winner-take-all vote

A quick definition of winner-take-all vote:

A winner-take-all vote is when the person who gets the most votes wins everything. This means that if you don't vote for the winner, your vote doesn't count. It's like a race where the first person to cross the finish line wins, and everyone else gets nothing. It's different from other types of voting where your vote can still count even if the person you voted for doesn't win.

A more thorough explanation:

A winner-take-all vote is an election in which the candidate who receives the majority or plurality of votes wins all the seats or representation. For example, in a winner-take-all system, if a candidate wins 51% of the votes, they win 100% of the representation. This system is used in some countries, including the United States, for presidential elections and some state elections.

For instance, in the United States, the winner-take-all system is used in the Electoral College, where the candidate who wins the majority of votes in a state wins all of that state's electoral votes. This means that even if a candidate wins by a small margin, they receive all of the state's electoral votes.

No, not some of the time. I never do that. I never even have sex with women these days. 4 years of waiting so far.

She seems depressed. Started watching my story on instagram more. Here videos aren't getting a lot of views on YouTube. I offered her a job doing architecture for celebrity houses back in June but she turned it down. Probably regrets it now. Haven't spoken to her since she got arrested.

Idk, but if you like him, I hope you get him. The odds are not 0 that you run into him and get a chance with him if you like him.

It's cus i network well. I was in Citrin over in Santa Monica having dinner when this couple walked in and they were Icelandic and I had that Nordic connection to them so we chatted it up and then the Sommelier there was a long time friend of my family's and I found out these guys were like celebrity architects and I was all oh, I know this chick who is an architect who has like 1M tiktok followers and needs to rebrand and they were all oh, cool we would love to meet and hire her after learning she went to UCLA but then she just was like nah, I feel like failing for the next 6 months.

I give creatively inclined people a little more leeway with their behavior bc at least they’re interesting. I hate when someone is boring

Maybe. I wish they knew how to channel their creativity better. I feel I am a creative person too but I feel I know how to channel it into the drinks I make. She had some autistic savant gifts. Could draw/paint the most amazing shit.

This is like the most artsy restaurant I have ever been to. It was a total rip off but I will never have an experience like that again for at least a year.
hey all I think I must have asked this question here almost thrice and forgot to check but how do I see the stats to figure out if someone who applied in mid october to NYU but missed both waves so far still has a chance of getting in?
1:13
everyone literally needs to chill
1:13
just bc you missed 2 waves doesnt mean ur cooked. some people dont find out for 10 weeks
1:14
even 16 weeks ive seen
thats far more reassuring than all the reddit posts on this. Saw several posts saying im cooked at the end of the first wave
if i don't get a gulc decision end of this week im actually gonna crash out so bad
evil bunny aint got nothing on me

@jackfrost11770: man but more arcane comes out on the 23rd. Gotta watch that first. I hope crash out does not mean suicide.
Dkk
