In case you weren’t making a joke: Double jeopardy

The page in this exact screenshot is pretty bad, but their design system is actually very well researched and implemented!

It’s very stripped down, but that makes sense considering where it is used (important information and forms).

Looks like a gov.uk site from the UI elements!

It would also be super impractical to have a fire going underneath the entire boiler 😅 Much better to send the hot air «through» the water in pipes.

So I guess it’s maga2028 now?

Yeah, the numbers for Norway are when the cars are registered, which happens when they arrive at the dealer. Since Tesla ships their cars in large batches, the numbers are difficult to compare.

I’m (unfortunately) certain that most of the decline in sales will disappear once the first big delivery of 2026 comes ashore.

Haha! Though they were probably more of a patriot than a drunk: Japan is the land of the rising sun, after all!

And by that I mean that the name of the country (in Japanese) literally means “origin of the sun”, and that the emperor is traditionally considered a direct descendant of the sun goddess.

TBF, “Asahi” is a better name for a newspaper than for a brewery 😅 (It means “morning sun” in Japanese)

Oh yeah, one is way better than the other! But the lack of actual representation is still creating an “us vs. them” mindset that is straight up ruining democracy.

It’s why ~40% of Americans didn’t vote in 2024.

Well, I’m sure that the first past the post voting system that created two giant parties pretending to each represent half the population, while in reality only representing slightly different billionaires, has something to do with that as well…

Well, that sucks 😅 Sounds like you should live in an apartment/condo! Still won’t escape the cleaning, though…

Doing something you don’t like for yourself feels quite different from doing it for someone else, though.

Most people who do something they don’t like for a living does that thing purely because it is the thing that makes some shareholder more money. All (or most of) the meaning has been sucked out, and that definitely has something to do with capitalism.

Of course we’ll probably never get to the point where everyone loves every day of their job, but injecting some value (that isn’t purely monetary) back into work would do wonders, IMO.

If you can’t see it, then that is your loss 😉

I think you’re wrong.

The glasses are absolutely smudged, but that is from the image processing on the phone. Low light most smartphones try to reduce noise by smoothing the picture, often excessively.

The text above the woman is not garbled nonsense, it says “ is biGGer”. The upper case G’s makes it look strange, but it is cohesive text.

The shoes look to be another smoothing artifact.

Cargo cult cat!

Indeed! And they do under representational democracies. In a community there will always be some sort of law or code, whether written or not, that some members of that community disagree with.

Absolutely agree! First past the post will always drift toward larger and less representative parties. Even proportional representation can have this tendency, but it is much more resilient.

This is exactly what happens with democratic societies

No. This is what happens when you have two sides, both too large to really represent anyone, battling for a sliver of majority using increasingly diverging views and then exercising as much power as they can before the roles flip again.

In an actual democracy representatives of the people, with many differing views, sit down together and decide case by case on a solution that most can be happy with.

Someone will always disagree with any decision when we live in a large society, but a functioning democracy is the closest thing we have ever come to making sure that as many as possible are happy (and more importantly get a say).

Haha, no worries! Just caught me off guard

I did not expect the, ahem, instructional images under the “purpose” heading 😅
