What makes you say that? He is clearly promising a lot of things to happen, and he’s confirmed he would be a dictator “the first day”.
I know politicians bullshit a lot, but I am not so sure he doesn’t intend to follow through on at least some of the very outlandish shit he’s promised so far.
Wait, what? If he’s retired, why is he running for PM?
Every time I hear the guy speak I can’t imagine him in a room with any other world leaders not turning into an open brawl. Even if I agreed with his politics, the fact that he’s so full of himself would turn me off of voting for this windbag.
Thanks, that does actually help out of into context and explains how we got here. I think the better question (and the one I should’ve asked) is why are we still using a system that predates the railroad?
As much as I hate to pin hopes on a hail mary like that, this is likely the only scenario where we will get voting reform to happen. The party in power has no incentive to change the system that brought them to power in the first place, so we’re basically gambling on an outgoing party using their last days of holding onto power to make it happen. Just writing this out makes me wonder how we ever got here in the first place. Who thought first-past-the-post was anywhere near a functional system to begin with?
It’s certainly a bit leading in question 1 and doesn’t explain the differences in question 2. I don’t think it was outright intended to influence people’s decisions, but it sure didn’t help either.
Couldn’t agree more. Politics (and politicians by extension) should represent the constituents, not force the constituents to fit into one of two camps. The whole system is backwards currently and the sooner we fix it, the better we’ll all be for it.
What boggles my mind though is that three consecutive pollings on electoral reform have failed here in BC (https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/british-columbia/electoral-reform-referendum-results-1.4954538). You’d think people would like to get rid of FPTP but apparently they consistently vote in favor of the status quo.
It’s almost like a system that awards power on a winner-takes-all basis results in suboptimal representation of your population. Who would’ve though? /s
True, but Göteborg has its own areas to avoid. Hjällbo comes to mind…
Thanks! Sounds like decent progress hady been made in this area already. I’ll keep an eye on this project so that when 24H2 drops I’ve got a way to avoid turning my headset into e-waste.
That sounds pretty promising. I know the headset camera-based Controleer tracking will be a pain to implement, but at least there’s some hope for people that plonked down 600+ bucks for these devices. Some, like me, just a month ahead of the eol announcement…
High pay means nothing when the cost of living is even higher. Making 20 bucks an hour sounds great until you have to pay 3000 bucks in rent each month.
This looks familiar. Is this somewhere in Whistler by any chance?
“Fighting solves everything” - These guys are really out there thinking they can punch the bottle of social progress back into the bottle. If this were a parody people would say it’s too ridiculous to be true.
Talk about a terrible way to go. For everyone involved. That’s a lot of people that’ll need trauma counseling for sure.
That’s an astute observation and you’re probably right. Doesn’t rule out someone f’ing up IRL but it makes the whole thing less believable for sure.
This looks like an average road in the Netherlands. The only thing that seems odd is the lack of a bike lane, but otherwise this is pretty mundane over there.
Overall I think one could argue that by the time of the events of TES 3 nothing the Tribunal was doing was particularly good looking.
If it wasn’t for the Nerevarine Dagoth Ur would’ve eventually converted all the inhabitants to zombies, with the Tribunal being mostly powerless to stop him.
Love seeing Morrowind references in the wild.
By the way, it’s strongly implied in the game that holding those meteorites suspended above the city is a bargaining chip by Vivec to scare people into continued worship of him to offset the fading power of the heart of Lorkhan (which they used to become the tribunal of gods in the first place).
This is also why, in the expansion (after the Nerevarine destroys the heart) we see the meteorites falling to the earth after Vivec disappears. This eventually triggers the apocalyptic red year, which leaves large parts of Morrowind destroyed and explains the dark elf refugees in TES V (plus the expansion where you can see the mainland of Morrowind as a smouldering ruin from the shore of Solstheim).
Yeah that makes more sense and how I’ve understood it to work. Guaranteed retirement =/= retired.
