Did everybody get this as a maths problem nearly every year in primary school, and again in high school when triangle numbers were brought up?

It’s not a bug, it’s a feature. Perfect representation would actually by sortition (selection of public office by jury duty type random selection), but that scares people because “I don’t want just anybody to be in power” but that doesn’t stop people who should from getting it

Congratulations nzmaa, you won. You’re going to live in my mind 24/7 for the next four years.

• the democrats support unions
• the democrats support breaking up monopolies

Now you’re not going to believe this, ladies and gentlemen, there was a time - not too longer ago in fact - where people called these metacrawlers, and they were beloved. People would say “Dogpile” yes, that might help, because - bare with me again - search was shit. But, comparing lot of different shit sources would generally give you ok information, and generally reveal at least a lot of different sources which could help find and gather information.
