They also watched the totally real results of a landscape reflecting Warsaw and Stalingrad in WW2.

It’s a very long list… And I was done on the toilet.

You see the same thing with most Male dominated institutions. Religions are some of the last holdouts excluding women from holding positions of power. Its easier to control people, when the one half controls the other half for you in the name of “culture”.

It’s not just muslims, you see it in Christian nationalism, pro-life movements, Mormonism etc. Women always have their “role to play”, while the men have no such restrictions.

It’s called exclusionary sexism. And men not being able to avoid sinful lust is just an excuse. The true purpose is to limit women’s social circles to male family members and other women. Isolate them in order to control them.

Since when is religion based on race?

There are forced labourers, and then there are slaves.

How about something like the following.

Each person only ever gets a single term. They earn a salary while in office. When the next election comes around, you get to elect their replacement, but you also get to vote on if the person in office, should earn a pension for the rest of their life. They need 50% to earn the pension.

In your second paragraph you touch on why term limits work. It makes sure that the candidates are more closely connected to the people they represent. An incumbent will lose their connection, the longer they are in office.

You are asking the wrong question.

Its not, “how did we get here” its “How do we get there”

They imposed term limits on comfortable politicians.

It’s one of the best things you can do to combat corruption.

He clearly did not get the memo on who they were going to scapegoat when they failed to track down the shooter.

I forgot that US cars are so massive that this is a problem.

Agree on the urban planning part.

This is a problem that requires zero AI.

A touchscreen kiosk is all you need to have the customer place their own order. You just need to have 2-3 ordering stations as they will be slower than trainer staff.

But shareholders demand AI

I draw a distinction between the lemmy community and the Palestinians themselves.

I have a lot more respect for the latter, than the former.

Saying stuff like this will get you banned in the palestine community. They are not big on self reflection that lot.

Oil price needs a boost again?

Well above the modern average of 50%

Also above the levels of the second intifada.

It’s similar to the chechen wars with Russia.

To be fair the previous CEO had the right plan. But his predecessors made sure the company would never be able to execute it.
