Nope. The President is both king and prime minister.

A lot of major cities will have a lot of smaller general aviation airports next to each other.

And the union organizer’s name? Albert Einstein.

Passenger rail is still mainly a national competency. There have been some attempts at harmonizing different countries’ rail networks, but it has been slow going.

New York to Los Angeles would be a lot easier logistically than London to Athens.

The American trip would only require one changeover in Chicago. The European trip would require a changeover in every country.

A 2:1 ratio on Social Security age limits wouldn’t affect a lot of his base, so I can see Trump pushing it.

Masks are a sign that things aren’t the normal of 5 years ago.

I expect that the EU is going to have to claim defence competencies to continue the Union’s defense. There are way too many small countries in NATO that can’t contribute meaningfully to a military beyond some basic battalions and the EU needs something more robust than France and Poland.

It is worse.

Trump started with either incompetent yes men who didn’t know how to govern or competent yes men who tried controlling the damage that the President caused.

You now have a group of coordinated people who see Trump as willing to agree with whatever as long as he looks good enough.

What third party protest voters? Trump won a majority of votes.

People decided to stay home this election.

The line that Democrats fall in love, Republicans fall in line seems to have been a big part of this election.

A sizeable number of Biden voters weren’t motivated to vote for Harris for a variety of reasons. And I’ve seen a lot of complaints online, maybe some in bad faith, that this being the most important election since the last one has worn thin for a lot of people.

Some leftists are claiming vindication on their views, but socialist candidates performed poorly nationally as well.

Regarding third parties, leftists like to claim this giant reservoir of support just if Democrats listened to them, but they never show up in an election at all. Jill Stein and other leftist candidates didn’t win even a percent of the vote. Trump won an outright majority of the popular vote.

Why listen to a group that’s just a blip?

And I’m responding to that claim asking, based on his first term, do we really think holding his feet to the fire on this is going to work?

If he got re-elected, is that going to work?

Given that they could be food as well, probably more like a twink farm.

I would expect it would be some kind of landline unless it is far away from the front. A lot of people have gotten killed because they had a device that was transmitting that could be targeted by missiles and drones.

Yeah. The tech industry is imploding as it switches from development to maintenance.

And this is a policy the actors’ union went on strike for.

A raw number across the whole federation would be useless. Different instances have their own cultures, making a unified number worthless. People could also goose their numbers by creating an instance that gives their account unlimited karma.

Instance karma could be useful, but it is a design decision not to show it. I suspect that will continue until there is a need to use karma for moderation, but I suspect that defederation would be the lower lying fruit for now.

Karma has become a part of a measure to determine if an account is a human non-troll.

The first step in ban evasion is to create a new account and continue doing what you’ve done before. By requiring an account to be a certain age along with a certain amount of karma, it makes sure the account is less likely to be a ban evader.
