Anything news or from twitter is negative. I honestly do no see Twitter as anything else but a pleague on human mind, at least what makes it from there to Reddit. Social commentary oversexualizing everything also made it in the cringe / sad categories.

Feel good were almost all animals showing unconditional love.

good point, thanks. Done

>It's complicated

It takes a few minutes to explain to people, but ranked choice voting solves the demonstrated problem of the spoiler effect. This justifies the ever so slight increase in complexity. If the average American voter cannot rank their favorite three things from most favorite to least favorite, democracy is in trouble.

For example, if someone had preferred Ross Perot back in the day but would have chosen George H.W. Bush over Bill Clinton, then Bush would have won, not Clinton, which reflected the majority of the people's will back then.

>encourages back room deals between "opposing" candidates

I'm not sure what you mean by this. Please explain how you think ranked choice voting incentivises collusion.

>hard to tabulate

I could write a program to implement the basics of ranked choice voting, instant runoff voting in a day of work. Over 99% of ballots today are counted electronically so don't worry about hand counted ballots. Also, ranked choice voting can save money in the voting process by avoiding the need for runoff elections.

>encourages gamesmanship by voting blocks

Again not sure what you mean or why this would be encouraged by ranked choice voting more than first-past-the-post.

>enables more fringe candidates to win elections

On the contrary, ranked choice voting incentivizes politicians to have more mainstream policies. Getting people's first vote would be the ideal for a candidate, but if they can get the voters' second or third votes where other candidates cannot, that can win the election for the candidate. So the candidate is incentivized to find common ground with voters who wouldn't have voted for them otherwise.

>easy to corrupt it

I don't see how, please explain.

The only organized opposition to ranked choice voting that I have seen is by politicians who have only gotten into power because people held their nose and voted for them. Ranked choice voting is a threat to their power and their careers because it forces political candidates to reflect the will of the people.

Probably the worst data visualization I’ve ever seen

Ranked choice voting is so bad for so many reasons. It's complicated, encourages back room deals between "opposing" candidates that aren't disclosed to voters, is hard to tabulate and is unpredictable, encourages gamesmanship by voting blocks, and enables more fringe candidates to win elections. It's so easy to corrupt it. This is a bad trend.

China figured out how to take a capitalistic approach in a communistic government.

Grammy's are a joke and Beyonce sucks.

I have no idea who any of the people on there are, I only really know who beyonace is because people say her name. No clue what she or anyone on this list has done.

Covid impact is not uniform and it is absolutely a bigger factor than brexit the last few years. It’s not even up for debate tbh.

Some more detail if you're interested.

It goes back to 1941 because that's the first city I could find that implemented ranked choice voting in the US that has kept it till present: Cambridge Massachusetts. The big jump a bit before 2020 was when New York City adopted Ranked Choice voting.

I'd like to add some detail to show which states it was implemented in but couldn't figure it out in the time I had.

I apologize that it's a bit ugly, the Google Sheets timeline chart is not very customizeable and my Gimp skills are only OK. However, I have heard that Ranked Choice is growing in popularity as a voting method in the US so I wanted to see the trend for myself but couldn't find anything graphing this trend, so I made it.

I’d totally use it

I know!!! 😊👍🏽👌🏽

Oh for sure. I wasn't trying to detract but add.

I know, that's my point, the Grammy Committee (or whatever it's called) doesn't seem to know there are a lot of really good musicians out there other than the usual gang and especially more than just Beyoncé. The back-patting has grown exponentially since around 40 -30 years ago.

So I’m not a music person at all really but is it bad only literally don’t know anyone on this list except Beyoncé?

The Forecasters Hall of Fame has no members.

Look at their ages, you can’t tell me it’s not rigged

100 really isn't as big as you'd think. My brother has kept over 30 as a small, part-time hobby in a space no larger than an average living room, and it's consumed very little of his time. I could see an individual keeping 100 with a yard and just a little more time

how did you measure this?

No doubt a key could be helpful, yes.

Who the hell are the other 4?

Birds the some people keep as egg laying “pets” are also considered non-poultry by WOAH. Also considered backyard flocks, those birds do not have trade implications for commercial livestock, so they do not rise to the poultry status.
