Approval Voting seems to just dilute your vote the more candidates you vote for. Candidates will tell people people to only place one vote. What a silly system.

Yup, and the only way out of that is Ranked Choice Voting.

Pretty sure he was referring to the non national guard gun owners.

The law also says "well regulated militia" but no one cares about that bit.

How does this play out if it's employee owned? Do the employees just get the pay out?

Lobotomy jokes don't hit like they used to. It's just kinda sad now.

Y'all make me so happy with interactions like this sometimes it almost outweighs how big of a POS the internet can be the rest of the time. Maybe there is hope!

I'm not following on why manager roles are different from traditional companies.

The book keeping? You mean splitting the profit? Why wouldn't you assume everyone has a % stake?

Some Executives have no understanding of the need for Deep Work and can't imagine how the office isn't good for it.

The problem is executives have no need of deep work, that's what they hire others for. Bad executives don't understand this and assume you need what they need.

Marijuana was considered a black person drug. If you didn't know, the US kinda hates black people, statistically speaking. It's pretty fucked up!

According to the available information, there is no direct mention of the percentage of black people who used marijuana in the 1960s and 1970s. However, we can infer some information from the provided snippets.
In the 1970s, marijuana use became more widespread among the general population. According to Gallup’s trend by age, widespread experimentation with marijuana first occurred among adults aged 18 to 29 between 1969 and 1973, rising from 8% to 35%. It then continued to mount, reaching 56% by 1977, and remained at that level in 1985.
It is important to note that the available information does not provide specific data on the percentage of black people who used marijuana during this time period. However, we can infer that marijuana use was more prevalent among younger adults, particularly those in the 18-29 age range, during the 1970s.
In terms of the potency of marijuana during this time period, reports suggest that pot in the 1970s had THC levels of around 1%. In contrast, today, the herb you’re smoking has a lot more THC, with levels averaging more than 6-8%. Some specially grown plants can contain THC levels as high as 51%.
It is also worth noting that a 2022 analysis of marijuana possession arrests in Texas for the years 2017 to 2019 reported that African Americans comprised 30.2 percent of all possession arrests, yet Black people comprised only 12.9 percent of the state’s population. This suggests that there may be racial disparities in marijuana use and arrest rates, but the available information does not provide specific data on the percentage of black people who used marijuana in the 1960s and 1970s.

Edit: The above is kind of incorrect, the herb I smoke brags ~25%, though sources say those #s vary greatly.

I wonder how long it would take them to map out the caves and things - using drones and such. Screw diving down there!

These polls get more laughable the longer this goes on. They keep calling boomers, because no one else answers their damn phone, and reporting on what they were told.

Lies, damned lies, and statistics.
