In most #democracies, a multi-party system wouldn’t be a problem. Many of the world’s most successful democracies have a broad range of parties that reflect different points of view, and political cultures that facilitate working together in their country’s interest.
However, our voting system is built to stifle political diversity.
If held under First Past the Post, the 2029 election will be little more than a lottery.
Millions of votes will be effectively wasted. We´ll get MPs supported by fewer than 1 in 4 of their constituents. And whichever party wins, we’ll almost certainly end up with a government that the vast majority of the public opposes.
Question for #smokers (and non-smokers who know the answer) Does smacking the package of unopened #cigarettes repeatedly on the palm of your hand, or on a tabletop, really help to 'pack' the #tobacco tighter?
I was only really aware of people doing that with soft packaged, unfiltered cigarettes and was told it was to dislodge loose fragments of tobacco to avoid inhaling them.
TEHRAN, Aug. 04 (MNA) – The two nuclear submarines that US President Donald Trump ordered "to be positioned in the appropriate regions" have already arrived where they are supposed to be, Trump said.

Waiting (and waiting) at the vet's drop-in urgent care with The Retriever as I'm pretty sure she has a foxtail in her ear. Already had time to take a 40 minute walk and get tea and a muffin. Finished the muffin. We were number nine on the list and everybody who was waiting initially seems to still be here. Expect lots of replies to your toots in the next hour (or two 😞).
Hour 2 of our vet wait. The guy who signed in just ahead of us has a very large dog named Elaine. The Retriever is bored. She's now lying down and heavy sighing.
gitea is availible on truenas so youre gonna just click install? Fuck no. One thing i hate with the app installation is that it forces its own db. Like i already have a that db server running. Now gitea is pretty much just make a custom app on truenas blah blah blah that also cuts out the need for s3 but gitlab? yeah i have no clue, that shit come in one big beautiful deb file that has everything gitlab needs. ok dedicated redis is fine but fym i need another postgresql server man just fuck off. I might have 28 cores and 416gb of ram and 100gb of vram BUT THAT DOESNT MEAN I NEED TO USE EVERY SINGLE LAST BIT OF IT. Also fuck postgresql, why the FUCK CANT I READ THE DATABASE WITH YOUR OFFICIAL GUI PROGRAM.
Ms Sweeney appears to be the near-miraculous answer to the trend of glorifying ugly to sell.
More importantly, she is the utter antithesis to Mr Dylan Mulvaney, who should be known as The Killer of Brands.
(I have long held a suspicion that Mulvaney is knowingly and intentionally playing a very long performance art game that would earn Andy Kaufman's admiration. Maybe, maybe not.)
Ms Sweeney is hitting the starting line running for the title of Builder of Brands.
This video is so perfectly congruent with the announcement that she is a registered Republican and her revitalisation of a clothing brand.
She is displaying not merely herself as a beautiful and capably talented woman, she is presenting America, and the world, with a devastatingly effective archetype.
Since everything degrades to Hitler comparisons, let me predict that any photo of Ms Sweeney in braids is in danger of being posed alongside Nazi propaganda using attractive German blondes in braids as an archetype too.
Thus every male capable of discerning attractive from grotesque will conclude "welp, I guess I'm a Nazi now."
The power of this rapidly emerging archetype is pretty amazing to me. I think that we are seeing a superb indicator for the ideological wellbeing of America.
A cynic may look at the timing of Ms Sweeney's emergence as this archetype and conclude dark forces produced Ms Sweeney. I predict this emergence as well.
But I think that what may be truly remarkable is that she chose this moment herself. I will very much enjoy this patriotic version of performance art by what appears to be a lovely and sincere woman.
@GRA3432 I hear you, but the graphic was made by UN Women, that's why they focus on them. I don't think the UN Geneva's intent was to say boys and men are less. That being said, they should've left the infographic with UN Women, and make their own.
I know, but I read this just too often - and I have sons and grandsons and nephews - not talking about a beloved hb whom I would not wish to see starving.

Also to remember that IDF kidnapped 14 palestinians from the same village after the murder of the palestinian activist, they are now held in "administrative detention" like thousands of others with no charge or access to lawyer.
The terrorist who murdered the activist is seen participating in new raids against Palestinian villages and terrorizing them with backing of IDF and Israeli police
We really don't know the extent of Gaza #genocide since there is no government in #Gaza to register the dead or missing any more.
Only when Israeli occupation ends, we will be able to find out the real number of people murdered by #Israel in the past 21 months, and the number is much much larger than the official (verified) 60000.
Will that change the minds of the world about the evil that exist in psyche of the people in Israel who justify and defend this?
I stupidly had mozzarella (which I can’t get lactose-free) two days in a row, so with hindsight it’s not surprising that my digestive system complained, but it was a bloody week ago now and I am getting a bit sick of it.

