Personally, I never have my radio on in the car and I near-always back into parking slots.
Independent thinker valuing discussions grounded in reason, not emotions.
Open to reconsider my views in light of good-faith counter-arguments but also willing to defend what’s right, even when it’s unpopular. My goal is to engage in dialogue that seeks truth rather than scoring points.

I don’t know what the vast majority of songs I listen to are about. I have some genetic defect that makes it near impossible to hear lyrics. It all sounds like melody to me.

Do you apply this same logic to Gaza considering their leadership?
I haven’t ever needed to wait. I go in, hand them my ID, they cross my name off the list, hand me the ballot, I go to the booth and write a number, dude stamps it, I drop it to the box and I’m out. Takes about 3 minutes from when I step out of my car untill I’m back in again.

As a non-US citizen, I’m getting the impression that a big number of left-wing voters are voting for Kamala not because she’s so great, but because she’s not Trump. Similarly, a ton of republicans are voting for Trump because they consider it a vote for the party, not for the candidate, and they sure are not going to vote for a democrat because (insert stereotypical grievances about liberals.)
To me, it seem reasonable to assume, that given the chance, there would be a ton of people on both sides that would rather give their vote to almost anyone else but either of these two, but they don’t because they know that a 3rd party can’t win and this would just risk the greater or two evils winning.
Why I referenced the prisoner’s dilemma is because I mostly see this as a coordination problem. What if instead of tactical voting, everyone just voted for the candidate they actually consider the best one? It’s not at all obvious to me that this would still mean that either of the two main candidates would win. This could very well give rise to a 3rd party.
Also, to return to my original point; it doesn’t seem immoral to me to vote for 3rd party even if that causes Trump to win by one vote. You did the right thing, rest of the people didn’t. If everyone acted like you, it seems to be that this would, in fact, lead to him not winning.
say 20% of voters in swing states voted third party, it would let the greater evil in
Not in the case of ranked choice voting. If the 3rd party candidate doesn’t win the vote goes to the number two choice.
Also, sometimes the lesser evil is still evil. Imagine if the vote was between Trump and literal Hitler.
Politically, I’m pretty much right in the middle. The only news source I follow is fairly neutral, with a slight left-wing bias, whereas Lemmy leans heavily to the left. On the other hand, the podcasts I listen to tend to lean more right, so I’d say I get a balanced diet of views from both sides. This probably explains why, on most political topics, I don’t usually have a strong opinion one way or the other. Whether I’m seen as leaning left or right really depends on the group I’m with. On Lemmy, for instance, I’m basically considered far-right.
I think a good measure of whether something is moral is to imagine everyone doing it and consider if it would make the world a better or worse place.
In the U.S., most people probably don’t vote for a third party because they assume no one else will, so they worry their vote will be wasted. It’s a bit of a prisoner’s dilemma: if you vote and no one else does, you lose, but if everyone voted, everyone would benefit.
So, if someone does choose to vote third party, was it the right thing to do? Well, what if every voter acted this way? There’s a good chance the third party could win, and while it’s debatable, it’s reasonable to assume they might be a better choice than the other two.
Ranked-choice voting would solve this issue, by the way.

I have a picture of that moment:
I just keep my radio off and instead listen to the worrying noises from the engine and suspension.
Why does TV need software updates? Mine has software from 2013 and I have never even connected it to the internet. It showed me tv-shows then and it shows me tv-shows now.
Intelligence is defined as the ability to acquire, understand and use knowledge. Self-driving cars, for example, are intelligent and they run by AI too.
That’s a bit loaded question. By AI I assume you’re refering to GenAI/LLMs rather than AI broadly.
I always liked the feudal age, straw roof buildings in AoE2. I almost didn’t want to move to castle age because the appereance of the buildings chage.
