Fashion is wearing what you like, unless you're talking about trends.

There are significant differences, but yes, in a way. Class conflict has always been at the core of modern human history, and when the bourgeoisie and Proletariat teamed up against the Aristocracy, Capital was transfered from the hands of the microscopically few to the hands of much more. However, this is an incomplete transfer of power, and as Capital consolidates, it trends back to a form of Feudalism.
Fair, thanks for sharing! In my case, I tend to like very lightly roasted coffee, so sometimes several months of waiting are necessary.
Economic systems absolutely affect development, but again, you're comparing a country that was a backwater nation completely undeveloped come the start of the 20th century with a country that has always been at or near the top of the list of industrialized nations. The starting points aren't even in the slightest.
Secondly, the banning of alternative political parties was indeed antidemocratic, but the party didn't select who you could vote for. Factions were banned by Lenin, supposed to be temporary, but this continued until 1989.
Historical accounts actually disagree with you saying candidates were preselected. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Soviet_democracy Pat Sloan in particular mentions that anyone could be elected, at the local level. Perhaps what you're referring to is that those above the local Soviets were made up of those elected at local Soviets, and thus people couldn't directly run for higher Soviets? Either way, definitely flawed, but not the same as what you're saying.
Democracy is a sliding scale, I would say the Soviet Democratic model was still democratic, but less than many other countries. The US is technically more democratic, but many absolute positions cannot be voted on, such as the Supreme Court. There isn't a currently existing country with fantastic democracy, unfortunately.
So charming 😍
Ya love to see it.
Fucking Factorio. Tried that shit years ago for 2 minutes and never touched it again.
Not because I didn't like it, of course. I stopped because I knew if I played any longer I'd have to drop out.
It's 2023 and trends have trajectories. This may be difficult to understand.
I try to keep it to one longer game, and one shorter game at a time. Right now that's STALKER Gamma and Signalis, with Signalis on the Steam Deck.
Speaking of, Signalis is fucking amazing, fantastic horror for anyone new to the genre or fans of Silent Hill 2.
My problem is the opposite, normal teeth, small mouth! Haven't ever been able to have braces until now, so I'm knocking it all out now. Hope everything goes well for you!
Yep, and his support is and always has been a minority.
That's the biggest thing for me. If I can get a similar phone to work in the US with no stability or functional compromises, I'm happy.
