Why are the crazies always getting into positions of power?

Maybe need to get rid of elections and make it work like jury duty, or buildings with a resident’s association can take turns handling the building’s administration or communication with a third-party management firm.

There’s a lottery, a bunch of people are elected randomly.
They have to pass a minimum required education level check, and move on to the 4 years of training alongside other people in other places that get trained as replacements in case something happens to you, and next administration, you are the one in charge, like it or not.

Oh, no. Not pro. The one for stuff like ticket dispensers.

If research was funded with public money, be it government money or from people buying their products, then that research belongs to the people.

Stalk a billionaire until you catch them doing one of those reprehensible things billionaires do.

Then send messages to them through an anonymous source, and demand a small regular payment through untraceable means.

I bet every billionaire has about 100 of those in their payroll.

To be fair, and balanced, and Cody, there are actual foot pedals for computers.

They are mostly used for driving games, but they are pretty useful for other stuff, like push to talk, or additional ctrl alt and shift.

Even if you want Windows, it’s still better to get that edition that works just the same but has most of the bloat cut off, that they made for small business computers.

And they say Microslop only does bad things lately. What do you call more people switching to Linux to avoid their enshitification, if not a good thing?

It all makes sense now.

Level 10: all forms are valid as long as enough people use them. The currently most used forms are octopuses and octopi, both valid, but octopi is malformed, so octopuses is preferred. Octopussses and octopii and rare variants of those. Also correct, but rarely used.
Octopodes is also correct, but considered pedantic.

Level 11: Just use what you are used to.

Not boars, tho.
Wolves prefer not to fuck with adult boars.
Even when European lions were still around, they’d rather go for something else over a boar. Even bear cubs or baby mammoths, with all the risks involved.
Without some metal animal like Komodo dragons, it falls to humans to keep them in check.

Anything not to pay a freaking artist.
