Is this what they meant that North-Korea is entering the war? Will the Axis of Dictatorship go all out?

It may not be the person you voted for, but there is someone that’s supposed to represent your community.

That's a weird take on politics. "Hitler comes from my place so he represents me."

As a non-EU European I vote on country politics at the national elections, and local politics at the county elections. That way I have local representation in local matters, and national representation at national matters.
The current right wing surge in Europe is mostly because people don't like the amount of Muslim immigrants and most countries have only far right parties that rides on that matter. Plus Russian influence I assume.

You do not get a good political landscape with one seat districts that can even be gerrymandered. Every fucking US state house is divided in DEM and REP, that's not healthy.

In a binary system they are sadly still better than the other choice. Vote at every instance for greener alternatives inside the democrats and election reform.

You dont even get a representative by 2., 3. and 4. candidate votes in the 1 seat districts. Your vote is actually worth zero if it doesn't win. My 7th party vote goes towards a party representative that can voice my cause. My vote is not lost at all.

I think it would be more effective to start an election reform faction inside the Dems rather than abstain the vote for democracy against dictatorship.

One of the parties CENCORED the EPA from using the word climate change and dropped the USA out of the accords.

When the options are democracy or dictatorship and you choose not to vote... it's kinda gross. I get that you got a failure of a system over there, but the fight to update your democracy should be done after you choose to have one.

Three moose was seen on the roof of a supermarket. One calf is suspected fleeing the scene while the mother died jumping down, as did the last calf seen on the video.

Gender information and perceived quality: An experiment with professional soccer performance (www.tandfonline.com)

Whether one looks at revenue, investment or coverage, men’s sports do better than women’s. Many assume that absolute differences in quality of athletic performance are the driving force. However, the existence of stereotypes should alert us to another possibility: gender information might influence perceived quality. We perform an experiment in which 613 participants viewed clips of elite female and male soccer players. In the control group, participants evaluated unmodified videos where the gender of the players is clear to see. In the treatment group, participants evaluated the same videos but with gender obscured by blurring.
Using a regression analysis, we find that participants rate men’s videos higher – but only when they know they are watching men. When blurring obscures the gender, ratings for female and male athletes do not differ.
We discuss implications for research and the sports industry.

[Critique] Skyrim is a great open world game, but what could be done differently? (lemmy.world)
 

I have some points to make myself:

Immersion

  • The map, which is a satellite/god view, rips you out of character. Paper maps keep more mystery.
  • The quest icons that it relies on should be changed for better quest directions.
  • Seeing enemies' exact health (and name) is also not great for immersion. More visual/audible damaged states is better.

RP

  • Very few choices are made in the quests, instead one has to be in character by choosing what quests one embark on. It would be great to have some conversational options with consequences. Relations are important in RP.
  • Few people acknowledge you, to the degree you don't actually feel that you are saving anyone unlike in Oblivion. IDK if it's the voice actors or characters or that I haven't got to actively save anyone, except DLC Serana. There's that guy in the web that dies. In Oblivion there are monks fleeing towards you for help and more noticeably the knight in the Oblivion gate. I miss such moments.

So we're getting some of that denial of reality onto Lemmy (lemmy.world)
 

People denying realities like anthropogenic climate change. I can respect opinions, like applying full human value to an undeveloped fetus, but the straight up denial of what is verified truth I can't even tolerate. It's false. It's lies. It's brainwashed tribalism. And they are gonna dig their tribal community hole and stew in reactionary rage and fear with their incoherent arguments whilst following their strong leaders, because gods forbid they are wrong on anything. No, truth itself is gonna bend around the word of dear leader.

The hateful cult newspeak is also rubbing me, but the denial of reality is the killer. And the mindnumbing memes that try to outwit with one-two sentences on comprehensive subjects. Political memes are a blight upon humanity and should be banned. Thanks for reading my sour micro(?)thought!
