At the end of the day all governments are desperately afraid of making people angry (at them), from the healthiest democracy to the most totalitarian dictatorship

One would think so. But a quick glance at Russia, or even the current US one would show you otherwise.

Most governments don't seem to pay a lot of attention to it. Democracies tend to be the most concerned ones, but it still varies a lot.

Should we create a notnotnotnottheonion community to mirror this one?

China seems very stable to me. Their government is afraid of making people angry, and removing basic help like that is very likely to make people angry.

But also, it seems to me that the "generally" in "generally free" is doing some work. AFAIK, some care is free, some care isn't. And the pretty good quality of life doesn't seem to be universally distributed. Both of those seem to be improving quickly, but the "people are better than in the US" impression one may take from that comment seems to be a misrepresentation.

As long as you get a much larger diagonal than the screens they are replacing...

Now that the numbers on the original post changed, no, it's not closer anymore.

So, way closer to 4/3 like old standard screens than to 16/9 like the screens nobody even calls "wide" anymore?

It's reasonable. What they got away with was labeling wide screens as a good thing.

Oh, it's a really nice to look curve. But it's not very surprising that electricity generation can diagnose your factory's health.

Is that solar energy generation?

I would rather joke on the irony and not support his message.

I get where you are going, but even ironical support for those people cause is prone to backfire.

Thanks for the answer, but my question was facetious.

We used to have this satirical news site here in Brazil that when reality was absurd enough just published the news.

Then Bolsonaro won, and since their site was entirely real news, people stopped reading them...

The joke is that the steps have an order?

There's probably a site somewhere where you paste it and it gives you the sound.

Google translate seems to not have the phonetic alphabet, but there's probably something out there that has it.

AFAIK, everybody is insulted by it. How would one know anyway? Look at the heavily censored social media?

For fuck's sake people, stop localizing your error messages.

The first thing I did with mine was labeling boxes of screws by size...

Let's schedule a meet-up at 00/00 year 0000 to talk about it.

No idea who you are talking about, but it's well known that we have a really large and complex neuron structure spread through our digestive system.

Nobody calls it a brain just because it's not an organ.
