Nice, sorry if I came in hot. The issue you have is with health ramifications of the procedure which is also totally sane.

I'm not a big fan of the idea of abortion
Are you saying you're not a big fan as in you don't think it's a great, fun thing to do? Like "I'm not a big fan of _____ sport"? Or against the idea itself?
I'm assuming that by "the idea of abortion" what you really mean is that you're not a fan of killing babies, which is not what abortions are doing.
And if that's not what you mean then I ask that you clarify what it is you do mean since, sure, you make decent points here but it's important that everyone understands what an abortion is and what is being aborted, which is almost never a living baby.
If I'm being honest, someone who says they don't like the idea of abortion sounds like someone who doesn't know much at all about what one is or what it's removing. Or someone who thinks abortions are for sluts who go out fucking everyone and getting pregnant and just aborting 3rd trimester babies bc they're sluts (I will clarify here that I also don't see a problem with female promiscuity resulting in abortion either)
That means nothing imo, last book I read was years ago and I'm in a field most consider to be for sharper folks. Software dev. The book was the last in the three body problem trilogy.
In a world where the Twilight series exists, I really hate people who use the act of reading books as some intelligence measure
It's still an accident. Just look up the definition. I'd wager to say most accidents are entirely preventable as well, but that's not what determines whether something was an accident
Yeah there was a whole thing about it at the time, it made news and was credible. The fix for it being of course to double check your ballot before you cast, which could easily be a miss by a first time voter or maybe an elderly one.
My comment was in reference to the fact that Ted Cruz is a moron, and that we came really close to getting him out, but I do think there were some shenanigans with voting. Just the other way.
Every accusation is an admission
Here's an article about it, a quick Google returns a ton of results
didn't realize there were so many Ted Cruz fans on lemmy
Ah yes, the tired, old "perfect being the enemy of good", so let's just let it all go to shit since we can't get it perfect
The point they made enhances yours. Yes it is hypocritical, but is arguably worse on the conservatives' part since sexual orientation is something you're born with.
In those cases it's justifiable to have to work in-person. I don't think we'd want closed networks (presumably for stuff like nuclear power) exposed to the open internet.

It's just a massive time scale that it happens on, but yes that gives way to feeling like that. Read the first 2, put the last one down halfway through after it started shitting all over the first 2 books with a certain character's actions.
The second book has a really cool few pages that helped visualize what experiencing the 4th dimension could be like.
The series is more interesting for its concepts than it is for plot or any one character imo
