I disagree! It’s best to not use Brave since it’s a front for a homophobe.

Or Muatra

I suspect soon they’ll remove voting altogether, replaced by a measure of how long it held attention.

Mastodon has account migration? Are we going to get that?

I assume they mean this?

In the past, some critics have criticized 12-step programs as pseudoscientific and “a cult that relies on God as the mechanism of action”. Until recently, ethical and operational issues had prevented robust randomized controlled trials from being conducted comparing 12-step programs directly to other approaches. More recent studies employing randomized and blinded trials have shown 12-step programs provide similar benefit compared to motivational enhancement therapy (MET) and cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), and were more effective in producing continuous abstinence and remission compared to these approaches.

Then just use a different server? Facebook has an agenda too and the rest of us would prefer an occasional break from it.

No. I’m telling you that within 25% is close and you’re trying to argue that it’s not.

Yes, that was only 25% short.

In that he got a large percentage of the total votes.

But you just replied to them

If one is a leftist and wants a third party just so we’ll be represented at all, then supporting right wing independents could backfire. Their corrupt corporate moderates are costing the right just as much support as they cost us. There’s a lot of religious folks out there who - if united - would usher in the Handmaid’s Tale.

Ross Perot came very close to actually winning. In today’s climate, a far right candidate just might.

If inflation is our metric, then Democrats have been in agreement with Republicans ever since the Nixon Shock.

Bbbut we just need to buy time for [insert other thing that hasn’t been working]!

1854, with the generous assumption that the threat of party replacement hasn’t influenced policy positions whatsoever.

So in today’s elections, one might point to Democrats who are increasingly opposed to FPTP.

I’m wondering if it’ll be similar to people switching from (convenient & centralized) Compuserve and AOL to (difficult but p2p) email and web. That took years.
