This fact alone is so awesome about America. To be fair, I know very little about the UK government. I keep my voting strategy simple: whoever is proposing to get rid of first past the post closely followed by whoever is proposing more bicycle infrastructure. Failing that, whoever I think is going to lose.
There are tools that help you decide how to vote. Waiting until the day comes and searching Joe Biden is hilarious.
Thank you Greta for pointing out what a toxic influence Americans are. They have created disasters everywhere they go. Fuck the British as well.
Something we can thank the Russians for and hackers everywhere.
He’s an interesting character. I don’t agree with a lot of his ideas but they feel like they come from a genuinely altruistic place. The antithesis of maga.
That’s a good point, are voters dumber and more bigoted than your average American?
A significant part of this problem is age. At some point we lose the right to drive because our facilities fail. We never lose the right to vote.
The biggest problem is first past the post. The solution is proportional representation and 16-60 voting age. Only then will you see any meaningful change.
Fully half of Americans are r̶e̶t̶a̶r̶d̶e̶d̶ bigots.
They know the origin of these attacks because the attackers write their programs in Chinese.
There are other creepy parallels to Nazi propaganda techniques, like the flypast and morbid fixation with the death of adherents. The main difference seems to be that trump is less competent and in terminal decline before he achieves his goal. At least Hitler was compos mentis during the lead up to the seizure of power. By the time he completely lost his shit Germany at large was also fucked.
He has been mildly incoherent for a couple of decades. In the past most of his apparent dithering can be attributed to figuring out how to say something repugnant or false without becoming legally liable. As his mind decays this meandering style of speech has become untethered. He can’t remember the complicated web of lies anymore. I wonder how much self awareness he truly has.
We know that we have to reduce pollution and that it presents an existential threat to our children. Why are we still listening to charismatic psychopaths when it comes to matters of science and engineering? He is not remotely equipped to competently answer this question from a technical or ethical point of view.
This vulture and his ilk have had their time, step aside old man.
Also never underestimate American fragility.
First past the post duopolies are not serious democracies.
Google search is still pretty good although definitely not what it was in its ad-free heyday. That you would go to the trouble of complaining about it is incomprehensible, given the plethora of credible alternatives.
Step 1. Make an AI that hoovers up content.
Step 2. When owners of content complain about privacy violations and copyright infringement, allay their fears. This AI is for the Good of Humanity.
Step 3. ???
Step 4. Profit.
Wehrmacht was not a Nazi organisation. Members were free to join the party but they were not under any obligation. The SS was an explicitly Nazi army but completely separate from the Wehrmacht.
German people were compelled to ‘support the troops’ in the same way that Americans are compelled to support their many illegal invasions of sovereign territory. The British continue to build and operate colonial era warships. The main difference is they were on the winning side, lmao, etc.
Around 1kg per month. I buy Lavazza red, it tastes good and strong for £10. 40mg lisdexamfetamine washed down with a quad espresso is a good way to start the day.
Microsoft is cancer but then so much of tech is going that way. We shouldn’t lose sight of small victories, this is a good result. The EU is enforcing more openness and transparency in the sector. These are the type of changes we need.
What does that say about the laws that are created under a system such as this, do we gamely continue to follow the letter of the law?
What about the moose knuckle?
