That didn't address any of my concerns, but okay...

Let me ask you this. How many significant "third parties" have gotten a significant number of votes in elections, in the 250 years that this country has been sovereign?

There was Roosevelt in 1912 with the progressive party that got most of his voters after splitting from republicans (supported largely by the north at the time). The [white supremacist] American Independent party in 1968 split off from the democrat party (at that time, supported largely by the south) The Independent party in 1992 split off from the republican party, and even though they got nearly a fifth of the popular vote, they didn't get any electoral votes.

Historically, a third party has only gotten significant traction by infiltrating and then splitting off from a major party. Why would we not want to fracture this broken democrat party into something useful? We have the opportunity, and I firmly believe that the youth (once they start voting and getting on their feet enough to stand in this sea of shit that we find ourselves in) will make that move to split and reform the party to be something better.

I can understand not wanting to vote for someone who endorses some of the things you oppose (and some things that you might even be okay with!), but I do not understand still withholding that vote when the other option is someone whose actions repeatedly endorse ALL the things you oppose, but orders of magnitude worse.

Already in the social labor party, but the restrictions of a 527 organization seem so... broken? The political party can't endorse any specifc candidates, pay for campaign expenses, etc. You'd need a PAC for that.

After all of those hurdles, the idea of a third party being viable across all states seem very far away, and with FPTP systems it is very unlikely that it would be able to do anything before people are put in camps for being LGBTQ+ or calling out fascists for what they are.

I saw this recently and sent it to some folks as a joke (been trying to get them to switch) They did seem more receptive to it, though. https://gitgud.io/wackyideas/aerothemeplasma/

Make sure your passport is up to date!

I can't say that I've tried this for python, but have you looked into multi-root workspaces? That is how my current C++ and cmake setup performs, so Python might have something similar.

We need the people who don't go online, or orly watch corporate news networks and only use corporate social media to notice, get interested and join in. We don't need to tell people in the echo chamber about the shit that is happening, we need to tell our neighbors, coworkers, and local politicians- to let them know that there are people who notice and want change. We won't beat corporate funded media in their game.

Would love to share the source for the turnout estimates around, if you have it handily!

If you are in a lower tax bracket now then you would be when you retire, put it into a roth. If a high bracket today then tomorrow, put it into a traditional.

I have only just heard this for the first time and it is interesting to me, what is the reasoning for this? I've been following the pattern of max out 401k match -> max out roth -> send extra to 401k, but I don't really follow the intuition behind either strategy.

Just shared in another comment, instead of doing this you can also use http://playit.gg/ to create a proxy without requiring an account and also not requiring port forwarding. They lease you a domain name, too

i've been using http://playit.gg/ to set up a simple proxy that i can share with my friends! You just forward the port that jellyfin uses and share the link (and it works for all manner of other servers)
