I had my phone in a dream for the first time yesterday! I only used it to call my partner, but it was definitely there.

It's an addiction, plain and simple. If the number isn't going up, they're not happy. They're willing to do anything, hurt anyone, to get their fix.

Potassium.

Good, but Mastodon has been a great option for a long time...

This reduces to "this statement is false"

The rest of the US doesn't deserve California's economy

Everyone here is hilarious thinking they're immune to it.

In that case, they then care primarily about the success of the company. The quality of the product is secondary as long as it sells.

It's worse than not voting. Because of the Spoiler Effect, voting 3rd party actually helps your least favorite major candidate.

Unfortunately, the US's winner-takes-all voting system makes it so that your (entirely reasonable and otherwise simply correct) mindset leads to what's called the Spoiler Effect, where a third party vote actually just ends up helping your least favorites. Because of this, the winner-takes-all system inevitably leads to two dominant parties, and being forced to vote for the shiniest of two turds. To fix this, we just need a different voting system. I'm partial to approval voting, but more likely that'd be ranked choice.
