A actually haven’t been back to Reddit, but that sounds about right.

A good chunk of NIMBYism falls under there too. Middle-class Karen doesn’t want cheap apartments or a homeless shelter anywhere near her, but has no better suggestions. If she wins and you’re one of the people who needs that, it leaves you in a weird Kafkaesque limbo where you’re told you have rights, but you’re not really allowed to exist.

That would be a galaxy brain 4D chess move. And pretty edgy honestly - that’s a lot of damage done just for the sake of political points.

I actually lean towards less-strategic, lower-pragmatism answers for this particular party. They have a reputation for blind partisanship.

It’s a good thought, but I’d take that bet with you. Houses can be remortgaged, or alternately converted to a rental while you get a second place. I suspect any bump is pretty small because people just continue to accumulate if they can.

Really? Do you have a link to bylaws or something?

A couple seems like plenty of notice to me under the circumstances.

You think everyone is on the same page about that? People hate on billionaires all the time, but seem to be way more nuanced about someone who just makes a lot from their actual job. (And mostly ignore or avoid people who make way less)

Flying short distances and ability to expand your neck like 4x also looks cool.

Formal coalition vs. informal support is a distinction without a difference, though.

Somebody’s always propping up another party if you’re Germany or Norway or Spain, though, or you don’t have a government. That’s what I mean. We have something like 2.5 parties, so we’re not used to it, but it’s how it’s “supposed” to work.

You can always find a smaller and vastly wealthier subset, right until you’re down to the single digits of people.

There’s no dividing line like some people imagine, though; it’s a continuous distribution that we’re all somewhere (lower) on. Probably because it’s produced by a random walk.

Wealth inequality is flashy and gets all the attention, but at least in the short term the income version hurts way more people.

Do not give them the satisfaction of being placed in the same category as their celebrity crushes. Assad is nothing like a goofy conspiracy theorist deep in the sheltered West.

Or ISIS, literally in the same UN-recognised borders at the same time.

I’m gonna chalk it up to this guy being a lawyer prosecuting a case.

There’s plenty of market-oriented or just straight-up elitist totalitarians to go around.

Yes, do nothing is an option too, of course. When this has come up on Lemmy, it’s usually because there’s an identifiable issue.

Personally, I’m not really in the market to refactor anything right now, this isn’t a practical question. Honestly there’s plenty of FOSS that hasn’t been made the first time.

Well, memories tend to be short in politics, and even then it’s only credibility-damaging if it gets called. If it was the conservatives I’d pretty much just assume it’s a bluff.

How would you define “supportable”?

Most Devs hate working on other people’s code though, so prefer rewrites.

I now suspect this is basically where it’s coming from.

First sitting on the 27th, to be exact. Source.

Yeah, I’m panicking a lot less now. And depending on the exact rules JT could prorogue it even further.

Somebody in the media mentioned a Liberal leadership election; if he goes that way I’ll be “kalm” again.

You want a two-party system, then. That’s pretty much the only way for parties to never work strategically.

Like the cow one that’s just a sequence of differently-capitalised moos.

Old silicon, like IBM or something?
