The effect of voting is to shift polices half a voter on average from the median in your direction, and that's a real positive impact. It doesn't make all of your favourite policies come true (which can feel like it not working) because a bunch of other voters genuinely don't like your policies, which is obviously mistaken/terrible of them but it is what it is

One way small donors can easily beat billionaires on marginal utility is that Open Philanthropy splits its donations across many fields, but as a small donor you can just focus on the single most impactful one

@rip_imho we need fifty metrics, I support whatever they were on during the French revolution

🤔 I wonder if there's mastodon tumblr, character limits are silly and just stolen to be like Twitter imo, macroblogging that's also social media feels more like what I want from the internet

and if so is there some way I can move there and still have it interoperate with shelling.pt so I can talk to my friends there too

Wow! That's so fungus of you
