I think the political goal is to build a base in the Moon surface and start exploring resources. Whoever gets there first can claim territory and start exploring its resources, send material back to earth and sell it at a premium to other nations. It’s a colonialism mindset.

Do you still have income in dollars? How is the cost of living, healthcare, etc? How does retirement work for a foreigner that has Italian citizenship? Thank you.

Lemmy supports non-chronological feeds!

The main issue seems to be when you don’t have control over your feed.

Some will definitely try the “don’t do it”s. If that is you, please report back after your experiment… Better if you can record it.

I think most boys had phases with similar numbers.

Vessi makes hiking shoes but specializes in waterproof everyday footwear rather than hiking gear, so their hiking options likely don't match dedicated outdoor brands.

I've heard from dental professionals that the program isn't ideal, but it's a starting point. It only covers part of the costs, so dentists either have to absorb the remaining expenses or patients end up paying the difference. Plus, it only covers very basic procedures.

Has anyone been to this expo before? What was it like? I'd love to hear about your experience.

Hi all,

I’ve been thinking about the pros and cons of proportional representation (PR) versus first-past-the-post (FPTP) systems, and one issue keeps coming up that I’d like to get your perspective on.

In large countries where populations are concentrated in a few big cities, PR systems can weaken the direct link between voters and a single local representative. Unlike FPTP, where each constituency elects one MP who directly represents that community.

FPTP allows voters to elect an MP who is accountable to their specific community and can be voted out if they don’t perform well. This local accountability and clear geographic representation seems as a major advantage.

So my question to the Fair Vote community is: how do you weigh this trade-off? Is the potential weakening of local representation in PR an acceptable downside given the gains in proportionality and inclusiveness? Or do you think there are ways to design PR systems that preserve strong local representation while also improving proportionality?

Would love to hear your thoughts and any examples or experiences you might share.

Thanks!
