Wouldn't really affect me at all, and for stuff like PB&J you could just use Nutella or some other chocolate-flavored spread instead, would serve the same exact function.

Nutella is far too sweet for that.

That would be horrible.

I dont think a senate leader who just wants to burn everything to the ground would go over well. That sort of thing is easier to get away with in the house.

It's definitely way too short. Vivziepop isn't the best writer in the world, but it feels like they ordered way too few episodes and still required a full story arc to be written and finished. I'm hopeful with its success that season 2 will be a bit more robust.

It felt like it needed 1 more episode to me. First 6 were fine, but 7+8 needed a bit more space.

John McAfee was saying this back in like 2016. It was pretty much his platform for his failed presidential campaign.

Yeah I get that, and it's stupid, because if I end up somewhere I didn't intend, that's not perfect driving.

The topic is giving you perfect driving skills, but otherwise isnt changing anything about how you work. Maybe you would stay on task if sleeping, maybe you wouldnt. Thats not something Im going to make assumptions on.

Ill give everyone two options. One is where you wont drive while sleeping and will safely exit the travel lane to park if you fall asleep. The other is full ability to drive while sleeping, but your unconscious self might make decisions you wont like.

If you trust yourself or are willing to take the risk, take the 2nd option. Otherwise take the first.

Anyways, this topic is supposed to be about how would you use this, not going deep into details about how it works, what is the definition of perfect etc.

TMOG posted...

Wait, does your definition of "perfect driving" not include awareness or knowledge of how to get from Point A to Point B?

For the purpose of this topic? No. I mean you are driving with your eyes closed and therefore cant see anything. That right there cuts off a lot of awareness. So like you wont know where the other cars, people, etc are but youd also know you wont hit them.

I could be some gimmicky traveling show where I blindfold myself and do car stunts.

For sure.

Murphiroth posted...

So not perfect driving, like I said.

Ok, in your case at least, you cant and wont drive while sleeping. Since your definition of perfect driving requires awareness to move anywhere.

Murphiroth posted...

That's not driving perfectly though, you're changing the conditions.

It is though.
If you were awake and halfway there decided youd rather go to Bville instead of Atown, youd see no problem with it. What makes it different if that happens while you are sleeping?

Murphiroth posted...

You said we'd gain the ability to drive perfectly. That means there's no "who knows where you'd end up or what you'd do" because a perfect drive is getting to the intended destination safely in a timely matter.

An intended destination includes whatever dumb things you decide while dreaming or being mostly asleep.

It's almost like they hate the will of the people despite appealing to it whenever they win.

Floridians have voted for things republican politicians hate a decent amount of times. Voted for trains, higher minimum wage, felons getting voting right back. Thered be a real worry that Floridians would vote for abortions.

I hope it ends up on the ballot. And that Floridians decide they want abortion to be protected.

answer the sleep question coward

Would you really trust yourself to drive while sleeping? Who knows where youd wake up. Or what youd do cause you had some dream where you were racing.

The economy has been better under Biden than Trump, but people feel like it was the other way around.

Depends. Ill tend to do whatever I find fun. Which sometimes involves breaking the game and sometimes involves running very unoptimized builds.

Not for me

What the fuck

Tyranthraxus posted...

"Zero" mistakes? Like I can fucking pop wheelies and burn peel into a parking spot and shit?

If it counts as driving, you can do it. So long as you keep your eyes shut.

While they are closed, you will make zero mistakes no matter the situation and mitigate the mistakes of others as much as possible. While your eyes are open, you have whatever driving ability you currently have.

What do you do?

It doesnt matter if a word makes sense or not. What matters is that it conveys meaning. If everyone is using a nonsensical word for some concept, then that word has value and the sensible word that is not used is worthless.

Lord of the Rings or Dragon Ball.
Regular folks die a lot in Dragon Ball, but tend to get wished back. So Ill go with that one.

Damn. This is the sort of dude whod probably want to like nuke Gaza if he thought Israel could get away with it.

Bernie would be disappointed in most North Americans not knowing that there are actual options. Case in point, America. If you don't like the democrats or the republicans, there are independent runners. Course the main parties usually get the most airtime which make people forget that.

First past the post voting with a 2-party status quo means other parties are not real options.

He was literally elected for being not-Trump. That included being very much not an attention whore.

Trump would literally be worse for the economy than Biden is. Ugh. Him getting points over Biden there is something that makes no sense and is frustrating.

I've listened to the Tears for Fears one a lot, but don't know if I ever listened to the Gary Jules version.

Money is Australian dollars and you must pay local taxes on it.

No deal.

We'd be doomed.

Yeah, it probably could have used like another two episodes.

I think that maybe CE was a bad place to ask this.

Nay. Ends up being too much cheese and messes up the balance.

Refusing to vote for genocide is a decision. Framing it as indecision is just a way to justify to yourself why voting for genocide is acceptable.

