because severance covers the WARN period


Was amused to realize this depends on initial window size. My monitor is so large it was impossible to hit each other, even at 100% power and optimal angle.


OTOH, on a smartphone in portrait (vertical) mode, aiming straight and going full power is an easy win on the first shot.


Yeah, I kinda droped the ball there


You know that your vote doesn't matter in large-scale elections. Being a busy person, you don't go out of your way to vote. When discussing an election with a friend, you mention you didn't vote. Your friend and others in the group socially ostracize you. You don't understand why, but after a few times you just say that you voted. In all future elections, you leave work early and indicate to your friends that you voted. You know your vote doesn't matter, but you also know expressing that sentiment has no benefit. You secretly wonder if the pressure to vote is a social norm engineered by one side. After some time, you hear a new friend indicate they did not vote. You publicly scorn them, for the social benefits.


Does your vote not matter? I agree in most cases your vote won't change the result.

But, it does act as a signal. Also, not voting puts you in the group of people politicians don't need to care about.

I didn't say you didn't. I was trying to show what would happen if you didn't vote and therefore why your vote matters.
