@SLC_Repayment Have just received an email demanding I update my employment details online, but I'm unable to do this as the website is refusing to load properly. Tried calling you but I just get an automated voice telling me to use the broken website. Please advise.
@thewheatgerm I noticed that when Ben got caught on the train, the chasers were required to stay on the moving train until the jail period ended, rather than having to get off at the next stop like in Germany in S3. Was there a specific reason for this rule change?
(Full disclosure: I personally still think a national popular vote would be a better idea overall. What I've proposed here is a compromise solution that recognises that the EC, as it exists today, does not meaningfully achieve what *its own proponents* want it to.)
Apparently there's Electoral College discourse right now, in which half the people argue that it's disproportionate and should be abolished, while the other half say that the presidency shouldn't be chosen by a handful of large cities. Here is my take:
This retains the boost to small-state power that proponents of the Electoral College argue is important, while also making the presidency representative of the entire country, and making sure that Dem voters in WY and GOP voters in CA actually have a meaningful say.
@DarrellisWright@hankgreen (this is a problem with all social platforms to various extents, but Musk appears much more willing than other execs to make random drastic changes with very little warning or consultation, and essentially nobody has the power to tell him if and when he is wrong)
@DarrellisWright@hankgreen ultimately whether you agree with Elon's ideas or not, it's probably not ideal that he wields a whole lot of power over how huge numbers of people communicate, without actually being accountable to those people in any way

okay hot takes on this map as someone who just finished running a simulated game of almost exactly this
1. hoo boy this is really obviously not symmetrical - not sure why they didn't make the NE endpoint Breclav or something instead to even it out?
5. i need them to stop advertising this game as 72 hours as though the rest period *after the game ends* counts towards the time
anyway, really looking forward to the show! (in spite of having just complained repeatedly about it)
