  • Choice 1: Harris

    Choice 2: Trump

    Choice 3 / 4: Someone who has no chance to win (new parties have to get more influencal at local levels before having any chance to win) = doesn’t change anything about the result = not voting = only a valid choice if you think Harris and Trump are equally bad

    But yes your democratic system really is flawed. I expect Harris to win the popular vote while Trump wins the electoral college but hope for the best - Trump has proven already that he only cares about money (eg tax cuts for rich people)






  • Older German cars also are great. My Skoda from ~2000 is still going strong (never had any issues) and I also see a lot of other older VW/Skoda around (also Audi, Mercedes and BMW but those are more expensive). Don’t know what it’s like today but at that time at least Skodas got the exact same engines as Audis, just not as beautiful bodies.

    Can’t comment on modern German cars, they haven’t passed the test of time yet.

    That social pressure sure does a lot in the USA. In Austria for example iOS sits at 17.8% (July 2024) despite being a rich country.

    Since none of Apple’s native services are being used the only upside of Apple products is their out-of-the-box neatless communication (MacBook-iPhone) and not being able to do much (this is an upside for old people who want to have as little options as possible, like they did on their old flip telephones). Accordingly, iPhones are very popular among people who only ever use their phones for photos and communication, which is a small percentage (as the statistic shows).

    Most people simply care for what their phone can do (screen, camera, battery life, speed, customisability, software availability, bang-for-buck), for the camera it’s a tie (iPhones still win for videos, Android flagships win for photos) and in all other points Android wins, leading to its 70% market share.
