I do.

In fact I do most of the chores in my house because my wife’s hobby requires frequent absences.

In my opinion “I would cross border for better life for my children” is looked down because it lacks “patriotism” or whatever the call pointless nationalism nowadays. Personally if my country was in any danger of being invaded, you can find me and my family at the border faster than media can send their crew there to film it. And I say it while my country borders Russia.

The last part is not an intellectual, the last part is just depression nowadays.

Every group of nerds assumes average person knows more about their obsession…

My local counselors and mayors do not use english at all, so I know “political correctness” and “woke” only as english phenomena from media.

Personally I have mixed feelings.

On one side - I consider being polite to be basic decency.

On the other side - I feel like this “do not call it murder, call it unaliving” and such are just lies by omission of a word.

But doesn’t “politically correct” means not saying nasty truths? Like saying that Trump just “abused kids” instead “raped kids”.

Oh I know what they will do, they will tax the young more and “save” the old with the money

Then you are a robot

The Australian Subreddits got overrun by extremist right wing people who tend to be 20x louder than anyone else, and exaggerate everything.

I don;'t think this is just Australian issue

Where I live there are only two opinions about USA:

1. USA is shiny utopia where everyone is rich, and no hardship can be found.

2. USA is a dumpster fire no different from Russia or China.

American natives are just a funky idea from fantasy land for both sides.

Constant work on democracy is not really possible for people who already spend way too much time of the day surviving, working.

And those who don’t need to work to survive probably aren’t that interested in democracy working…

Interesting points, and while I am not convinced that all the far-right needs is just existence of “nasty foreigners”, I’d like to thank you for bringing this up.

Especially since the idea of “party going down and imploding under weight of it’s own corruption and incompetence” is something that in my country (Poland) happened already to all sides of political spectrum.

My personal opinion is that alt-right is rising world-wide because democratic governments forgot that the way we eradicated radical ideologies post-ww2 was through making life of average person bearable. Radical ideologies can’t find fertile ground among people who own their own homes, who can support whole family with a single job.

And if current solution to alt-right will be to just start wars, raise taxes and double down on policing… it will only give them more fuel.

As a fellow senior dev - I have lived through more “devs made obsolete” snake oil techs than fit on three bits.

Maybe get rid of parties altogether? They already have one representative per state, why not go with that and elect one of them a president?

No shareholders - no primacy. Just saying…

Damn, I must try that game

Honestly I don’t think it can. In USA there is this shit called “law of precedence” and also there is this precedence that means companies are liable in court if they don’t prioritize shareholder profit.

Any reform that could possibly work must probably start with outlawing stock markets and loans.

I cal bullshit on “Gamers wouldn’t put up with a two-nines system for a video game”

Elder Scrolls Online has a weekly scheduled outage for about 8h. Every monday. Players have been complaining about it for years, but game is still popular.
