Yep. You play by the rules on the ground. Gerrymandering shouldn’t be a thing, but as long as it is, the Democrats should use it to their advantage.

Why is this? Do these people literally go to the ballot box just to vote trump and leave?

This was found to actually be a somewhat common voting pattern.

Of course. But they need to ask. The FBI or local police doesn’t get a daily report of our whereabouts every day.

I assume they roll the dice because it’s rather hard to get by without a phone.

Also, it’s not like the government is actively tracking everyone’s location. I’m sure if they wanted to track me they could, but it’s not like my position is being actively logged right now.

This sounds like depression. I think you should get an eval from a mental health professional.

Yes. Mastodon is a product of Mastodon gGmbH. He is the BDFL (Benevolent Dictator for Life) of the software. Anyone can fork the software if they so choose and make their own.

What I think @Foni@lemm.ee is trying to get at is that Mastodon is a non-profit and doesn’t have investors looking to make a return like Bluesky does. Mastodon is driven entirely by donations.

I have a coworker whose maiden name is Dykes. She was very happy to change.

In terms of what he got done, he’s easily the most left wing President since LBJ. Perhaps FDR. Whether or not that is defined as left-wing/leftist/liberal is a matter of opinion.

Linux copyrights are owned by many different people, so it would be prohibitively difficult to ask every person to agree to a GPLv3 change. Even if you could, Linus Torvalds is not a fan of the v3 license.

They’ve already said that Section 3 of the 14th Amendment doesn’t exist.

Legally he’s only got 2 terms. However as my government teacher explained, the constitution says what the Supreme Court says it says. So who knows what they’ll say about it.

You can do “2009” as “twenty oh 9”, but that feels kinda awkward. “Two thousand nine” has the same number of syllables (4). “Twenty ten” is 3. “Two thousand ten” is 4.

Even “1900” is “nineteen hundred” (4) vs “one thousand nine hundred” (6).

ETA: I’m the class of “Oh two” rather than “zero two” because the former is one less syllable.

Plenty of people still use landlines. That tech is much older than faxes. Internal combustion engines have been around for about as long. There have been improvements, of course, but the basic idea of spark plugs igniting fuel, which pushes down a piston is quite old.

Like many things the 1960s tech is “good enough” and the government hasn’t mandated a specific standard.

I work in a particularly niche area (home infusion/home medical equipment) and while HL7 and FHIR are indeed things, practically no software that was built for those lines of business had any sort of module for that. We have a FHIR interface now and…no one uses it. They prefer faxes.

For me it was

2000: Two thousand

2001: Two thousand one (or less formally “oh one”)

2009: Two thousand nine (“oh nine”)

2010: Twenty ten

And from there on. I think this is because of the amount of syllables. That’s why we switch to “twenty” instead of “two thousand”.

I work with healthcare software so I can echo most of what you’re saying.

The thing is the lowest common denominator is a fax (usually a fax server that creates a PDF or TIFF of what comes over the wire), so that’s what people go with. It’s the interoperability between different systems that’s the problem. There’s no one standard…except for faxes.

Yes, ethically it’s a very bad look. But I’m not a registered Democrat (or anything else) so I don’t have a say in how they run their organization.

I’m beginning to think you might be trolling based on your responses. In case I’m wrong…

The simple answer to your question was that people who voted in the Democratic Party primary didn’t want him to be their nominee. Of course you’re asking why.

In 2020, Sanders had the lead and the party leaders decided “guys, we can’t run a Socialist Jew against Donald Trump, so we need to pick a candidate and go with him.” A ton of people vying for the nomination dropped out and endorsed Biden. Their supporters voted according to the endorsements and we ended up getting Joe Biden.

ETA: To be clear the Democratic Party is a private organization and they can do whatever they want. It’s completely within their rights to say “we need to stop Bernie Sanders” and put in action a plan to do just that.

No one can answer that question but you.
