Mario Tennis: Ultra Smash

Although Sticker Star is a meme, it is (barely) positive on Metacritic and is a complete functional game. Ultra Smash is not, it was released incomplete which is very unusual for Nintendo as they were rushing it to release before the Switch came out.

Man, whatever happened to the Nintendo Seal of Quality?!?

Metal_DK is right to bring up Nixon too. He may not have caused as much direct harm as Reagan domestically, but he set the stage. And to repeat something Ive said before (that definitely bears repeating) normalizing relations with the PRC was in the long term the greatest diplomatic blunder in the world post WWII.

And its important to recognize that idea and the premise of the whole movie in general is about biomedical technology. i.e. vaccines and a ton of other tech that caused humanity to survive to this point

Uhh, the premise of the movie was bringing back dinosaurs to make a theme park for rich people.

To clarify further: the premise of this movie has fuck all to do with COVID-19 vaccines and everything to do with billion dollar super yachts.

It would be kinda funny for the EC to be abolished this way. Every state individually adopts RCV for presidential elections, and it makes things so inconvenient (e.g. Zohran but on a much bigger scale) that both major parties try to get their states to revert to FPTP. But no individual state wants to be the one to go back on it first, because it would hurt the state politicians. So RCV continues to grow and spread. Until there's a critical mass where the entire country decides to pass an amendment against the EC, just so the feds are able to block RCV for national elections.

I feel that if RCV ever got that much momentum that the purpose of an amendment to abolish the EC would not be anti-RCV

(You're right getting it implemented is impractical. But the major reason is that elections, even at the federal level, are controlled by the states - so you'd need to pass it 50 times)

Yeah there should be a package of democratic reforms across democracies, not just the United States, that includes:

-Compulsory Voting.
-Automatic Voter Registration.
-Not voting on work days.
-Citizens Assemblies.

And more. These all seem much easier to implement in America than eliminating the electoral college, which I agree with but seems unlikely.


Eliminating the EC only feels more unlikely to you because of the formality of requiring a Constitutional Amendment. And yes, that is a big hurdle. But as someone who actually lives here, let me make something perfectly clear. Due to cultural biases compulsory voting is no less of a hurdle and possibly even more so.

Okay? We can advocate for both things.

I dislike when opposition for a good thing is rooted in the idea that a different good thing needs to happen first.

In this case especially RCV is not likely to spread from the top down, but rather from the bottom up as people begin to see it's merits play out in small scale elections.

Its not so much, this needs to happen first so much as, compulsory voting will literally never happen in this country, so lets put our effort towards something that at least has a slim chance of working as opposed to zero chance.

Anyway, be happy knowing that since you are so easily able to normalize car deaths, that you will soon do the same with AI deaths. 1 is a tragedy, 1000 is a statistic, 1000000 is a culture.

Clearly the solution here is AI driven cars.

Think it's more that we've discussed third parties and how/why they can't exist in the political structure of the US like 38 times in this thread.

tl;dr: You need, at minimum, a Constitutional Amendment to abolish the Electoral College and to eliminate FPTP voting in elections - probably replacing it with RCV.

Well, this sounds like something that is MUCH more productive to fight for than mandatory voting.

Meta has publicly discussed its strategy to inject anthropomorphized chatbots into the online social lives of its billions of users. Chief executive Mark Zuckerberg has mused that most people have far fewer real-life friendships than theyd like creating a huge potential market for Metas digital companions. The bots probably wont replace human relationships, he said in an April interview with podcaster Dwarkesh Patel. But they will likely complement users social lives once the technology improves and the stigma of socially bonding with digital companions fades.

Over time, well find the vocabulary as a society to be able to articulate why that is valuable, Zuckerberg predicted.



Current and former employees who have worked on the design and training of Metas generative AI products said the policies reviewed by Reuters reflect the companys emphasis on boosting engagement with its chatbots. In meetings with senior executives last year, Zuckerberg scolded generative AI product managers for moving too cautiously on the rollout of digital companions and expressed displeasure that safety restrictions had made the chatbots boring, according to two of those people. Meta had no comment on Zuckerbergs chatbot directives.

Zuckerberg is legit a cuberpunk novel villain.
