It’s still shaking out but it looks like Netanyahu may be out of power. Argentina? Get the mansion next to Thiel’s…

Does that mean the only people to watch would be women in fake beards? Maybe we can get Hegseth to say Jehovah…

Kidding aside I’m not morally against execution for heinous crimes but our system is too inconsistent to be effective. In one state a heinous murder does not get the death penalty, in another a run of the mill capitol murder does. Death sentences are disproportionately given to people of color. Death row is extremely expensive vs a life in prison sentence. Executions fail as a strong deterrent as when the execution is finally performed, it decades after the crime, long after it has left the public’s consciousness. Christa Pike’s crime was in 1995, three decades ago, for example. Following that story it was like: who? What crime did she commit?

You posted the exact same article to this sub yesterday…

Interesting idea that probably does not deliver. Looks like their funding model is in-app AI gen in the cloud that you buy credits for. I’m always looking for an Illustrator alternative but have yet to find one. Lots of good vector drawing apps but Illustrator is so much more than that…

The app icons look like the the prompt was: draw [random animal] in style of O’REILLY programming book covers…

“absolutely not” is a bit strong. His military rearmament, massive borrowing, stealing money from and enslaving the Jews did bring the common German up quite fast compared to many other countries recovering from the Great Depression. Of course it wasn’t sustainable, but the illusion was there for the German people and that’s what really matters for politics…

Though what we have definitely rhymes with nazi, there is one massive difference that I think will be the downfall of it all. Hitler brought the German people out of the poverty, Trump is leading us into poverty.

Price, eh? Was he out bid?

Or just sloppy journalism/translation?

They support him or are too scared to oppose him. Either way they should not be elected/re-elected…

Who? Until this faux brouhaha, I’d seen his name but had no idea what he streams about. I still don’t beyond he is some flavor of left wing? Centrist, progressive, radical? Have no idea…

How is it for ripping apart PDF’s and fixing them? As a prepressman I have yet to find a tool as good as Illustrator for that purpose. I assume being open source it does not have support for Pantone? I was using the Affinity suite before they went freemium and that was not terrible but not quite up to Illustrator…

But still, it’s nowhere in the constitution beyond Right to peaceably assemble and the right to petition the government. The way I look at it, you would still have the two parties as a necessity. Otherwise no candidate gets 50% of the vote, and congress decides who becomes president. That is not going to change without a constitutional amendment. All the 3rd parties would be more like influencers to the main two. When looking at a primary, one might be a progressive party member/democrat or a green/democrat and who they chose to vote for could be influenced by the 3rd party endorsements. We don’t have to have a parliamentary like party system as we do not have that organizational structure.

Challenge mutual exclusion in political parties. In the US we vote for the person, not the party. Why can’t I belong to more than one political party?

The problem I see is meaningful change to the voting system requires a constitutional amendment which is a high bar. Political parties are not in the constitution. Getting rid of mutual exclusion just requires a good legal argument…
