Probably a side deal with Morroco or something.

No, but their peak sales rates are massively different too.

The stuff in yellow on EU's Eastern border is the stuff Trump plans to give to Putin.

Fuck that, I have no solidarity with .ml after all the shit I've seen there.

The wake up alarms are buggy garbage. I only use the ones in the clock app and just make them recurring every day. Those ones can be trusted.

I don't have the time or desire to go around arguing with every tankie troll on the platform who says that the Ukraine war is the west's fault or that the Holomodor or the Uyghur genocide or Tienamen Square massacre didn't happen. They are too numerous and it accomplishes nothing.

I simply block them. Which leaves them to troll everyone else and spread more misinformation. Mods in communities should have every right to ban trolls as well, otherwise they will strangle said community and drive all sane people out.

I'm all for a good spirited conversation but that's not what they want. They just want to drown out all conversation with their narrative.

Why not add subscribable block lists like Bluesky has? Then it would be easier to accept such a policy.

Bigger screen without bigger form factor?

As nice as the narrative is, the sales numbers would beg to differ. Steam deck, for example, can't touch Switch's numbers, and even if you combined all windows handhelds it would still be a tiny fraction.

If you can't see it with your own two eyes, I don't think any explaining on my part will help. Obviously all countries pollute, but some more than others.

You need to solve your downvote rate before posting.

Yes, a lot of things changed for the better once they got rid of Bolsonaro

Now show us per capita

Get a tea infuser. Loose tea tends to be 100x better quality anyway.

Regardless of whether it's pork blood or person blood, it's still blood.

All these fuckers must be investing in Bluesky or something.

This is the problem with the term socialism. It's very often applied to social democracy, so it's not an exact term any more. For what you are discussing (seizing the means of production, central distribution of resources and jobs), I prefer the term communism.

But none of that matters much. What matters is that the Scandinavian model of social democracy has been far more successful where applied than communism ever was. Communism has only ever been fully implemented on the back of brutal authoritarianism, and that's because it's in fundamental conflict with human nature.

And as much as I would love for human nature and social dynamics of large groups to be different, we have to deal with the animal we have rather than the one we want.

In that case why do we have so many good examples of regulation in capitalist systems, the most effective being the "Scandinavian model" countries which effectively blended large amounts of socialism into a capitalist system and enjoy the best health and happiness rates in the world?

Indeed there is no such thing as an unregulated capitalist economy anywhere in the world. They all have staggering amounts of regulation.

I agree on your points as well. We are so limited by human nature and lack of consensus that I don't think we can escape these problems without something extreme like genetically modifying the whole population of the world.

It's been very nice discussing politics with you. Such civil political conversations are rare and noteworthy.

In that sense you are probably right, but I would say he has more power to make bad decisions that can still seriously fuck shit up abroad than any president from those decades too.
