Because that’s what terms are for. You elect people for a term.

Elections cost taxpayer money. Every single district potentially have an election at anytime would necessitate a significant contingency fund in any budget.

Changing leadership interrupts things with no guarantees. What if the new guy is even worse?

Good to know. Lasted a year on some crappy amazon batteries so I think it’s turned off.

That’s my only gripe with my ONN box… the remote gets updates. seems sus. But I don’t give it microphone permissions so hopefully that’s sufficient.

I couldn’t tell ya. Don’t even know for sure if this is the same ones as our conversation was 2 comments on their r/nofap post several years ago.
- Comment on Viral anti-masturbation app exposed sensitive user data 1 week ago:
I’m probably wrong but I could swear I messaged them on reddit years ago to ask if they’d release a generalized quit addiction app and they basically said they only cared about nofap.
- Comment on YouTube ads are about to get even longer and they’ll be unskippable 1 week ago:
Maybe youre too young to remember when iTunes charged $15 for a digital album.
- Comment on YouTube ads are about to get even longer and they’ll be unskippable 1 week ago:
Unpopular opinion but youtube + music is good value.
But my journey here was unique.
I grew up during the era when ipods / mp3 players incentivized having personal libraries of music files. After itunes became hostile towards that I switched to Google Music which allowed you to upload music files and stream them to your devices. It was great because I had some obscure remixes and indy band albums that I’d lost the CD for years ago.Ended up paying for Google Music after a 3 month trial.
Eventually Google Music became Youtube Music and with it came Youtube Premium. Tried Spotify but it didn’t have some artists that I can’t remember now anyways. So I just kept paying for youtube music and not seeing ads on youtube.

Regardless thanks for the solid explanation.

Like come on let me see the data.
It’s probably paywalled eh.
- Comment on 40% of teenage boys believe women lie about domestic and sexual violence: new research 1 week ago:
You’re right. I guess I was just following the same train of thought as the whole, “There were not less autistics before the internet.” logic.
I only have male friends who teach but they all agree that critical thinking and cognitive function in general have plummeted. And we’re in Canada!

- Comment on 40% of teenage boys believe women lie about domestic and sexual violence: new research 1 week ago:
I genuinely question if this is some sort of trend and not just how it has always been.
Cuz 40% of teenage boys being idiots seems kind of timeless.

Only if 3rd parties who witnessed the context of such misunderstanding re-enforce the stupid. Otherwise that’s just your average contrived romance drama.
