What are they expecting out of not voting? Do they not care if Trump or Harris win? I just really don’t get why you wouldn’t vote here.
There also were enough people who didn’t vote for or against the NSDAP because they also disagreed with the other parties… It’s not about voting for a party you agree with, it’s about voting for the party with which you agree more / disagree less than with the other parties.
I hope so. I don’t want Android to become the new Apple
A religion of hoarding money. It doesn’t get any more American than that.
LLM have greatly increased my coding speed: instead of writing everything myself I let AI write it and then only have to fix all the bugs
Often the answers are pretty good. But you never know if you got a good answer or a bad answer.
That too of course
I suppose in the USA it’s also usual for the lower ranked person to salute first, then the higher ranked salutes back, higher ranked puts hand down again and then the lower ranked puts the hand down?
So by saluting to a North Korean general the highest man of the US-american army says he’s ranked lower than some North Korean general.
Hopefully that’ll change, iirc the EU discussed about requiring physical buttons for the highest safety rating a few months ago. Idk how that turned out but if it passed there’s hope
I love it when politicians in a democracy are doing things for the people.
Are these buttons in a room with us right now
Give me my buttons back
We still have Lemmy
No, communism has a centrally planned, state-directed economy. Only some executive functions are regional, but the power also lies at very few people in the end.
Usually we just vote, they find a coalition and it stays that way for a few years
About coalitions: they mean that the parties in power need at least 50%, so if there’s not a single party with over 50% (“absolute majority”) they need a partner. The big parties in my country usually get 20-30%.
What happened?
I have to disagree, I’d say the main focus of the cold war was influence. You don’t build a huge military to show others that your economic system is better, you do it to have more influence.
Why would you even care which economic system others use? It’s better for you when other countries are economically weaker, so it’s better when they use an economic system of which you think it’s inferior.
As you said, it’s not about ideology, it’s about influence. And Russia is trying its best to increase its influence in Europe (and also other parts of the world), and if Trump gets elected they likely will gain much more influence (given he really stops supporting Ukraine, weakens NATO support, doesn’t care if Russia continues taking other “unimportant” countries. All those things are things that he promised his voters.)
If too many people ignore Russian’s spreading influence they’ll only be forced to stop ignoring it when it’s too late and they’ve set up a few more puppet states already.
And yet Russia is currently fighting for more influence in Europe, trying to destabilise countries with misinformation, bots, spies, etc - causing extremist parties, both left and right wing, to rise (partly by helping them with misinformation campaigns, partly by directly giving them money), polarising the population, and will probably successfully annex Ukraine if Trump gets elected (which isn’t unlikely currently), allowing him to start the game he’s been playing with Ukraine since 2004 with the next country.
The time to lay back and stop worrying about the cold war isn’t here yet. There has been a break, but it’s fully running again.
Won? You mean stalemate.
Just as the republicans want how women should vote?
I’d be hyped anyway. Not because I want to buy one now, but because it’s possible (and I might buy one in like a decade when they’re affordable)
Rollable phones are such insanely sci-fi-y things
