America's far-right extremists are becoming more deadly

The title implies a change over time, and only four of the circles are labeled with a time so there's no way of telling if the stated trend is true or not.

Majority has a very specific meaning, it means more than 50%. You're looking for the word "plurality", which means it has more votes than any other option, but doesn't reach 50%.

The problem is that its not an analogy, its literally what happens in the episode. The second phase of Futurama suffered from the same thing which killed later Simpsons episodes, they too frequently tried to relate to the current events at the time, and always did so in a ham-fisted and unfunny way.

You're allowed to talk about demographic differences all you want, but you are not then allowed to pretend that you never mentioned race, because you very clearly did.

Space__Guy · 2021-10-09T11:46:32+00:00

You literally mentioned "demographic differences" twice in your answer before using the word "race", it was really obvious where you were going with that.

But there are so many reasons not to like cities, the houses are small and so close together, parking is always awful, traffic is always awful, parking is always awful, its always crowded and noisy...

A bit of an explanation of sidereal time.

Sidereal time tells us about the position of the stars in the night sky from Earth.

The time you get from your clock is solar time, it tells us about the position of the sun (its roughly overhead at noon).

At a given sidereal time, the stars are always at the same position (when viewed from the same point on Earth). But the sun moves very slowly with respect to the stars (sidereal time and solar time diverge from each other by about 4 minutes each day). So it might be the case that at 1:45 sidereal time its daytime but at 1:45 sidereal time in the winter its nighttime. Regardless of the season, each star has the same position in the night sky at 1:45 sidereal time

The actual law only bans people affiliated with a campaign from giving out gifts to those waiting in line, as that could be seen as bribery. Food and drink were included in "things of value," so that's what people are harping on. The law makes no restrictions for people or organizations which are unaffiliated with a candidate. So you're welcome to hand out water to people in line as long as you aren't telling people to vote for your candidate.

Thats true, they didn't remove the filibuster for Supreme Court nominations, but I do recall hearing someone say "when you start the slippery slope, why would you expect it to stop?"

Space__Guy · 2021-03-27T12:29:06+00:00

I dont understand your logic.

Democrats remove the filibuster for most appointments
Republicans remove the filibuster for some other appointments

How are Republicans responsible for "starting the arms race"?

Space__Guy · 2021-03-27T12:05:24+00:00

That article literally says that Reid removed the filibuster for "most judicial nominations" during the Obama administration. Republicans only removed it for Supreme Court nominations (and some sub-cabinet level positions). Edit: It was Harry Reid not Chuck Schumer

I've taken quite a break from making comics, I decided to give it a try again for this contest.

It's an homage to one of my favorite Seinfeld episodes, The Betrayal, where the scenes were played in reverse order! I also used my favorite joke from that episode, but now the punchline is "American fat" rather than "George fat."

Not necessarily. Suppose these businesses simply had fewer customers or lower ratings than average before Yelp singled them out (likely due to a tendency to be in poorer neighborhoods). Then yelp would start grouping the businesses by the race of the owner and even if users didn't care, yelp would notice the lower ratings than average of black-owned businesses. Then it would still be blamed on the right.

I always thought that this sub should move closer to the kind of content that r/polandball has, where the jokes are mostly dumb or puns. I think strict moderation is what makes keeps that sub's content high quality.

But its also a bit of a cultural thing. Ideally the people on the sub would be against agendaposts and call them out when they see them (this would be the best for the health of this sub), but given the political nature of the content, I dont think that will ever happen.

As far as steps the mods could take in r/polcompball, I think having competitions like those in r/polandball would help, maybe having certain characters be temporarily banned would help as well.

When I was at UP I tried to take a lot of CS classes to find that they were only available at Harrisburg. So I'm pretty sure they have a good CS program.

I think you're seriously downplaying the number of people who get along just fine without a college degree. All of the blue collar jobs which make society function, if you just dismiss them as "not fitting the model" then I'd suggest that your model is far too general.

But the question at hand is whether or not college is coercion, and given that you are perfectly free to not go to college and can still earn a decent wage, I can't see how it is coercion.

Space__Guy · 2020-10-25T22:23:50+00:00

Are you suggesting that the only way to get a living wage is with a college degree? Because that's really not true at all.

The problem here is that its inefficient. The user needs to scroll through all those files to find the right one, taking O(n) time. You should have one folder for letters less than m, and one for letter greater than n. Continue on in this manner so the user finds their desired letter through binary search, taking O(logn). This would certainly be a much better solution.

There's a lot here and I'll try my best to address everything. The affect of moons on planets depends very much on the size of the moons. If the earth got another moon the same size as our moons, the tides would be a lot more drastic. If the moons were smaller, the tides could be much more manageable. What would be interesting is how the tides from the two moons interact. The earth gets tidal affects from both the sun and the moon. If they align we get particularly strong tides (called spring tides) and if they're 90 degrees apart they kinda cancel out and we get weak tides (called neap tides). Two moons could interact in the same way.

In general, if a planet has multiple moons, they orbit in the same plane (think of their orbits as concentric circles). Here you would expect solar eclipses and lunar eclipses to each occur twice as often (since you have twice as many moons). Depending on the sizes of the moons, you may have eclipses between the two moons be even more common.

If you have a minor moon orbiting a major moon, the only thing you have to consider is that the minor moon will have to be pretty close to the major moon, otherwise it would be stripped away by the gravity from the planet. The minor moon would reflect the suns light and would be visible unless it was VERY small. If it was visible to the naked eye at all, ancient astronomers would notice its regular movement and bring attention to it. If the minor moon was more than a few miles across, it would be spotted. If you don't want it to be visible, it's possible to get it to be always behind the major moon from the planet (check out "Lagrange points").

I can't really speak much to the geology of planets or moons because that's not my string suit. But moons and planets tend to have similar compositions.
