And that's an obtuse and edgy fallacy. You do realise this wasn't about the people "voting wrong," but about the candidates themselves being demonstrated to have functioned based on false pretenses and hidden agendas while having Putin's hand up their arses, right? Convincing people to vote based on lies and mass manipulation is about as far from anything to have ever been considered even marginally democratic. The result itself, thus, is undemocratic.

What you're proposing is that Democracy should be as a herd of sheep throwing themselves off a cliff because, hey! The first one did it!

Cheap bait, m8. Like, really cheap, those worms are flaky...

But... that doesn't really... what?

That's a fallacy, Democracy doesn't mean "let any elected moron lead," it means "leaders should encourage and further the democratic process," to represent the best interests of the people. A Manchurian candidate is pretty much the antithesis of Democracy.

I'm not gonna say anything about Le Pen because I do my best to detach from shitheads beyond checking their legal status, but as a Romanian, I can say that Georgescu's removal was a win for that very Democracy you're talking about.

I'm 75% anxiety.

That's when you slap the "one per date" card on the table;)

What, cubes ain't cool enough anymore, we're doing triangle fractals now?

Well, that just confirms my suspicions that the system is a bit too... abrupt. I mean, sure, it's essentially a game, but the quality of writing clashes with the artificiality of the mechanics themselves.

And all that's left is to hope that alternatives will still be available.

Easier to just carry the groceries in my arms, the last accessory I'd need for people to fully think of me as a serial killer would be random lenths of rope...

You can obfuscate it so that people won't even know what they're eating, though... Wouldn't be the first, or the last time... All you need to do is get the meat into the country, then throw it in the shredder and process it until it is unrecognisable.

Edit: or not even that, just slap whatever label you want on it. It's not like the average consumer will do a chem test on every cut of meat they purchase.

I hate these... as a tall person, I have a choice between cosplaying as Quasimodo, or letting that thing wreck my boot heels...

Yyep!=))
