Typefaces cannot be protected by copyright in the US, but by some stupid interpretation, fonts are software, which is protected. Really annoying how tech-illiterate judges can screw up something this obvious. Even if the technical implementation of a font was something that should be protected IP, it should be under patent law, not copyright.

That's how you play the game. Your other choices are being a piece on the board, or violence.

Sure, just dilute your power even more.

Run on a third party ticket when you have the numbers to win an election, until then organize a group, and trade support for concessions.

Nobody in power gives a crap about a protest vote, If you spend that time protesting elsewhere you'll make a bigger impact.

While voting, the only votes that matter are for the 2 leading parties. A third party vote is equivalent to not voting. Outside of the voting booth, there's more you can do to push what you actually want. Doing stuff other than voting doesn't mean you have to completely waste your vote too.

Who took away our option to vote to make things better?

The first past the post election system did.

If you want things to get better in elections, you need to get rid of primaries. Instead implement a voting scheme where you aren't punished for ranking your desires honestly.

In the current system, the only votes that matter are the ones for the two leading candidates. Any other vote is equivalent to not voting.

I'm also annoyed by PWM artifacts on taillights.

You can scan a document to PDF, sometimes the default orientation isn't correct.

I put it on full power until part of it starts boiling, then reduce power to low until it's heated through.
