Not really.

The only reason there is one fewer name than expected is because of Bush, which had the father appear on the ballot four times and the son appear twice. The Bush family was a very old school political dynastic family.

The only outlier on the Democratic side is Hillary Clinton in 2016. She used her husband’s political career to help her, but they were a self made political family. You also have the case where Biden could have been on the 2016 ballot and there would be no change in the number of names.

How do you think a person who lives in the middle of nowhere, doesn’t have much of an education or anything, would react if they saw someone doing this?

Fucking liberals who want to destroy everything, just like how I’ve heard on the few news sources I have bombard me with propaganda all the time.

We’ve been talking about climate change either way. We’re also not talking about climate change, but people claiming climate change while vandalizing.

I just don’t see how vandalizing artwork helps the cause. Please explain it to me.

You seem to be ok with causing harm unrelated to the action taken. This is just identifying what that line is.

So people can go randomly punch the homeless? It won’t matter in the end if we are all dead due to climate change.

My soils lab was the most fun lab in college.

There isn’t an inherent financial reason for contributing to Creative Commons work the way there is for Open Source.

Major companies will contribute some development resources to Open Source software because they will get a concrete benefit and the overall effort will be cheaper than going with a closed source option. There really isn’t the equivalent for Creative Commons media.

My guess is if some companies are willing to have some full time remote positions, they are going to hire from LCOL areas with poor workers rights.

Metal and grunge still happened in a music video era.

I think a bigger thing that happened was the collapse of the CD. From that point, the new acts that the industry seemed to focus on were individuals instead of groups.

England sacrificed a lot for their two world wars and one world cup.

It kind of does.

You get user lock-in as users buy more games, making it so Steam is always a store to buy from. You can’t deplatform from Steam. At that point, you can’t replace Steam with another DRM platform to pay existing games. That creates a large customer base which becomes a must add for vending new games.

It isn’t a hard monopoly, but it helps create a soft monopoly.

There is already a lot of work in generative game design that doesn’t involve AI, including a lot of procedurally generated items. There is also a lot of bad generated designs as the inputs allowed to be changed are not sufficient enough to create enough variance.

Because that kind of federal system doesn’t work well when you run a city.

Any sort of high pressure sales sucks.

Patrick (H) Willems is great movie criticism with plot.

I can’t remember which YouTuber called Real Life Lore the store brand Wendover, but it fits.

Probably as a stripped down bacteria.

While Visa may have done some unethical things to become the monopoly, the industry would have naturally gone that way no matter what.

In this case, there are markets that will naturally push towards a monopoly.
