Damnit this would’ve been my immediate response, too.

Well, this is actually the easy mode. On hard you see lettuce next to a politician’s face.

Hey OP, here is some serious DD you might like

The Sim X: Terror from the derp. Yeah no Jake, we want a successor to X-COM Apocalypse if you don’t mind.

Dieses ganze Thema ist so ein verficktes Minenfeld und die zunehmend binäre Richtung jeglichen Diskurses, sowohl in den Medien als auch privat, macht eine erkenntnisgewinnende Diskussion nahezu unmöglich. Warum zum Henker ist es nicht möglich, mehrere Wahrheiten zu akzeptieren?

• Die Geschichte des Nahostkonflikts fing nicht am 07.Oktober 2023 an
• Apartheitsstaaten sind Unrechtregimes
• Die Methoden der Hamas sind inakzeptabel
• Die der Israelis genauso
• Es leiden Menschen wie du und ich unter Entscheidungen der Regimes, auf beiden Seiten
• etc. etc.

Dazu kommen noch so viele andere Faktoren, ich denke zum Beispiel, dass das Interesse des Westens an einem “zuverlässigen Verbündeten” in der Region offensichtlich nach wie vor ungebrochen ist. Oder: die Diskussion auf den evangelikanen Aspekt und die Sehnsucht der modernen US-Republikaner auf den “Doomsday” zu lenken ist völlig ausgeschlossen. Leider.

ZL;NG: Alle saugen.

I do not believe asking questions should be labeled as a crisis.

Very sound advice.

Pointing to the ToS / EULA like we are in a fucking South Park episode, LMAO

Sadly I am waaaay too stupid for those. Couldn’t get clingo to move some animals across a river within a certain ruleset :[

Hmm, I’ve only played Stellaris from this company and that game is great. A bit pricey with all the DLC, but the alternative of releasing a new Stellaris every few years probably amounts to the same.
Also, I’d rather play a well fleshed out 8 year old game, than getting a bare boned husk with each iteration - which sadly tends to be the norm for 4x games.

Wake me up when the popover API is in. Might be next version, nice!

Right, I knew I had forgotten something :)

We’re on a run.
Cannabis decriminialized, now abortion legalization (shoutout to our french neighbours for setting the pace!), Deutschlandticket, energy gets decarbonized (yes, former governments made some mistakes there…) and the list goes on.

All that to be killed off because the fucking boomers will vote “conservative” next year, the country is moving too fast for them or some BS, LMAO.

some clinical psychologists or psychiatrists (iirc) gave a pretty decent breakdown of how trump is breaking down mentally.

this one here?

In Germany, we have a word for that: “Leidensdruck” and I think that’s beautiful.

“They thought they were free”…

Tencent only got preference shares AFAIK (i.e. they can’t vote with them).

Pff, just define your own cascade with @layers :)

Best advice I can give: Don’t use CSS directly, use a pre-processor like SASS/SCSS. It really helps keeping things sane and somewhat organized.

I had time to think for a bit. Please be advised that I’m not an American citizen and the following is purely conjecture.
Basically, I believe the US is FUBAR. There are 4 possible scenarios for the 5th of November:

• Trump gets so demented it’s getting impossible to get him propped up, he has to concede somewhere around that time
• Trump finally gets thrown in jail, before election day
• Biden wins - right now it looks like it would be a close call
• Trump wins

The article mentions, as many have before, that the “conservative” way of “thinking” has become purely emotional. So what do you think will happen if either of the three first will come true? Someone will seize the day and shout some bullshit conspiracy or another and now 20-30% of your emotionally driven population will get set to “angry” and “revenge”.
If he simply wins: Mission accomplished!

Now that I’ve thought a bit more, even (maybe especially?) if Biden wins in a landslide, the conspiracy spin could even be made stronger. Yikes. It might be the time of troubles on a very large scale and I reaaaaaaaaaly hope I’m totally wrong with all this!

but municipal and regional elections have miserable turn-outs too

Don’t mind me, just reposting a FPTP video I just saw in another thread on lemmy.
It also heavily discourages voters from participating because they’ve never felt represented, as the two party system is ultimatively a minority rule. So why should they care for local elections held within the same system?

Edit: a word.
