That’s not what determines whether a country is a 2 party system or a multi party system. There are plenty of countries that have small parties which have never formed government themselves but nevertheless have held real power in coalitions or minority parliaments.
Canada’s public health care system was created by Tommy Douglas, an NDP MP and party leader. If Canada were strictly a two party system like the US then that would never have happened.
Not Canada. The NDP is more than just a spoiler. They hold the balance of power right now!
The prize wasn’t included in Alfred Nobel’s will and the funding for it doesn’t come from Nobel’s estate (it’s funded by the central bank of Sweden). However, the prize is administered by the Nobel Foundation and announced on their website.
The official name of the prize is THE SVERIGES RIKSBANK PRIZE IN ECONOMIC SCIENCES IN MEMORY OF ALFRED NOBEL which makes the distinction a bit more clear.
Despite all that I am really enjoying the rewatch. What makes the show great are the other characters: Al, Jill, and Wilson! Wilson is by far my favourite. Such a weird guy!
The show totally played it straight with some very cringeworthy episodes in the early seasons. They started subverting it more and more as time went along.
Some of the stuff they stayed with for a very long time though. Al Borland was the butt of many jokes for not presenting as traditionally masculine, for his relationship with his mother, for being single, etc. At times it could be hard to watch, with Tim essentially bullying Al relentlessly. Of course everything is all great at the end of the episode but it rarely involved an apology from Tim!
Tim Allen has always been conservative. I’ve been rewatching Home Improvement and it kind of blows me away how much the show leans on gender stereotypes for its jokes! It was only the 1990s but it feels like ancient history now.
There is no solution that involves billions of people.

You also have to look at culture. Culture has such an enormous effect on people’s psychology and behaviour!
I think he means “perfectly tuned to the way fans want it” which is to say “highly moddable.” Skyrim is kind of the first game in the series that sold really well on platforms other than the PC which strangely brought in a lot of fans who play the vanilla game. But as far as I can remember, the bulk of the longterm fanbase plays on PC and installs tons of mods for the game.
Sure, there are other games that fans like to mod (Minecraft being a big one) but I can’t think of any other game where fans stack dozens or even hundreds of mods by different authors all on the same game and actually expect it to work. The fact that it does work at all (and fans have created custom programs to merge mods and to carefully tune the loading order) is rather a miracle!
So this is what I think he means by “perfectly tuned.” A brand new engine would mean putting in a ton of work to support all the different forms of modding fans want to do and in all likelihood would be far less flexible and powerful, leading to modder community outcry.
Whoever said anything about that? You can make positive changes, just don’t expect them to be permanent. Nothing is permanent. That’s life! Eventually we all die.
Yeah this game is absolutely one of a kind. Nothing else like it. Really funny too, with great voice acting and a wacky story!
