Ah yes Straw Man, drug kingpin

I had one site limit my password to 8 characters long

Which is correct

Yeah, it was crazy how warm last winter was. I live in Edmonton which is the most northern city with 1 million people in North America, and even through December we would have no snow on the ground when regularly there would be a couple inches to a foot everywhere.

The weather is also much more sporadic than I ever remember it being which is fun. It’s either unusually warm or stupidly cold. We had only about a week of really cold weather and heavy snow last winter

I would like to tell you that some people can’t see bios on Lemmy (example: I am on Connect and it does not show up). Not capitalizing pronouns is convention in English except when using “I” since it’s one letter or (apparently from a quick search) when referring to god / a higher power. People aren’t misgendering or being disrespectful, it’s just how English works

It’s a clickbait title. From what I see it basically says that Hitler gave democracies a common enemy to fight against and rally to defend their system

In FPTP, not really because voting third party can split the vote between multiple parties meaning that none of them get a relative majority of votes and their common opponent wins instead. The system encourages you to vote for the next closes party that is the most likely to get more votes (strategic voting). It entirely favours a 2 party dynamic

This is a good video explanation that you may have seen before as it is popular

It’s a system designed to keep the 2 parties in power. Voting third party means your vote is effectively wasted in a FPTP system

I have an 04 canyon and it’s ran great with proper maintenance and some repairs. Modern vehicles should last a long time as long as you put the needed maintenance into them

If you aren’t far left then you are far right!

Also, these leaders have little in common and I don’t know where you got the idea Mussolini is a western hero

Sorry. It was on another thread and I was mad at OP. Never played the game

Fucker banned me rather than having any kind of discussion at all. Please tell me which policies make the republicans akin to nazis, or is it just that you refuse to have any kind of constructive discussion online and enjoy basking in the morcel of power you have to demonize those you don’t like

This is the problem with the internet. No discussion. I either blindly agree with the left here on lemmy or am a far right nutjob who apparently supports white supremacy and eugenics

This goes into a fight over philosophy of human nature. However, since the days of the Roman republic over 2000 years ago where capitalism wasn’t even a concept, people have used political systems to consolidate and gain power over others. It is undoubtabele that there will be people who try to co-opt the system for their personal gain

On a somewhat unrelated note I have a Ukrainian classmate who had to return to Ukraine to renew his passport (they suspended consular services outside Ukraine). He has about 2 weeks before turning 18 and being legally banned from leaving the country. Hope the best for him

People who aren’t good at presentation making think that they are supposed to convey absolutely everything they are saying and be crammed full of information. I was doing a group presentation sometime ago where my group members insisted I put paragraphs of info in my slides and were worried we would fail for not enough information. Even after explaining that they were meant to guide the audience in what I was going to say, they insisted that it was wrong

Bumbulum is such a great word

How DARE you EVER complain about work, wage slave.
