That would be one huge museum of equally bad similarly looking statues. No need to preserve them all, because there are so many of them, a couple will do.

He was governor of Hispania Ulterior at one point.

That is why it is technically a republic, but not in practice. The constitution says it is a republic, and they actually have an election for the role of head of state, well "election", but of course in practice that is not how it works at all.

The US is also technically a representative democracy, but in practice, well...

No, republic just means that the role of head of state isn't hereditary. Lots of dictatorships are republics, some democracies are as well. The actual political system of the USA is representative democracy (in theory at least).

The fact that these terms are so muddled in the minds of the average American is completely deliberate, because it makes it so much easier for them to subvert US democracy when people have been told that the US is not one.

I don't. I just plug a pc directly to my tv.

There are no moderate Republicans any longer. Those days are long gone.

It seems like you are mainly criticising fans (perhaps imaginary fans) rather than the show itself. I do agree that the later seasons are just not as good as the first ones, and personally I have little interest in the newest season, it never should have been revived in my opinion, it is just going to end up like the Simpsons.

I will gladly rewatch old episodes though, and no, not because I think it predicts anything, but because it is damn funny.

such as with its views on theology and politics which are trademark 90’s views.

You are getting me curious. Could you give some examples of what trademark 90's views on theology and politics are?

Exactly my impression as well.

No, only if you cross someone higher up, otherwise they are perfectly fine with it. Corruption is the norm, so that just means everyone higher up will have leverage over you if you fuck up. They won't care about the corruption until then.

Me neither, but I am not seeing any comments actually explaining what it is all about.

I feel you. They got these bots posting results of games or whatever to each and every sports team community. But it is not one bot doing that, no that would be too easy because you could just block that, each and every sports team community got its own specifically named bot posting the exact same things.

Really messes a lot with the all/new feed.

Yeah, I think OP is asking strictly from a US perspective (although being USdefaultist by not specifying it), because I can't really think of any large European city which doesn't have realitve large parks in the city center or next to it.

And of course as long as your cooking pot is large enough and you are actually being present, then there shouldn't be any risk of it boiling over and thus no need for any oil.

Your stir at the beginning to ensure that each piece of pasta is properly engulfed by water. But after that there really shouldn't be much need of stirring, the pasta moves around in the water on its own.

Please don't throw your pasta.

It was never a "lefty thing". It was a right wing libertarian thing from its inception, and that hasn't changed at all.

That is not how it works. You are the one posting dubious claims, it is your own job to back up those claims with actual evidence.

Gas is dramatically more responsive and precise for heat control.

Compared to coil definitely, but not if we are talking induction. Induction is as responsive as gas for heat control. Of course noone should be buying electric coil stoves in this day and age.

Sounds like you have an old version of induction. There is no beeping on mine when doing that at all.
