No country’s that great but Canada’s doing aight.

You can buy a castle in France cheaper than dump apartments in Canada, apparently it’s a popular vlog on YouTube.

Sweden

Lol.

Danish people rightly expect that immigrants should learn Danish within few years. Not like by law, but culturally.

I have very, very deep voice :)

Is calling someone Petal a slang or a regionalism? I, 30-something male, love doing that, petal.

Mancedes Benz is even better, you overcomplicated.

I pronounce it ta da~! , jazz hands included

Mo dao zu shi if you’re a fan of anime. It slaps.

No, but I’m banned from:

• r/republican for asking if they have ever heard about besieged fortress syndrome
• r/twoXchromosomes for telling a mod that she’s bullying a person who disagreed with her in a discussion about abuse - like an abuser would (the mod was trying to rally other people into joining her into cyberbulling)
• r/menslib for writing that being a victim is not an excuse in a thread about a 20-something yo woman grooming young girls into porn (she herself too was groomed).
• some political ones for “hate speech against Russians” - for cursing them and their invasion of Ukraine.

You’re the first person ever that was able to explain to me the difference and make me yearn for it.

I never considered it a democracy. It’s one-party system with two parties, what can be democratic about it? Smoke and mirrors.

My point is that the polls mentioned in the wiki seem to not be mentioning socio-economic systems, but the USSR country and it’s culture, as well as it’s dissolution (which was handled like shit in most of the countries AFAIK).

ex-Soviet citizens prefer Socialism.

That’s not exactly what the polls in the article were about though?

The article seems to be missing polling history from countries that don’t support it’s thesis, like Poland.

You might want to check out wikipedia.

That’s literally alternative medicine defined as per well, science. And you being silly doesn’t take from it. In the past, viruses were considered alternative medicine (quackery even), until they were proven to exist and work as in theory.

If you hit someone with a stick and that person gets cured of cold, it’s alternative medicine (you suspect there’s correlation or causation, and repeating the treatment during other incidents tends to have similar effect, i.e. when you hit more people they also get cured). When it’s proven that there’s causation between your action and the cure, then it’s medicine.

I’m not sure what are you trying to tell me.

That you agree with me that “alternative medicine = not proven to work, but I’m wrong somehow”?

That wiki article is very biased.

It also has problems distinguishing pseudo medicine (proven not to work) from alternative medicine (not conclusively proved or disproved).

I complain about popularity of fantasy romance vis a vis non-fantasy romance, and that now most published (or advertised) fantasy books are fantasy romance.

That genre is typically written for women, with female lead and is heavy in certain tropes.

That genre isn’t for me.

Am I a person that you’re ranting about OP? If not, could you point me to an article or opinion piece that you’re talking about, so I can read it and come back here?

I totally disagree.

Any and all form of MTX that do not expand significantly on the gameplay are satan’s piss. The mere fact that they exist mean that the company decided to increase the profits by putting more chum for the pigs (we are the pigs here) instead of working on something significant and bringing more value to the world. In the long run this is what’s destroying the industry because it promotes the enshittification mindset in the CEOs
