A good example is the 1981 election in New Zealand, where the Labour Party won more votes but the National Party won more seats and formed the government.
Unfortunately yes, it’s huge problem with first past the post systems.
Either that or you’ve got some malware.
iPhone has enormous market dominance in the US and no sideloading.
The thing that I loved about Mass Effect was the characters.
Andromeda’s characters were straight up uninteresting or plain annoying.
ME3 was an amazing game up until the last ten minutes
Russia had the equipment (and a lot more) to lose. It’s quite realistic.
How you can consider a two year war where none of the original goals have been met a success is beyond me.
Russia has paid an enormous cost for very little in the way of gains. They haven’t even regained the land they retreated from in 2022.

Since September my wife has had about ten CTs, three MRIs, two major surgeries (the last one 7 hours long), one emergency surgery, weeks of chemotherapy and radiation treatments and about 8 weeks hospitalised including some time in the ICU.
Total cost: $0
Unless you count the cost of parking when I visit her in hospital, in which case I’ve spent about $170 USD
This is in New Zealand with a publicly funded health system.
Toyota were already in my shit list because of their anti electrification lobbying and awful EVs.
This has killed any positive feelings I had left for the company.
