Considering last night's results, I don't expect NATO to be credible 4 years from now in c/noncredibledefense

[–] Resand 3 points 16 hours ago (1 children)

A lot of that is because rest of NATO is under US umbrella. Not like nukes are high tech at this point. Most of Europe could get nukes real fast if they wanted, but everyone has been better served by it being to many Nuclear Powers up to this point

Russia says Donald Trump's election win "useful for us" in c/world

It's not so much that it's only the "I can't in good conscience vote for this party, so it's better that the objectively worse party wins" crowd is worse then "I want the fascist to win" crowd. It's the first crowd might listen, while the second is a lost cause.

The issue is, there's not many places in the world that won't be affected :(

Sure, but there's also half of your countrymen to think about

Honestly at this point, in a 1 on 1 war between south and north, I'd wager on South. Will still suck super bad tho

It’s a gender election. It really is.

Is it tho? About 40% of GOP voters are women. Sure it's not 50%, but still much larger percentage than you'd think if it was a "war of the sexes" thing

US health system ranks last compared with peer nations, report finds in c/news

[–] Resand 19 points 1 month ago (1 children)

No no no, that's simply wrong.

US healthcare system is the best in the world, at doing what it's designed to do. Issue here is that they're measuring it on care provide vs cost, while the US system is optimized for profits.

If they instead ranked the results by which system generated the most private profits the US would be first.

A Trump dictatorship is increasingly inevitable. We should stop pretending. in c/politics

Central registered of all citizens with ID-number. I'm pretty sure your nation has it, as does mine. So the government knows where you live, and where you can vote. If you move these things are automatically updated. So it's easy to make sure everyone can vote in the "correct" ballots ect.

None of this is true with the US

Possibly it happens, but censored by the CPP

Review codes delayed by up to two days in c/baldurs_gate_3

[–] Resand 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

These are silly late codes for a game the size of BG3. That combined with the embargo being day of release, is not a great look. Probably mostly due to the scramble to get it out before starfield, but I am getting some Cyberpunk vibes from the whole thing...
