I think you’ve confused our conversation with the other conversations you are having here. I started talking to you when you responded to the hypothetical question “if there were only X and y candidates as options, which would you vote for”, to which you responded with something along the lines of: “neither, you can say ‘none of the above’, you know?”

I’m refuting that with you, voting neither in that hypothetical situation is not saying "none of the above’ it’s saying 'either of the above '.

I see you’re involved in lots of conversations in this thread, where many people disagree with you on points more directly related to the actual situation in hand, so I can understand if you’ve mixed me up with some other context you have elsewhere, but I really don’t care about your country’s election or your candidates or who wins (I care a little, but I am not directly involved or affected), I’m just disagreeing with the evidently false statement you’ve made above. Hopefully this has cleared up the conversation.

I’m not talking about the narrative you’ve got in your head about what statements you’re making with your actions, I’m also not including what you suppose or predict the result of the vote to be, that’s not logical or helpful…

I’m talking about simple actions and consequences, let me lay this out more simply:

No vote: no change for either candidates chances of success == no preference

A vote for either: a change for both candidates chances of success (slightly improved and slightly decreased) == a preference

I don’t know about all that, I just enjoy logic. I’m replying to you saying “I’d choose not to vote”, that is not the same as saying “none of the above”, it’s the same as saying “any of the above”

You’re not saying “none of these”, as it will ultimately still be one of them, more accurately you’re saying: “I’ll take either equally”

As a person who grew up in Ireland since I was 5: this is funny to me

Thanks, I was quite out of the loop!

What joke did KG make?

I moved to quay.io years ago and have never looked back.

These both sound like valid lifestyles assuming everyone involved is informed and consenting, neither are worse, because neither are bad.

I can’t go to sleep if I don’t set an alarm, due to worrying about oversleeping lol

I got an oral b toothbrush (primary selling point for me, was the pressure sensor that alerts you if you’re pressing too hard against your teeth, I think I paid around €150 for it back then), well over 8 years ago, and it’s still going strong. The battery still easily holds a week’s charge too, which is great for holidays

But the idea of an indicator is to indicate that you will soon turn the steering wheel, not that you’ve already started to turn it.

Yeah, after being cramped up it’s nice to stretch out a bit and SHOW_ME_YOUR_ASSHOLE phrases this nicely.

It’s hilarious to me, that “safety first” is written second

We can easily stop having children then

Aaah thank you, I reread the original post trying to find a point related to a ladder and eventually decided I just didn’t understand what the “ladder point” was referring to, but now I understand them!

Languages are fun :)

I noticed how many of the verbs in English can mean different things depending on what word comes next, e.g.

• Put
• Put down
• Put up
• Put upon
• Put on (wear)

English has so many words that mean the same thing, it’s amazing, astonishing, bewildering and flabbergasting, there was a thief, mugger, robber, bandit… Who stole, robbed, nicked, thieved from me… I don’t know how anyone ever learns all the English words for stuff, I honestly don’t know how I have.

It also made me reflect on how languages are just noises we’ve all agreed to make at each other. The rules try to match the language and fail, not the other way around.

Recently I was also thinking about how interesting it is that some words we use are SO OLD, and we just… use them like it’s no big deal, but if we we’re transported back thousands of years, people were still calling vanilla something very similar to vanilla and arteries something very similar to arteries, and that is super cool to me.

I was essentially certain that this meant: “their face when”

I’m almost certain this is pine, the grain lines are very spaced apart, suggesting it was grown very rapidly too, so probably not a very old table.
