“I live in California, where the electoral outcome we can take as settled. That fact affords me the luxury to vote my conscience.”

Yeah, literally doesn’t matter who they vote for.

Too late. The deadline was February 13th.

The election is in 27 days, people are already voting. If you aren’t on the ballot by now, you’re not on the ballot.

Last in, First out.

I’m not sure what you mean by “dark patterns” in this context. Isn’t this just marketing?

Is it that the more expensive choice is pre-selected? That the discounted price is likely just the real price and it’s never sold at the higher price? (that one got Saatva in trouble! - https://topclassactions.com/lawsuit-settlements/open-lawsuit-settlements/11-5m-saatva-com-false-advertising-class-action-settlement/)

That still doesn’t get rid of it, it uses it and re-directs it.

"Is there some way I can force Elon Musk to pay $47 to Cards Against Humanity PAC?

Funny you should ask! If you’re a registered voter in PA, GA, NV, AZ, NC, WI, or MI, just type your name into this dumb website for his PAC, put “[email protected]” as your referrer, and they’ll be legally obligated to pay us $47. The more people who do this, the more Musk money we’ll get to un-fuck America.

If he doesn’t pay up, we’ll sue him again."

Removed for civility and tenp banned for blaming a rape victim.

Removed, civility.

If they won’t expand the court, they could do what the House and Senate did to Johnson and that’s shrink the court.

Unfortunately, the only fair way to do it would also remove Brown-Jackson.

“Five, five is a good number. Remove the four most recently added.”

You’d get rid of the Trump court, but also Jackson, and it would still be 3-2 right wing court. Thomas, Alito, Roberts, Kagan, Sotomayor.

More than that, they were doing audience surveys and, my guess is, a lot of their audience told them they didn’t even finish season 1 and had no interest in a season 2.

I liked the first 2 episodes, I thought it had promise, then the 3rd episode absolutely shit the bed.

I hear Ep. 5 was better, I’ll never know because I checked out.

Not sure, I left it.
