Those crossings we do also have in NZ, a country with many sheep

The house is also something you definitely wouldn't see in NZ, I also think Scandinavia, specifically Norway since the others don't really have mountains by the water like that.

Calling them emperors for a little while but not changing anything else isn't anything like independence

Ask a serf from tsarist imperial (for the pedants) Russia?

(it did though)

Sweden has its own problems rn

It is, it lives in Australia too and that's what they call it there

No, they really are. No doubt they do plenty of stuff at the behest of the NSA, but they are also a deeply disfunctional company with conflicts between departments and bare minimum funding for security, since it's seen as a cost centre

Ehhh that's likely enough, but Microsoft is also just shit at fixing things

Ehh radioactivity is squarely in physics

Nah, nonprofit state-run landlords (in countries which have them) are great, and strong protections for renters are good. I don't want to buy a house, I move around a lot, don't wanna deal with lawyers every time I move, don't wanna be responsible for maintenance, I just want some basic level of security and not to be completely ripped off.

Why is 85% the magic number? Just because you say so? I do agree that increased property taxes are important, but there's no reason not to also make rental contracts less exploitative.

They mean pet textiles like dog blankets etc, I've seen the same rule in shared laundry facilities all over Europe. The hair fucks up the machines pretty bad and gets on the next person's washing. Sometimes there's a dedicated smaller machine where it's allowed.

spin off Android into their own custom versions that will more likely be more locked down, not less

I disagree. I agree they will make the user experience more locked down, but nobody will buy a phone which is only compatible with 6.73% of apps from whichever, as you correctly say, which means there's no profit motive to lock down app compatibility.

Oh, I see, you aren't actually interested in nuance, just trolling

It's you who has the logic the wrong way around. The rich profiting from the healthcare system is why the healthcare system is bad, that doesn't exclude them from profiting from other things too. In your analogy OP's statement equates to "this Toyota is a car" (or "this car is a Toyota" depending on which thing is the rich and which thing is ruining a societal good).

Because it's cheaper than paying for your own private healthcare

That doesn't sound ridiculously nuanced to me, that sounds straightforwardly like what OP said.

That is absolutely not certain. Sure, it probably won't be trump, he'll be too old to be capable by then. But the republicans could easily find someone meeting most of those criteria, and they still have 4 years to try an insurrection

Building massive production capacity to replace all the cars just locks us in to having cars though
