That's more or less what we have with Taiwan, and that's managed to keep the peace for over 50 years so far.




It seems to me that this is effective because "Will American forces open fire on Chinese troops if they try to invade Taiwan?" is still an open question, and the possibility that the answer is "yes" has thus far been enough to deter invasion. However, "Will American forces open fire on Russian troops if they try to invade Ukraine?" has already been answered in the negative.

An actual historian may correct me, but once upon a time in my AP History class going on 25 years ago, we learned that early on in America the President and the Vice President were directly voted on by the Senate, and could even come from different parties!




Before 1804 there was still the Electoral College system for electing the President, but whoever got the second-most electoral votes became the Vice President. The Twelfth Amendment was then made which gave us essentially the system we have today.

I know this because @aaa blocks me, though I know not why.




Same here, and I'm not even sure if I've ever had any interaction with him. I'm glad to know it's not just me.

I find cars to be tempermantally unpredictable while moving with a delicate sensuousness - obviously female coded.




I'm not sure if this is a typo, or the next front in the culture wars.

Those are still all "won't" instead of "can't", though. If a building that has stood and remained in constant use for centuries isn't up to code, the fault is with the code, not the building.

you can't exactly build that way anymore.




The laws of physics haven't changed. If your society isn't building beautiful buildings, it's not because it can't, it's because it won't (and the people who make those decisions have names).

Strategies like this won't work because the goal of trans women is to be accepted in all the same spaces that real women are, and if you give up the older definitions of "real women" and retreat to new ones, the trans movement will attack the new ones too. This is not a conflict that can be solved with clever wordplay.

His name is on most of the papers but that's standard for a PI and doesn't prove he did anything except fund the work.




Perhaps that should change, and perhaps one of the ways we could make it change would be to penalize the names on the papers for fraudulent work.

Mike Lynch and Stephen Chamberlain were co-defendents in a high-profile fraud case in the US. They were acquired in June.

I second the Starsector recommendation, although do note that the game is still in development and the main storyline is currently only half-finished.
