Using the formula as written, anyone aged 40-49 would have a vote weighted at 85%. You’d have to make it to 210 years old to reach 0%.

From an Australian perspective, my proposal is:

• Eligible to vote at 16.
• Compulsory voting at 18.
• A citizen’s vote has a weight of 100% until 20, then drops 5% at each birthday that ends with a 0.

The reason for the diminishing weight of a vote is to correlate with the diminished exposure political decisions will have on the citizen.

Advertising needs to become as socially acceptable as smoking.

It indiscriminately pollutes the environments it’s projected in to, and causes secondary harms to non-participants by incentivising the mass hoarding of personal information which is uneconomical to appropriately secure.

It’s a Euthanasia Coaster where the cars are 802.3 frames.

I see it just gets incorporated into their business model.

I’d argue it would meaningfully suppress the incentive for planned obsolescence for good faith manufacturers, and it opens up repurposing of equipment from less reputable entities.

I’d like to see a requirement that products and devices which have been deemed by their manufacturer to be end of sale/support/repair/life are required to be unlocked, with technical schematics and repair documentation made freely available, upon request of the owner.

I’d go one further and remove a corporation’s status of personhood.

An immortal, amoral, artificial entity should never have been granted parity status with people in our society.

This perspective betrays a complete lack of understanding and experience of being chronically suicidal. Inflicting the responsibility of how others conduct themselves on someone, particularly one in a vulnerable state, is beyond repugnant.

The only effective mechanism for prevention of chronic suicidality is to create an environment in which one can actively, freely, and legitimately choose to participate when they’re at their most vulnerable.

Still showing my end, maybe it’s their new placeholder page for maintenance?

Also, what’s johntucker.jpg a reference to?

I see the bible as basically schizophrenic, Bronze Age, fan fiction.

It serves a purpose, but it’s unsuitable as the foundation of one’s world view, or to defer one’s morality to.
