I don't understand how it's not a moral or ethical thing. Morals and ethics literally define which policy you vote for and mathematically helping or being neutral to the side you know will do things worse for your morals I feel like is pretty directly connected.

Don't get me wrong, I sympathize. My preferred candidate has done some bad things but it's not even close to how bad the other candidate is. If the two candidates were Hitler and mecha Hitler like I'm not gonna be happy but I'm voting for the less bad of the two. Third parties are just not mathematically viable

Also vote shaming is like peak democracy. You have a right to disagree with me and vote however you like. I'm not trying to take that away from people voting third party but I also have a right to complain about it

I don't know the exact details of their setup but I would imagine if they have phones on the ship there's a network they can connect to on the ship that's not their starlink internet.

Aside from being able to possibly identify the starlink waveforms with passive RF surveillance or being able to identify the location of the ship through hacking spacex or their satellites, if they went back and forth between being connected on their phones to the ship network and the internet, their phones could have been compromised, leaving the possibility also of them being a perfect pivot point for hackers interested in exfilling important government secrets.

Overall just very bad opsec for a ship and definitely not a good idea.

Oh wait I forgot my favorite of all. Although idk how popular it is because its not on a standard platform

This game is incredible. Genuinely like probably the best game I've ever played. It simulates an economy fairly accurately (using the different colonies outputs and inputs to determine prices dynamically). In addition to this colonies can be hurt by you or other parties, affecting the prices of items on the market significantly so you can try to make your money on this margin.

There's space fleet battles with a complex ship modification system. There's colony management, it has an interesting early game and it keeps your interest as you get further in the game with new challenges.

It is $15 dollars and is technically in early access (which tbh is a steal). Though in practice my experience with it is not remotely reflective of it being early access. It's a little like how dwarf fortress was in early access (although unlike df before the steam launch there is a frontend that's really solid).

Heretics Fork is a really good deckbuilding tower defense game https://store.steampowered.com/app/2181610/Heretics_Fork/

The hell theme is cool, the cards are interesting as well as the characters you can play and overall just a really high quality game that's underappreciated.

Dog Brew is also really good https://store.steampowered.com/app/2883280/Dog_Brew/

It's a cute game where you are a dog that brews beer. The game isn't complicated and its pretty short in playtime but it's $3.50 without a sale and its both cute and fun so I think it's very worth.

For my it's Bone's Café.

Imagine overcooked but where you kill and use your customers as ingredients and can raise skeletons from the dead to automate as your chefs and servers. It's overall a very well put together game, especially for one with 240 reviews (total)

I haven't played it couch co-op but the solo play has been really enjoyable

Read: Two guys with no AI expertise agree that its boosting of their share price should continue (real shocker).

These news articles really love jerking these CEOs off

I regularly say "Art of the deal" ironically when I observe someone win in a low stakes negotiation. I guess that's also kinda it's always sunny but it's definitely trumpian as well

I think the more viable option is just packing the court but biden would have to get two Republicans to flip and all Democrats to agree. It's embarrassing he didn't do it when the Democrats had Senate in 2020

Agree but I feel like pointing that out is implying this somehow doesn't make things worse which I feel like is missing the point. This removes the implicit threat of prosecution for anything the president does.

Now no matter how much political will exists for the prosecution, the president is fully and unequivocally immune.

The only reason they separated out official acts is to stall the ruling on trump's case. If it goes back to the SCOTUS they will say all acts are official but rule on the very last day they can. They are doing this to delay it until after the election.

Remember that this whole time biden could have packed the SCOTUS and turned the Republican majority into a Democrat majority. Nothing in our Constitution says only 9 supreme court appointees. He's just not willing to do it because he is a liberal and doesn't want to use his power to crush the Republicans like they need to be.

If it was trump he would have (and did) wielded the knife of political power with no hesitation but the moment Democrats have the knife they hold it with fear the Republicans would accuse them of being partisan.
