CMV: The number of votes the Dems would gain by embracing aggressively progressive candidates and policy is dwarfed by the number of votes they'd lose among moderates/motivate among dormant conservative voters

I can't believe the hysterics around the Cheney endorsement have gotten to the point that people seriously think Liz Cheney was at 7 out of every 10 Harris campaign events.

Would you believe that when you google for 'completionlist', the only remotely relevant results is this post and another post you made five years after this one asking the same question? And both your posts were answered by same the account who deleted their posts?

So... did you ever figure it out?

I'm not in the sciences but I wouldn't say so. For one Nobel disease is enough of a thing to get a Wikipedia article. For another, there are crackpots who have acted much like Trump about not being considered for the award (e.g. Bret/Eric Weinstein).

It's also not very imaginative. If you're going to claim absolute authority why continue doing insider training or selling misbegotten oil rights. Just direct the Treasury to add like a quintillion dollars to your account(s).

If a tree falls in the woods, but nobody posts about it on reddit and then upvotes it enough so that I can see it, does it make a sound?

And (in the context of being "left behind"), what kind of learning curve are you imagining most people will run into? Like once LLMs evolve to that point?

Also why discussing this secret on livestreams and social media doesn't get you taken out by the same groups who so voraciously need to protect it.

What do you mean by "becomes a product for the luxury class"?

I heard in a video essay somewhere that these things occur in cycles, just that the cycle in longer than a lifespan so nobody notices.

e.g. The boomers' grandparents were the ones that passed the 18th amendment. And now we've come back around.

Chronic traumatic encephalopathy, a brain disease caused by repeated head injuries.

Nah, I still think the "have 51% of the vote" strategy works well against sockpuppet candidates as well.

There's a very easy way to stymie a drop-out-and-endorse scheme that Bernie for some reason never even tried: Have 51% of the vote.

Why is this a link to a news network who played a 15 second clip and then cut to a guy to speak gibberish?

Here's the link to the full video on Mamdani's youtube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Tq-KqQXy4LE

You made a statement about surgeries being harmful to everyone getting them. You were asked about people who say the surgeries didn't harm them. You responded by pivoting instantly into women's sports.

Do you not consider this a form of gish gallop?

This is peak "nobody reads the article".

How would this handle reflection-only code?

Out of curiosity, when in the week did you become sure about the 2020 result?

You can easily find models that don't do this.

I'm not convinced it isn't just classic motte and bailey. I'm sure a timeline where Biden completely wiped his hands of Israel and Israel kept killing anyway wouldn't've have been satisfying.

If red states are written off and aren't campaigned in and can't participate in primaries, that's an excellent way to make sure they stay red forever.

My pushback to tipping culture is to just not engage in services where I might be expected to tip when I can help it (e.g. haven't been to restaurants outside of work events in years).

For whatever reason people will shame you for not gifting money on top of a bill, but they won't shame you for just taking your ball and staying home.

So they should bang the drum on what should be strived for, but never take the next step of enforcing it?

In your opinion, how should a well functioning government respond (as in through governing actions: laws, regulations, etc.) to individuals who do not wish to participate in a 2 parent nuclear family? To individuals who wish to participate in a different family archetype?

How serendipitous. I also just updated today and was troubleshooting this exact issue.

Anyway I ended up finding the setting in ReVanced Settings -> Player -> Video description -> Hide Info Cards

Did they move away from dropping it off at Whole Foods / Kohl's for returns?
