@freemo Why even leave the house to vote then?
I would say the same about voting for a major party. In not a single election would your vote have changed the outcome, ever. So why do it?
Moreover, if we just look at the significance of your vote, you are a larger percentage of the vote when voting for a third party than when voting for a primary party. Something on the order of 50x **more** impactful when voting for a third party than a primary party in percentage of the vote you account for.
Moreover while not winning or winning for a primary has little effect from your vote, with a third party even loosing has a positive outcome. By swinging the % higher (which you do wtih 50x more effect) you are sending a message even when you loose by raising the % enabling third-party more likely access, exposure, and chance to win in the future.
@freemo @LouisIngenthron You do realize you are arguing for anarchy and human cooperation here? Over people having power over others?
Agreeing would mean just that, only talking to each other free of any state or authority could help.
Anarchy as a distilled idea would not have voting. I think you are thinking of libertarianism not anarchy.
Yes I realize I lean most strongly towards libertarianism.
Human cooperation is just a fancy word for democracy, which I also approve.
@freemo @LouisIngenthron Libertarianism is strongly coopted by people trying to earn profit, not cooperate. Democracy is strongly coopted by people that are good at manipulating others.
The question of cooperation is if people can communicate freely. That is currently not the case. You do need to account for manipulation.
And anarchy is a slim slice of the topic, if an important one. It is often coopted by aggressive people, no aggression is ever anarchist. Just an excuse, then. Who works together with no force compelling, that is anarchist. If the force compelling arises, that is when anarchy breaks down and humans revert to their animal selves.
@admitsWrongIfProven @freemo There's a difference between libertarianism with a small 'l' that stands for small government that works for everyone, and Libertarians with a big 'L' that are just far-right authoritarian stooges who took over the national party.
@LouisIngenthron @freemo Hard to tell those apart...
@admitsWrongIfProven @freemo Actually, it's pretty easy. Just ask if they believe in an age of consent. 😂
So true, the party is loony tunes, the principles not too horrible for many things
@freemo @LouisIngenthron @admitsWrongIfProven It only seems crazy because it would be actual freedom and jerking it to Regan. Legalize all drugs, full auto, no ATF and abortions available on demand.
If I'm a man and can stand my ground, my woman should be able to stand her ground by having an abortion too. The world doesn't need more people like me and to have to put up with the horror of carrying that is inhumane.
A Driver's License should include motorcycles by default. The DCMA should go away. Religious marriages shouldn't be respected, it was likely coerced. Vaccine mandates shouldn't exist, let people die how they want. Having sex with a patient should be okay, it doesn't get much safer than that.
@freemo @LouisIngenthron @admitsWrongIfProven It would be nice to try a secretary out before hiring too but that just sounds sexist and creepy as hell. Unless the genders are swapped, it is not tolerable in modern society.
@AmpBenzScientist @freemo @admitsWrongIfProven I personally recommend all new hires get hired into a 1 month probation period.
Most companies will fire you after that time if you're not performing well enough, so giving that period a name and letting them know the stakes up front is just good business.
@LouisIngenthron @freemo @admitsWrongIfProven Personally I don't see why that doesn't replace the interview. An interview at a previous job involved wiping and writing an image to a computer lab. Yes it was rather simple but it was through the network.
Hiring individuals as independent contractors could make it less intimidating. It's not an option everywhere but it looks better than a probationary period on a resume. A contract just doesn't get renewed, it also doesn't imply fault and makes for an easier clean up.
These are common practices in the industry and they have names. Using contracting as a probationary period for hire is called "contract to hire"
@freemo @LouisIngenthron @admitsWrongIfProven Well we need to rename these things to something better to soften the blow of the minor issue of the doors coming off during operation. It's restructuring and a move towards compliance with the regulatory bodies. We will all be getting raises and reducing cost while protecting our image.
We keep this company afloat or in the air. It doesn't matter what we make. WE make the money. 7075 is just Aluminum right? If we were to recycle beer cans, we would be seen as Green and save a lot of money.
@AmpBenzScientist @LouisIngenthron @admitsWrongIfProven
Ill just leave this here.
