Not The OnionHm. A while back, I suggested that attorneys who represent in court switch roles after every case: Prosecution -> Defense - Prosecution, and so on. That would make attorneys more inclined to want a fair trial, because they know a court that purely favors prosecution will work against them when it is their turn.
In that vein, perhaps the attorneys can give a judge an upvote/downvote after a case is finished, alongside their reasoning for it. This is added to the judge’s dossier. When lawyers for the defense and prosecution are going to court, they could make one of two choices: mutually agreeing on a judge to oversee the case, or just one side preferring a randomly selected judge.
There would be issues with this, but I think it would also make it harder for bad justices to become a fixture. If lawyers consistently agree a justice is shit, that justice would eventually get fired for wasting time and money.
Yet another thing that needs overhauling. I think the solution is simple: while you are in office, you cannot run for a position. Once you have completed a full term, you are barred from running any position for one year. Once that year is up, you may run. This helps weakens incumbency advantage, alongside forcing politicians to do their job instead of splitting their focus.
Sure, it might not be efficient…but as modern capitalism and politics have demonstrated, “efficiency” is a fig leaf to cover corruption. The more important thing is to make it harder for greedy fools to run things.
linuxmemesI am counting two eggs in my case. SteamOS and CachyOS. Honestly, Linux doesn’t need ‘advocates’ like you, because you ignore other people, even when they give context. Seriously, you make Linux look like a religion, not a tool. 😒
I think SteamOS Desktop is what will tip the balance. People want a corporation with a familiar and quality reputation. CachyOS, Bazzite, Fedora, Arch, Red Hat, all are just weird entities that the ordinary person wouldn’t know.
As for myself, I will pick CachyOS or SteamOS, depending on what reviews say when comparing the two. I want flexibility for modding and some other power-casual stuff, but also want documentation and a large community of people familiar with my OS of choice. SteamOS is likely to be that choice, assuming that Valve doesn’t mess up.
World NewsPersonally, I think the R&D times of planes and other mainstream gear takes so long, is because there isn’t genuine necessity. First and foremost, the MiC exists to enrich elite critters - actual defense of the nation is tertiary. The secondary is just to make fancy gear that looks neat for battle glamour, but lacks substance for warfare.
I suspect an actual peer-to-peer war between NATO and Dogey America would result in much faster development time. Also many failures, but necessity would force rethinking on how to produce weapons. I listen to many videos about plane development, and WW2 really stood out in how many fails there were, while the envelope constantly got pushed.
My prediction is that Europe would be much better than America when it comes to transitioning into a true war economy, because they have a less corrupted MiC to get in the way.

I hope that everyone refuses to serve in Hegseth’s Army. He wouldn’t put his life on the line for the troops, even if they happened to be Protestant.
If they are so desperate to die, they can do it by themselves and leave the rest of us out of it.
Just PostI think it would take nothing less than a radical overhaul of society to fix this snowballing of power.

Having it so that individuals can only run a single company within a niche, and capping annual income to an absolute amount would be a very basic start. It would take even more to make such restrictions stick.
Corporations having wealth and asset caps based on their employee headcount & incomes, requiring that leaders have to be annually voted into their positions by their workers, their income voted by said workers, and so on.

Our economics are made out of inherited junk and bubblegum. A clean sheet redesign is needed.
She shouldn’t have held any position at the bar in the first place.
NewsIf there is a civil war, I hope Trump lives long enough to prosecute it. I want my enemies to be wholly incompetent, it would save many innocent lives.
If America has a major revolution, I suspect many of the financial assets would turn out to be smoke and mirrors, rather than something of concrete value.
HistoryPhotosKinda like how Jews tended to be bankers and other financial staff, because other religions refused to handle moneylending. Many hypocrites hated the Jew’s acquisition of wealth, when said hypocrites refused to do the work.
FuturologyHopefully, Europe will offer these alternatives to Americans. I want to be free of MasterVisa’s yoke.
Maybe you can try Adobe through CrossOver Linux’s demo and see if it works? They contribute lots of work towards Wine, but also sell a more ‘hacky’ commercial software that isn’t as strict about how it does stuff.
After switching to Linux, I will try out their software and decide whether to buy a lifetime license.
Comic StripsAlas, the IP is owned by a AAA company. Doomed to languish in the footnotes of history, all because it can’t make all the money. Given TLC, I think Lemmings could have been similar to Worms in longevity.
Depends on whether standalone expansions are considered DLC. “Oh No, More Lemmings!”, and “Holiday Lemmings”. The Holiday packs are 91’, 92’, 93’, and 94’. I think a strategy guide had extra levels too. Also, the assorted ports of Lemmings sometimes had unique levels.
If you love Lemmings, I recommend the fan remake, NeoLemmix. It combines all the levels from every platform into a single game, plus with QOL improvements like rewinding by a step. There are also no duplicate levels for difficulty, so every level is unique. Some of the levels have bonus objectives you can go for, if achievements are your thing.
Eh. As someone who plays MANY games, I can’t say that I agree with the notion of old games being inherently better. The interface, bugginess, or lack of QOL often hamstrings the experience.
IMO, it would be best if old games are remade. Arcanum is a pain in the rear, because the text and images can be small on my monitor, plus crashing if I click too quickly. Technical issues are my #1 killer of games, because it takes the wind out of my sails if I try to get into something.
