30·7 months agoI do think it’s possible to vote your way into a situation you cannot vote yourself out of.
Like, for example, the way the system is currently setup gives much more representation (and therefore power) to smaller states. To change that, we would need to amend the constitution which would require a super majority. When have institutions willingly voted to give up their unearned power?

Right? It gets bad press as “the Charles Manson manual” but it’s all real basic stuff that helps. I’ve heard some allegations against Carnegie, so maybe he should be cancelled idk (I don’t know the claims or their veracity). but HTWFAIP is solid self help

Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•So how do you feel about the whole Charlie Kirk divide?English
9·8 months agoObviously the ideal amount of political violence should be zero. If any other option exists, I think those must be taken first.
But sometimes the status quo is violence, and letting the status quo continue doing violence will overtime do more harm than one act of political violence. So mathematically, there must be some point where some violence is worth the cost of less harm in the future.

(not popping off at you just clarifying the AI answer)
Jupiter is NOT a failed star, the lowest bounds for a brown dwarf are 13x Jupiter’s mass, and even brown dwarfs are classified as “substellar objects” (actual failed stars?). Wikipedia says Jupiter would need to be 75x more massive to fuse hydrogen.
Well, mostly Jupiter and a little bit of Saturn.

6·8 months agoI’m always gonna keep an eye on Pritzker because of the Blagojevich tape, but good on him for continuing to speak out against this shit.
I think it’s because he’s trying to jump on a presidential ticket, but still.
I don’t get why people want their problems to have cosmic importance, but the scale of the universe just makes me feel like there is so much I’ll never get to see. And if there is no other life in the universe, then all those amazing worlds with utterly unique phenomena will never be observed.
