If we're gonna do the arrows thing we should at least use a meaningful 2D plane for the vector. Let the X-axis represent the left/right shift but use the Y-axis to represent overall turnout in each district.

I hate how realistic the notion of enduring psychic damage as currency is, especially with the guy's attitude towards crypto.

What constitutes a terrorist organization is up to the electric officials and police organizations to define.

That's kind of the point, mate. In the current political climate I half expect them to start describing any organization giving humanitarian aid to Palestinians as terrorists.

But to ask the real questions: is providing material support to terrorists not already a crime in Sweden? Does having a Swedish criminal record not complicate eg visa renewals and make it harder for someone to stay in or return to the country? Assuming that's the case, why is this something that needs to be specially handled now? Is this actually a problem, or just a way to stoke racism and fear for political benefit?

Looks like she lost despite the polls legitimately being pretty left-biased this year. Even when it's right the hallucination machine is still wrong.

Most likely. Backing out of international obligations and supporting fellow authoritarians seem to be pretty consistent aspects of what passes for MAGA ideology.

I mean, I don't think that there's the same kind of preexisting social/political/economic infrastructure to support that kind of terrorism on the left as the militia movement on the right, which I think is going to be what prevents things from devolving into outright violence.

I mean, I don't think it was unreasonable to expect liberals to show up against someone who's sole policy proposals were mass deportations and political reprisals, and so I can understand the logic of focusing on the center (which in US politics means center-right).

But this being the democratic party, they also couldn't commit to an actual narrative to make that play. Rather than "look at their ties to Big Tech!" or even sticking with "look how weird these people are!" they had to go hat-in-hand and stake themselves to divisive (to say nothing of abhorrent) policies because that's the only connection they could try to make. I think we're seeing a major problem with the whole "big tent" concept.

I fully expect they are, even as I also hope they're not.

I mean, if there exists sufficiently motivated opposition I'm given to understand that guns and improvised explosives aren't broadly limited by cost. The fact that the market is failing to correct (or more accurately, the human costs aren't impacting the finances) might end up being further motivation for more kinetic action.

I sincerely hope I'm wrong about this line of thought.

I think I'm more angry than anything. l hadn't realized how tight my media bubble had gotten and was pretty sure this wasn't realistic. I had gotten myself ready for another round of 2020 nonsense and denial, not this.

These are actually two slightly different options. Mouse sensitivity is how far the cursor or camera moves based on how far the mouse moves. More sensitivity means that the camera moves more if you move the mouse the same distance.

Mouse acceleration tracks how fast the mouse moves over that distance and extends the amount the camera or cursor moves if it moves faster or decreases it if it moves slower. In some cases this can feel more natural, but in others it can make it harder to be both fast and precise in your movements, since moving faster can make you overshoot compared to making the same movement more slowly.
