South Korea doesn’t count, you can’t invade yourself

North Korea and South Korea were separate entities following the surrender of Imperial Japan, with the North administered by the Soviets and the South administered by the US. North Korea 100% invaded South Korea, both with troops and supporting insurgency groups.

Nah, get with the times. FIFA only accepts bribes.

pingveno,

My point was more this. In the American Civil War, the South was a breakaway region. In the Korean War, the North and South were separate countries with separate governments. The government of the North invaded the South. Period.

Before this gets brought up, the governments of both countries were authoritarian turds.

I’ve had a good experience with 1Password, but I would absolutely look at the others if I was starting from scratch now.

One I wouldn’t recommend is LessPass. It is kind of clever, but it relies on doing a hash of a set of values (master key + site + username + counter) and then producing a password from the hash based on some password specifications. Neat, but that’s a lot to remember.

pingveno,

I can remember all too well how it went for the r/antiwork mod who was interviewed by Fox. Anything Lemmy does needs to be very deliberately planned by people who know what to say and not to say.

dog walker

Not even walker. They just had to mind the dogs, but they got fired from that job because they were sleeping on the job, then were bewildered that they got fired.

pingveno,

No. Use surveys and you know when a third party is ready.

It will never happen as long as FPTP is in place. You might get realignments, but it will always snap back to two major parties and a smattering of parties that can at most be spoilers. Fortunately the way the US’s voting works allows some gradual introduction of other systems like ranked choice that will not result in wasting votes.

Furthermore if both parties are neoliberal then wasting a vote is not such a big problem.

It is if you care about the actual tangible effects of your vote. Take LGBTQ rights. Democrats are, as a general rule, far better than Republicans. Wasting your vote because neither of the two significant parties does exactly what you want on some issues means hanging vulnerable groups out to dry. And for what, to feel emotional satisfaction?

pingveno,

There’s already a movement fighting to change how we vote. Governmental bodies on the local and state level are experimenting with various options. It’s slow, quiet, and not very glamorous, but real progress is being made.

pingveno,

Also, charging from the electrical grid means EV’s immediately get future improvements in CO2 usage when the grid improves its mix of power sources.
