Surely this can be solved by randomizing the order they appear on the ballot for each person? Then the impact would be negligable

I wouldn’t read too much into the Sun endorsement. Murdoch hates to be wrong, and they would have come out in favour much earlier in the campaign if they were actually ideologically aligned.

And are you being paid more for your increased productivity, or is your company stealing that value?

Gotta come to bat for my boy Matt Smith, imo his first episode is the best of any in the modern era

And notably, the odds for this happening were extremely low, because the vast majority of the time the team that catches the snitch wins

‘I recently took a french class, and yet I don’t even know half of these german words’

Funny, I thought it was rather obvious, but I guess not for everyone.

For me sci-fi as commentary works best when it shows a better world, and laughs at the primitive ideas of the past (our present), rather than presenting a hot-topic issue from our time as being still relevant 20000 years in the future, as that just dates it to the current conversation.

Overall I enjoyed this one, felt like a return to a classic monster-of-the-week format, with a decent setup and good intrige, although the reason that the monster was created being ‘the computer thinks babies needs monsters’ fell a little flat for me.

The commentary on abortion and refugees was a tad shoehorned also, but not a deal breaker for me.

Really liking Ncuti’s take on the Doctor and his chemistry with Millie Gibson, and definitely excited to see where the overarching story line for the season goes.

Not voting is still participating in the system because you live with the results, sorry mate. You don’t get to opt out then absolve yourself of guilt from the result if its the worst case.

Your principles are sound, but not voting in any election is imo equivalent to voting for whoever wins. If that turns out to be Trump your moral high ground has no basis because you actively enabled that result.

Voting for a candidate doesn’t have to mean endorsing their entire being, it can be for many reasons, most noteably tactical voting to ensure the least bad outcome.

Perhaps the OP intended this, but I have seen the snowflake version of this much more commonly than yours:

No snowflake in an avalanche ever feels responsible.

Trust will take some time to degrade though, and in the meantime they can cash in that genuine goodwill for customers to their shitty products. They don’t care about destroying the community, so the community must protect itself or become useless and cease to exist.

From wiki:

On November 12, 2020,[20] for his 31st birthday, Varshavski traveled to Miami to attend a beach party that was also attended by a number of other people without masks, during the COVID-19 pandemic. Footage of the event was posted on Instagram and went viral, particularly on Reddit.[21] On November 18, Varshavski apologized for his actions in a YouTube video,[22] saying he “messed up” and he needed “to do better”.[23] His attendance of the party was criticized by medical professionals. Bioethicist Arthur Caplan, director of the division of medical ethics at NYU Langone Health, said Varshavski “fails completely in being an appropriate role model and he should be called out, and he deserves even more criticism than he’s getting so far.”[23]

Doctor Mike lost any respect I had for him after his behaviour during the pandemic. He is a content creator far above being an actual medical professional.

Not even Millennials see action against your employer as ‘betrayal’. Company loyalty is dead, and this professor is out of touch.

I also propose Jaime Lee Curtis last year, definitely felt more like a lifetime achievement oscar than that particular role

I will never understand the idea that rebasing inherently causes problems. Rebasing gives a much cleaner history and reduces the number or commits with multiple parents, making it approximate a simple tree rather than a more complex graph.

The simple rule is branches that only you work on can be rebased, shared branches must be merged.

A quick google gave me

livestock farming is 2.5 billion hectares, about 50% of the world’s agricultural area and about 20% of the total land on Earth.

So maybe you should revisit the idea of ‘marginal land’ that ‘couldn’t grow other food’

I mean the bit where they killed their own hostages because they were so horny for killing civilians made it pretty obvious if you weren’t already convinced
