Once again, NDP has won Opposition before (which to those unfamiliar, means that it held more legislative power than all other parties aside from the one that won the election). It is a viable 3rd option and likely would have won the national election roughly a decade ago if Jack Layton hadnt died of cancer during his run.
And because of how our legislature works, if the winning party wins by a minority (Less than 50% of legislative seats), the NDP can team up with the opposition to outpower the party that won and use that to attempt to get legislation that it wants pushed through as a compromise.
TL:DR your last paragraph is false and only serves to entrench the 2 most powerful parties. Canadian 3rd parties are VASTLY more viable than American ones
"First Past The post voting artificially limits the number of political parties to two. "
Kiiiind of, Canada has fptp as well and we have about 4.5ish competitive parties, Liberal Party, Conservative Party, NDP ("socialist" party), Bloc Quebecois (Quebec focussed party [used to be a sepratist party, but has evolved to just focus on getting more favourable policies for Quebec since separating has fallen out of favour in Quebec), and the .5 would be the Green Party. So we can vote against the main 2 without wasting our votes/effectively voting for the party we hate more. BUT the reason I said kinda is notice I said Main 2. NDP has won opposition a few times (2nd most voted for party nationally), but Only 2 parties have ever been the most voted for in an election, the Liberals and the Conservatives. (Bloc Quebecois has won the provincial government multiple times in Quebec, but obviously has never been a contender for national government)
(Green is .5 because most people know about them, but to my knowledge they have never won even a provincial government, which the other 4 all have multiple times)
Oh yeah, Steam's software is amazing in its own right, but MAN, all of these competitors are failing right out of the gate by only giving us thumbsticks to emulate mouses with
NONE of them have touchpads either. I dont understand why these high end computer companies are trying to sell a laptop that doesnt have even a single touchpad
NONE of them have the dual touchpads the steamdeck has either. Fucking seriously... Even if having to deal with windows wasnt a dealbreaker for me, having only thumbsticks to control a computer with is a hard pass for me
It means: "Leftist" Who defends/supports regimes like Russia and China, and their use of Tanks to suppress thier opposition, hence the term.
It gets bandied about on Lemmy like crazy because theres a crazy amount of Tankies on Lemmy
This includes Functionally EVERY state with incredibly few if any exceptions. Whens your line for when a conqueror becomes a local?
Did OP update their post? Because this post is 99% what OP said in theirs
Tbf I think BisectHost now lets me just upload normally, but I'm so used to using Filezilla I'm doing so out of habit.
Wait, so then we have the comparison all wrong. Pho isn't Vietnamese Tea, Tea is British Pho?
Having just recently worked at a grocery store, they're likely shooting for being able to change prices daily without having to pay 3 extra workers to change all the tags in the grocery store. So it likely wont change during the day, for the reasons you listed, but any chance they get to up the price without a percieved loss in customers, they'll just hit a button and bam, jacked the price by a dollar
I've actually had coffee tea, I have Indonesian family and one of the times I visited I was traded a bag of coffee leaves and berries for agreeing to be in some advertising pictures, and its actually pretty good!
So if a deranged person drinks the broth without eating the ingredients, did they then turn their pho into tea?
Its more we're defending against Steams competition and dont want to see them gain any ground (Except itch and GoG, they're cool)
We'll let their position have some scrutiny when the PC marketplace has some actual decent competition, I'd rather not shoot the PC gaming sphere in the foot just because Lemmy hates corporations.
Its not momentum, its that the competition is garbage
