Maybe because 4 years aren’t much? It’s nice to be fluent in foreign languages, and known to be good for your brain (delaying / preventing Alzheimer’s for example)

Not sure, maybe he is willing to give up all of that, including possibly his own life, to be in history books forever as the first person on Mars.

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%.

With enough time that’s no problem

So is the conclusion from that that LGBTQ people would rather vote for Trump (directly, or indirectly by voting for some small candidate or not voting)? I don’t get why this would be a reason for them to not support the democrats

Where do you see a W?

Got time? Practice openings or play online.

No time? Play 1 minute games online.

Inconsistent time (have to go any moment) or just casual? Practice puzzles.

Sounds like you’re somewhere around the center in a polarised society

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.

AWD often is the difference of if you have to put on chains to keep going upwards or not. Downwards you’ll need them anyway.

Never had to use chains? Not getting any snow? It’s not very useful then.

While I agree with that, I dislike how environmentally unfriendly most are - especially Bitcoin.

That’s just crazy… When I’m sick I’m getting paid leave - when coming to work and they notice I’m sick they’ll send me home. This even makes sense from a 100% capitalist perspective, because it costs less to pay one person to stay at home and recover as quickly as possible than to have them spread their infection, making everyone less productive, but at the same time keeping everyone at work, greatly slowing down the recovery.

Vacation also is known to be net positive since even just one week or just a few days off every ~2 months greatly increases productivity and prevents burnouts. It’s like weekends but more extreme. You wouldn’t want someone who probably already is stressed because they have to catch up after being sick to also lose their vacation.

Those US-american laws don’t even make sense from the USA’s system’s 100% money focused view.

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.

You don’t have mandatory paid sick leave but have to use your vacation instead?

Won? You mean stalemate.

API changes. Now I only use it for some niche communities, all the big ones are overrun by bots anyway.

2. Not involved in politics, simply supports the same party as her husband without questioning it

Just as the republicans want how women should vote?
