All this that does is ensure this election’s Democrat is the same as last election’s Republican

Even if this is true and we're in a metaphorical political nosedive, that's still harm reduction, it's 4 more years to be politically active in a functioning democracy, vote in every primary and general you can from your local school board up to the presidential election, and hopefully pull up hard enough that we don't actually smash into the ground

If you think our democracy is already too far gone and completely unsalvageable, you shouldn't be advocating for other people not to vote, you should instead be advocating for people to join/form a local militia and start training to defend it because clearly it's already time to break out the 4th box

Why would NATO have any say in if they accept or not? What would the threat be if they do, they stop providing them with arms and ammunition? Surely, if Russia is indeed so benevolent, Ukraine wouldn't need them going forward in this hypothetical peace?

I never did, that's the least destructive way to let your displeasure be known, as long as you still vote for, and encourage others to vote for, the least bad candidates in the general elections (spoilers, the least bad candidates will pretty much universally be blue)

There's primaries for federal elections every 2 years in the US, if you want to change the makeup of the party, vote for different candidates in them

Sorry but most people don't read Pravda

"But you see, hohol, if you just let me win the war, then there will be peace!"

Being "anti-gun" is almost universally actually just being "pro-gun-but-only-for-the-state" when you sit down and analyze it

When the police and army disarm themselves, then we'll talk

the time for activism was back in the primaries

In a two party first past the post system, not voting (or throwing away your vote on a candidate who will not win) benefits the candidate you least want because it effectively gives half your vote to each side

In the general elections, voting blue no matter who is harm reduction, the time for activism was back in the primaries

AI is here and it's here to stay whether we want it or not, either it's free and legal for everyone to develop (ie training on copyrighted data does not violate copyrights), or only the massively rich corporations will be able to afford to pay for (or already happen to have the rights to as the case may be, see stock photo companies or reddit for examples) the sheer amounts of data that are needed to adequately train them

until humanity’s final days.

Damn those last kids, they'll never know what we had to deal with!!

Attributing price changes to "supply and demand" doesn't mean it's being attributed to both (ie supply changes and demand changes), simply that there is now a mismatch between the two

In this case, if supply remains the same, but demand decreases, then the price will go down until they are in equilibrium again
