Lol. I hadn’t seen the thing in a while, so here’s an extended YT clip for folks: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=mX-qK4qG2EY&pp=ygUNbGVvbiBldmVyeW9uZQ%3D%3D

“I just want some goddamn eggs.”

McKinley never even set foot in Alaska. This regressive skidmark is going to rename the tallest mountain in the world, base-to-peak, after a mediocre president? Native peoples of the region have been calling it Denali for centuries and, “the Alaska Board of Geographic Names changed the name of the mountain to Denali in 1975, which was how it is called locally.” I know this is just contuining rallying of his voter-base and attempts to shake folks from paying attention to his continuous ramshackling of what’s left of American functionality, yet still it worked - my jimmies are rustled. I am displeased with myself. I can only hope he vists the mountain and then stuff stuffs…

There might even be some valley folk buyers too

It does feel strange though that Americans’ distaste for taxes is greater than their value for human life. But I guess since our country was founded on “no taxation without representation,” that maybe we’ll find a similar way out.

Thank you for posting this. It is good to see studies, even metanalysis or otherwise, enter the forum discourse.

On the financial front, in Alaska the RCV maintainers outspent the repealers 100:1, yet the bill to repeal vote barely failed by some 600 votes - triggering a recount.

Well, I misremembered half of it, but Homestar Runner was one of the many flash animations of the flash-craze heyday. Occasionally, they were puppets. From nearly 25 years ago: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=tLSgRzCAtXA

It’s probably turtles all the way down, but I think “A[n] British animators’s email segment co-star mispronounces misspells 90s greeting” might be an even smaller domino.

Edited to replace failing memory.

Yes, but Trump has/had been taking legal marching orders from the Federalist Society which does support a strict read, no?

Unfortunately, I’m not sure how folks in the US pull it back. The weight of money draws in so much disinformation and outright media complicity that even grassroots movements (eg. Bernie, RCV) have been safely tampered out.

Americans didn’t even bother to show up and now we have a Republicans in control of all three branches again.>

Absolutely. Trump did not have a significant bump in votes, 10 million voters did not turn out, or so early figures show. Of them, it’s largely white suburban males. Apathy leads to populism. Dr. King had something to say about white liberals…

And corncream-pilled

I dunno. I’ve seen a lot of Doritos in well established grad labs.

…wait.

Yes and no. While not a natural science, the study of humans making choices in a resource limited envrionment is a study that does work in examining how policy decisions affect human outcomes. The analysis should hopefully enable making better policy. Ideally we’d be less intellectually lazy than saying, “broken thing better than other broken thing”, but here we are.

Maybe it is more akin to health analysts interpeting how the rules of the game affect injuries, and then, hopefully, offer ways to reduce TBIs. The better outcome would be to not play a game that leads to concussions, but… fuck (waves hand generally)

I think in this context bullying can be expanded to its summative affect at the level of the society. This accumlative persecution is cultural and does in turn lesd to internal beliefs that one’s perceived deviance, as pushed by the dominant social narrative, is unworthy. There are studies that demonstrate societal pressures/persecution does lead to increased rates of suicide. This is most notable within marginalized groups supporting the point made above.
