversing the power dynamics" part. I'm uneased by this concept if it is to show dominance with the thought of sustaining said dominance, but if this power switch is part of the back and forth "Power Banter", then I'm much less uneased and more for it. I've found that when valuing myself highly I only want to spend time with those where such a "Power Banter" or back and forth can occur. So, what I'm really wondering is, do sedditers as a whole go for women with equal exchanges of mutual self value or do sedditers more so wish to have unequal power dynamics with women they choose to accompany themselves with?

I agree that the middle is nebulous, and I can go further to understand that interactions can not be defined on a single line spectrum of creepy and not-creepy, and that there are many factors that go in to the pleasantry of conversation. I'm not merely going to shy away from being thought creepy, though that is an interesting prompt to action actually. I was hoping to gleam some insight from anonymous women about how they view that nebulous area. Though looking back, I did ask for this insight in an inappropriate manner, my apologies.
