We really need direct democracy with people free to vote on issues themselves

Nah, it would be abused. Politicians, as much as we all hate them, work as a kind of filter ensuring that proper processes are followed. Passing laws is not easy, that's why professionals do it. A referendum from time to time is a good thing but if people were to directly vote on all the issues they would quickly get tired and some minority with agenda would start sneaking in their laws everywhere.

As to getting different voices in you can also have expert groups and public consultations. I definitely see the benefits of electing minority representatives but I think focusing on sex/race like that is still pretty silly thing to do and hope one day we'll grow out of identity politics.

Why not just put the movies on a SD card? The price is similar and the card is smaller. That's what games do now, right?

Personally I think it will be like Beggars and Choosers.

Everyone seems to miss the "higher expenses related to collision and damage" part which is actually the most important part.

Why would electric cars crash more often than ICE cars? EV and ICE cars should drive exactly the same. I know my electric Berlingo drives exactly the same as ICE Berlingo.

Maybe the reason is that some popular EV brand makes cars that are dangerous to drive by installing non-standard steering wheels, turn signal switches and touch screens instead of buttons (not to mention too powerful engines)? If that's the case it says nothing about EVs in general and definitely doesn't indicate there are 'hidden' costs to EV ownership. Just don't buy bad EVs only because they have more range.

Of course people are not doing that, I didn't say they do. I just hope one day we'll go beyond the 'we need 5 men and 5 women because equality' silliness. The gender should be irrelevant but sadly we're still at the 'OMG! First women PM! Such progress!' stage. Poland had a token female PM and banned abortion couple years later. Spain never had a female PM and recently instituted menstruation leave. Policy is what should matter.

iced? Interesting. I though it's still pretty experimental. There's no official documentation yet, right? When I was looking at Rust UI libraries Yew and Leptos looked more mature. I guess you're confident iced have enough backing and isn't going anywhere.

How do you find working in Rust on a bigger UI project? Any issues?

How about getting over the sex of the politicians and just voting based on their programs? Too strange?

My guess is that they will what any other city council would do. I don't think being all-female will suddenly change their politics. While it's an interesting fact I would say that expecting all-female council to govern differently than other councils is a little bit sexist.

Americans: USA is the greatest country in the world. Behold our God given rights and freedoms! We're number 1! We're exceptional! U! S! A! U! S! A!

Europeans: Actually it's pretty arrogant to think your country is so much better than all the other. All countries have flaws and strengths. For example USA have problems with gun violence and healthcare.

Americans: How dare you make fun of our national tragedies! Can't you see we're suffering here? You're making fun of dead children! You MONSTERS!!

Not that's a meme. Which template should I use?

Sadly only the tiny part actually interacting with foreigners online realize this and even they react with anger.
