Would it though? I'm not convinced of that. We already know what the party should look and act like based on actual progressive parties and policies around the world (even some past actions in the states itself), we really just need a name to know it by for everyone to get behind.

It's the whole problem-solution thing, doesn't matter what the name of the website or company is, we just need something to step in and fill that gap.

didn't know that one, was referring to the Land of Gallon one. Get to prince and princesses then everything would get fuzzy, recently acquired a hot-plate thing with conversions on it so remembered even less of it till I looked it up again.

Good idea with the hands, I kinda already had this with the other system (different methods though) so now I gotta do the new ones and sear that into my brain. I've always been interested in a tattoo like the myth busters guy with a ruler on his forearm but I like the hang-ten one and seems cheaper/less painful.

It could be useful at times, in my experience it's just two people trying to remember this strange ass poem and end up having to look it up anyways.

I was confused on the "cup" part because I wasn't sure if you meant like a typical drinking glass or the actual cup-customary measurement until I looked at it (another reason i dislike the measurement system...a cup of coffee is so damn vague at times). I'll definitely remember the torso one.

knew about the 0 but not the 100, good shit.

That's why I never believed in the rhetoric of "it's too late to consider 3rd party!" before the elections. Here it is just 6 months later and "we don't have time for that". Is it disingenuous then to just say there will never be time for that, like it is being implied here?

edit: just saw your other comments, I hope your DNC-tea party plan works with some effect. It's harder for those who have voted for decades for a party that just isn't responsive to the citizens so we'll see I suppose.

I would like to encourage more people on this platform to humbly bow out and respond with integrity when they don't know versus the "20 replies of arguments" that drown out the conversation. You might be correct but I think your response is in poor form (unless we're just celebrating being the lowest parts of social media).

lol how is capitulation the answer to authoritarianism but decentralization isn't? I feel like I'm missing something from your arguments because it just seems circular and all the while condemning the very infrastructure you're currently using on Lemmy (with obvious benefits) over centralized social-media.

lol you must really not talk to anyone outside of the internet if you think anything you said sounds remotely sane or like you aren't an entitled child trying to sound smug.

They need to be removed

whatcha mean by that bud? I think you're getting confused with all your edits.

lol defaulting to an instance attack, you're such a parody.

Anyone can see from our last conversation that even when replying in good faith you just refuse to engage, there is no point in trying to bring any sort of real conversation with you.

Anyone can also see from your modlog, you've been crying about voters for months and are still continuing to do so.

idk wtf the award pivot was trying to do or what you're even trying to say lol. Again, I'm glad I could engage with you so someone else doesn't have to and possibly thinking you might actually be a real person to have a conversation with. The only reason I've gone this far is so people can actually see the links and how you respond. Blocking doesn't help if it just means someone else has to put up with you instead.

Oh no! Someone who engages instead of downvoting! Imagine that! I must put more emotion into it without addressing anything the person said!! lol I've already seen where this is going which is why I figured I would save anyone else the trouble and reply to your constant whining before someone else got sucked in. Thank you for making it clear why you're doing all this though, you have no other way to express yourself or move on. Good luck with all that, if I run into you in the future I'll make sure to stick with one reply and watch ya fizzle out. Maybe this all might help you in the long run.
