  • This sounds very much like the German electoral system, except in the German system your address and your preferred "group" are relevant. You get two votes, one is for a local representative, the other is just for a party (so you could freely vote for the "gamer" party if it existed), and both votes contribute seats to government.

  • Leftists practice tolerance but they're not really willing to go as far as actually compassion, empathy, and mercy.

    Are there specific leftist philosophies that imply this? Or is this a bad faith generalisation?

  • I believe that the vast majority of people are inherently good, and that tribalism and political divisiveness are some of the biggest issues we have to face.

    Political differences arise mostly from different values, fears, education (or lack thereof), etc, but most people if you get to know them believe what they do because they believe it is genuinely good. But increasingly politics is focused on vilifying others, instead of trying to understand each other.

  • And what exactly are my opinions which are "vibe based"? The only opinions I have stated in this thread is that users are sharing blatant propaganda (one example of which you agreed with), and that I don't see a reason why any non-bot would willingly spread propaganda.

    The links you sent don't have anything to do with what I've stated. It seems like you are trying to show me that Zelensky deserves to be hung, but this is irrelevant to my statement that claiming "he will be hung by his countrymen" is propaganda.

    For example I might have sources as to why I think Putin should be hung, but if I went around saying that Putin will be hung by his countrymen it would be implying that he is hated by Russians, which is an outright lie and propaganda.

  • I'm not sure why you are misconstruing my message, I said explicitly that criticising Zelenksy is not propaganda. Once again, propaganda is when you blatantly ignore reality in an attempt to give Zelenksy (or anyone) a "bad rap".

    Implying that Zelenksy has little support from Ukrainians by claiming he will be hung by his countrymen is blatantly ignoring the statistical truth that a good majority of Ukrainians support him.

    Stating that Zelenksy is the sole reason for Ukraine's destruction is blatantly ignoring the historical truth that Russia invaded Ukraine.

    Please explain to me how these are "vibe based"

  • I did not even reply to you, I replied to another comment which has been since deleted, and was referring to comments across this whole comment section. (Eg: "when his countrymen hang him", or "this scumbag is responsible for destroying the country")

    Spamming russian bot

    You can check my comment history, I am fairly sure that is the first time I have ever referred to a user as a Russian bot. Hardly spamming.

    I disagree with your original comment mostly because of the phrasing, because I think it implies that the only reason for Ukraine to be fighting was for NATO membership (as opposed to defending their home from invaders) but your clarification about Ukraine being stuck between two evils I can agree with, or at least find reasonable.

    Edit: added examples above

  • I can't prove any user are bots, though that is my opinion because I can't comprehend any other reason for their behaviour. And the blind propaganda is all the messages framing Zelensky as the cause of Ukraine's destruction while willfully ignoring Russia's huge involvement, or comments trying to imply he is hated by most Ukrainians (despite his approval rating being well over 50%).

    To be clear, being critical of Zelensky is not propaganda, but willfully ignoring data and historical events for the sole benefit of Russia is.

  • Donny's "redeeming" quality was that he was full of shit and didn't follow through with most of the stuff he said. This time around stuff is actually happening, and quickly due to Musktongue

  • I think kids don't usually have a box to "think outside of" until it is instilled by the school system. Until then it's just thinking. (But I'm no teacher, this might be an ignorant take)

  • This is close, but as someone already said, an index into a list just means you are mutating the list.

    Your stable "identifier" needs to be a function, ie. a reused design pattern. Compared to the list, this would be an index function which gets an element from an arbitrary list, meaning you don't have to mutate your list anymore, you just build a new one which still works with your function.

    This is why languages which avoid mutation and side effects are always (to my knowledge) functional languages.
