I’ve been taught people vote on their opinions, opinions form based on how the politicians resonate with them, and that in turn happens due to how good or bad they are.

Last year yielded only the most questionable choices for the presidency in the US. Is it any wonder some people didn’t vote? Any politician that judges non-voters only hints at the kind of aura that may have caused them to lose in the first place.

If I don’t vote, I’ll get judged. If I vote third party, I’ll get judged. If I vote for the person we’re taught to hate, I’ll get judged. What does everyone want? Non-democracy?

Yes, sorry. Said that in reverse.

Yes it’s figurative. Fortunately I wasn’t a baby Mortal Kombat contestant.

The sober mind should always have authority over the non-sober mind and be able to overwrite it, no?

Public introxication laws come to mind, I think the logic applies. It also explains some of my own thoughts. If the mind with authority puts the mind without authority in charge, what happens is on the mind with the authority.

In a world where we think of climate change and national debt as Western worries, Asia’s dirtiness is enough of an absolute eco-hazard to warrant its own kind of debt if the rest of us thought the same way.

The same rivers Rama and Krishna bathed in could today kill you, and China has enough air pollution that the smog from Los Angeles blows over from there, more or less the same way sand from the Sahara fertilizes the Amazon.

Bold of you to assume my class has only had one.

Where I live, plastic bags and styrofoam are already rare now. Now we just have to wait for people to realize water is free.

My mom’s heart.

That’s elementary, my dear Churchill Watson.

It would be wise of them to stop relying on everyone else.

People probably wouldn’t believe we sold water in plastic water bottles or shopped with disposable plastic bags.

Rotation is good. It makes sure the food gets bombarded by microwave particles on all sides. If it’s on the edge of the turntable, though, the side facing the table would be colder because the microwaves take more effort to hit it, much like how the moon has a dark side because it’s tidally locked around the Earth.

The fact I was eight years old when it was released may have had a bearing, but the Clone Wars movie.

Kanan from Star Wars Rebels.

I remember feeling salty over that one.

I think it would be like the first one, except instead of you going back to that time, you would be making a copy of that time to traverse to from your time, similar to how moving a file between devices causes it to be copied.

A relevant quote from a physicist is “some will say it’s easier to predict the future than the past, since a single effect can have multiple possible causes but a single cause can only have one possible effect.”

Oh… I thought it was a pun on phosphorus used as a jab.

And here I thought he was the most socialist-esque of all the presidents.

I wasn’t outside of getting upset at my mom growing up, and when that would happen, she used to joke “if I was your dad, I’d be a success.”

In all seriousness, one good example I know of is game testers make bad game designers. Back when Nintendo was making Mario Kart 8, they discovered some of the people actually overseeing production actually had bad vertigo (purportedly including Iwata and/or Miyamoto), so they’d invite them in to see the games being tested so they could see if it triggered their vertigo which they would attempt to fix, then repeat cycle. Now had those people with vertigo been making the games, we probably would’ve gotten simple Diddy Kong style race tracks.
