Or wait for the dictator to die like Salazar in Portugal. But 1) that would really suck and I don’t want to live thru all those oppressive years, and 2) Salazar was actually competent and could achieve beneficial things for his country.

2nd person singular: ya’ll

2nd person plural: all ya’ll

Using “youins” for second person plural is considered archaic.

You’ll get either 8 ½ or 11 and you’ll like it.

I prefer the original Pork Lips Now. It’s about literal grocery clerks who send a literal errand boy to literally collect on a bill.

He has done it every year since 2013. We all have to contact our congressperson every year about it.

If you keep going back in time colors get bad again. Like Atari 800 highest resolution had this magenta/white dithering only.

Yes to everything you just said.

I have one counter example against proportional representation vs districts that worries me. Harvey Milk won his city supervisor post after San Francisco moved from proportional to district. This was because a lot of gay people lived in his neighborhood. I don’t think he would have won in a proportional election. Will similar minorities now be oppressed by the majority if we move to proportional?

Look at the PBS Spacetime link someone else provided, but in this case the looking is knowing which slot individual electrons or photons go through. Thus, wave pattern when which slot is not known; random scatter pattern when you know which slot.

Get involved at the state level to implement ranked choice voting. It is the first and most important political change.

I surmise it’s a socioeconomic prejudice. Like the American equivalent to the slur “hick” or the epithet “back woods”.
