It's the same in the UK. I live in Australia, having moved from Ireland and living in the UK. It blows their mind when I talk about PR, yet we have it here in the Senate.

Not voting or voting third party is letting other people decide.

Biden is a bad candidate. He's too old and supports genocide in Palestine.

Trump is not fit for office. He's too ols. He's mentally deranged. He supports genocide in Palestine, fascism in USA, NATO being at war with Russia etc etc.

Voting least bad is a poor choice to make but there is a very clear answer.

I feel sorry for her, as it's not a black and white case of inappropriate behavior.

Remember Hezbollah is not hamas. Lebanon is a different country.

Yes, but look at bud light. Boycotts can be hugely damaging. If people start boycotting Intel, Dell HP and other suppliers will happily offer amd instead. Similarly, companies with policies of not buying from suppliers with slave labour or supporting genocide may decide Intel falls in that category now. They do it as a PR exercise but ultimately it's consumer sentiment that drives it.

Intel will need to decide if the sweetener is worth the risk. From war interrupting supply. From boycotts. From brand damage.

Or they are worried that Intel will pull out due to risk of consumer boycott and want to push the deal through.

Her taxes directly support the war. It's not as easy as people are good and bad. Good people can be in bad situations. Sanctions are supposed to hurt all people. That's how they work. It's seen as a lesser evil, rather than a good. They are damaging for both sides.

I still miss the fingerprint reader on the back of the Nexus 5x. And CyanogenMod added the ability to swipe it to see notification shade which was great.

The position is just a natural place to place your finger when holding a phone so the unlock was more automatic rather than a deliberate action being required.

The whole gran Turismo album is great.

I thought paying staff properly was the cool hipster thing to do? Not wage theft and fines.

Personally, I boycott. It's much easier to boycott companies with terrible overpriced products.

Yes, if you know about that community. However, by browsing the all feeds of multiple instances, you come across communities you weren’t aware of and can subscribe to on any of the instances you have an account on. Assuming, of course, they all federate.

The problem with blocking a community is if you block the one that eventually takes off, you miss out. I am just accepting it for now and assume it will sort itself out.

Another option would be to upvote one and downvote the other, to help speed the process up.
