  • Anyone else confused about how these bombs are actually detonating? Articles say they are detonating via a text message sent 3x in error, theoretically causing either a spark or a “closed circuit” like a different article explained. The article (from al jazeera) says they have to look at the message but there’s video of one igniting in a bag.

    I’m curious because I think these pagers may actually constitute a public safety risk, similar to how heavily landmined areas risk exploding even decades later on someone unrelated to the initial conflict.









  • Lmfao that’s NOT the original argument. Look again. The original argument is mine, the parent comment. Saying Dems should always be bringing up approval choice voting.

    Democrats should combat this by advocating for ranked choice or approval choice voting which is a fairer voting system and won’t allow for “spoilers”

    The other commenter then unraveled in their efforts to lick Democrat boots by saying it was simultaneously wanted by “most Dems” in legislation, while being too complicated for the average Dem voter base. Go read again. Notice how I never specified Dem voters or Dem politicians? That was on purpose. I meant the whole party, both voters and candidates. That’s why the 1 bill isn’t refuting my point and it’s why the other person gave up.

    Then they posted 1 Dem’s bill, saying it was by ‘some of the most senior Dems,’ and saying ‘most Dems would support it,’ then also got upset I suggested we talk about it more. Btw paraphrasing/summarizing isn’t a strawman lol.

    1bill being introduced a few times was never the debate. It was never the original issue. Read again, kiddo

    For the record, if you agree then you are only doing this to be abusive. You’re delivering this abusively. You could choose to ‘yes, and.’ You seem to enjoy abusing the only openly woman commenter here. Creepy of you.

    You straight up sound like someone who would get posted on r/iamverysmart.

    Projection on your part. I have never cared about my ego and “appearing smart.” But you’ve brought it up a bit. For no reason except your own embarrassing hubris
