a lot of the arguments against third-party voting are arguments against voting in general.
Maybe. But with the system in place a vote for a third-party candidate is effectively an abstention. I think you’re right that they’re more politically considerate and wanting to make a difference. It’s the desire to make a difference and effectively abstaining that seems incongruous.
If you voted according to your values, you voted well.
Exactly. And while I agree, I also live somewhere that uses a variety of ranked choice voting for some elections.
If someone truly wants to vote their values they should also have some understanding of how their voting system works.
If a vote for the candidate you believe in results in your least preferred candidate getting ahead, shouldn’t you consider a compromise vote to get a candidate closer to your values in power?
Assigned seating has been the norm here for decades. Makes things go a little more smoothly, especially when everyone expects it.
I think most places would view such a refusal as grounds for disciplinary action against the lawyer.
New Zealand for example has legislation to address this: https://www.legislation.govt.nz/regulation/public/2008/0214/latest/DLM1437864.html
There can be good causes to refuse a client, conscientious objection is not one of them.
Parents, copyrights, and trademarks are grouped together as Intellectual Property. They’re all quite distinct however.
Both graphs are showing the same thing - Russian currency weakening. Your’s just shows how many rubles it takes to buy a dollar (not something you want going up if you’ve got rubles).
As someone who’s not used these things, what’s wrong with a basic handshake to establish the comms channel?
“Hey, are you listening?”
“Yes, go ahead.”
…
Isn’t that all this really is?
Seems a weird thing for people to be uptight about.
The signing ensures the integrity of the data, whether using a public block chain or not.
The signed document can be distributed as widely as you’d like - it doesn’t need to be attached to a block chain to do this.
Sure, there’s always going to be outliers. Most people live and work in the same metropolitan area though - they’re not driving 50,000km+ a year. Besides, having a vehicle with 5 times the effective lifetime is going to be a big win regardless of how much you drive it.
Thanks!
I missed the site wide rules.
Yeah, that sort of rule requires a lot of faith in the moderators. Seems like they’re probably violating it themselves with their moderation.
Perhaps I don’t really understand - looking at the world news community on lemmy.ml rule 1 seems to be about only posting links to news articles. None of the things on the mod log screenshot look like news articles. Isn’t this the mods doing their jobs correctly?
The OP’s situation seems completely different to this and it’s definitely a problem - what am I missing about the rule 1 stuff though?
Yes, just wanted to contrast the reception they got. Bethesda games don’t generally attract as much ire for the bugs. People expect them and tolerate them (to an extent). Cyberpunk 2077 was a totally broken mess according to the internet, while the Elder Scrolls are the greatest thing ever.
I had crashes to the desktop about every 4th area transition in Oblivion and it still didn’t bother me too much, since it had just saved and took less than a minute to get back into the game.
Some bugs - even total crashes - can still be put up with just fine.
In my experience it was much less buggy at launch than for example Elder Scrolls: Oblivion. I didn’t experience any game-breaking bugs, just ones that harmed immersion. There was a bit of T-posing, the occasional floating prop/animation bug, and once I got launched into the desert when climbing through a window. No crashes to desktop, no broken progression. It probably helped that I was happy with the game they delivered rather than getting hung up on what may have been promised.
From people like me who pay for Bitwarden.
I’ve always heard them described as seagull managers. Screams loudly, shits everywhere, leaves.
It kinda sounds like both y’all are.
Me observing that it’s cold out and offering to sell you some gear so you can avoid frostbite isn’t extortion.
Me threatening to break your legs if you don’t buy something is.
Hope that helps.
Sometimes taking what seems like the right stand on an issue can deepen the harm - be careful about getting too extreme.
For example when the whole “gamergate” thing was going on and people were like “Why can’t I just enjoy Tomb Raider?” - one side was standing up for diversity and inclusion by denouncing them as basement-dwelling incels who should self-terminate. So that naturally drove some to those right-wing assholes.
Sometimes it takes a bit of work to change someone’s context so they can get closer to your perspective.
They’re just a consultancy service - hardly worth investigating. Seems that they purport to offer expertise on how a developer can improve diversity and inclusion in their products.
Like any consultancy, whether they can actually do this and whether their clients will actually implement it effectively are another matter entirely.
The Steam group creator seems to think either they’re garbage or that their clients’ approach to diversity and inclusion is garbage. (Or maybe they’re just some alt-right incel Nazi <insert favoured pejorative here…>)
More likely to be Chinese Yuan. The symbol is similar. About 6 Yuan to the dollar I think.
