How is EndeavourOS true neutral? It is arch-based and has a "pacman-based rolling release model".

The trouble is that barriers to voting will always be manipulated by the people in charge to exclude specific people.

That's just a statement and not necessarily true just because you say so.

Anyway, such a test would obviously not be about Nascar or illegal immigrants, but rather the structure of the government and the content of the constitution, testing whether the testee understands their nation, its values, and the democratic principles it is founded on. I don't buy the pseudo killer argument that the test would eventually and automatically be corrupted. Keep it on the subject matter, and as long as the constitution doesn't change, the test doesn't change meaningfully. Everything outside these topics is irrelevant to the test.

If I call you a terrorist I guess I can expect you to be picked up tomorrow morning? You people just have an utterly deranged sense of logic. You cannot convict someone without proof, regardless of the alleged crime and how strong your personal feelings on the matter are.

Isn't that common knowledge? I don't think that anyone seriously believes that splitting a single atom causes an explosion.

China could not care one bit less about the genocide in Gaza you stupid tankie, least of all about the Houthis. It is Chinese ships and goods in particular that the operation is protecting. This was just arrogant posturing from China, because they know fully well that the EU will side with Taiwan in the coming war.

I see Bowser doing a Hitler salute. Very interesting tho that so many people associate Nintendo characters with these clouds. Probably due to their unique art style.

COLMAP

Edit: Perhaps you can get it working with a phone, but a laptop will probably be best.

The Swiss might be a bad example. They are easily the craziest, most nationalistic people in Europe. I've dealt a lot with Swiss from all kinds of backgrounds over several years, and with foreigners living and working in Switzerland, and I can confidently say that I have never experienced anything comparable to how normal and ingrained xenophobia and an endless vicious hate for foreigners are in Swiss culture. The average Swiss seems to despise foreigners (who make about 50% of the workforce, btw) and views themselves and their country as superior to anything that might exist in the universe. This is not only a rural problem, it is common in several cities as well, perhaps most prominently in Lucerne. Their xenophobia has also been institutionalised with the Swiss police of several cantons enjoying the harassment of foreigners as their favourite pastime.

Go outside and get a life. How can you be so miserable.

God forbid that people have opinions... Life could be fun, but we don't want that! Seriously, your only reason for existence on social media seems to make other people's day worse. That is miserable.

No it doesn't, that's your paranoia and your own preconceptions speaking.