We have fundamentally different moralities. Yours has refusing to vote as the best option, mine has it as something horrible. Continuing this will not be productive and so I will no longer engage in this conversation.

solosnake posted...

If trump takes over, will he be able to tell if you voted against him?

Kind of scared tbh

Yes.

Trumble posted...

If you vote for the less genocides option, when you have an option that doesn't support any genocides, you are still voting for genocide.

Show me an option that doesn't support any genocides. Like a real option. Not a pretend one.

lderivedx posted...

Again, "I will vote for genocide as long as it's not worse" is not having standards.

It is having standards. Refusing to pick because you dislike either option is fucked up and entirely self-serving. It does nothing to help anyone, it just lets you pretend you are superior to anyone who made a decision.

lderivedx posted...

"I will vote for genocide as long as it's not worse" is just abhorrent. Zero moral standards.

No. It is having coherent moral standards instead of pretending I'm better if I just ignore it and let other people decide.

This would be my first pair of climbing shoes. I've been bouldering for a couple of months at a climbing gym and would like to actually own some shoes instead of renting them.
I've tried on La Sportiva Kubo and La Sportiva Finale in size 42. Both feel fine on my right foot, but for my left foot, the Kubo hurts my Achilles tendon a bit.

No. Why would I do that?

lderivedx posted...

As for the other two or three of you: saying "we should vote for genocide because voting for 'genocide + 1' would be worse" is not morally virtuous nor sophisticated. It's child-like.

If my choice is genocide or the same genocide + another one, then the only option I can morally choose is the single genocide. If the first genocide happens regardless, then I am not responsible for it. However, if I fail to try to stop the 2nd one, then I am responsible if that one happens.

A 3rd party making a difference would be splitting the vote so there's only a plurality in the electoral college meaning the House gets to pick the election exactly like what happened in 1824.

And that ends up being extremely unbalanced due to being 1 vote per state. California, 1 vote. Wyoming, 1 vote.

Trumble posted...

Because so many people refuse to consider them. Like, you do realise literally nothing besides the very kind of two-party propaganda people like you are pushing, actually prevents a third party win, right? They're not going to go "oh, this third party candidate won the popular vote and EC, but nevermind, Trump wins instead because Biden didn't win and Trump is the other major party candidate".

For any given individual, voting 3rd party makes it less likely they get a result they want. While sure, if enough people voted for a 3rd party things could chance, you have a massive range between where it just makes things worse. We do not have any way to cast conditional votes, and so rational voters will not vote for a 3rd party candidate.

Additionally, there's an expectation that if a majority of a party's voters would prefer some Candidate C, then that candidate could have ran for that nomination instead of running as an independent or 3rd party candidate.

In order to make 3rd party candidates more viable, you need to change the voting system so that the voters feel like it is a reasonable option.

Then why are these Bidenists keep voteshaming and villifying the people who won't vote for him because his decision is against what they want?
Instead they drive away those people and risks getting those 0 votes into -1 for Biden

Because people can be pretty terrible at messaging and places like CE make it easier to be hostile.

0.3 was my guess. Was too low it looks like.

RetuenOfDevsman posted...

Yeah but then I don't get to be an ass about it.

If there are write in spaces, use those and write Nobody. If there aren't, just leave that section blank. Though just not voting saves your time and does about the same thing.

Cheater87 posted...

Yes and hell no.

Yeah. No way am I voting MAGA. I actually like the US overall and don't want to destroy it. >_>

Absolutely.

Ricemills posted...

And demonizing the non/swing voter is totally the way to do it right? Instead of giving their demands, it's totally justified to make them enemies.
I swear Democrats, or at least Bidenists love to sabotage their own chance.

Nah. Right way is to attempt to show the flaws in our voting system that prevent them from getting what they want from this year's presidential election. Better than Biden is something people can aim for in 2028. For 2024, best people can do is try to get the congressional elections to go more how they want. A congress more supportive of Palestine can result in changes that can't be done via deciding between Trump and Biden.

Ricemills posted...

Like labelling everyone that didn't support Biden means they're supporting Trump?
"If you're not my ally then you're an enemy of mine" is fascist view, not one should expect from the guys that claims they're fighting fascism.

Tbh, if someone lives in a state where the election is expected to be close, it isn't wrong. Due to the nature of first past the post voting, not voting for your preferred candidate out of the Democrat and Republican nominations is essentially a half vote for the other one.

There are other voting systems where that is much less of an issue. Though due to the electoral college's backup voting system being even worse than the electoral college(1 vote per state, Republican guaranteed to win) it would be hard to make use of those without also getting rid of the EC.

Now if you live in a state where the election won't be close, then a protest vote doesn't have those issues.

The time and place to do something about the awful state of the I/P issue in US politics is in contested D primaries.

Pretty much, yeah. It is easier to shift a political party from within than it is to make another party viable.
