Is this supposed to be some kind of parody to make a point? Not a very good one

If your relationships involve a “gut wrenching feeling 24/7” you might have other problems

Can you rephrase that in English?

What do you mean “cling to the idea they can’t be reached?” A huge portion of political spending goes towards trying to increase turnout (of the people likely to vote for you).

DOGE is basically a bunch of 25 year old know-nothings feeding budget spreadsheets and job descriptions to a chatbot and asking what to cut, so…

There was a second one?

A case for what damages? Reddit karma?

That’s… More or less in agreement with what I said, though? The electoral college certainly doesn’t help matters, but the same principle still holds without it, the EC just adds a second hierarchical level of fptp

It’s not like the two party system is deliberately chosen or enshrined in law. The field naturally winnows down to two parties because that is basically guaranteed to outcompete every other possibility under a first-past-the-post voting system. You want to fix the two party system, you need to fix our voting system.

Like everyone said, it’s fine. They both know how to use the same filesystems, mostly. The only exception is that your Linux install might happily let you mess with or delete essential Windows system files in a way that breaks your install, which Windows would probably try to protect you from. So just, y’know, stay out of system directories

Why would being a good thing make it not socialism?

Girl, I can’t keep track of who the “theys” and “girls” are enough to even have any idea what you’re talking about

Isn’t that unlucky? You would probably have gotten severance

Well, they can’t, because they’re already in the public domain and nobody is around who can claim them as an original creation.

If you want this to be some pure hypothetical where that doesn’t matter, then… Sure, I guess? That’s what intellectual property is.

It’s also not a tower defense game, it’s a moba. There are towers and some defending of them, but you’re not placing and upgrading towers to stop enemies, you’re controlling one individual character from a large roster. The towers play a pretty minor role.

You see, a monad is like a burrito…

They do. Nobody reads them

I know this is the least important one on there, but I don’t get this thing lately where people talk about “staying hydrated” like it’s some big challenge they have to put effort towards. Like… get thirsty, drink water?

Asking a bunch of random Internet posters on Lemmy, who know nothing about property speculation, land management, investment in general, or especially your country, while providing very few specifics about your plan, is not going to yield useful advice.

Sure, it comes up from time to time, if a bit less than e.g. Irish or Italian heritage. Hard to say why, but possibly because most German immigrants settled in the Midwest, which is typically an area you just don’t hear as much about in the broader culture.

The question of identifying as a particular ethnic group vs as “American” is… complicated. For starters, it’s very different for European vs non-European heritage, for a lot of reasons very tied up in both history and modern reality. It’s honestly hard to comment on without saying something that someone else is going to object to. But by and large European ancestry is mostly viewed as a distant thing, just an interesting fact about your family, that maybe brings some unique traditions, or family dynamics/expectations, etc, but which has mostly been long since absorbed into the broader idea of “white American.”
