thank u for talking about Bosun, I don't have the means to keep a pet right now due to *financial hell and rent skyrocketing* but I'm happy to hear about her :')

Of course, I do not shut up about my cat lol. I hope you're able to get a pet someday! In the meantime, here's Bosun doing one of her 'girl at a slumber party' sits.

the electoral college is the actual way presidents get voted in, not true democracy or peoples vote. while the general public votes, the electoral college hase a certain number of people allocated for a state. the ec counts the votes, so if 80% of ppl vote for 1 person, 80% if the college vote for them, and 20% for the other. problem is, the number of voters in the college is defined by the population of a state ie certain states have more voting power, which makes it uneven and antiethical. 1

This means that if a democratic state has less voting representatives, they have less votes out of the 538 representatives in the college. the election is decided by having majority (270 or more) of those votes. that means if you focus your votes on these swing states, you can easily sway the election regardless of what the popular vote is. it basically divides america into a smaller group of what voters actually matter based on a set of arbitrary rules defined 200+ years ago.

its fun math and logic to do, and interesting in theory, but it introduces the concepts of dummy votes which have no effect in the actual election, players that have all the voting power regardless of the other votes, and faithless voters, who act outside of the rules and sabotage the votes. this makes it largely inaccurate to the actual desires of the majority of laymen in the united states.

in an increasingly fascist state and aggressive alt right environment where stacked cabinets are already shooting us in our feet, you can see why the electoral college isnt. great. there are better explanations out there, and if im inaccurate on how it works, its my bad, but a lot o americans probably have less of an idea about how it works than i do, too. all in all, its very convoluted. for mathermatical theory, check out apportionment, and ethical debate is widely out there to research too

Oh damn I wasn’t expecting this kind of answer thank you so much!! That’s such a weird way of electing people, not that there’s any actually decent system out there, but that’s just wild. I have a high school level qualification in understanding UK politics but the US is so different and makes even less sense than over here 😬

hey uh, forgive me for just poppin in out of nowhere, but i say your post on reasons to play city of love, but it seems like more than 4 people are romanceable? ive been playing for a while and wanted to romance leo but now im unsure if i can, so can you tell me who is and isnt romanceable?

it’s okay! in season 1, although you can “hang out” and get cgs from everyone, you can only end the season with four characters: louise, kat, tj, or raphael.

in season 2, they let you end the game with any of the characters! so you can endgame w/ leo and get a cute confession scene w him :--)
