Tfw you only know basic German and don't know if Aufstehen refers to 'you' or to 'it'

That would make sense

That said, 32+160GB could easily run on a beefed up laptop if I understand this correctly.

You'll start noticing the deficiencies in your life that YouTube was helping your ignore

Yeah what is it with 2023 and enshittification? This has been such a bad year in general

They only grow if you feed them. The food gets transformed into more baby.

What gives me hope is that only one state needs to switch to PR for congressional elections for it to have an impact. In a divided Congress, even a small new party with a dozen seats can have a lot of influence by acting as a king maker.

It needs voting reform so that there are more than just two rotten parties to choose from

Yeah. If we finally get PR which I trust we might in the next 10 years, coalition partners would serve as an extra check to keep the govt accountant

Agreed. The best thing is, only one state needs to adopt proportional representation for sending reps to Congress for it to have an impact. Even a small new party with a dozen seats is likely to be a tie breaker.

It's because the election system is First Past the Post. If they changed it to Ranked Choice Voting, all candidates from both primaries (plus independents) could run in the election and it would be up to the public to decide which of them is best, with their vote going to a fallback candidate if their favourite doesn't win.

The US sorely needs at least one state to adopt PR for sending Representatives to Washington.
