I'd say you're the confused one. None of what I said contradicts anything in your response, and nothing in your response addresses any of the questions I asked. I can only assume that's because the answer is obvious and you don't want to acknowledge it.

Pretty sure this guy wasn't staying up at night wondering if he would be able to afford his higher insurance rate.
How does who you vote for in the presidential election promote RCV? How does it reduce genocide? The action you promote advances neither goal. I will grant that if you're in a secure state, your vote will have little chance to affect the presidential election, but it also won't serve as a wakeup call to the winners of the election that FPTP needs to go.
Hungary is no longer listed as a member of the IDU. There appears to be no press release about that change. Whatever the reason, this puts a spotlight on their motives or competence.
Land of the free and all that. Free from paid healthcare, a decent public education, a strong voice in government, an impartial justice system, employee rights... With all this freedom, it's hard to imagine wanting to be anywhere else.
I'm pretty sure you can't live to retirement eating boiled steak and kidney pie. Remember, even fish and chips is an imported food. Their national beverage comes from halfway across the world. I'm pretty sure the only reason the British did so much conquering is because anything was better than staying home. And, of course, eating any of these things doesn't preclude you from being a bigot. Bigots aren't often known for their critical thinking skills.
It has been know for at least a decade, I think, that the GSM chip could still contact cell towers while the phone was powered off. I'm sure its successor hasn't lost that capability.
The picture's been updated, I guess they realized their mistake.
I stumbled across this link on .world one time, and your comment made me think of it. Hopefully it's entertaining if nothing else.
From a lot of what I've seen, strong literalism and very little intuition is a pretty common trait with autism. You have a picture with a bunch of people at the beach, we'll, you have a bunch of people at the beach. The lifeguard isn't on vacation, some people could be there on a day trip, so why would you say vacation. Take the same picture, add a sign that says "Beachside Resort" and you might be more likely to say vacation.
I think this ties into how people with autism respond to open-ended and closed questions. What's 2+2? Well, 4, obviously. What's your favorite color? Shouldn't be too hard. What's the best color? Now it gets confusing. If I'm hunting, neon orange is great. If I'm painting the outside of my house, probably not neon orange. I probably want a different color than either of those for my bedroom, my clothes, my car. And now you've been staring at the evaluator for 30 seconds like they just asked you the meaning of life and how that is going to direct your goals for the next 20 years, when what a more neurotypical person would say is, "Blue, because it brings out my eyes."
So if you look at those questions in that context, they may be very helpful for the evaluator to make a diagnosis, simply because there is no obvious answer.
I don't even like sweet potatoes but like that there's enough salty/sharp stuff
I like sweet potatoes, but I get you. I don't understand this thing where people add marshmallows. It's already sweet! Now, bake a sweet potato, mash it, and add a little bit of salt and some hot sauce to preference, that definitely works for me.
I don't think it even makes a point, but it will salve their conscience, allowing them to firmly believe they stood against genocide while actually doing nothing more than this token gesture that at best has no impact on anything.
