yes, officer, this person over here

Very first link in the popup claims there are none:

North Korea tours halted until further notice

Occasional immediately imprisoned idiot who dashed there out of stupidity. Tourists, plural. Find a difference.

On the other hand, there were people toured there, I remember I read some report from a photos-smuggling guy. Not sure whether that’s a yearly occasion or one that’s more like once a decade.

tourists

ahaha, that’s a good one

Many, but not all. There are authoritarian states and dictatorships on both ends of the colonialism export/import spectrum, small and large. But yeah, for a while “The West” has been… expansive.

Capitalism and oligarchy would be a shitton of progress for religious autocracies, covert monarchies, unapologetic monarchies and dictatorships. Those dozens of counterexamples countries for which they’d mean a regress are statistical outliers and shouldn’t be counted.

So that’d place capitalism, oligarchy and democracy left for the most of the globe?

Capitalism is a source of so many problems, yet somehow you singed and missed.

What are you smoking? Vowels clustering on one hand is a hallmark telltale sign of a decent layout because of hand alternation, a doubtlessly desired property because, you know, vowels and consonants alternate!

Stop voting for people, FFS. Vote for policies, then hire people to implement those and nothing else.

Oh yeah. I’ve started Marvel Midnight Suns, and 4 hours of cutscene later they show how you deploy on a mission: by walking on a rainbow bridge or something. I’m like: “brilliant, now that’s a way to disguise loading with something I’m doing, even if it’s just walking” , and then, at a random place of that bridge, an actual loading screen appears for a good minute. What’s wrong with you.

Not all, but almost all of them. 1 (one) megapixel display, wider than my laptop, heavier than an extra phone with the best gamepad on earth mounted to it. Steam Deck has a long way forward to even match my classroom gaming experience from 2014, let alone surpass it. Aya Neo Air, GPD Win 4, there’s so much better hardware out there it hurts.

Your “plan” is to tell people in an obscure corner of the internet to rest before digging your country a deeper grave. Mine is to tell you co come to your senses in the comments. None of us offers a course of action.

The majority, including the slice that votes the lesser evil because they don’t want the larger evil, realizes the current sports team rivalry is no substitute for a government, coordinates and votes independent. US gets a government representing the interests of Americans until either the lobbying mechanism gets eradicated or the government gets repurchased anew. Yes, I know, I am idealistic.

Have you considered that I could be living with the consequences? USpol dysfunction has an unpleasantly wide reach across the globe.

What’s so concerning about the alternative?

This, but unironically.

WDYM, the system is still the bad-vs-worse with no path to citizen interests in sight.

consider engaging in the aforementioned tactics

I can’t.

instead of yelling at people who have a plan

to fail again. But you’re right, that’s your country to blow.

Nope, that was about trains. Planes came up later.

Yes, and I’ve personally taken three-day same-country trains before, back when it was the cheaper option. And guess what, non-private planes are also public transport.

Worked sooo great the last time.