Appreciate the cute yelling dog of the Buddhist temple. She's not all that devoted to buddhism but she makes for a great introduction to the temple when she shouts good morning. A bit simple minded however it makes her all the cuter.
Of course her greatest fun is in being a part of her punk band with Mystia. Quite strange how those two became friends. I'm sure the head of the temple is still quite annoyed at Kyouko's tendencies towards music. Still these kinds of simple thoughts are what makes her so cute.
youtube.com/watch?v=RIdvqy9G3M… Can you argue with an echo? I guess when the dog decides to counter your points it becomes a sort of argument. Good song regardless.
@LoliHat Ever since playing with the Touhou Little Maid mod for Minecraft my thoughts on Kyouko's sounds has been irreparably damaged by the yahoo voice used there. I cannot imagine her mouth opening to make any other noise.
You give me a little prompt (preferably 2 words, but I'm more flexible than I used to be) and I draw whatever I want based on that, then send you the original. You want revisions? Use AI.

As far as I know, there is no link between CO2 (or O2) levels and airborne viral load. If you are indoors and want to protect yourself from Covid (etc), don't make a decision to mask (or not) based on what your CO2 meter says — just mask up!
Or, in other words, don't avoid putting on a mask based on what your CO2 meter says. It might give you a false sense of reassurance!
@SilverDeth @mitchconner Thing is, they do that in theory they can lure top talent or whatever. Its prob nice as hell to have but you need to be doing something.
They're going to look at who is producing and who isn't and the people working 3 hours a damn day arent going to survive.
I worked for an IT contracting company for 13 years in my past life. We made millions each year coming into several large corporations and various state government agencies, specifically to unfuck what the 3-work-hour-per-day gurl-bosses and street-shitter contractors fucked.
To my knowledge, none of them ever faced consequences for their fuckery. In the state's case, they knew the idiot bitch in charge of state printing and her small army of pooojeets were going to FUBAR the automated print Solimar servers on a weekly basis, and just staffed five of us out there at $50.00 per hour for almost seven years.
The big companies were as bad or worse than government in this regard. Competency is left to outside contracts staffed by Whites and Asians, who fix the shitfest caused by laziness, neglect and incompetence.
Near as I can tell, this is pretty much the state of the modern tech-west.
The state printing cunt literally retired out, they let her fuck things over for 27 years, and shoveled money at contracting firms to fix her disasters the entire time.
They ended up putting us completely in charge of the tech-side State Printing after she retired. The niggress they installed to replace her was so much WORSE that she didn't even understand who the department she allegedly ran worked. That monkey was the worse administrators I have ever witnessed by orders of magnitude. They quietly kicked her upstairs and let her leave the campus after a 30 min staff meeting every morning. Why? Allowing her to fuck off to who knows where was less damaging than having the sheboon doing idiotic shit.
Example: A RICOH production printer (about 220k replacement) went out, it was a workhorse - we wanted a replacement. Nig-nog ignores us, talks to XEROX, they fly her to their offices and put her up in a five star hotel for a week (this is illegal by state law by the way) feed her lobster and she comes back having signed a contract to install a TWENTY-FIVE-MILLION dollar Xerox production printer, 70k per year in service, and required a TWO-MILLION dollar fire suppression, power expansion and humidity control system to be installed in the state printing office.
(This was a REPUBLICAN administration that allowed this coon with 5 inche long fingernails to run the office by the way).
Was she punished? Nope. It was all quietly cancelled, and Xerox was paid 120k for breaking the contract. It seems SOMEBODY leaked this fuckup to the shit-lib newspapers. Probably some IRRITATED IT PROFESSIONAL who didn't want to re-write the entire Solimar print automation package that auto-converts the daily Warrants, DNR, SDR and Child Support Services Word documents into postscript for a stupid and unnecessary purchase that was directly against the advices and wishes of the print operators.
@SilverDeth I saw some guy on YouTube boasting about his real estate holdings and he said something like "why do BURGER FLIPPERS expect $20 an hour, why should you get SIX FIGURES for flipping BURGERS". This radicalized me. (You see the math error I hope)
@SilverDeth it needs to change from both ends. Section 8 is far too generous. They're like "you can't afford to live in this luxury apartment building for $1500 so go ahead and pay $15 from now on". The three times your rent income requirment should go both ways.

