Fast, normal, and slow are not clear either, I think. We see here that the “fast” term needs to evolve because it probably feels pretty slow now. Wattages are pretty clear reference points when users come to understand what they mean, especially over time.

When would supplying water be racist?

Election reform. When third parties are viable options (they are absolutely not now and just create a spoiler effect that works against your side), politics will need to shift to accommodate those interests. Push for Ranked Choice Voting and more!

Do you want to teach and encourage them to give up so quickly in the face of long-lasting international issues? That’s what you are doing and I hope they see that. This Isreal and Palestine thing did not start in October.

Please redirect your attention to election reform. Fix the system.

To break free from the 2 party system, we need to improve our election systems to allow for it, and to do that we need political advocacy and action. Ranked Choice Voting at least.

I guess you can be proud of something others see as shameful.

I think you could swap standards with bar and get a few extra points

Why not advocate for another election system that will make third parties viable? Basically then, your vote should be towards preserving and improving our democracy.

I think you might be making a fundamental assumption that quality of each hour of the day is the same.

Maybe for a particular business it does not matter, they just need an employee on the clock to cover time that customers may come in, but I think many businesses have tried this out, and found that they get about as much from their employees in 32 hours as they do in 40 hours.

I think it helps to give people time to rest and deal with life so that they can be more focused and thoughtful when they are with you.

Voting in a First Past the Post election system is like this. If we can switch to another system like the Single Transferrable Vote, we can get better results.

There are other parties even in the US, but they are not taken seriously because they basically take away votes from the big party ideologically closer to them and so they are marginalized. Appropriately so given how FPTP works.

The election system is the real issue that needs to be fixed, and new finance rules around elections aren’t going to make enough of a dent.

Those honestly sound like better problems to have. I think that being locked into a two party system means that every issue is conflated to be good for one side and bad for the other. It builds a very us-vs-them mentality and boils politics down into a team sport.

The two large parties in power are actually coalitions of smaller groups and I think third parties having more support would actually be more reflective of how coalitions are divided internally. There is a lack of transparency in a 2-party system with what is happening just under the surface.

Politics is still a struggle for power, don’t let perfect be the enemy of good.

This is why we need to get past First Past the Post election systems.

It only supports two main parties because votes for other parties are spoiler votes that actually take away from the big party they are most aligned with. The two parties become big tent parties that don’t need to align that closely with the people in it.

For the story to make sense, I’m guessing that the person you’re responding to meant OG Oculus or OG Rift as in the development kit.

That is literally not how they will be counted. You’re still not getting it. There would just be a practical effect of your vote working against your adjacent interests.

I’m surprised “hatriot” didn’t come up earlier with these MAGA hats and hatred for everything that the right spreads.

Do you like democracy? Can it be fixed? Are you pushing for election reform?

This could change if we get rid of FPTP in favor of something like STV. Multiple viable parties means we can actually vote for people or parties closer to what we want.

It’s just impractical to go against the top 2 parties without doing so.

On paper it’s a vote for Jill, but in effect it’s a vote for the party you dislike more. Are you more of a practical person or more of a person concerned with technicalities?

I mean here is some evidence: https://thehill.com/homenews/campaign/4470956-biden-trump-harris-newsom-poll/
