I stopped playing online games some years back because this sort of thing was far too common. And I bet it’s even worse now.

This is pretty much it. The disengaged public needs simple, three-word slogans and they need to stick on message, relentlessly (and it needs to connect emotionally as you said).
And while it goes against every instinct of those who are college educated, you need to say things with over the top confidence. Hedging makes sense in the academic world, but average people trust people with excessive confidence.
I have been reading a lot more since the 2016 result. It wasn’t the only reason, but it was a major one (especially non-fiction).
This is good for america because reasons.
People with lifted pickup trucks can now go into even more debt, so they can flex on the “poors” (while complaining about their “economic anxiety”).
You can actually play from the UI too, but it’s not particularly nice to use (or intended to be used that way).
Another issue is that zwave isn’t available in all countries (or it is but uses incompatible frequencies) so it’s less useful outside the big markets.
I’ll add pinchflat as an alternative with the same aim.
That’s the point of this standard, at least in theory. Same with the older but still common ZigBee standard.
Internalised misogyny and all of that.
and other department is a bunch of guys in a half ton truck with buckets of water.
More like a bunch of guys actively pouring fuel on the fire while calling fire itself a “liberal hoax”.
Perplexica is one example. I also seem to remember there is some way to integrate it with SearxNG which is a self hosted meta search engine.
I’m going to have to try the selfhosted variants now. What a huge piece of shit.
FPTP voting system
Voting isn’t compulsory so a lot depends upon on riling up your base
Voting is on a Tuesday instead of a weekend (or a public holiday)
Political parties draw up the electoral boundaries instead of an independent body
The absurdly long leadup to an election
The amount of money thrown around
It’s plausible that it could be a clear win for either candidate. But yeah, a long, dragged out counting process is also quite probable.
This is a rock concert not a bleeding… splish splash show.
Don’t forget the climate. And that will have far greater long term effects to humanity than anything else.
This exactly, as long as your phone has at least one frequency band of the provider, then it will at least connect to their network and allow you to access data.
In the implementation in Australia, you actually will lose data access too if you’re blocked (wifi still works of course). That strikes me as kind of dumb, but I guess they don’t want to give the impression that it’s supported at all, since the whole thing is about emergency calling access.
It’s not just the bands. You could have all of the needed bands and still be blocked (and you could me missing one and just get a warning).
Maybe I’m blind, but I don’t see any mention of healthcare costs on the source you gave.
Per the OECD website, per capita healthcare spending in the US is the worst amongst the entire OECD, and Belgium is comparable to France and Sweden. Not the best, but far from the worst (and not accounting for better healthcare outcomes).
I don’t have sources on hand, but the US in general rates the worst for healthcare outcomes too.
Life imitating art. And it’s unsurprising that these people have the maturity of teenage boys.
