That’s something you may think if you’re 5 y/o and going on vibes. Every decision you face not only has the consequences if you choose it, but also if you don’t.

A pure hypothetical to demonstrate the general principle on an extreme example (not a direct comparison): you have an election with two candidates: one runs on a promise of Holocaust 2.0 and the other will twist your ankle after he wins. Would you say you can’t choose because both are bad? Obviously you would under any case want to avoid the worse outcome. Because not doing anything is risking that bad outcome, even if the alternative is bad. The upcoming election is not that extreme, but my example should have demonstrated the principle: inaction in face of greater evil is wrong.

There is no absolute good in this world, and if you can’t choose between Kamala Harris and those horrible people you moral compass is out of whack. When you don’t vote, the choice is made for you. Whether something is good or bad has to be evaluated considering possible alternatives, you can’t just not choose and expect a miracle to happen.

Compared to what? Trump? DeSantis? I don’t think so.

Never say never, but I don’t think it matters all that much, with Trump in jail. But to answer your question, incumbent changing their running mate seems tantamount to admitting failure and you want people to view your administration as successful.

Have you ever seen stuff like Occillococcinum or anything made by company Boiron? They don’t advertise it as homeopathy, so even if you saw a homeopathic sugar pill you wouldn’t necessarily know. That’s a part of the scam

Armenia is the weaker side. Azerbaijan has to deal with refugees from Nagorno-Karabakh because of Armenia but they have been overstepping their previous claims in recent years. I don’t see a good side to this, but currently Armenia is the least bad side.

It’s so rare to see someone speak the voice of reason on future technology matters. People think we’ll be able to do anything, when there are physical limits to just how far we can advance current technology.

Even if we invented something new, you have to deal with the size restrictions of atoms. Silicon has an atomic radius of 1.46 Å, gold 1.35 Å, and our current process for manufacturing that’s in development is a 2 nm, or 20 Å process, although that number doesn’t mean much, since the measurements are closer to 20 nm (metal pitch). There are experiments dating back about a decade where someone created a transistor out of a phosphorus atom. We’re a lot closer to the end than we might realize.

Why would a spy/agent know launch codes for nukes? Kidnap Sunak or sth

I’m glad you have enough financial stability where you can pick and choose your landlord. It’s unfortunate that there are plenty of people who can’t “vote with their wallet” on account of not having all that much cash in there. And plenty of landlords who don’t fear bad reviews because there’s no place they can even be reviewed at, and even if they were to receive such a review housing is an inelastic good and in too short of supply for people to be picky about it.

Additionally, the government has no incentive to charge you more that what it costs to run public housing, whereas the landlord has a profit motive. Even if the government charges you more than how much it costs to build and maintain buildings, this money isn’t send to a pit - it is used to build roads, railroads, sidewalks, provide healthcare, and to build so much more infrastructure and provide various different essential services. If you give it to a landlord, it’s used to fund martinis and vacations on Ibiza. What’s the better deal?

That’s way harder than other systems, where the government already owns all the homes, and can simply drive up the cost whenever they want :/

When was the last time you voted for your landlord?

Flatbed with cheese and tomatoes on pizza bread… Yep, that’s basically pizza. You can say Italian Americans evolved the dish and created popular varieties, but the basics come from Naples. Flatbed with toppings was eaten even in Achaemenid Persia, so I’m not talking about just that, but about a dish called “pizza” with cheese and tomatoes, and that clearly comes from Italy.

Is it because it works on patterns and your random garbled string would have too much noise to be compressed well, while a structured file coming from an actual piece of software would probably have enough repeating patterns to the point where it actually can be shrunk?

Many of these, such as carbonara, pizza, and tiramisu, were actually invented in the US

From the article you cited:

Pizza is a prime example. “Discs of dough topped with ingredients,” as Grandi calls them, were pervasive all over the Mediterranean for centuries: piada, pida, pita, pitta, pizza. But in 1943, when Italian-American soldiers were sent to Sicily and travelled up the Italian peninsula, they wrote home in disbelief: there were no pizzerias. Before the war, Grandi tells me, pizza was only found in a few southern Italian cities, where it was made and eaten in the streets by the lower classes. His research suggests that the first fully fledged restaurant exclusively serving pizza opened not in Italy but in New York in 1911. “For my father in the 1970s, pizza was just as exotic as sushi is for us today,” he adds.

It clearly states something different than your claim. Pizza was not invented in the US, it was popular in the US.

From Wikipedia:

Modern pizza evolved from similar flatbread dishes in Naples, Italy, in the 18th or early 19th century.[31] Before that time, flatbread was often topped with ingredients such as garlic, salt, lard, and cheese. It is uncertain when tomatoes were first added and there are many conflicting claims,[31] though it certainly could not have been before the 16th century and the Columbian Exchange. Until about 1830, pizza was sold from open-air stands and out of pizza bakeries.

Many sources state pizza wasn’t popular in Italy as it was in the US, but your statement on it’s origin is 100% wrong.

I love cycling, although I would say it’s a combination of travel + physical activity that does it for me. I can also listen to some stuff in the background while cycling, which satisfies my ADHD monkey brain, because it’s two (or three) experiences crammed into one time slot (efficiency!).

This. What you just wrote. I totally agree. Like a chef serving a bowl of stew, you stuck your ladle into my brain and from my incoherent abstract thoughts were able to form the exact sentiment of what it is I was feeling. Down to a decimal of a decimal, more perfectly than I ever could have iterated, you captured the essence of every nuance I experienced relating to the subject matter. No words could portray the awe I felt knowing that somebody shared the exact same thought process as me. Not only that, but with the ability to articulate in such a refined manner the depth of said thought process. No words could describe that feeling. Except one. This.

This. So much this! This accentuates my inner being and my soul as well. I was scrolling through the comments when I came across yours, and now I don’t even have post my comment because this is exactly what I would’ve said. I can’t emphasize this enough everyone, this comment right here is beyond the mortal planar, the very purpose behind this post and exactly what I’m looking for and should be what you’re looking for. I can’t believe I’ve lived my entire life without this post. Here take a poor man’s gold 🏅. Someone gild this post please. I’ll have you know I saved and upvoted, but keep in mind that if it was at 69 or 420 I wouldn’t (sorry but keks are more important). I’ll also have you know that I downvoted first so I’m basically worth double, no need to thank me. I’m probably going to put this on my wall that’s how much it means to me.

You can walk eveywhere in a short amount of time. I have and outdoor market, a buchers’ market, a greengrocer, and at least 3 supermarkets, 3 corner stores, 2 confectioneries/ice cream shops, multiple flower shops, hairdressers, etc. within a 3-4 minute walk. It’s not any sort of major metropolis, it’s a town of ~17 000 people with no building taller than 5 stories.
