Nato is a group of independant, mostly democratic states. Nato generally doesn’t kill people, because it doesn’t attack, does not do genocide and most relevant for the meme, it doesn’t redraw state lines.

If Nato would do several of those things, you might have a point, please prove me wrong.

Also the second pic is ridiculous. What even do the Nato-emblems mean? It cant be singular bases or single memberstates. So what is it? And what about russias allies, why arent they painted/highlited? If one would want to show the big allies, the BRICS+ states could be marked. But like this, the second image is worthless.

I miss small phones

Technically we have a open-list party-list proportional representation for the Nationalrat (one part of the legislative on federal level, like the congress in the US). This is the most interesting one in my opinion. Other parts of the political body do have slightly different systems I think, the Ständerat (kinda like the senate) even has a majority system.

I went down a YT rabbithole, because of your comments :D Short, kinda maths-video about different votingsystems: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PaxVCsnox_4 A longer math/maths-history video by veritasium: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qf7ws2DF-zk More about the tradition and culture in swiss politics (altho a bit romantic i must say) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qQ5pmW3l8tU

6 W of power but no AND and OR The energyprices have to go up some more for me accept that trade off…

That sounds fun

Yes, 3 branches (just the standard separation of powers) and 3 “levels” (with the judicative branch 4 depending on the case). Swiss and US system is very similar. The big and important difference is the election system. The US has the shitty system that forces a two-party-situation over the years. We have a more proportional system, where you vote for a party (actually a list by a party but thats a detail) and for candidates. Then the seats are spread to the parties, if your chosen party doesnt win a seat, your vote isnt wasted (which would then require strategic voting which leads to two parties). Your vote is passed on to another party. Which one that will be, your party decides. So if you vote for “radical-left-party” and its members, this vote isnt wasted bit goes to another leftleaning party, which has a “Listenverbindung” (Joint up lists) with the “radical-left-party”.

And of course we have direct democracy (voting often on singular laws, also statewide/canton/communal) and we dont have gerrymandering but just the normal division into “Gemeinden” (literally “community”, which would be a county? or village/city in the US).

I dont want to be obnoxious or condecending, but i think the swiss has one of the best democratic systems while the US has a very bad system considering the US is known to be democratic and even the birthplace of democracy. It turns out that later updates to democracy were needed. :D

I am swiss and I know how our system works pretty well, I am a teacher

Hasnt Microsoft built a Nuclear power plant? There was a post about it in the last few days

Several people already got arrested, as the capsule hasnt gone through the medical/clinical testing required and because the gas used, nitrogen, isnt allowed to be used in this way medically. A few days ago a Bundesrat (member of the federal executive) just called it illegal. Now we will see, if the (cantonal, then probably the federal) judicative branch says the same.

Great! Like this, transcripts should be published more often

MB is bullshit, the big five is the one mostly used by researchers. Altho as it is psychology, you shouldnt expect 100% on validity or other indicators

Thousands of peoples were wounded. And by the nature of a pager you do wear them when out and about and not only at the HQ

Jellyfin + Symphonium as a client on android 💯

Switzerland has a good system, just copy it. (Yes, not the same country, size difference and so on and on but its still a thousand times better than the US system)

A good image to have if a discussion about “men in women sport” breaks out. I heard so often: if XY then Man.

The whole spectrum of intersex is too complicated for the average today joe…

And then comes the even more complex topic of transgender people and gender affirming care/therapy, which can be a totally separate thing besides the intersex-biology-discussion

I hear that public trackers are pretty good. But if you have a lot to upload, getting into a private tracker gets you a lot of credit, so you can download more high quality stuff.

Alway speaking of averages in the following paragraph:

On average the reaction time of women is a bit slower than the one of men. But age plays quite a role as well, which doesnt seem to hinder Alonso or Bottas too much. Strength is probably not a problem I guess, maybe female drivers have to train a bit more? Else women have the advantage to men as they are smaller and lighter.

But of course the world top drivers arent average, so the question is a lot harder. There are very fast reacting women, small and light men, so no one knows.

Maybe the solution is to treat everyone the same and not hinder women just because of their gender. Then we will see who wins. But when the equal chance is reached, no one knows.

Have you heard of the separation of powers?

Same. Wish the world had already adopted ipv6
