I only mention it as for the last forty years or so every time that someone has said left or right I’ve twitched my hands to work out which one I hold a pen(cil) with. Takes less than half a second and I don’t need to look at them either. It’s not unique not immediately knowing which is which. Live with it.

Do you “write” with your “right” hand? That’s how I remember.

Another classic example of a technically correct answer missing nuance and context.

Whilst things do appear quite bleak across a lot of the European continent right now at least with a parliament that’s receptive to multiple parties there is a hope that one could quickly rise-up from the ashes of those defeated should the AfD (? + others) lurch the country far from the centre in the not too distant future. My confidence isn’t that high, but it is a possibility.

Nice. I was hoping it might look a bit like this. Thanks for researching / posting.

Someone downvoted you for spitting facts? Interesting. The two US parties are both right of centre, which gives an immediate imbalance. Small parties can have some bearing on their senior partners policies, like you say. I’m assuming Germany has local elections, mayoral elections etc. surely some of the smaller, more niche parties, pick up seats in those if they happen. Trends identified by smaller parties will get picked up by bigger parties, so they serve their worth there, too.

I think us non-USians are alluding to the clusterfuck of only having an either/or choice. That’s not how democracy works in most democratic places. There’s only ever two runners and riders that stand any real chance of winning over there. Most people would call that a fixed race.

Funny and true. I like it.

“poorly designed” is perhaps the weirdest complaint I’ve ever heard about London - those pesky Romans should’ve had a better vision for the city rather than the jumbled mess we have 2,000 years later.

Thought I was back on 9g*g for a hot minute…

I really miss the flashing LED from my BlackBerry Z30 - so long ago.

If a shitpost ever does meet your values I’d suggest getting some new values. It’s meant to be of trollishy poor value. That’s the entire point of shitposting. Why complain about it in a place specifically brought into being for the sole purpose of shitposting? It’s almost like they don’t understand the point.

It’s just sad. All this manufactured outrage at a deliberately spicy meme. Do people go to watch a horror movie and complain they got scared? No. You’d be an idiot for complaining.

Thank you, please. I’m here all week…

Hey, it’s the internet. Speak loudly and confidently - don’t waste your time researching “facts” to back-up your statement. /s

Imagine actually being offended by a clearly marked shitpost in a clearly marked shitposting community - the complete lack of critical thinking it entails blows my mind.

You, uh, do know what shitposting is? This kinda ticks the boxes required to be one; so seems to be in its natural habitat.

I’d like to tell you - but you might find the truth hard to swallow.

Dutch not Danish?

I’m not a fan either. Rewatched Trainspotting a year or two ago - much better than I remembered. Enjoyed Shallow Grave and 28 Days at the time. The rest I ain’t seen. Tried to watch the Beach but bailed after 20 minutes. Absolute junk.
