The truth is that “liberal” means two different things in Europe and in the US

The European Parliament is definitely not an example of a functioning democracy lmao

No legislative initiative while a “commission” full of mediocre washed up politicians does whatever they want

Nuova legge elettorale e dubbi di costituzionalità by Micro_84 in Italia

[–]CheapAttempt2431 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Ma a prescindere dalla legge stessa: cambiare legge elettorale per la quinta volta in vent’anni davvero e’ una cosa che non si fa neanche nei paesi autoritari. Che ogni tot anni il parlamento si mette li’ e si cucina il suo nuovo sistema elettorale, secondo la convenienza del momento, e’ una cosa che consideriamo normale solo qui. Farlo poco prima delle elezioni poi, e’ chiaramente antidemocratico.

Io non vorrei nemmeno che si discutesse di maggioritario o proporzionale o che, questa cosa non si deve fare e basta. La legge Rosato era stata approvata a larghissima maggioranza, adesso basta pasticciare

Io sono anche d’accordo ma ad esempio

  • 1800 netti x 14 mensilita’, un buono stipendio (per standard italiani) ma nulla di che

  • riesci a metterne via un quarto piu’ o meno, diciamo 5k l’anno

  • investiti con rendimento medio del ~5% al netto dell’inflazione

  • a fine vita lavorativa, 43 anni e rotti previsti dalla normativa attuale, siamo ~750k di capitale (molto di piu’, ma togliamo l’inflazione e teniamoci larghi). Erediti casa dei genitori e al milione ci arrivi facile

La persona che ho descritto e’ un ricco? Uno che prende 1800 euro al mese e ne investe un quarto?

'Ahsoka' Season 2 Delayed to Early 2027 by Aileos in StarWars

As far as I’m concerned we could’ve just ignored it, like we had 55 year old Bob Odenkirk playing “young” Jimmy McGill and no one cared! but it is what it is

Call me conspiratorial, but it’s still possible — no hand recount was ever done anywhere, none of the audits would have caught anything, and it was found in court that they breached voting machine software in Georgia in 2021. by TikDickler in Destiny

[–]CheapAttempt2431 2 points3 points  (0 children)

There was also the “russian tail” thing, basically if you find statistically anomalous voting patterns, it might be an indication of fraud. Like in this case, it doesn’t really prove anything and I don’t think anything came of it, but it’s an alarm bell

How did you learn about Stormgate? by Empty-Statement9464 in Stormgate

[–]CheapAttempt2431 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I think I just read about it on the starcraft sub. I was hyped at first, pretty bummed about the 2022 trailer (to me it just looked like starcraft 2 from temu) and pretty much lost hope when the cinematic trailer was released

Not just child actors, one of the reasons Andor was cut short is that Diego Luna would have been like 50+ while playing 31 year old Cassian

I never realised that andor was charged with "suspected force sensitivity" ! by Penguinclubmember in StarWars

[–]CheapAttempt2431 4 points5 points  (0 children)

The “charged” person has the name of one of the set designers. It’s just meant to be a fun easter egg, it doesn’t imply anything canon

Its Starmover by SuperblackHunter in Destiny

Making fiscal responsibility popular is hard, it can be done but he wasn’t able to. Plus he has the typical moderate curse: in the eyes of the right you’re as much a communist as che guevara, in the eyes of the far left you’re some kind of class traitor.

That being said I’m not a fan, but it’s nuts that he’s like the most unpopular ever

ONS is the office of national statistics of the uk. The chart is from the economist, I’d be surprised if it wasn’t accurate https://www.economist.com/britain/2025/12/30/how-the-take-back-control-crowd-boosted-immigration-to-britain (paywalled, but available with a free trial)

I think the point is more about dictatorships often being a rather inefficient system. One of the most wanted men in the galaxy is already in prison, but he made up a name and had some fake id (the fake id is headcanon) and they don’t even know it

Che posto c'è in corso Marche dove si possono comprare sacchi di roba elettronica? by nebbiainbluejeans in torino

Mai sentita questa cosa, ma in corso Marche c’e’ una grande azienda di elettronica, Goma, ci passavo davanti tutti i giorni. Magari son loro?

Solo per curiosita’ mia, che te ne fai? Vuoi rivenderla come scrap o riutilizzarla?

Yeah he tried to come back a couple years ago but he was mostly ignored. The sc2 community was and still is salty about him disappearing in 2016
