I’ve used vote411.org in the past and it’s done a decent enough job for me to double check local candidates and their policies ideas prior to elections. I’m willing to try others though. Any thoughts on vote411?

Came here to say this. Thank you for beating me to it.
I just signed an offer for a 8am-4pm job, so I guess they do but it’s been a long while since I’ve had a job with those hours.
It’s almost like I’ve heard investing advice say this for my entire life. Can’t imagine why’d they tell us that over and over and then corner the market. Couldn’t be that they lie to us. That just, like CAN’T be. Right? RIGHT?!
That’s funny, cause I say the same thing about him.
Yo, JK, it’s SO EASY to NOT say anything. Just stop saying things.
I assume I will forget to make myself a cakeday meme like I did every year I was on Reddit. Seems appropriate as a celebration.
I do this too, thankfully I work from home. No has to listen to me but my cat.
Well, I can’t take them with me…
Ummm it’s hard to do without giving up a wonderful 9-book, 7 or 8 novella plot, but I’ll do my best. It’s ultimately a space opera, but the ideas explored are well thought out and intriguing. I don’t think it really gets as deep into what you’re looking for as you’d like but it’s still a wonderful book series.
Future humans, in our solar system, lots of political intrigue between the powers of the UN (all of earth), the Martian Congressional Republic, and the Outer Planets Alliance (people of the asteroid belt, less of a govt, more of a political movement). Someone finds what might be alien life or alien technology (possibly sitting for a billion years in outlets solar system), and the rest is what happens to humans in the wake of that.
The tech itself gets into possible collective consciousness, planet-sized carbon crystal data storage and quantum entanglement. Along with things like worm hole technology and heavily bending (but not really breaking) the laws of physics.
It’s all written with VERY sound scientific thought behind every little nuance of the story and all the tech involved.
It’s not the hardest of sci-fi and ultimately there’s isn’t a ton in the narrative specifically about this, but there’s some really interesting stuff in The Expanse series (book, not show) that touches on this kind of thing.
The premise is really cool which is what interested me enough to read the first book (Startide Rising) which I enjoyed.
Future human race is entering a galactic civilization, where all the space-faring species were “uplifted” by a previous space-faring race. Uplifting essentially means educating, breeding, and enhancing species to the point of our intelligence. Humans in this universe have done this to dolphins and great apes. The other alien species in the series looks down on humans as no one knows who or even if humans were uplifted. The main characters in Startide Rising were humans, dolphins and one chimpanzee, all on a spaceship crashed on an alien world.
I would suggest at least giving the series a shot.
It does, but I’ve seen these and they are nice but not what I’m looking for. Thanks either way!
Yeah that’s the thing, search results seem to end up just melting into every key cap ever after a couple of pages. I get that’s the nature of searching for something I want to purchase but hot damn is it annoying.
I don’t, of course. “Sir, this is a meme”
Weirdly, I am days fresh from a vasectomy.
I replay this game regularly. It’s so good. Gameplay, music, aesthetics…10/10 all around killer game.
I’ve had music on Spotify almost a decade now. Best it’s done was pay to keep it on Spotify. It won’t even be able to do that anymore.
Fair compensation for who? Record labels who already rake in tons of money, or small artists that now need 1000 streams a year at minimum to get paid at all on a specific track?
Like others in here, I find myself listening to whole records. Sometimes I’ll listen to a couple by an artist in a row.
I feel like I don’t listen to enough music. I try to sit down and actively listen to things when I can, but mostly I’ll get a record or two in while doing something mindless like dishes or yard work. Nothing gets overplayed this way.
