There is a line between “wishing for death” and “inciting violence”. You’re on the wrong side of that line.

The EC votes are cast on the first Tuesday after the second Wednesday in December. (December 17th). They are counted on January 6th.

There’s an interesting possibility.

If Trump strokes out before the EC votes are cast, Vance becomes president.

But, if Trump strokes out after the EC votes are cast, but before they are actually counted in the House, Vance will be properly elected to the vice presidency. No presidential candidate will have 270 votes, so the decision will be made by the House, and the House can only choose from the top 3 candidates based on EC vote count. Harris being the only other candidate to win any EC votes, the House can only choose her. We end up with a Harris/Vance administration.

What is depicted here isn’t even a polygon, let alone a triangle, let alone a right triangle. This is just a line segment. Line AB is the same as line AC. There is no line BC. BC is a single point.

I suppose it could possibly depict a weird cross section of two orthogonal circles in a real and an imaginary plane.

A is drawn in such a way that it resembles a right angle, but it is not labeled as such. The length of the hypotenuse is given as zero. The opposite angle cannot be anything but 0°.

Every now and then, I get a little bit lonely and you’re never coming 'round

That’s actually pretty easy. With CB being 0, C and B are the same point. Angle A, then, is 0, and the other two angles are undefined.

Bees are fish and Fish is practically a vegetable.

That’s a spider orgy.

Get off my lawn, young’n.

Fuck, I’m old.

Tax discounts to lower rent prices only incentivize the worst, most negligent slumlords, in a race to the bottom for housing quality. Rent controls and discounts on taxes for below-market rents exacerbate the major problems with renting.

Jacking up taxes jacks up rental prices.

It does. But, if nobody will be renting; nobody will be paying those jacked up prices. Read my comment again: I am trying to eliminate the concept of renting, and replace it with a much more equitable approach.

I want to replace “renting” with “land contract”.

A land contract is a type of purchase agreement that starts off similar to a rental. They aren’t used very often because they are somewhat complex, and they put a lot of power in the hands of the buyer/tenant rather than the seller/landlord. Land Contracts have a fixed monthly price: there is no year-to-year price hike.

Most importantly, they gain equity for their tenant/buyer.

True. I would only allow the exemption on 1-4 unit properties. I would allow an on-site landlord to rent out the remaining 1-3 units without losing the exemption.

Renting should be a wildly atypical housing arrangement. “Land Contracts” should replace virtually every circumstance where renting currently makes sense.

Rent. Rent needs to die in a fire.

Landlording needs to be less lucrative than a private mortgage or land contract. Jack up the taxes on all residential properties, and grant steep exemptions for owner-occupants only.

Maybe in Britland, but not in any country with civil rights and respectable free speech laws.

The Anarchist Cookbook isn’t isn’t illegal. Hell, the US government publishes TM 31-210, a field manual on improvised munitions that goes a lot further than the Cookbook ever did.

possession and sharing of its instruction manual is being charged as a terrorist offense.

Oi! You got a loisence for that PDF?!?

The US has a felon, fascist, wannabe dictator as one option and he has an honest chance of winning. Then in Germany they are having essentially a resurgence of the Nazi party in AfD and it’s been gaining traction, particularly in eastern states from what I’ve read.

I would argue that both cases are products of echo chambers rather than insufficient moderation.

I mean, those bigots don’t silence themselves when you ban them. They are still talking, just in forums that will ban you for daring to rebut them.

Because censorship creates the echo chambers that allow bigotry to thrive, censorship is a much greater problem than bigotry.

Your objective should not be to convince the bigot. Your objective should be to convince the curious bystander.

If you’re not marching with guillotines at the ready, there is no point in marching at all.

But it’s not a debate. They have no interest in listening to you,

Adam doesn’t debate Bob to convince Bob of Adam’s viewpoint. Adam debates Bob to convince their shared audience: Charlie, David, Edward, Frank, George, Harry…

When Bob is ejected from this forum, Charlie, (et al), never hear that debate and are never convinced of Adam’s views. They aren’t inoculated against Bob’s logic. When they come across Bob uncontested in another forum, they may be persuaded; they fall into his echo chamber. When they bring their half-formed ideas back to your forum, they are banned as apologists rather than debated.

Ejecting Bob makes your forum better. Adam debating Bob makes the world better.
