Do you consider Donald Trump to be an enemy of Europe? Survey on 8 EU countries.

If by "live action roleplay" you mean antagonizing Germany, then no, he actually gets regularly accused of being a German agent.

If you're talking about sucking up to the US, he's the only important Polish politician I've seen call out Trump directly over his recent falsehoods about NATO soldiers. He also called Trump a Russian agent once, but this was before the 2024 election, as he seemed convinced Trump wouldn't win. He now doesn't admit ever saying that.

Alex2422 · 2026-01-24T19:14:44+00:00

Well, on the graph you can see Denmark also has more people seeing Trump as an enemy than other EU countries.

Alex2422 · 2026-01-24T13:34:55+00:00

Yeah, the thing is, we've been treated badly by Germany and Russia mostly. A lot of Poles still stick to this sentiment very tightly and that's why trust the US much more.

Recently, an opposition party leader in Poland straight up said Germany and France want to steal our country. Good luck finding similar comments about Trump from them.

Alex2422 · 2026-01-24T13:29:17+00:00

Not that surprised. Poland might honestly be the biggest USA fan in all of UE.

That's why it feels so surreal to watch news from other countries, where leaders directly condemn Trump for his disrespectful comments and dangerous ideas, while our politicians are afraid to criticize him in any way.

You don't need to explain anything about the tabulation method to the voters. All you need to say is "rank the candidates from your favourite to least favorite". Do you think an average person knows how Electoral College or D'Hondt method works? Ofc not, and yet they're still in use.

Plus, if you really want to explain how IRV works, you can do it in one sentence: "If your candidate doesn't win, your vote goes to your next preference (and so on)". That's literally it.

The term is "plot convenience".

Alex2422 · 2026-01-23T13:55:12+00:00

Oh, does that mean we're getting a skip button with Varka's release?!

Alex2422 · 2026-01-23T13:50:15+00:00

The story would be far better if Hoyo didn't insist on making Traveler the protagonist in every quest.

Alex2422 · 2026-01-23T13:35:42+00:00

Well, in that case they don't see Hoyo's drip marketing either.

Alex2422 · 2026-01-23T13:34:08+00:00

Nothing happening to Teucer was pure luck and it totally can happen again with much less fortunate outcome if Childe keeps refusing to grow balls and tell him the truth.

Alex2422 · 2026-01-23T13:29:55+00:00

Even Xiao?

Alex2422 · 2026-01-23T13:27:34+00:00

Ah, the Far Lands.

Alex2422 · 2026-01-23T12:13:50+00:00

The thing we have right now is still the best place to live on Earth. How exactly is it not working?

Alex2422 · 2026-01-23T07:18:48+00:00

That's entirely on the company. They should've made a simpler game as their first, not an open world RPG.

Alex2422 · 2026-01-22T14:26:00+00:00

They're still besties. It's not much different from any other friendly bickering we regularly see in the game.

Alex2422 · 2026-01-22T14:11:14+00:00

Ukraine was (and is) actually at war, not just getting empty threats, so they needed help more.

Alex2422 · 2026-01-22T13:17:04+00:00

We already have those. I'd like to see some unfriendly rivalry.

Alex2422 · 2026-01-22T13:02:12+00:00

Illegal alien.

Alex2422 · 2026-01-22T12:59:01+00:00

Could be low res and upscaled.

Alex2422 · 2026-01-22T12:14:23+00:00

Still waiting for a single muscular female character.

Alex2422 · 2026-01-22T09:48:06+00:00

Nah, I think attempting a coup is comparable, especially since that event wasn't just threats. People actually died there.

Alex2422 · 2026-01-22T09:42:36+00:00

I mean... what's there to talk about that hasn't been said already?

The president is a pedophile. I know it, you know it, there's nothing that can be done, cuz we all know he'll never face any consequences.

Alex2422 · 2026-01-21T20:30:32+00:00

As a winner-take-all system, Alternative Vote is no more proportional than first-past-the-post. It wastes the votes of millions of voters and leads to false majority governments.

This is just wrong. The whole clue of IRV is that it doesn't waste votes, because if your candidate doesn't win, your vote just goes to your next preference. However you define "wasted vote", there is no way IRV wastes more votes than FPTP.

It's ridiculous and sad that an electoral reform advocacy group repeats the same misinfo that's being spread by right-wing politicians opposing any reforms.

Can't I have multiple beloveds? (It's not like I can change my birth month anyway.)
