“From the Israeli side, they have escalated their rhetoric against the flotilla over the past week, which they claim has ties to Hamas.”
Just like they say everyone in Gaza has ties to Hamas, right?

It’s sort of relevant because when crazy stuff happens in a Democratic state, the right points fingers and they imply that chaos is happening because of governance.

They forget that the Earth is spinning east to west so the planes don’t really need to go anywhere, they just need to hover and wait for the Earth to spin enough.

You’re telling me to stop bootlicking? I just didn’t like the way I interpreted your characterization of ECU tuning.
- Comment on Forget Netflix, Volkswagen locks horsepower behind paid subscription 1 month ago:
You can damage a car with bad tuning but that’s not what he’s saying. I think the manufacturer will create an ECU map that delivers safe power, and then they will create a map with less power and then delivery the car with the underperforming map. Then, when you pay, they change to the map that makes more torque.

- Comment on YSK that Gerrymandering allows politicians to choose their own voters. In many countries, it's illegal. Gerrymandering is common in the United States 2 months ago:
Right, but without districts you could have ranked choice of voting so the farmers in central California can vote for candidates that they want to represent them and all of their votes should be able to elect those candidates. Meanwhile, people who vote in other regions should have enough votes to elect candidates of their choosing.

From reading the comments of others I’ll say it seems like I’m pretty uninformed about how the actual process works. But what i meant was that if there are 6 electoral votes and each candidate wins 50% if the votes in the state then they both get 3 electrical votes. If there are 8 electoral votes and someone wins 27% if the vote they get 2 votes, not all or nothing

Good point but for presidential elections, electrical districts don’t make any sense. You could just use the total votes for the whole state to allocate electoral votes. Also, if the districts are being manipulated to provide a skewed election result then are the districts really groups of people with similar needs?

Why do votes need to be done by district? Just do it statewide
- Comment on History is best told as a story of organised crime 2 months ago:
Throughout history society has collapsed over and over again either by mismanagement or by overthrow of the ruling class. It’s a natural cycle that we seem to be trying to change- Revolt has been mischaracterized and criminalized in an attempt to maintain the status quo. But things weren’t always like this.

It says to turn it off you open the Gemini app on your Android phone and change some settings. I uninstalled the Gemini app completely. I wonder if it’s still running on my account somehow.
- Comment on Man 'refused entry into US' as border control catch him with bald JD Vance meme 3 months ago:
This poor guy was abused and it speaks terribly about the nature of the U.S. There are so many people willing to beat and abuse other people for no other reason than they are given a green light to do so. It’s pretty disgusting. People are afraid to voice criticism. When I criticize the U.S. it’s because I believed all of the things I was told as a kid that were only partly true, that it’s a great county. When people criticize the U.S. they are holding it to a higher standard, they want it to be better. If you can’t take criticism you’re weak and it shows you don’t want to improve or make corrections.
