  • Yeah, I heard some slogans at one point and I thought “That’s sounds pretty nice, let’s check her out”. I then watched a single interview with her and I was thoroughly disappointed. No plan, no knowledge about the problem, no idea about common solutions. Not even just answering with a politician segue into a prepared statement either, just a train wreck.

    I think the green party might go somewhere, just not under Jill Stein.




  • Jill Stein has some good ideas but her party needs to spend some quality time working on a very narrow set of counties/states they’re strongest in.

    I think there will be some appetite in the electorate for an anti-establishment, voter-reform, anti-corruption left party. The US sorely needs a nice set of representatives that bring forward fresh ideas and criticism to the parliament.

    The strategy for third parties should always be to get some seats and then hope for a hung parliament to get one or two policies adjusted and voter reform as a coalition agreement.



  • As a sidenote here I have a different issue where handing people your CC info is basically handing out the private keys to your bank account to a third party.

    I’d really like it if a credit card would use a public key system where you can verify that I have the funds and that the payment originates from the payment provider instead of getting my full CC details. I don’t really see why it’s necessary for a business to know who I am instead of just getting a green light from Mastercard or Visa to make the payment.


  • I feel like the show is pretty transparent about it not being realistic in it’s problem solving. It focus a lot on acceptance of another person’s traits as a solution to differences.

    Avatar is better and more fleshed out but Steven Universe is also really good. One of the best aspects of the show is that the world slowly becomes more complex and nuanced because Steven is actually growing up and as a viewer you’re being shown it from his eyes.

    This show was very relaxing and after watching it I just felt nice. It wasn’t as good, exciting or developed as avatar but I still felt that after I had enjoyed my time more.

    Lovely show
