Culturally speaking, Australia, New Zealand, and to some extent the US and Canada are melting pots, with only a slight majority that could reasonably call themselves European. So they probably aren't European either.
my favourite weird internet lefty tick is slapping "so-called" in front of everything
just saw somebody say "the so-called west"

it's a bit late to post this now
Issues that are super important but don’t often get talked about during election cycles but you should, nonetheless, keep in mind when you vote:
Ending gerrymandering
Ending/reforming the electoral college
Term limits for the Supreme Court
Binding code of ethics for the Supreme Court
Reforming the party system
Campaign finance reform
Too often people only vote for short-term issues and short-term solutions so I want to remind you to think long-term

to what extent is the stroop effect just measuring reading text being a well trained task, while reading the colors of words is a novel intellectual effort?
I read words a lot! I read words, including color words, while ignoring their color, font, style, etc, a lot. I do not read the colors of words a lot.
... ok skimming the wikipedia it looks like this is well studied if somewhat stupidly put? if I am reading the page right, it looks reading is faster and about the same regardless of the colors. reading the color is the fastest if the text matches, slower if the text is irrelevant, and slowest if the text conflicts.
this seems easily explicable to me if people are reading the text, and only then thinking about the color: if they all match they can run through them at almost text speed, if they disagree they have to think a little longer to make sure they are putting the right color word of the two available into the word making function.

Donald Trump tells people what they want to hear. Simple as that.
Never mind all the things he said and did that everyone agrees are wrong - the corruption, the insurrection, the voter suppression. He played into people's hate, and was rewarded. Sad times.
Just... why? I don't understand why. I can't fathom any justification or reason or motivation for what's happened in the US... I just... why are people like this????

Okay so Kamala might not have lost yet. All she has to do is win Arizona, Maine, Michigan, Nevada and Wisconsin, plus either Alaska or the House of Representatives (which breaks ties). I know that's nearly impossible, but there is still hope. Come on blue shift.

This is one of those posts that doesn't actually contain any meaningful content. You are effectively just repeating the facts of the situation in a slightly different tone of voice. Like, what is the intended reaction here? What you just said isn't going to convince anyone of anything if they don't already agree with you.

This is cool, but like, why? Surely this is worse than traditional solar farms in every conceivable way?
How do solar railways work? Startup gets green light for pilot project in Switzerland
Swiss start-up Sun-Ways has been given the green light for a three-year pilot project in the western canton of Neuchâtel, with work to begin in spring 2025.
Sun-Ways is the first to patent a removable system, with the help of EPFL, the Swiss federal technology institute in Lausanne.

“This will be the first time that solar panels will be installed on a railway track with trains that pass over them,” Sun-Ways CEO Joseph Scuderi told SWI swissinfo.ch.
The removable innovation is a crucial one since railway tracks need to be cleared from time to time for essential maintenance work.
