It's twitch. Go on any channel with above 500-1000 viewers and it'll all be the same. Unless it's a super modded channel with sub-only and slow mode and shit. Even then you get quite a bit of spam

I think all the games that do this are annoying. We're not stupid, we can come up with an acronym for your name. It's silly, I know, but it made me not want to play FTL: faster than light for a long time.

What a bunch of horseshit.

At best, third party voting has led to splitting votes and Woodrow Wilson winning despite having only 41% of the votes and at worst, it's done absolutely nothing.

This is why a vote for third party is a vote for trump. Because no trump supporter is gonna vote third party. If you're voting third party, it means one less vote for Harris which means less smaller chance of her winning which means higher chance of trump losing. Anyone saying otherwise is either dumb as fuck or is purposefully trying to split the votes to help trump win.

You know how they say this is a living, breathing planet? Yep, there you go. True vegan food comes from lifeless planets.

Just learn and speak Latin or Klingon or something. Those are much less likely to change.

Yeah, don't worry about kids dying of cancer. They're irrelevant in the vastness that is god.

I wonder, tho. Which one do you mostly lean towards. Are kids dying to punish someone or are they dying to test the parents? Or is there a third, more important reason we mortals can't comprehend? Or is it just about having faith that it's his will?

I can go on a killing spree tomorrow and feel good about myself because that was god's will, right? He allowed it to happen, right?

We've either got free will in which case there's no "god's will" or, we don't actually have free will and everything is predetermined to happen anyway. Not sure which is more fucked up to believe.

None of that has anything to do with the Dems and GOP being in cahoots to control the country.

Also, the illuminati and freemasons are two different societies, get your conspiracies straight, please.

Nah, it's a lot more likely that Russia's got trump by the balls. It's about a billion times more likely than your illuminati conspiracy.

Do you also believe the earth is flat? It's about the same odds I think, altho I'm no mathematician;

You mean the case which convinced the ICJ that Israel was committing war crimes and made them order Israel to halt operations?

Just because they haven't proven genocide in the full legal sense doesn't mean what's happening there is right.

You're on the wrong side of Lemmy for these kinds of opinions. Over here Ukraine is the aggressor and the global south are a beacon of hope for the future of mankind. Puked a little in my mouth just typing that.

Objectively speaking she can dance and keep a crowd going while still hitting her notes. It doesn't matter if you don't enjoy the music, she's objectively doing a good job. You critiqued her singing, not her music.

It's ok to not like something, you know. Pretending they're not good is pretty weird tho.

That's a historical drama, not a documentary, tho. Like complaining about vikings or gladiator or whatever.

Think this is the clearest and most complete answer. If you follow this, you'll be fine.

There's literally one extra word they put in there. Remove the "don't" and it'll be fine.

Maybe you're right, dunno. To me they just seem like useful idiots of authoritarian regimes. People that legit believe the shit they're saying. I hope you're right, that'd make the whole thing a bit less sad, imo

Also, do you happen to have some examples? Because the best I've heard so far is people accusing users such as linkerbaan or whatever it was, based on the fact that they appeared to be posting during times that coincided with the east European working hours.

I'm just quoting Wikipedia. Not sure how that's making me a lover of far right think tanks. You're free to edit it and provide sources for it and it'll be changed if it's wrong.

And yes, metrics such as 7/10 people can't afford food. Not metrics such as "the country with only one political party is more democratic than western countries".

Anyway, we're back to square one. Me quoting sources, you dismissing them and not providing anything in return. Typical. Anyway, nobody's gonna read this far down anyway, so I'm out. Or storming off, as you like to put it. Mark another victory in your calendar. xD

Again, it was terrible quality of life before the liberalization which started 30 years ago, because that's why it started, and it's gotten worse, not better since. Stop trying to blame it on the pandemic, it was bad before it as I've already said and you've ignored.

As for the other stuff you've mentioned: Good for them on the LGBTQ and healthcare stuff, that's a great thing, however...

"Human rights in Cuba are under the scrutiny of human rights organizations, which accuse the Cuban government of committing systematic human rights abuses against the Cuban people, including arbitrary imprisonment and unfair trials.International human rights organizations such as Amnesty International and Human Rights Watch have drawn attention to the actions of the human rights movement and designated members of it as prisoners of conscience, such as Óscar Elías Biscet. In addition, the International Committee for Democracy in Cuba led by former statesmen Václav Havel of the Czech Republic, José María Aznar of Spain and Patricio Aylwin of Chile was created to support the Cuban dissident movement."

"Press freedom is an ongoing issue in Cuba. The country has ranked low on the Press Freedom Index, a list published by Reporters Without Borders which reflects the degree of freedom that journalists, news organisations, and netizens have in a country. Cuba has been ranked among the index's “least free" countries for a decade."

As someone whose family lived under a similar regime I can tell you one thing: quality of life is more than stats. Stats can be good while real quality of life is shit. Which is what appears to be happening there. Which is what usually(probably always?) happens under authoritarian regimes.
