I’m not who you replied to, but there is a big stack of ansible playbooks for it that make it pretty pushbutton. They primarily use docker. This is what I used and I got it setup in like an hour.

The “pre approved candidates” thing is a problem with first past the post voting and not inherently a part of democracy. Alternative voting systems make it mathematically possible for any random person to win and thus buying out every possible candidate is untenable. Check out ranked voting and see if there are any movements near you to change the voting systems you use.

Do you mean middle school level vocabulary? Because I would argue that middle schoolers are absolutely fluent in their native languages. Hell, I think maybe even 9 year olds are fluent.

“Wow, you’re really shit at bargaining. They really took you for a ride!”

Because its not really “1 plus 3”, its negative 1 plus 3 which is two. I know it seems a little weird but the minus sign is " tied" to the thing following it.

I’d watch the shit outta that remake.

Character design on right is evocative of Yu Yu Hakusho. Or maybe it just looks like a young Genkai?

Amen. The layer system works the way my brain works. Top tier, hard to use anything else.

Normally I’d agree, but it being A24 makes me very hopeful.

Actual advice for anyone seeing and wanting guidance:

If you’re waiting for a day when every citizen says to themselves “enough is enough” and then stands up and walks outside to start the revolution, without communicating with each other, that’s never going to happen.

If you want a revolution, you need to be organized. That means joining an organization and being ready for the call when it happens. So if you want a revolution, I urge you, please join a group. Do your best to join one that emphasizes mechanical action, but join one. Even if it’s small, these groups find each other and coordinating a bunch of small organizations is way easier and more feasible than a multitude of individuals.

I also want to emphasize that joining the group doesn’t necessarily mean “giving a bunch of time and resources to the group”. Many groups are happy to just have you contactable so they can keep you informed of actions and group initiatives (voting or otherwise).

I’ve got recommended groups if people want them, just ask. But please, join one and start building the revolution now.

Description sounds like Saint Slime

Man, fraggles really do love radish though.

Big fan of “The Bunny with the Pearl Earring”.

Don’t know if I’d say “people” want more of this. Me, a nearly middle aged adult does, but the traditional battle system is more than enough for their primary audience who are children.

More education is definitely needed - that’s the stage the movement is at. But you (whoever is reading this) could be the one to educate people. The emphasis of most of these local chapters is education, and they’ll teach you how, where, and when to educate people.

Reminder that the system doesn’t have to be two party. Ranked choice voting (aka single transferable vote), proportional representation - these things increase political competition by making more parties mathematically possible and give us greater control over our government.

It’s already been implemented in some States and municipalities across the country. If yours isn’t one of them, it could be. There are several orgs trying to get this done such as Rank The Vote. Check to see if you have a local chapter and how you can help them!

Millie Bobby Brown actually has (or had) this going on due to her filming Stranger Things during formative years. It’s really fascinating to listen to this weird halfway point between the two. You can hear it well here: https://youtu.be/xhjooxtYf9Q?t=50

A particularly interesting point is around ~1:10 where she’s been largely using her American accent, but she uses the word after, but instead of starting the word with the TRAP vowel we would expect, she uses the BATH vowel instead owing to her original British accent. But I think what’s even more interesting is that when she does this, it doesn’t sound like she swapped back to her British accent for a single word - it sounds much more like someone with a general American accent doing an impression of a British person saying the word after!

That sounds fascinating. If I were interested in those shows, where would I start? Are there at least some that are easily listenable to on the open internet?

I will never entertain the argument of the person you replied to and your post is exactly why. The originally story being divided into three pieces, is in itself not an actual problem. It could potentially cause other problems, but whether or not it actually does is completely separate.

Remake took me 80 hours to complete (to my non-completionist satisfaction) and had a clear and satisfying beginning middle and end. On this front, I don’t know what you could realistically complain about.
