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.”

Uh. Okay.

And George Soros being some kind of secret mastermind is also a right wing fever dream. Democrats wouldn’t have any interest in doing such a thing

This is so vague it means literally nothing at all

As though Lemmy, or any other vote/like-driven social network, hasn’t been that from day 1?

In the books, I don’t believe they kill anyone - or can. They basically just scare off the corsairs so the rest of gondors army can join the main battle. So ops point is kinda moot

E: I guess it’s a little ambiguous

Pale swords were drawn; but I know not whether their blades would still bite, for the Dead needed no longer any weapon but fear."