@foufoutos τι να συνειδητοποιήσουν καλέ τα δεκαοχταχρονα όταν στο σπίτι τα μαθαίνουν πώς να κάνουν υποκλίσεις στο κάθε λαμόγιο με λεφτά; Ξέρεις πόσα απ'αυτά νομίζουν ότι αν δουλέψουν στο Χ μπουρδελοριζορτ, θα "πάρουν μπόι"; Η πραγματικότητα βέβαια τα προσγειώνει ατσαλα, αλλά τα δεκαοχταχρονα είναι πιο αναλώσιμα για όλους αυτούς κι απ'το κωλοχαρτο
@Otinanai ναι, εντάξει, αναφερόμουν στο αν αντιδρούν ενάντια στην κυβέρνηση, στους απαράδεκτους εργασιακούς νόμους, που αυτή όρισε κλπ @imperiousmarabu
@Otinanai απο ποτε ειναι συμβολο στατους το να δουλευεις στον τουρισμο ως ανειδικευτος; εγω ενιωθα σκατα που δουλευα, οι φιλοι μου πηγαιναν διακοπες κι εγω παλι δεν ειχα λεφτα @foufoutos
@foufoutos έχω εδώ ένα ζευγάρι, αυτός 20 αυτή 18. Τους έδωσα ένα δωμάτιο για τη σεζόν σε τιμή που να μπορούν να πληρώσουν με τη δουλειά που βρήκαν στο πενταστερο πιο πέρα. Σερβιτόροι και οι δύο. Ήρθαν στην αρχή όλο χαρά και καμάρι που θα δούλευαν εκεί (νόμιζαν ότι θα συνδυάσουν δουλειά και διακοπές) και μέσα σε ένα μήνα, είναι για λυπηση. Από τις 8 ως τις 6-7 το απόγευμα δουλειά και μετά μόνο ύπνο. Έχω δει πολλά τέτοια παιδιά
από τότε που προσελαβα υπάλληλο, όλοι αναρωτιούνται γιατί την πληρώνω, όταν δεν έχει δουλειά! Δλδ θεωρούν ότι ο εργαζόμενος με σύμβαση είναι κάτι σαν συνέταιρος, αλλά μόνο στις αναδουλειες. Συνήθης πρακτική, για τους μήνες που δεν υπάρχει πληρότητα, η εκ περιτροπής απασχόληση και αμοιβή. Ε, κι αν πλακώσει δουλειά, θα πάρουν το μισθό ολόκληρο αλλά μέχρι εκεί. Για τις έξτρα ώρες, ποντάρουν στην ανάγκη του άλλου για μεροκάματο, που τί θα βρει στο τελείωμα της σεζόν;

@DoctorG_1, gendern ist auch in Spanien ei Thema mit einigen durchaus absurden und lustigen Auswüchsen wo es einem grammatikalisch und phonetisch den Magen umdreht.
Persöhnlich ist es mir Wurscht, ich halte mich an die althergebrachte Grammatik, weil ich finde, das Gleichberechtigung nicht von Wörtern abhängt, sondern vom Verhalten der Personen., nicht von was man sagt, sondern wie man es sagt.
Wir müssen erstmal lernen die Person als solche zu wertschätzen, nicht nachdem was sie zwischen den Beinen hat oder welche sexuellen Vorzüge (mit Grenzen, siehe Trumpel), erst dann sind wir bereit an der Sprache herumzuschrauben ohne das Wörterbuch als Fussball zu benutzen.
Die Sprache evolutioniert immer, aber sollte unter den richtigen Voraussetzungen vonstatten gehen. Verbieten ist natürlich keine Lösung, aber Erziehung in den richtigen Themen.
Die Leute sollten erstmal richtig Deutsch lernen und ihren Wortschatz vergrössern. Mir haben dabei Torsten Sträter und Jürgen von der Lippe sehr geholfen um den Reichtum und Eleganz der deutschen Sprache schätzen zu lernen (zum Preis von Seitenstechen vor Lachen)

It's clear that Congress is committed to gutting renewables funding & propping up fossil fuels
YET there are some outcomes that illustrate a tiny bit of restraint and responsiveness--like when the Senate considered *taxing* renewables, which quickly got shut down.
So my question is: What is working? Does anyone have insights into what types of #Advocacy actions have impact in this political climate?
Understanding this is key to getting our species to commit suicide at a slightly slower rate (aka getting the country that produces the most oil & gas to engage in some level of transitioning toward renewables)
Former Trump senior adviser Elon Musk on Saturday said the Senate’s latest draft of the bill “gives handouts to industries of the past while severely damaging industries of the future.”
