Imperial Russia was actual chill with the US. But was not so friendly with the British empire.
It knew it couldn’t keep Alaska so may as well sell it to the Yankees before the British take it by force.
Lichtenstein also offered to buy it but that deal didn’t go through.
I don’t think the US is the oldest democracy as San Marino has been around for a long ass time.
When exactly you consider San Marino an Independent entity could be debated but def older than the US.
It’s illegal to be brown in the US it seems sadly.
Thanks for the info! hopefully my Elementary school French comes back to me. (From Canada)
I think it goes all the way back to MSDOS. Hell, I think there’s even some windows or icons from Windows 95 or 98.
Literally going to be flying to Paris today.
Good to know I guess lol.
I saw a vid of a doctor talking to anti-vaxers.
They don’t want to learn. They want to be in their own little reality where they are right and “stupid idiot DOCTORS” are wrong.
It’s like a circus, grab popcorn and watch.
What about regional representatives? Like here in Canada greens are a really small party but their they have some popular MPs in certain ridings so they just have to focus on a single small city like Guelph riding (Which has voted green for MPP in the previous provincial elections.) They win that one riding and they win 1 seat in Parliament.
Could a 3rd party not do something similar in the US? Or are there no such regional elections?
I have to wonder, why DOESN’T the US have any other significant parties? Like you clearly have them but they’re practically irrelevant.
Here in Canada we also have a winner takes all voting system (which is unfortunate. But we hope to change in the future) but smaller parties like the NDPs and greens still manage to hold some relevance even if at least at a regional or provincial level.
Hell, in 2011 the NDP was the opposition against Harper’s CPC with the Liberals doing worse than they ever had.
During the Ontario Provincial election while the Liberals lost seats to the Tories the greens held both their seats and NEARLY got a 3rd.
You basically pour the water and use it to wash your rear by hand. Wash your hands thoroughly, and dry off.
Nowadays in sri Lanka they have bidets everywhere but here in Canada we don’t sadly.
So THAT’S how you describe it!
For me it was wiping your ass in general.
My family comes from sri Lanka we just fill a bucket with water. (Or use a bidet if available)
In my computer engineering course this is literally how we were told to write the date on our lab reports.
Pretty sure you can.
I mean it’s a Linux computer. So you could prob just call your friends on discord.
I rushed to dig through my old high school art class work and found this:
I think at the time they didn’t believe a republic could really work for a large expansive country and would just use it for smaller city states. Hence why Florence and Venice and San Marino were Republics but then Naples and Sicily were monarchies.
