It’s totally crazy how single polls are considered newsworthy. Aggregate polling had him bottoming out at 39.3 or so, but he’s already moving back up and is over 40% again. E.g. https://www.natesilver.net/p/trump-approval-ratings-nate-silver-bulletin So sure, his ratings are very low right now, but it’s just random chance that a few polls were significantly below 40%.
Frist, campaign funding needs to be capped and be limited to individual donations. But then: there are as many models of democracy as there are democratic countries. It might be useful to compare them and see what model you could work towards. In research, the Nordic states almost always come out on top. So have a look at what they are doing for inspiration.
33%? Does that refer to a single poll? Now that Gallup has bent the knee, I follow the aggregated results at https://www.natesilver.net/p/trump-approval-ratings-nate-silver-bulletin , where he is still close to 40%. But I’ll take any hopium I can get!
Lots of the collateral damage affected plenty of civilians then. I must admit I’ve saw so much about that aspect that I assumed it was intended.
The usa shouldn’t have started this war, for sure, but that’s a pretty heartless statement.
Lots of collateral damage then
The strikes against Qatar and UAE are hardly military in purpose though…
I don’t think untrained violent people will respond less violently when the likelihood of violence against them increases. I would say y’all need to build barricades to safeguard neighborhoods, you need masses that can only be mowed down, and need to avoid being easily singled out. Using the car you are sitting in as a barricade is incredibly dangerous because there is a track record of using vehicles as weapons.
How would you say the OSM editor is better in CoMaps than Osmand?
If they really felt desperate, wouldn’t they show just a bit more flexibility in their demands?
That’s a five year old video.
How anyone that lives in a country that has HOAs can unironically call it “land of the free” is beyond me
It looks like they’re just going to lobby trading partners to please direct (actual) retaliatory sanctions towards products from red states, not their state. In general, I like that idea. But maybe now any excemptions for blue state products should come with a promise to actually fight the incipient fascist government…
Github was bought in 2018. For all we know, OP could have been 10 at the time
There’s two positives for her resigning:
So now that is in the hands of the folks who use the OSM data. It’s in a somewhat exotic tag, so by default any map that uses OSM will still show Gulf of Mexico, unless they actively intervene to show Gulf of America. So if you see an OSM based map showing the latter, you know they made that choice consciously.
OpenStreetMap also needs to deal with this kind of thing. In this case, several people already tried to add it to the map in some form of other, but generally not as something to actually be shown. There is a looong discussion about it here https://community.openstreetmap.org/t/gulf-of-america-gulf-of-mexico/124571 . General opinion is that it is (or will be) “the official name that the US says it has”. In OSM you can invent tags for anything, so an object can have many names. Done like this, anyone using the data can still choose to give precedence to any “official US names that are not in common use yet”. Later it may be upgraded ased on if it becomes a common alternative name, just in the US, or maybe beyond. All those options can have their own special tag. And only very motivated data users will ever show it to map users. But if you do a search for Gulf of America, you will be able to find it.
I knew it sounded familiar. It even has a name and a wikipedia article https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Planck’s_principle
Well it is nice to realise that despite putting in the work, it is a huge privilege to have the freedom to be born in a time and place where you actually get the chance to realise your potential - instead of having suffered abuse at home, being sent to a farm or factory at 8 years old or simply dieing from diarrhoea. So yeah, sucks if people want to be thankful to god for that, but being thankful for what good exists in the world is a positive thing.
