What, should we bring back the macaroni hairstyle?

If a skeledog is chewing on a bone, is that automatically cannibalism?

Have you thought of having billionaire parents?

Books, sure. The books are dense as all fuck, and I get that a lot of people aren’t interested in things like the ancestry of a tree.

Movies, though, are way more efficient with the storytelling. Especially the theatrical version, despite how much is missed out compared to the extended.

I’m getting married in January. So looking forward to it

Well feces ideally isn’t a fluid

Or we use binary to write all bases, since binary is the simplest. So English uses base 1010, and the alien is using base 100.

This system does break down when trying to use a base that isn’t a positive integer. I’ve heard of people trying to use base e (yes, as in euler’s number) for maths research.

Can you tell me precisely what Ukraine did to provoke Russia into invading, other than just historically being part of the Russian empire?

everyone wanted them to collapse

This changes what exactly? Even if everyone wanted it to collapse for purely imperialistic reasons, that doesn’t actually say anything about the government being good or bad.

Don’t expect funny from jankforlife. The best you can get is “America bad therefore soviets good”

advocating for voting in genocidal right wingers

I am advocating for using your vote to reduce human cost as much as possible. What that means depends on the context.

If you’re in America, the decision right now is between one genocide, two genocides, or refusing to have an impact on that decision with how impossible the system is for third parties. One less genocide is the least bad option, unless you have a better one.

If you’re in New Zealand (where I live, so I’m more familiar with the politics here than anywhere else), there are multiple options because of MMP voting. That means I won’t be advocating for voting in genocidal right wingers.

Labour coalitions have historically been the governments that have had the best impact on workers rights. At least far more than national coalitions.

Also, don’t think I’m saying you should vote for labour next year. Labour is shit, vote for someone better

“Very cheap” in terms of time, effort, money, and opportunity cost for each individual involved

OK maybe I read that wrong. The way I interpreted it, I read “electoralism” as using voting as a primary tool. Using that definition, I agree with that paragraph. Voting alone is nowhere near enough to produce real change.

But if the definition of “electoralism” is using voting in addition to direct action, I don’t think that paragraph gives much reasoning behind itself. It’s a good statement, but it needs more backing it up
