Yes and the princess is resting on your keys so better not to disturb her.

In Europe, the countries i know of at least, count each vote equally.

What i meant was that it doesn't mean it's a perfect system if your goal is democracy.

Other factors can totally break the purpose of counting votes equally altogether and end up with a unsatisfying result. And my exemple is as such.

(I live in France, we have equally counted vote but with this issue, and some other neighboring countries have it too. If you're interested i can explain more what the issue is...)

(I guess Australia, for the user you were replying to originally, have it's own issues too, not that i'm familiar with them.)

Mathematicians worked on how different suffrage creates different results.

There are plenty like the majority judgement but one that i particularly like is Condorcet's method to solve the problem.

Let's be specific, NOT_RICHARD is that user.

Funny enough, even though the memes are pretty stupid, the discussion on them are interesting.

It's not inherent to representative democracy but let's be honest most systems we use have flaws like that, including Europe.

(An exemple in Europe would be choosing only one individual to vote. Which divide voters of two close candidates and lower both of their score.)

And that's probably why we feel like most representatives democracy can't escape some of thoses problems.

Mathematically though there is some systems that have been proven to not have those same flaws.

Problem is, of course how hard it is to fix a system that can only be changed by the people that it favors.

I do agree that we need more empathy. But that empathy can and should be used to have a better humour.

Because i can't stress enough how humour is important in dealing with tragedy. It's one of the greatest tool to overcome it.

That's why you also see American joking about it. Only their jokes might be funnier than European's because they know and emphasize better with the tragedy.

On the other hand, one thing we do share is trying to change without any or not enough results. That's something most countries know about in this day and age. Media and corrupt system is something European's deals with too.

So i get your anger, it's also good, it's a driving force for us to continue trying to change, however helpless we feel.

Yes saying we can do something about it and do better is stupid. Same here in Europe btw, no one has the power to do anything about media and capitalism fucking us over.

However i still think we can joke about it as a way to communicate our problems and relieve ourselves from the tragic.

(Of course that requires some empathy and a shared humour to overcome our cultural differences.)

So pull the lever and throw yourself on the wheels before they stop?

I barely would call it a fight, but after i'm done he'll never give one for sure.

You're homeless, just buy a house.

You're sick, just stop.

You're sad, just don't.

You're depressed, just be happy.

Duh

Seems to me that cat also really wanted to go out that door with the owner.

That's why i love cats, with them you know they only love what you can do for them.

That's the difference from social capitalism and liberalism i think?

Although in Europe we do tend to go towards the American trend and ruin everything social.

Ho yes you're right, just checked and that was Jeanne Calment.

Yeah but no one of them survived the 116th 122th year.

A fellow hydrohomie

So do you think earth will land on heads or tails?

Yeah that's what i meant, well...

I guess binary is better interpreted as a boolean than being actually written in a binary base.

They forgot what it's like coding in binary i tell you that!

Well yes please, fix us.

Although i doubt we have anything worthy of hand rubbing for them. But hey, at least we're making jobs!

Anyway you put it it's not gonna please non-binary people.

I'll gladly take aliens trying to cure me of an ADHD and depression i don't have if they can also cure us of religions and capitalism.

More importantly you going to therapy and improving yourself the way you described it, that in itself is sincerely the best exemple we can show an alien, ever.
