I think any warp travel at all was damaging, and lowering warp speeds was the compromise to slow down the damage they were doing but did not completely eliminate it

BTW, it’s around 13.5 percent but regardless it’s not 80% (that’s a lie)

Sure, if you only measure after 6 weeks.

For women of reproductive age, losses between implantation and clinical recognition are approximately 10–25%. Loss from implantation to birth is approximately one third [39, 46, 48, 49].

A recent re-analysis [39] of data from three studies [46, 48, 49] concluded that, in normal healthy women, 10–40% is a plausible range for pre-implantation embryo loss and overall pregnancy loss from fertilisation to birth is approximately 40–60%.

I have only been talking about what voters should have done.

This election should have taught you that you can’t control voters beyond giving them a reason to vote for you. Not being the other guy is not a good enough reason.

Third parties are electable when they can do this better than the two major parties, and people stop buying into the propaganda you are spreading. They are legitimized when you vote for them. They are a threat to the major parties that can only be realized if you vote for them.

Except, not you, because you’re not an American voter, so why are you here again?

Sorry, mate, but don’t assume. I’m not american, I’m kiwi.

They’re not even a citizen, they’re just here to spread anti-democratic voting propaganda from other fucking side of the ocean where they don’t have to deal with the effects or care about any actual causes.

Your rights are protected

Like how Roe V. Wade was protected when Biden got into office? Like our right to protest the atrocities which our taxes are paying for in Gaza?

Why wait for the major parties to replace the system that keeps them in power? Why shouldn’t the people vote for a third party that truly strives to represent their views? Just because the major parties say they can’t, tie things up in the courts, and make up some bullshit to justify it? Why should the people remain committed to a system that sells them out to the highest bidder and erodes their rights no matter who is in power?

How do you know a progressive third party couldn’t also sway many Republican voters just as it does Democrat voters, by revealing just how corrupt and ineffective both major parties are, teaching the people how the other parties’ answers will fail them and have failed them in the past, and making an honest effort to stand up for working class interests?

You can rationalize it however you want to, it’s undemocratic and it means the people do not get to choose who they vote for.

It wasn’t just 2016. They told everyone to drop just before the primary in 2020 so Biden could run, who then only won because people were motivated to get Trump out. Then in 2024 they didn’t even have a primary, ignored protest “uncommitted” votes and pretended everything including the economy was booming, and used the same exact campaign manager for Kamala that ran Hliary’s campaign into the ground. Saying they made “reforms” is just complete bullshit to make you feel like they are responsive to the will of the people, and I can’t believe anyone falls for it.

The rest of that is just more drivel, it’s simply the most successful way the Democrats have been able to justify their anti-democratic actions and rhetoric. Candidates are electable if the people vote for them and, even if it does “split the ticket” (it doesn’t), more candidates allows more competing narratives to get out there and changes what discussions are taking place across election season. When the results come back, those results tell the major parties (and the people) what motivated the people to vote, so they can meet the people where they are and be held accountable when they refuse to. If there are no progressive candidates getting a significant number of votes, they take it as a message to move right and capture that audience instead.

If the Republicans and Democrats can’t get the people off their couches, why don’t they let someone else give it a try?

The wealthy. The DNC very publicly screwed over Bernie two elections in a row and fights to stop other parties like the PSL from getting universal ballot access

Yeah idk if I just watched most of my friends and family drop dead from starvation, I don’t think I’d want to go on living either.

Listen, I really don’t have the energy to debate you. “enable” and “cause” are two entirely different words.

Not what I said. Cars and suburbia certainly enable that, however.

What if we built more homes within a few hundred feet of a public transport stop and built societies where we don’t all hate each other and can’t stand to spend more than a few hours in the same building with people that aren’t in our direct household?

How convenient it is then, that local transportation is also a thing that exists.

Edit: not sure if I was blocked or if it’s just an error… but here’s my reply for anyone that isn’t so sensitive to being challenged on their view of the world

There you go again proving that you are both uncurious and uncreative in using technology as it already exists today.

That is also very obviously not what I am talking about, nor is it where the vast majority of people in the US who use cars, are living. but good for you. The only moral car ownership is MY car ownership, and the two can’t possibly exist alongside each other, therefore shut up about public transportation we can’t have it sorry.

!fuckcars@lemmy.world

!fuck_cars@lemmy.ml

Trains. The answer is trains. Just because you are uncreative in using technology as it exists today does not mean that we have to go back to the stone age to find a low-emissions and safe means of transportation.

they’d find some clever way of putting it all in some kind of “company trust” or something, so they don’t have it as an individual.

That’s fine, as long as there’s legal stipulations as to how that money can be spent, similar to campaign finance laws. That kind of money should go back into the company to the benefit of both the workers (via continued employment and fair compensation) and the consumers that support the company (via the quality of the company’s product). It should not go to any individual executive to pocket and walk away with.

Listen I can’t prove it, but I swear on my mother it does

No joke, I once sat down at a restaurant with an Austrian exchange student who; when a somewhat-larger-than-usual ramekin of ranch was placed in front of him, before the rest of his meal came out; proceeded to unwrap a straw, stick it in the ranch, and take a drink.

All I could do is watch as this unfolded before me.

Brother it takes 3 minutes to boil water in the microwave. I have done this without fail.

It cools down much faster though. Not sure how that works.

I don’t know if you realize this but most Americans do not live in the lands that american weapons destroy and do not know the first thing about what goes on in those places, other than what their media tells them.

It wasn’t about appealing to us, it was about appealing to the common American voter. Democrats failed to do either.
