Well, it may be like this too, now that you mention it. But the voting system remains a factor in the sense it steers subsequent opinions on the desired sarcastic effect. Imagine a comment one first reader reads as stupid and can't figure out the sarcasm, then downvotes; after that, a second reader comes and the previous downvote reassures the "just stupid" comment interpretation. It's probably easy to have a cascading effect from the first votes.
Yeah, I don't feel animosity against Russia or Russians as you do, but they certainly could manage better without the USA snooping around, which was my point.
The "/s" mark is a problem. As a sarcastic, marking your sarcasms doesn't feel right. I think it is another consequence of the karma system, i.e. people put the mark so people don't downvote them for not understanding that we think alike about something. I tell you guys, all of you, just ditch the voting system, don't be a captive of judgment of your ideas!
And this is only the beginning. Trump delays surely allowed smarter people than him some precious time to think the next move. Canada and Mexico will hit back hard, with accuracy. The higher social classes across the three countries are gonna be affected too. What friends do the USA have left? Not Europe, not North America, certainly not Russia. USA, Israel, and Argentina, I guess, for now. And the latter is crumbling fast since the $LIBRA scandal.
Right. As if it was very different. It's like American presidents can't really decide on some fundamental things. I wonder if even Bernie Sanders would stop sending weapons to Israel if he was POTUS. Maybe that can't be changed, like the Cuban situation.
Mandrake was the first distro I was looking for in a small city, in the third world in the 90s. Couldn't put my hands on those CDs, not even in the one university with some sort of computational engineering career there. I first installed Slackware.
I know in this instance you are prone to see Zelensky with the best eyes possible, but this was a shitshow from both sides. Trump, the usual, but Zelensky, what a lack of self-awareness!
You are probably right, but what matters is the effect it has in the voting system.
