If 14 year old me had heard I would buy a top-tier computer only to underclock it, he would have cried.

But here we are.

All the people saying mandatory voting is bad are misinformed. It is essential for democracy, and should be applied everywhere.

Australia has mandatory voter turnout, but you do not need to submit a vote. You just need to show up on polling day.

Everyone has political interests and needs to be politically represented, but some people are too tired after work to take themselves to the polling centre. Others are incarcerated. If anything, those people are more in need of political representatives.

American conservatives spend billions trying to prevent poor overworked people from reaching polling places or exercising their right to vote. Mandatory voting prevents that.

Make no mistake, Australian democracy is healtheir than whatever clusterfuck in going on in the US.

Not really educational, more just a fun stream that covers astrology/exobiology news and gaming, but I enjoy Moohoodles on Twitch.

Sacha Baron Cohen is one classy son of a bitch.

He played Ali G. He risked his life interviewing conservatives. He infuriated the Kazakhstan government.

I was repeatedly called an Oompa Loompa by someone upset about losing Starcraft 2, which sounds pretty tame, but the hatred this person put into his writing.

I dunno why but my man HATED oompa loompas

From the article: "Maybe people mean that no inductive argument will conclusively, indubitably prove a negative proposition beyond all shadow of a doubt."

While you are correct, its fair to assume that the above is what is meant here.

I'm happy to eat bugs. Lobsters are basically bugs.

Don't conflate the ecologically sustainable practice of bug-eating with American fascist secret service bullshit.
