In my country they send us a letter in the mail. We show them the letter at the polling station and they ask for our birthday to verify and that’s that

That’s a crazy amount of money.
My dad died earlier this year and my mom paid over USD 6.000 for the wake, cremation, gravesite etc. I thought that was a lot of money for a completely average and modest service.
I’ve never understood why dying has to be so expensive. I think it is kind of offensive that they charge you even for a cremation and an unmarked grave. We are all going to need our earthly remains disposed of sooner or later and the cemetery and the crematorium are already both public property so what’s the point in charging people? It’s not like you can just go without. I can accept charging people if they want to keep the gravesite after the urn/coffin has decomposed or if they want cemetery staff to keep the gravesite instead of doing it themselves but the basic option should be a public utility like parks or libraries.


I don’t care what happens to my body after I die
There’s your answer. You don’t care but he does. Let him do it if it gives him peace of mind.
I’m sorry Kyle, beating a diesel generator with a hammer is not going to help much with fixing the power grid. Also, you’re holding that hammer wrong.


Anti speech to text Aktion. I refuse to talk to the machine that lies to you like if it was human.


Or how Lukashenko has been disappeared after meeting Putin, only to show up on a state visit to China.


Liberal lack of object permanence, Korean style: If mommy put her hands over her face so I can’t see her it means that Kim Jong-Un has executed her.
On the other hand, adults getting ID’d for Palantir purposes sucks.
What do you mean? Handing over a detailed registry og millions of people’s political opinions, sexual preferences and medical histories to a fascist oligarch with a creepy Messiah complex is a small price to pay to make it harder for 16 year olds to look at titties.


They found out they were much more popular with people who doesn’t want to take very bitter medicines

I’ve met socialist people on the far right

You make no sense. Please elaborate.
Most new construction these days is so good damn ugly. They threw up some new high-rise in my city a couple of years back. It is square (apparently the only shape taught in architecture school these days), way too tall, and clad in brown sheets with windows slapped on at random all over the place. Because fucking up the where the windows go is about the only tool in the box for architects to impart soul onto the oversized refrigerators they keep putting up.
I kinda of like cheap concrete construction from the latter party of the 20th century better. It is not exactly pretty but at least it is honest.


Democracy is when the majority of voters hate the government and the greater that majority is the more democratic it is.
Also, are commie blocks really that much uglier or built worse than comparable social housing constructed in the west during the same period? Isn’t that just how you built cheap housing at the time?


Imagine how the media would report on a Muslim community protection volunteer group: “Islamic Sharia Gangs Terrorise London!”
You’re giving the liberals too much credit by saying they admit that electoralism has never worked.
The liberal position is not only that electoralism works but that it is the only thing that works.
My partner, who knows more about textiles and washing than I, has always claimed that liquid detergent is much better than washing powder and has always insisted that we get the liquid.
