It doesn’t, though

Sure it does. I already explained how.

It doesn’t. Someone with a “left” view and a “right” view can cancel each other out,

Only if the person with a left view also has a right view. And only if the other person with the right view has a left view.

You seem confused. The point of it isn’t to give a fully accurate explanation of a person’s views on every topic. It’s to give somebody a general idea.

Plus, someone can say they are for something, but actually not support it in reality.

All political measurements fall victim to that. It’s a moot point. But just because some people are like that doesn’t mean everyone is.

Two people with wildly different views can occupy the same space

Not completely. If two people occupy a similar space, it means they agreed on something. That is meaningful. It’s vague, sure. But it isn’t completely random nonsense like astrology.

I just gave an example of how it is meaningful.

It’s definitely a terrible system, and there are better ones out there like 10Groups. But astrology is completely meaningless. The PCT at least tells you a vague (terrible, yes), but somewhat meaningful direction in which you believe.

For example, I know that since I’m libertarian left on the PCT, that I’m going to disagree with 90% of the things somebody who’s authoritarian right on the PCT believes.

Astrology doesn’t have that ability to reliably compare, since it is literally and completely meaningless.

But again, shit like 10Groups is better and everybody should switch to measures that have more than 2 axis.

If we don’t test for hurricanes, the problem will go away. Don’t look up.

Not at all, it’s just what I’m personally familiar with.

A dual USB C/USB A drive is always nice.

It makes transferring files from phone to phone or from phone to PC significantly nicer.

Shoutout to LocalSend if a purely software approach is applicable. Fills the same role very nicely, and is free.

Nobody said anything about that.

Sure, but would it be possible to artificially simulate a daylight cycle indoors, opposite of the outside one?

Sure, you wouldn’t be able to go outside very much, but you’d at least have your active hours in the coolest part of the day.

Add in a bit of of CRISPR to smooth out the rough edges, would it be enough then?

When everything’s a logic block, nothing will be

Reject tradition

Embrace scratch

It’s a double edged sword.

It seems like the only shots that were fired were from the secret service.

This post is how I found out about this 2nd attempt.

Maybe we shouldn’t be using an economic system whose immune system has historically lead to genocide, especially in an age where nukes are now a thing.

So you’re jumping to conclusions.

They’re not even saying everything is capitalism though.

GPU/ticket scalpers take on a risk too. But we don’t give a shit about them getting fucked by the risk, neither should we give a shit about landlords getting fucked. They’re no different than scalpers.

But what’s worse is, usually they never take on risk to begin with. Insurance companies take on the risk of actual damage. Banks take on some of the risk from the mortgage.

And usually, these landlords are operating under LLCs of some variety. So even if things went belly up, the fat cats get golden parachutes and the maintenance people get fucked.

Landlords are a scurge, and need to be ended as a social class.
