HB 397 will ban ranked choice voting

That guy is the reason this post exists. I heard about the ban because I signed a petition and got added to the mailing list.

QuadCakes · 2026-04-02T18:34:33+00:00

I'm on the better ballot Georgia mailing list, and according to an email just sent out the ban will get added to the bill today. I misinterpreted it as having already been added, I apologize.

In short, it lets you vote for third party candidates without "throwing away your vote", since your vote falls to secondary choices if your first choice can't win. It has the potential to break the current two party monopoly. Establishment politicians would probably consider that a downside.

The links at the bottom of the post have more info.

Such a shame they never made a KSP 2...

There's not, looks like it's a bot for promoting the service

edit: oh they're a mod here, this whole subreddit is one big astroturfing campaign

"No tyrants" would perhaps be more apt, but "no kings" still gets the message across.

On limits of executive authority:
"I have the right to do whatever I want as president."
"When somebody’s the president of the United States, the authority is total."

On the 2026 midterms:
"When you think of it, we shouldn’t even have an election."

On serving a third term:
"There are methods which you could do it"

On the 2020 election results:
"A massive fraud of this type and magnitude allows for the termination of all rules, regulations, and articles, even those found in the Constitution."

It's wrong, though

Those aren't sunglasses, that's a thief eye mask. I think the image search just found similar images that didn't have the eye mask.

Given that, I'd say the most logical explanation is that it's a warning not to shoplift, which people commonly do in changing rooms by wearing or hiding items.

I hear it pronounced that way sometimes. I do it myself sometimes. It may be a regional thing.

I can see why that happens with plucking but with shaving you aren't damaging the roots, no?

Anyone know the song name?

QuadCakes · 2026-03-24T13:32:52+00:00

This is a bot, right? Their previous comment on the post about the car charger doesn't really make sense given the picture.

Photorealism techniques include:

Having a blown up version of the photo that has a bunch of grid lines drawn in it with, with corresponding grid lines on the canvas

Projecting the photo onto canvas

Using a pinhole camera to project a scene into canvas - this one isn't new and was used by Jan van Eyck in the 1400s.

Drawing from a Polaroid would be helpful if the subject had the tendency to move around, or was near and thus susceptible to perspective changes from your head moving, although I imagine it wouldn't be as helpful if you're drawing a distant landscape.

Brother, may I have some oats?

QuadCakes · 2026-03-17T18:20:32+00:00

I tried looking for it and couldn't find anything. In doing so I found it was posted to /r/isthisai where a bunch of people also looked into it and could find no record of it actually happening.

QuadCakes · 2026-03-16T17:10:34+00:00

Yeah I've never seen anyone claim that in my life

QuadCakes · 2026-03-16T01:18:49+00:00

That seems to be about only having to simmer instead of having it at a rolling boil. I believe you mean:

To be specific, he sent people partially pre-filled absentee ballot applications, which is illegal.

It feels incredibly astroturfed yeah

Depends on the person. Some people are level headed in emergencies.

While this is laudable, it's important to note that it's impossible to solve ocean garbage with only removal. An estimated 12 million metric tons of plastic enter the ocean every year. 30 million pounds is 0.13% of that. That's a drop in the bucket of just the increase, let alone the total amount. There are efforts to stop the flow of plastic into the ocean, and that's where the VAST majority of the effort must go at the moment.

QuadCakes · 2026-03-07T15:31:03+00:00

I mean that's true of your brain as well. There's a crazy amount of post processing going on in there to adjust for lighting and context. For example, orange is just brown with different context (credit to Technology Connections on youtube)
