Wait, treating a 33% result as an absolute mandate to implement a wishy-washy version of the previous government's unpopular program was a bad idea?

That's just a superficial reading of the news.

But there's another level. Why did the dentist kill his wife? Was it some chemical dentists use that needs to be forbidden or at least regulated? Was it a mental health issue that points to failings in the healthcare system? Was it a problem with how he was a raised as a child that can be used to inform education policies? Can the dentist be redeemed or should he just be punished?

And on an even deeper level, should we as a society even care and intervene or should we move to a sociopathic mindset of embracing full individual responsibility and no collective responsibility at all?

"identify"? What makes you believe that the CCP will respect the right to self-identity? As every other reactionary authoritarian party they see everyone with a working uterus as cattle.

If you want to live in a post-societal-collapse there's no one stopping you from squatting in the ruins of an abandoned town or village. There are thousands of ghost towns all over the world.

This is the gaming version of XKCD 1172.

Proportional representation is for the parliament. Presidential elections only have one winner.

Most of this should have been done ages ago, because it's clear the best the Democrats can/are willing to do is snooze the fascist takeover for 4 years at a time, while the underlying problem (almost half of the population are radicalised Nazis) remains.

That doesn't help if they have software that assumes it can reach all sites. I remember a few years ago AWS had a EC2 outage in eu-central-1 because of 1 of the Availability Zones went down and the service that allocates instances threw a 500 when it failed to get that AZ's capacity instead of just allocating the instances to the other 2 AZs.

Not all of them. Tesla has two groups of investors, Elon Musk and his cult members on one side, and investors that deceived themselves into thinking Tesla is a rational investment on the other. The former has the majority of the shares, and the latter is wasting their time and money trying to get the courts to rein in the cult.

We moved into hypothetical whataboutism now?

What kind of sheltered people get offended by "dipshit" to the level they have to censor it?
