Tbf, this is probably it. It’s just a kneejerk reaction to seeing two shootings at the same time in a region where mass shootings are uncommon.

This and shooting in stockholm. Wtf is happening?
As long as Mozilla remains committed to a free and open internet, I will remain a faithful firefox user.
Even if every update after this one is a useless UI change. :p
When it comes to human scale natural beauty, Germany is one of most beautiful places on the planet. It feels like it was made for people to live in.
Go for walks in the middle of the night. Like in a residential neighborhood, or an industrial district. It’s just so peaceful.
There’s basically one far right playbook. Did you really think Netanyahu would change tactics just because he happened to be a Jewish right winger.
Perhaps. But India is the one trying get Canada to do something. India has the bad visa policy. There is no braindrain to India. So, that change won’t work.
I think hurting the people creates a rally-around-the-flag effect. Instead Canadians tell their government to cede to Indian demands, they’ll tell the government to stick it harder to the Indians.
The beef with Canada has nothing to with China. It’s just a comment on the ridiculousness of Indian foreign policy.
I completely support ostracizing the Chinese government, but not regular Chinese ppl. I mean, they’re just trying to live their life man. Same as the rest of us.
No tourist visas for China, suspending visa services in Canada. This is stupid. Please throw your political temper tantrum in a way that doesn’t hurt regular people.
I really hope so too. I’m tired of Musk.
I love RPGs. But I inevitably spend more time planning out my character class, organizing my inventory, keeping track of quests, etc. Then I actually spend “playing” the game.
It’s an enjoyable play style, I mean I’m choosing to do this. But, it means that every RPG game I see immediately becomes a massive time sink. I’m too employed to ever really enjoy an RPG. :(
I think the only reason Super Mario bros earned that much is because … kids. People in general have grown tired of reboots, remakes, cinematic universes, you know, just the blatant milking of IP.
Then again, Barbie fits in that category. So I dunno.
Good review. Can’t wait to fully immerse myself
I don’t know how old you are, nor should I, so I can’t do anything to stop you.
Representative parliamentary. If it’s a large country (both population and area) or geographically diverse country (eg an archipelago) it should be federal, if not unitary.
Proportional representation based on party lists. Getting on the ballot requires evidence of grassroots support. Silly example: you must have video evidence of you engaging with 5000 unique constituents in a 5 minute one-on-one conversation on the issues in the last year at their residence. The video must end with the constituent explicitly endorsing you. That means at least 5000 5 minute videos with 5000 unrelated people. That’s a lot of physical legwork were you must meet the people. There are better ways, this is just a simple example.
Choose a voting system that favours coalition building.
Elections should be publicly funded. Don’t ban political parties, do ban explicitly anti-democratic people. Antidemocratic ppl can’t work via proxies. They’re, justifiably, afraid that their proxy will steal the power for themselves.
Completely separate head of state (who should be powerless) and head of government. Lots of pomp, ceremonies, frequent press coverage of the powerless head of state. Let the portion of politics that is effectively a dog and pony show focus on him. Let people get emotionally swept up about him wearing a tan suit or sleeping with his secretary or get super proud about how totally not old he is. The head of state can be a show. The head of government should be a boring bureaucrat.
There’s more, but this seems a decent start.
Totally agree. Microsoft has invested way too much in openAI to have a repeat of the Sam Altman debacle. They will formalize their control of te company. And Altman has already shown that in conflict between the board and MS, he’s on Microsoft’s side.
Also, any openAI developer who thinks that openAI currently is an independent company is kidding themselves. Microsoft is effectively already calling the shots, al be it in a roundabout way.
