I didn’t even realize where we were until I read your comment.

I wish 3rd parties were a viable federal election option. But they aren’t yet to a point where they can realistically win in the US.

Here’s the thing: as long as nobody votes 3rd party, that’s going to continue to be the case indefinitely. Wishing won’t change that.

Where I’m from we actually have a viable alternative to the centre / centre-right duopoly, and we still hear this sort of rhetoric, even when the outcome is nowhere near predetermined to be one of two options like it is for you guys.

The crux is, that voting for harm reduction cements you in a local maximum when there are better potential solutions out there.

Now I’m not saying that justifies voting 3rd party. There are a lot of unknowns. If more and more people started voting 3rd party, how long would it feasibly take to enact change? 2 election cycles? 4? 10? Does it ever even happen? And if so, is the harm caused in that period justified by the outcome? I’m dubious of that proposition.

Regardless, I think the rhetoric about this issue from both the pro and anti-3rd-partyists tends to be a overly reductive and/or myopic. I think both sides have valid concerns, and the answer isn’t as straightforward as it seems.

That said, pragmatically, it sucks, but I feel like I do have to discourage voting for a 3rd party.

Not always, though. Some apps save images to /Pictures, and in there, some of them make their own folder. It really is kinda half baked.

It’s a feature, not a bug…

OK, look, we tried refactoring, but everything broke. Just don’t touch it and it’ll be fine.

What, you thought a giraffe was some sort of animal, and not a type of neck? Didn’t you know that snakes, geese, and giraffes all evolved from the common neck: C. neckens?

The tree of life is a git repository. I’m personally partial to the giraffe release.

That’s… weirdly wholesome.

I agree, but for a different reason. I had an Aussie friend that said “sus” all the time on IRC, and that was in the 00’s, so it well predates Among Us.

I’m going to offer my own theory here, which doesn’t seem to be in line with the most popular theories which seem to me to be creative guesses at the origin.

I think it’s possibly from twitch.tv culture. “Kappa” was a popular emote with a smug face often used to denote sarcasm. Plenty of streamers have used the phrase “No kappa” to indicate they’re not joking, and some shortened it to “no kap”. Since it was passed on orally, it became mistranscribed to “no cap.” People were looking for an explanation for a phrase that didn’t exist, and inadvertently invented one, which became the predominant theory that you’ll find if you search for “no cap origin.”

It’s generally finding amusement in something doing what it’s supposed to do in a straight forward and effective manner, in contrast with an alternative overly complex method.

You have selected “Yes.”

We’re sorry, but this action cannot be completed. A memory has been added to your brain to remind you of this issue every time you want to sleep.

Oh Santa with your gun so bright

You’ve made a believer of me tonight

Is this real? Because holy shit, someone’s going to see that and go “Y’know what? Why not.”

uhhh

Yeah, good thing Asuka isn’t… *checks notes* she’s fourteen? *sigh* Goddammit.

It’s from Frieren, a currently airing anime about an elf girl who’s as bad at making friends as most of us weebs.

Oh, wow, how exploitable. What a good new format. Frieren doesn’t disappoint.

There are 8 billion people on this planet. At least one of them has to have had a traumatic experience while listening to Bob.
