Botanically, yes. From a culinary perspective, no.

vonxylofon,

Nah, the first Iron Man still holds up well.

vonxylofon,

Not a single Triffid reference? I am disappointed.

vonxylofon,

On the internet, nobody knows you’re one of these: 1000034683

Looking at all the cars in the socialist countries… Huh.

vonxylofon,

Who says you can’t eat the car? Definitely not this guy: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Michel_Lotito

vonxylofon,

Not any more, actually. Francis rides in the open.

vonxylofon, (edited )

He did say something to that effect, yes.

vonxylofon,

Hundred and eight what?

Hundred and eight speed.

vonxylofon,

The stated problem is actually more pronounced with a larger number of parties than 2. If the governing party is strong, but doesn’t have majority, and the opposition is split, they usually need to trade favours with the opposition parties to get anything done.

vonxylofon,

Yep, same in the Czech Republic.

vonxylofon,

That could be pretty easily abused, imagine, by straw men siphoning state money without any prospect of winning.

At least in Europe, there are campaign financial limits so things don’t get too out of hand. Corruption, therefore, is done via other means.

vonxylofon,

Yep. I’ve been here for one day and I’m already talking in conversations. Took me two weeks to get anywhere on Mastodon. (And exactly the same on Reddit and Twitter before… the incidents.)

vonxylofon,

Thanks! I’ll check it out.

vonxylofon,

I think it’s not even about shadowbanning, I think it’s about Twitter not giving you anything to interact with (a discovery mechanism). Reddit/Lemmy has a list of subreddits/communities that have a clear focus, so you can jump right in and engage. Neither Twitter nor Mastodon have that. There, you need to find people who generally post/share things that interest you, but that’s a lot more difficult.

vonxylofon,

Hogwash! I love getting new socks. Last year, I got bright green socks with avocados on them. Glorious.

vonxylofon,

Quite strange when you know the scene.
