To be fair, I have already failed to properly recycle an item or two, as well.

Yeah, should be 0.(6).

That can’t be it, cause then that’s all 4/4 horsemen of 3/4 present.

Why is everybody posting my cat today?!

For comparison:

The only reason I know that this is not my cat is because mine has a birthmark on the tip of the nose. And whiter belly.

Where did I say “government does stuff”? If a service is provided not for profit, funded by the community and is otherwise not privately owned, it’s socialist. It needs to be for-profit and/or privately owned to be capitalist.

Arguably, The US does have several socialist policies, albeit implemented very badly. For instance, public education. Does capitalism stick its grubby fingers into it from every possible angle? Yes. But at its core it has collective funding through taxes (therefore owned/controlled by the state), universal access, and the prioritization of public welfare over profit (at least on paper). Those principles are strictly socialist and not capitalist.

It’s not about strictly “owning”, it’s about controlling. Control can be achieved in many different ways, including, but not limited to regulations. Socialism is an economic system, of which you can implements certain parts.
I didn’t say “social policies”. Socialist policies are a more specific subset of social policies, so all socialist policies are social policies, but not all social policies are socialist.
Regarding the European countries’ degree of being socialist, it of course depends on the country. But on average, you might be right, and perhaps using “equally” was an exaggeration.

Lots of people on Lemmy forget that the choice between Capitalism and Socialism isn’t binary. Country picks individual policies that are capitalist or socialist in nature. All of the modern countries are a combination of both. Even USA has certain socialist policies. Most of Europe is roughly equally capitalist and socialist.
It’s just making a character build and picking perks. Capitalist policies aren’t bad (for the general public) by default. Depending on how and which ones are implemented, they can be beneficial to everybody.

Yeah, with exception of Polish, which used Latin from the start, Czech and Slovak briefly used Glagolitic alphabet, which is much closer to Greek alphabet and basically the precursor to Cyrillic. I should’ve been more specific.
Some Slavic languages did switch directly from Cyrillic to Latin alphabet though. And some non-Slavic languages use Cyrillic to this day (although in process of switching to Latin).

Not all, some have switched to Latin, like Polish, Czech, Slovak, to name a few.

It still might be, don’t give up hope!

Dang, that labtop is so old it has a dialup modem built-in.

The only reason I know the contents of most classic literature is because of “So You Haven’t Read” series on YouTube.

I looked it up afterwards and yes, US eggnog is different from kogel mogel. For the latter you just whip egg with sugar and you’re done. Former is much more involved, requires heating milk and stuff.

Dang it, I wasn’t updated on this… BRB, gotta put alcohol into my kogel mogel…

15,000 years in the past is absolutely not enough to go back to monke. Even just the modern homo sapiens existed for the past 150,000 years. But I suspect to expect those bros to know that is irrational.

Does this imply that American eggnog is alcoholic? I was told eggnog is what we call kogel mogel, which is just whipped egg and sugar, basically.
