MissJinx, in Step-By-Step Guide to Buy a Senator

Even if both were ilegal the democratic political system is still corruptible. Let’s say you want to make a law that’s going to help a lot of people, you still need others from the opposing party to vote for it, (even if there are more than 2 parties) so they also need you to vote in something for them. Even if there is no money in the middle, it is still a corrupt system. Is there a better one today? I don’t think so. But still crap

That’s not corruption. That’s politics.

EDIT: in advance of questions, to explain the difference, what you have described is called political compromise (finding solution that suits both parties). We need MORE of that. Corruption is when politician personally benefit from "selling" their votes.

Zuberi,

Believe it or not, you could have more than 2 parties to vote for.

vonxylofon,

The stated problem is actually more pronounced with a larger number of parties than 2. If the governing party is strong, but doesn’t have majority, and the opposition is split, they usually need to trade favours with the opposition parties to get anything done.

weker01, in Calculus? Nah, bro, that's easy stuff

I find it scary that some people are afraid to do simple arithmetic and the most basic geometry…

KrummsHairyBalls,

Do you not see the made up measurements?

  • Mega Plus
  • Rolls
  • Double Plus
  • Super Mega
  • Regular

You’d have to sit there for 8 minutes converting all of the “measurements”, figure out how much is in each package, and then only after doing it for all rolls and brands, you’ll be able to compare.

Easy math, but takes time. No one said it’s hard. It’s just time consuming.

Alexstarfire,

There is no standard roll of toilet paper so it’s impossible to compare that way between brands. That’s why everyone says to look at how many square feet are in the package.

I have been meaning to do this. I have found that local politicians are exceptionally cheap. Buy a few, and hope that one makes it big.

snowraven,

The world is such a sad place to live. This comes from USA, just think about all the third world countries, it’s not any better but worse sadly.

MentallyExhausted, in Maybe it's just a Lemmy phone app problem?

That’s an app bug.

Custoslibera,

I’ve experienced it on Voyager and Memmy not a big deal but slightly disconcerting.

Something like this happens on liftoff, but only when the post crops the image

I don’t think it was ever a bug on Voyager, at least I’ve never encountered it with long posts

juja,

It happens to me on voyager. OP didn’t mention but I think they’re specifically referring to videos with vertical height larger than the screen. The video starts playing as you scroll and when the video is playing, I assume any touch gesture on the video is interpreted as video controls so you’re essentially stuck there without being able to scroll. Only way out is to kill the app and relaunch. Maybe it’s specific to iOS. It’s happening to me on iPhone 13 mini.

paschko,

Exactly this happened to me once on voyager (iOS)

Son_of_dad, in Calculus? Nah, bro, that's easy stuff

All these brands talking about how much length of tp there is, but they’re cutting the width. So now tp rolls are stumpy and small

DrMango,

Just floss your cheeks, bro.

KrummsHairyBalls,

Bro, rolls are TINY now. They used to fill up the width of my holder, and now they fill up less than 60%. They’ve just cut off 40% of the product lol.

He wrote a fantasticly absurd book “Shroud of the Thwacker”. I highly recommend finding a copy

If it wasn’t for Handsome Boy Modeling School, I’d still have sixty dollars.

Taser,

But you’d still have your handsome face, and that modeling career in Albania (or some Balkan country)… Still.

blanketswithsmallpox, in Is this what people think about Tor browser?

… Tor is just a modified Firefox though lmfao.

pchem, (edited )

It’s based on Firefox, but those modifications do have a rather large impact in terms of privacy.

Wow this is the first time I’ve ever seen someone bitch about an OP being TOO active in their own thread.

SchizoDenji,

My brother in christ, this joke is straight out of one of the Disney/WB cartoons where one of the portraits of a pig’s ancestors is just sausage.
