My understanding: back when the population was small enough for this government to be actually representative, the idea was that legislators would go home to wherever they were elected from and be among the people who elected them so they could still represent their desires. Why it happens now? Tradition, I guess.

Thank you so much! This is so much easier for me.

I wasn't going to complain or anything, but this post made me realize that I'm actually incapable of viewing cross-eyed. It actually hurt my eye sockets to try.

Thanks for sharing! My wife tried to describe the OP image as "advertising absurdism," but I definitely think that label applies better to your link.

Anybody know of a proper term for this kind of humor? Where it's themed as advertising but subverts the purpose of advertising?

It reminds me of this: https://youtu.be/Xc_kFFmDZME

I think it's my favorite kind of humor and I want more.

The film Click always makes me cry. You know, the comedy where Adam Sandler has a magic tv remote? I'm not gonna go into too much detail on which scene; spoiler tags don't seem to work on my Lemmy reader, so I won't know if I'm doing it right. I'm just going to say it's the scene where he has an important message to deliver to his son. Gets me every time.

My wife and I have discussed contingency plans for what to do if there's an afterlife. If one of us ends up in a good place and the other in a bad place, we're both determined to do whatever is necessary to meet in ideally a middle place or whichever place will take both of us otherwise. If we become spirits that walk the earth unseen by mortals, we'll meet in the desert where we had our wedding. If we are forced to reincarnate, we will attempt to bargain to reincarnate as the same species within a small enough geographical distance that we can likely meet again.

Smokeless tobacco placed under the lip for the nicotine to be absorbed by the gums. If you're familiar with dipping tobacco ("dip"), it's the same concept, but the tobacco is processed differently and is usually in little teabag-like pouches for convenience.

For something that old, you should try Q4OS. It's a Debian-based distro like Mint, but it's designed for stability while using the absolute minimum resources.

I recently installed it on a gateway laptop that's at least 20 years old. I didn't try streaming video or anything, but just opening the browser and looking at wikis was a perfectly normal experience. I dare say that laptop is working better now than when it had Windows XP.

It's not for copyright infringement, it's for patent infringement. Apparently when they made Legends Arceus, Nintendo patented the idea of pointing the camera at a monster and throwing stuff at it.

I think you meant "morale" instead of "moral."

When I got my first Rubik's cube, I never thought I'd ever be able to solve it in under a minute. I still can't, because it turns like garbage, but I got a 30 second solve on my MoYu cube recently.

My understanding is that admins already have access to see who votes. This feature is to make then visible to everyone.
