I don't think this is correct. Consider what you see from using sh -c -- 'var="a " && printf "%s\n" "${var}"-z'
If "${var}"-z resulted in two arguments instead of one, I'd see "a" and "-z" on different lines, but I see them on the same line, which means they are treated as a single argument.
Reality is the matter we act upon, using energy.
I believe it is your responsibility to properly use energy you control. Moreover, you will always have excess energy that you need to dispose of somehow (living things need to collect more energy than is absolutely required, or they risk death).
Note that a collection of energy that is expended improperly is called a "bomb".
Are there ways to have political experience without holding an office position?
If the only way to have political experience is holding an office position, there will come a time when the only people you can vote for are dudes with no political experience: eventually some council member or city mayor will die and nobody with "actual experience" will campaign.
Do you just not apply this metric to local offices, or to people who have held a local office position?
This is the full first paragraph (it expresses that Donald Trump spent $750 million not $7):
Kamala Harris spent over $1.2 billion on a failed campaign, and the Democrat Party now owes $20 million. After PACs and other funds are added up, it will potentially come to over $2 billion spent. Donald Trump spent $750 million.
To be fair, some people might say "Yes, I voted for Donald J. Trump".
Trump actually had some political experience before 2015 though: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Political_career_of_Donald_Trump#1988_presidential_election

I suppose this was because of a ban, which I don't see from the "modlog" page for the community or the post: https://lemm.ee/modlog?page=1&actionType=All&userId=17647322
The original comment was something like "Nobody voted against ranked choice voting".
Was a comment actually "Removed by mod"? I don't see any record of that:

Giving support to Israel is one example that some people would likely provide. I would like to see as few war crimes as possible, and I'm not certain that Israel isn't committing any (to put things very lightly).
They might be trying to express that the Matrix protocol makes it easier for Israel to spy on someone using it. That idea came up somewhat often about 2 years ago, but I don't know many relevant facts. It's also common for people to say that the CIA and Israel cooperate, so that might be the connection to the CIA.
As for Signal, I am greatly annoyed that Signal requires your phone number for registration. Some people justify the centralization of Signal by saying that using a centralized network means that everyone using the network is using the same (good) security practices, and I've been told that the developers for Signal periodically express that they're trying to remove that requirement, but I still try to avoid using Signal (or any networks that I can't access without involving a phone number). The lack of progress on removing the requirement of your phone number from Signal (and the lack of information on where any centralized infrastructure is located) invites ideas about conspiring with the CIA.
Despite any uncertainty or discomfort, I defer to https://www.privacyguides.org/en/real-time-communication/ and https://soatok.blog/2024/07/31/what-does-it-mean-to-be-a-signal-competitor/ to determine what methods of communication might be suitable for me to use.
