SkyeStarfall , to xkcd in xkxd #2860: Decay Modes

The skull presumably represents the finality of such a decay, given that the end stage of human decay leaves behind a skeleton, something that does not exist in nucleons. [citation needed]

SkyeStarfall , to Work Reform in Simple, right?

If working from home was standard, there’d be less need for offices, and less, smaller, offices would exist. Leading to less energy wasted in heating offices (as well as .kre space for residential).

SkyeStarfall , to LinkedinLunatics in How about no

For white collar jobs that is pretty much true. With a few exceptions, I cannot force more than that out of myself and still feel fine afterwards.

SkyeStarfall , to Politics in Bernie Sanders urges left to back Biden to stop ‘very dangerous’ Trump

I’ve tried basically everything under the sun with ly parents and family. Including variations of this.

It doesn’t work.

If someone is as set in their ways and conspiracies and worldview. There’s no getting them out if it, if they don’t already want to. They just come up with whatever counterargument or idea that makes sense to them or supports them. Real or imagined. Facts and reality literally don’t matter.

About the only thing left I’m gonna end up trying to do is to effectively give them a form of ideological shock, which may end up just shattering their worldview. Not exactly intentional, mind you, but just by living my own life. Maybe having their child be something they’re supposed to hate will shake up their foundational beliefs enough to question things.

…or it may not. Probably the more likely answer.

It seriously gives some really bad incentives.

Yes, voting for Biden is better… But it also very much allows the Democrats to abuse the situation and put whoever they want on there. Because the alternative will always be worse. And so you’re destined to always having an acceptable president, but never a great one that people really want.

We have a parliament here and, yeah, it’s so much better in basically every way. I can actually vote for what I want and not have to worry that it’s not strategic. Because I’m the end it will just empower the party and thus give them more negotiating power.

If up is defined as the other way to mars’ centre, as it is on earth, then mars would be somewhere in the top left direction in the comic.
