Have you tried “US Presidents”? With a 10% chance of getting assassinated on the job?

In a nutshell, yes. Stock Windows has become even more useless over the years, and installation has obviously become a pain in the ass. I don’t envy our IT department.

Well, looks like Aldi is taking care of Walmart, so it might be a passing issue.

Welcome to the Lawless States of America.

It is only a mistake if they don’t resist hard enough.

When I first went to an Indian restaurant, they asked whether we want “European” or “Indian” spice level food. One of us was brave, he ordered Vindaloo, “Indian”. We others stayed “European”. And he huffed, and he puffed, …

Define nudity. I some places, topless is not considered nudity. In some places, an uncovered female face is considered nudity and punished harschly.

If you put out that cutlery, what did those friends do to you, and why do you think you should hate them that much?

Or, in other words, complete surrender of Canada.

I don’t. I just won’t let you into my kitchen, you heretic!

Another war in the making…

“Authentic” Ragu Bolognese is a difficult field. Basically every family recipe, even in Bologna, differs. You can start wars over the question whether milk / cream should go in or not.

Nope. Abolishing instead of reforming the Senate would make the states meaningless. If that is what you want, OK. But you need to understand what you demand.

Abolishing the electoral college is a good idea, indeed. But then it would be wise to reform the office of the president, too, and split it into two jobs, like many other democracies do: a head of government for the “business” end, and a head of state for ceremonial duties.

And while you’re at it, get rid of that stupid “first part the post” system. That’s what rode the US into the deep shit creek in the first place.

There recently was an article in The Street about multinationals complaining about people not having enough money to spend on their products.

So basically, Capitalism is running out of peoples money right now.

Try Deepl for autotranslate if all you knew so far was Google translate or similar. They are playing in a completely different league with regards to translation quality.

No. The point is to give participation to a) the people on a federal level, I.e. the House of Representatives, and b) the states, especially with regards to laws that directly effects the states, I.e. the Senate.

These are two different kinds of representation and are important to strike a balance between State and Federal powers.

Abolishing the Senate would disempower the states and turn the US into a centrally managed government without any input or representation on the state level.

The current method of having two senators per state (or two electors per state extra for the presidential election) is crap. On that behalf I am with you. But the bicameral system as such is important, and should be fixed instead of abolished.

Don’t abolish it, just give it representatives in relation to the states’ number of citizens. The difference from the House would still be that they would represent the states. In some countries, such a Senate’s members are actually bound to vote according to their states’ parliaments decisions.

So they ran out of crimes to solve and were bored to death, or what?

Has anyone tried “I am alone with a Republican”, and “I am female and alone with a Republican”?

Any problems with that?
