I don’t support either of those things, but they’re happening either way. Hence why I voted for the one poised to do less. Unfortunately, not enough people did the same thing, and now we’re bombing Iran. I guess you won. Congrats?

I learned on tiny back roads in hill country in a GMC Yukon Denali. That thing was the size of a small bedroom. Can confirm, driving anything else is a piece of cake.

Do you not even remember your own point?

If Democrats would stop voting for what they thought was the lesser evil things wouldn’t keep getting worse

That’s precisely splitting the vote.

Who is the DNC mass murdering right now? The government is controlled by Republicans right now. The Democrats losing the election did not end the genocide in Gaza, in many ways it’s gotten even worse. And now Republicans are doing additional terrible things that the Democrats would not have done.

You care more about posturing and virtue signaling your purity than you care about other countries. Everything is worse now but at least you didn’t compromise.

So then you admit that it’s a useless hypothetical, and your proposed strategy doesn’t actually accomplish anything except splitting the vote to let the far right win more?

When did I “shit on” it? I’m just saying it’s a complicated undertaking with practical concerns that require consideration.

When did I say that? I’m for a general strike, I’m just not for a half-assed general strike that’s doomed to fizzle out within a week.

Successful strikes have had strike funds. Unfunded strikes fail.

I never said to do nothing. But action for action’s sake without setting the necessary foundation is foolish and counterproductive.

What was bipartisan about it? It’s actually a perfect example of my point.

Did you not read what I wrote? It doesn’t matter what “time” it is if you don’t have the necessary tools.

Prefacing a statement deserving of valid criticism with an assertion that critics are bad does not make the criticism invalid.

And genocide marches on, entirely unaffected by your lack of support. Good thing there weren’t any other policies “blue maga” differed on, right?

Successful strikes require a strike fund, money to pay bills while hourly workers are not working hours. Americans largely live paycheck to paycheck, with little to no savings. Without funds, strikes end prematurely due to the threat of starvation and eviction.

If Democrats would stop voting for what they thought was the lesser evil things wouldn’t keep getting worse

If you could get every Democratic voter to collectively agree to that, yeah, sure.

Do you have an actionable plan to get 80 million voters to suddenly vote differently? Because if not, that’s kind of a useless hypothetical.

Paul Allen’s happy trail

I don’t think you understand. Axe is the lesser evil with certain 14-18 year old boys. The alternative is heinous body odor. Showers are an “also ran”.

All the odd cubes (5x5, 7x7, etc) aren’t really much more difficult than 3x3. You can learn basically one or two extra algorithms to reduce it to effectively a 3x3 (e.g. for a 5x5 consolidate 3x3 centers and 1x3 edges, then solve exactly like a 3x3). And honestly the consolidation steps are pretty easy to figure out without actual algorithms for the most part.

I never really messed with even cubes (4x4, 6x6, etc) but I’d imagine they scale the same.

Easily thousands of times. I learned back in high school, on a forum that went on to be a very fondly remembered element of my teenage years.

It’s really not that hard if you can memorize a few algorithms. I learned a very basic set of general algorithms, like half a dozen. Not very efficient, but easy to learn and I can still solve one in about a minute.

If you want to get into proper speed cubing you can learn dozens, or even hundreds, of increasingly specific algorithms. This, combined with a high quality cube and finger tricks, can get you closer to 10 seconds.

But if you just want to be able to solve one, you can learn in an afternoon.
