They don’t even care about the sewage. They pay some flunky who pinches pennies to justify his existence and that one is the one that tries to dump sewage into other people. The banality of evil.

Circle? It clearly says draw a line around whatever you decided wrongly to indicate. Lines don’t curve and aren’t boxes, so good luck.

The problem is looking at it too functionally. You cannot fix it by “fixing” voting as if voting magically creates a functional government. It’s a method to derive consensus. You cannot look at a system that is failing to produce consensus and then fix it by directly removing anything that increases consensus. That’s insane.

You need to critically look at the entire system and identify what the problem is. In this case it’s largely the abstraction layers. People now interact with their government through filters even greater than the old Hearst days. Information flows from media filters to the population and from the population to government through social media filters. And both of those filters have their own agendas. Of course nobody believes the resulting government is responsive or legitimate. It’s not.

There are many potential solutions for civic engagement. But that largely means breaking down the very walls that powerful interests have created. There’s no easy solution to it. Certainly not “let’s make these stupid people unable to vote.” A solution is much more radical and takes understanding both what you want to achieve and how the current system is preventing it.

Sure. Disenfranchise most people. That’s a suitable hack to a

stable, legitimate, and responsive government.

Even China would have more political legitimacy than such a system. It would collapse almost immediately.

If you ever want a good example of functionalist ideas leading to absolutely uncritical nonsense, here it is.

What’s funny is this dude essentially argues the opposite. He’s a dude that got upset some publication said killing fascists was fun. Gets angry at any female characters that don’t exist purely to fulfill his fantasies. He’s pro gruel.

That would explain him getting in a tizzy over that excerpt then

Legendary Drops: The Worst “Non-Political” Gamer says you’re largely correct

So the argument of this video is anti-woke crusaders don’t exist? That they’re not organized and virulent since gamergate? That they’re responding to as he put it legitimate “shallow politics, performative casting, and and tone deaf writing” (this is the point I stopped watching the video) instead of knee jerk misogyny and racism? Because that’s what the excerpt he highlighted is obviously discussing as a risk. So either he thinks that those groups don’t exist or that all consumers are legitimately part of those groups. Or he’s just misrepresenting some bullshit he read from their annual report for rage bait.

The tex there has the Greek letter chi instead of Latin x at the end and is supposed to be reminiscent of a Greek root from which we derived the word technique: techne or τέχνη. The tex there is just pronounced tech usually. The original intention I believe was for it to sound like the ch in loch or bach but that sound isn’t seen in modern English(generally even in the examples I gave). https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Voiceless_uvular_fricative

For all the star Trek nerds: that’s close to what the Klingon word gagh ends with. Gagh has a voiced uvular fricative, so just do the same without voice and just air and you’ll get chi.

Where does fluxbuntu come in?

Those are the worst el reg comments I’ve ever seen.
