What counts as a Swiss person? Would children of immigrants growing up in Swiss society, going to Swiss schools, and speaking the national languages of Switzerland count?

Swiss people are more strict about this than other parts of europe, so they lean more toward swiss ethnicity, also being open to neighbouring citizens. Last being immigrants from outside europe.

More like Switzerland has direct democracy so they can make their voices heard.

Fandom sites continue to have one of the most unpleasant user experiences on the modern web, I just want to read the article without having my to watch 4 different video ads...

You're not using an ad blocker?

I get 2 popups even with a content blocker, it's pretty bad.

I'm not getting any kind of advertising (nor popups), using UBlock Origin on Firefox.

I get cookie popup, fandom survey popup, google login popup, using UBlock Origin on Firefox.

Interesting. Guessing you haven't enabled the optional block lists in UBlock Origin yet?

I learned to do that a while ago, after discovering not all of the block lists were enabled by default.


HOAs tend to manage this kind of thing


Lol, yes, subsidiarity.

HOAs, the lowest level of US government.


[flagged]


You've made about a dozen comments in this thread and they've escalated from "HOAs are unconstitutional" to "I'd rather shoot my fellow citizens than be drafted if weed isn't legal" to "driving high is fine, I've done it for decades." Each one a little more unhinged than the last, which is an accomplishment given where it started.

It reads less like a coherent political philosophy and more like someone who's been hitting the sacrament a little too hard this morning.

I smoke your "sacrament" daily, and cigarettes, and I'm terrified that people will think you're representative of either of those classes, or even a minority of them.

Most people in this thread broadly agree with you that marijuana should be legal. You're somehow picking fights with your own allies because they had the audacity to say they don't like the smell, or that driving impaired is bad. You're not defending freedom, you're being contrarian and hostile to anyone who doesn't arrive at your exact position with your exact intensity.

And the driving thing isn't a matter of opinion. "I've done it for decades and never caused an accident" is the exact argument every drunk driver makes right up until they do. Your anecdotal survival is not evidence of safety.


Does it have to be? I think the OP just wanted to share something they made


For patients. But maybe not to the companies which would have to pay for these large expedited trials


Could the prompt used to generate the art be considered human input, or is it that a human must to make some contribution to the art for it to be copyrightable?


The prompt itself is copyrightable but not the art/code generated from it.


I feel the perceived difficulty varies from person to person. Personally I found Mandarin much easier to pick up than German or Spanish, since you don't have to worry about conjugation.


Sure but this is like calling North Korea a democracy because the official name of the country is the "Democratic People's Republic of Korea"


China is a Communist country (in the Leninist sense), it's just that Shenzhen is a special economic zone. This allows them to keep their ideology while operating within the global market economy.

It's also why Democracy and unbridled Capitalism leaking into Hong Kong is problematic for them. Though, to be fair, Hong Kong is also why Shenzhen has been such a success for them.


"China isn't communist" is the biggest cope ever. It's simply an excuse to imply that their success is inherently related to their """"""embrace"""""" of """"""capitalism"""""" because some people cannot handle the fact that their system is dying, and want to point to the new world leader and imply that the very same system in their country applies to China. It simply does not. Marxism-Leninism is the guiding ideology of the Chinese Communist Party, and they are kicking everyone's ass.

It's essentially a dogwhistle to spot idiots. Anyone who says "China isn't communist" completely lacks even the most basic comprehension of ideological concepts.


Major world powers generally agree on the reality of climate change, the disagreement is on how to address it


The Goomba Fallacy strikes once again


Thanks for sharing the name of the phenomenon! I was not aware of it before.


This fallacy's pretty cool and first time I Heard of it!

Do you know other fallacies like this which are less known but as interesting (that you or others might know of) probably?
