What would be the problem with China giving money to Cuba and Mexico?

It’s like RAAAiAIIIN
You must hate your doctor for giving you the diagnosis of your illness :P
I first ate avocado in ~2007 when my grandparents from the silent generation brought some back from their visit to Bolivia. So I can say I ate it before it was cool (in Europe).
In the epilogue she says we haven’t tested scoring methods.
But in my local county council elections we had something to that degree. Every candidate (multiple candidates per party and independents) had three boxes. And every elector had 12 or 20 or something crosses to distribute. So you could give 3, 2, 1 or 0 crosses to a candidate.
Maybe the difference is, that didn’t yield a single winner but elected members of the council.
Which is also a much more glaring issue with fptp systems: not the race for president, but the fact that there are only 2 parties in parliament.
I think you misunderstood the title. Australia will not sign the death certificate of small islands like Samoa. They will suffer heavily if we don’t stop with fossil fuels.
I really like pears.
Are you making a comparison to Napoléon or to 1930s Germany? Because the Rhineland was actually German and part of the German empire whereas Crimea and the Donbas do not belong to Russia but are internationally accepted as Ukrainian territory.
Well, good decisions aren’t his forte, so what else is left there?
Mainz baby!
What’s the programming language that allows emojis as variable names?
Looked it up a little: it’s all languages that support extended characters and not only ASCII. But it looks pretty unreadable.
Yep, replace edge with isOnGround or something
Cool, you can now go and tell your foreign minister, that they are allowed to call @NotTheOnlyGamer a slave owner.

I’m also meaning it sincerely. It is a sensible distinction since “Italian” is not a blood line, but a culture.
As long as you speak the language, it’s fine by me. Once you stop speaking Italian at home (in this example) it’s over, you can’t call yourself Italian anymore.
According to the Codex Wiesonius.
It’s not a brand name but a regionally protected signifier. Like champagne.
I don’t think you understand how much of a difference it makes to speak another language.
You are far less likely to marry someone with a different language or move somewhere with a different language. From what I read on the internet, Americans move between states several times in their lives. That is a very equalising factor for the culture and general way of life. There’s much more exchange and assimilation if there is constant mixing.
How a French person and a German person view life, work and public conduct can differ greatly. And the differences won’t be equalised soon, because of the different languages and therefore less mixing.
Surely the states have differences between them, but you have one traditional Thanksgiving dinner nationwide for example.
What an Italian considers a traditional Christmas meal would not be considered “christmassy” in Finland.
On the political sphere, there are constitutional monarchies, presidential republics, parliamentarian republics, oligarchies and dictatorships in Europe. Personal freedom and safety might differ greatly. But even within the EU, where personal rights are more or less equal there are still so many cultural differences. At what age you move out, how prestigious it is to go to university, if cooking at home is a great value.
Even architectural trends are different in each country.
Not to diminish the diversity in the US, but two different countries is just another level.
If you’re socially not allowed to people watch, bring a newspaper or a book.
