There should be absolutely no playing nice with these people.

Well put, that’s exactly what I mean.

For some people sex is a minor thing, what matters is emotional closeness. You can have closeness without sex.
I think you can find someone without too much sex easily, I hear all over the place that men are actually tiring of sex just as much as many women are.
The main difference being that women often think it’s their fault when men don’t want to have sex.

WTF? blocked.

Authoritarian means it is NOT a democracy, which was the point.

That’s completely irrelevant, the argument was democracy vs authoritarianism.
You seem to have some sort of attention problem.

If you are referring to South Africa you are a moron.
Because South Africa was very much an authoritarian leadership, and ruled by a white minority by force.
WTF is that reference supposed to show that does anything but support democracy?

No that all the problem you mention are worse in totalitarian countries.

Why do you first support my point, and then call me a moron?

Again with USA as the example, no other democracy had slaves like USA did.
On the other hand comparable stories to Stalin can be found in multiple autocratic systems.
Where USA is the exception as in exceptionally bad among democracies, what Stain did is commonplace among autocracies.

Please read my edited post.
And no I’m not anything remotely like a tankie, I am one who favor ACTAUL democracy, where among the best models we have running currently is the Scandinavian model.
A 2 party system can never be accepted as a functional democracy, also the level of corruption in elections is undemocratic. preventing people from voting and gerrymandering.
All those things detract from USA as a democracy.

You are delusional and create strawmen and then you think you have a superior view based on your delusions and false equivalences that have no basis in reality.

Compared to genocide by Stalin, ICE is peanuts.
But no it’s not justified, that still doesn’t make it an equal atrocity to what Stalin did.
Also USA is not a democracy, it is a deeply dysfunctional democracy. And In USA it can go 2 ways now, they either go full dictator, or if they go the other, these things will be softened.

official records of 799,455 executions (1921–1953),[8][9][10][11][12] around 1.5 to 1.7 million deaths in the Gulag,[13][14][15] some 390,000[16] deaths during the dekulakization forced resettlement, and up to 400,000 deaths of persons deported during the 1940s,[17] with a total of about 3.3 million officially recorded victims in these categories.

So kindly piss off with your false equivalences.

My issue is the claim that such atrocities don’t happen in democratic institutions.

But that’s the point, they don’t. Atrocities can happen, but not as bad as such.
Just give one example of a democracy where an atrocity remotely close to that happened.

Rear camera: Wide (main): 50 MP, f/1.8, 24mm, 1/1.56"

That’s not a very big sensor for a premium phone main camera.
Seems like we now get cheaper camera to compensate for more expensive SOC?

Display: 6.78" LTPO AMOLED, 1B colors, 165Hz, PWM

PWM at what frequency? PWM is awful if it is not very high frequency as it creates flicker in the display. The only advantage to PWM is that it is dirt cheap to make and very easy to work with from a hardware perspective.

Not exactly a phone I’m getting excited about. I would have preferred better display and a higher end Camera system, and then a slightly slower SOC.
High end SOC’s are so fast now, that they are not a real limitation in my use of a modern phone, even if they are not the top model.

Just look at the Pixel phones, their SOC is about half as fast as top Snapdragon and Dimensity , and AFAIK nobody I have heard of is complaining about them being slow. It only shows on benchmarks, but is irrelevant for 99% of users.

Edit PS:
The 99% number is a very accurate statistic number I pulled from my…
Oh never mind. I hope you get my drift.

Nope, not even acquainted.

For me I have a brother, and the family resemblance for both of us to our father is pretty obvious.
I also have never detected any inconsistencies in anything my parents have told me about when I and my brother were little.

Put a rainbow flag in the room where she sleeps. 😋
Maybe a picture of Reagan with quotes of how Russia is the enemy, and tariffs are bad for everybody.

You suggest librera instead of librera???

Also linking a download link directly instead of the page that describes it is bad form.

Women are as different as men are.
You may still meet someone who is right for you.
But you probably need to adjust your attitude.
