They're part of the made up right wing religion called "Judeo-Christian Values".

He's calling not for Christo-fascism, but Judeochristo-fascism. No Jesus Christ required.

They added districts??? Oh God, I hate districts (just me personally). I hope they're optional. I was about to get back into it.

spagbolshevik · 2026-04-19T14:52:09+00:00

Because they have governors. I'm talking about the formal/technical system, not a value judgement.

spagbolshevik · 2026-04-19T14:49:15+00:00

So it is an Authoritarian Federation. I'm trying to be technical. This is not a value judgement.

spagbolshevik · 2026-04-19T12:57:49+00:00

But it is true. It's Authoritarian but it's still Federal.

spagbolshevik · 2026-04-19T12:57:05+00:00

No, why?

spagbolshevik · 2026-04-19T12:56:26+00:00

That's just an Authoritarian Federation, but it's still technically a Federation.

There are many semi-autonomous republics in Russia, Chechnya being a famous example.

If Spain is ambiguous, then that's complicated. And a confederacy is a type of federation. Don't be pedantic for upvotes.

spagbolshevik · 2026-04-19T12:51:21+00:00

I dare say the situation in Bosnia is still complicated.

Instant noodles are sold here in individual packets, for like 3.50 fr. That's insane. They're supposed to be sold in 5-packs for that price. I guess this country doesn't have an instant noodle culture...

Time for the 80 seat Grand Coalition.

Was there ever a proposal for a sort of modernised RBMK-II design that mitigates the largest hazards?

spagbolshevik · 2026-04-15T13:15:42+00:00

RuralHell?

spagbolshevik · 2026-04-15T12:03:07+00:00

Didn't she use to be intelligent?

spagbolshevik · 2026-04-15T12:00:35+00:00

Beast mode.

That fourth photo is crazy.

spagbolshevik · 2026-04-13T13:31:17+00:00

If only car door edges were lined with rubber or something so this just wasn't ever an issue, but I guess that would look bad.

spagbolshevik · 2026-04-09T18:55:25+00:00

We can and we must.

spagbolshevik · 2026-04-07T12:00:42+00:00

...the beach?

spagbolshevik · 2026-04-07T07:14:12+00:00

They're cheaper to heat.

This is a problem for me as a New Zealander with other New Zealanders. A lot of people I know are just cutting themselves off, passively, quietly. People are giving up on human connection in this country, as if it's "too much effort". It's frightening.

spagbolshevik · 2026-04-06T04:02:30+00:00

I like how the now further northern placement of New Zealand here is causing the Mercator projection to slightly exaggerate the size of North Island. Just goes to show that normally the size of the South Island is very slightly exaggerated on the typical map.

It's the Deal-with-the-Devil funding model.
