Robot farts?

They reach across the aisle because they basically never have control of Congress. Dems need all 3 (presidency, house of reps, and Senate) to pass anything. When they don't have all 3, they have to reach across the aisle to pass anything. So guess how long they've had all 3? They've had it for 4 years of the last 24 years.

And if they didn't reach across, guess what happens. The GOP shuts down the government like they did to Obama.

So what can you do move things left? Give Dems consistent and overwhelming victories in all 3 houses.

What's the tldr?

Everytime the Dems lose, they go to the center to find votes. And they find them! That's how Bill Clinton won, he went to the center (some say right, whatever). Gore went a little left and then lost. So Obama learned to not run left and instead ran on broad "hope". His reward for passing the ACA was losing Congress for his last 6 years. Thanks voters. Clinton went a little left on climate change, supposedly the important issue for the left, and lost. So Biden learned to not run left, and he won!

Every time the Dems go left they lose. So they go to the center to find voters and they find them. And you wonder why they go to the center?

Is this the conversation where I said dems have had control for 4 years of the last 24 years? Yeah it is. Dude they are forced to reach across the aisle. Because they have lost control for 20 years of the last 24 years. That's how Congress works, if you don't have all 3 then you are forced to reach across the aisle and compromise. I'll say it again, forced to. Because left voters never show up.

No matter how much you gripe, that's how it works. So if you want them to do left things, then give them all 3 (presidency, house of reps, and Senate) consistently and overwhelmingly. It's that simple.

(Want to go back further and include Bill Clinton? Then Dems have had control for 6 years of the last 32. Want to include Bush senior and Reagan? Then it's 6 years of the last 44 fucking years. Read that again: Dems have had control for 6 measly years of the last 44 fucking years. And you wonder why we have slow progress?)

Storage of nuclear waste is solved. It's unbelievable that people say it's not.

Does it cover everyone on the planet using the same amount of electricity as a North American? 8 billion people now. And usage is increasing too, gotta power EVs and AI (but not limited to that).

Buying uranium from Canada and Australia? Inconceivable!

The US better be careful of all those land invasions from Canada. All those NATO countries that live in the largest defensive alliance ever, that are threatened by Russia who couldn't invade one of Europe's poorest countries. China could be invaded at any moment by the Mongols.

Everything is steam power (except solar).

First it doesn't matter because it's going to happen whether we want it to or not.

Second the whole point is that electricity use per capita is always increasing.

Wind is kinetic solar. Hydro is condensed steam.

Solar via digested chlorophyll.

*Digested solar.

Doesn't need steam "Everything is steam power (except solar)."

Or do you want Steamed hams.

A bunch of idiots is not a war with tanks, artillery, and planes.

someguy3 , vor 9 Tagen

Oh the military did Jan 6? Must have missed that. You know the tanks rolling toward Congress.

The sitting president told... wait for it... A bunch of idiots. I get that you don't like nuclear, but this is embarrassing.

someguy3 , vor 8 Tagen

Bad arguments like portraying a bunch of idiots as an actual military force and a war? And you're still (kinda) at it. Now a strawman. Yup, you're everything you project about bad arguments. Ciao.

someguy3 , vor 8 Tagen (Bearbeitet vor 8 Tagen)

Speaking of strawmans (a weird one at that). And gaslighting. And wild. Projection in case you don't get it.

Why am I bothering. Ciao.

So do people care about not being able to understand lyrics? (I can rarely understand English ones anyway.)

I really think Khan Academy should publish a textbook that everyone can use. Cheap or free, doesn't change every year, allowed to print out yourself.

Isn't one of the Gates kids doing some educational reform?

I see some profs trying to choose good books, but they don't seem to be able. But I'm also not in higher ed.

I like the escalating ccs. Two people emailing each other (and me), then one ccs their boss, the other replies and ccs their boss. I reply and cc myself.

The shows would often say "thousand metric tonne". The correct term should be gigagram.

In addition: government programs that help everyone = helping black people = no.

I think this is the fundamental reason why the US never went to public/universal anything, be it healthcare, education, whatever.

Difference between critic and audience tells me if it's an artsy movie that I won't understand.

You go deep enough and very Windows 95 looking menus pop up. Like are they building over the old system? It's all very strange.
