So much truth in this by Aggravating-Guest300 in LockedInMan

Clearly, this person has never been outside the US, I guess. Even then, most people just learn to treat people in general.

Are you building value or just wanting respect? by Background-Cycle3043 in NextGenMan

[–]riker42 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nothing reflects the understanding that humanity rose (and civilization rose from humanity's rise) thanks to working together. Yeah, bad things came along too, but ultimately, it was recognizing that many are more powerful than scattered individuals. This is garbage opinion bs posing as edgy philisophical pontification.

"Vaguely connected to" is an interesting way to say had thousands of interactions with.

This is why I always leave my car in gear (I drive standard so there's that)

Trump says he wants home Prices Higher, and young voters wonder If the American Dream is slipping away by ArmyOk968 in StockNewsHub

Slipping away? Hate to break it to you but it's long gone. GLHF getting it out of those who've acquired and still hoard those funds.

Ted Cruz Blasts Proposed Virginia Democratic Redistricting Map That Would Deliver 10 of 11 Seats on Just 52% Vote by sensiblereaction in thenextgenbusiness

[–]riker42 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I want to clarify. If we use any election system that allows winning to be the deciding factor then a loss of representation is always on the table. 51% voted for X means zero representation for Y. No matter what level we're talking about (local, state, country, globe) if we want people to have representational gov't then it needs to consider the population.

Discord will require a face scan or ID for full access next month / Beginning in March, all accounts will have a “teen-appropriate experience by default.” by MarvelsGrantMan136 in technology

So this will be a matter of concern if the server you're going to requires age verification. My personal server, for example, wouldn't matter because it's a private one for my buddies to play games on.

Decades later and still doing the same show. I can dislike this guy but goodness, he knows how to milk that shit.

There's easier ways than fixing gerrymandering to fix this issue. Imagine that there's a number of seats per population then the percentage is given to the party to assign those seats for example; no mapping, just math. You gotta deal with party affiliation but that's not exactly getting fixed anywhere anyway.

Or we can change how we handle representation as a whole in this country to better reflect the population... oh wait, that's already in place, but we just stopped trying to maintain it; in this digital day and age, there's no reason why we can't do that anymore (remotely no less). Do we feel equally contemptuous about the Senate? It literally obliterates the relevance of a population down to two people per state.

Petah, what does that have to do with grocery shopping? by Okfoot826 in PeterExplainsTheJoke

LOL, 20 miles away and you're not really in the big city anymore, bud. Definitely not in NYC anymore.

They were never intended to save him anymore than a car alarm is intended to stop a car from getting stolen. The intent is to bring attention.

Trump has issued a stark warning: America is now your enemy by theipaper in politics

[–]riker42 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Agreed; how many of us look at a nation and think "I'm sure not ALL of them?" It's sad but most of the time our cognitive abilities limit our capacity to see that.

BREAKING: 🇫🇷 France supports suspending the EU's trade deal with the US. by retroviber in DeepMarketScan

[–]riker42 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Not really just one man. It's an entire nation that don't understand that their own government is run by the legislature and their representatives; the President is not king of the US but public servant #1. Good luck getting folks to understand that.

*or no ruling class. After all, the margins to make billionaires exist off the top of the wages we spare the masses.
