Wow if third parties are so powerful then how come you’re not voting for one too?

It seems like a great way to force the major party of your choice to pay attention to your politics.

What background do I need to have in order to be allowed to recognize that the mathematics of lesser evils don’t make any sense?

Is there some amount of subjugation I can be under that allows me to have a materialist analysis?

Literally me: Don’t encourage these scumbags, don’t wait another moment to stand up for what you know is right, voting is the easiest way to make your voice heard!

You: wow, must be nice!

If youre reading this, don’t listen to people who try to mobilize identity politics against you. They don’t know or care who you are and would hate you more if you were a minority speaking out.

No.

I haven’t held my nose for a democrat for going on fourteen years and I’m not going to start now.

I’m politically active far beyond voting and have spoken face to face with several representatives. They don’t care or listen.

No amount of voting reform will fix the fundamentally unjust American political system.

I have been doing the work and will continue to do so. Voting for PSL in this election is part of that work.

If you’re reading this, don’t fall for the “oh if only we had star or ranked choice” fiddlefarting around the edges garbage. We live in under a fundamentally unjust political system and especially when both major parties are advocating in support of genocide there is no reasonable argument for performing the calculus required to declare one the lesser evil.

Walk away from omelas.

I’m not gonna fight you and I’m happy you’re getting the experience you want.

Consider getting a replacement while the battery is still in warranty.

The game changer is stock. Keep a bag of vegetable waste (and bones if you’re doing that) in the freezer. Fill to the max line then add cold water to that line as well. Add peppercorns, mustard seeds, whatever and 30 minutes gets you as good as the best store bought for ~free. An hour gets you restaurant style and 1:30 gets you basically rich, dark soup base. I used to roast bones and vegetable bits before boiling to get more color but that’s not required with the instant pot and you also aren’t running a big ol pot on the stove for hours.

Most people don’t make their own stock because it takes so long and is heavily tied to frugality. When you’re getting basically a kitchen defining ingredient for free at the press of a button the calculus changes and also anyone you give food to will be genuinely amazed.

The yoghurt function is good. I don’t eat enough yoghurt to use it but you’re getting homemade for basically the cost of milk.

Mashed potatoes are fast too.

You ran the battery at a discharge rate that was too high for it to do its chemical reaction at the rate that allows it to maintain capacity.

Rather than looking for a solution on the off chance that you know better than whoever programmed the charge controller, why not just process what sounds like an in warranty replacement for a damaged consumable part?

I can’t help you with the budget. That’s not enough money to buy a laptop new with that particular functionality.

If you can tolerate getting something older (and your described use case doesn’t sound like it would prohibit an older device!), thinkpads, MacBooks and the like almost always have removable wireless and Bluetooth modules.

These older devices are often a better choice than newer ones because they’re repairable and parts are plentiful and inexpensive. You will be much happier spending $200 on a used t480 or 2012 mbp than you will buying a new computer at that price.

You need to yank the antennas too if you’re really a paranoiac, but if a killswitch would be enough then you’re very clearly not that person.

You need a new battery. Don’t try to fix the problem. Replace the battery.

If you’re tired of this kind of crap you can vote for the party for socialism and liberation. They’re running de la Cruz on a platform of Palestinian statehood and an end to arms shipments to israel.

Psl is active in elections other than presidential, run candidates at the local level and take part in protests and aid.
