It's in ð IPA but it's root is as an old germanic letter for ð sound, including in English.
As for ð why, I þink ð latin alphabet is maladapted for ð English language as it is currently spoken, and ðat older letters should be written back in.
I mean really I þink ð whole of English spelling should be orþographized, but outside of a chat where I know people are going to be able to read and understand a reformed spelling system, just using ð and þ where I'd speak the according sounds suffices for me :þ

I mean ð distinction is well and truly ðere now, so a spelling reform ðat tries to reinstate a spelling convention from a period when it wasn't is really just slapping a coat of paint on the same kinds of historical spelling issues ðat English still has.
To me bringing ðem back isn't a matter of restoring old spelling, it's a matter of using what once was to make something ðat works for the here and now.

Voting þird party under fpðp is like voting for mexican food while dining out in ð UK.
Even if you some ð fuck how managed to bully everyone else into doing it, you're still eating mexican food made in ð UK.
Ðat shit makes Taco Bell look like ð mom and pop shop that just labels ðeir sauces by ð color and ðat consider hundred k scoville ingredients ð dietary accomodation food for midwestern white people.

You know it's true in universe because otherwise JW would have never happened,
At least you could argue 2 and 3 were just consequences of the first attempt, but World was just straight up the economists ignoring all the glaring red signs warning the need to do a shitton more research before trying it again.
And yeah they absolutely did ignore zoological guidelines, separating baby animals from their parents to be used as glorified springy horsies for toddlers would never be allowed at even most mismanaged zoos.
The fact that the two biggest carnivores in the park have direct access to the main park area even if only through an airlock series of doorways is just the worst planning imaginable.
Think how willing you'd be to go to a zoo if you knew the polar bear and mountain lion (two carnivores known to hunt humans) enclosures had access hallways with entryways directly from the park center?
You'd be wondering if the nearby sunscreen for sale was actually food dyed barbeque sauce for efficient euthanasia of anyone dumb enough to still be going!

He didn't, it's just that the expense was spent on dodging regulatory obligations as opposed to actually making a park that wouldn't be more at home in an analogue horror series

Heating causes evaporation even if boiling isn't technically achieved.
Like how salt pools will evaporate out water despite the earth not constantly being at 100° C.

Wasting votes got us Bush, and it got us Trump, if you don't like the state of the political median, do your part to stop it from moving even further right.

Never got over how the republicans successfully managed to goalpost move following international law on assylum applicants, into being a campaign issue.
This is what happens when we waste votes.

You'd think so, but the EC is able to override a majority of even over 80% if the other candidate picks up half plus 1 victories in small states.

If she's defending the morals of the Drukhari I'd start worrying about how much time she spends on certain parts of the internet if I were you.
Specifically the parts of the internet that involve giving her ideas for very not safe for family television things she plans to do to you.

It's entirely the EC.
Biden won by ten million votes, and it was still a clencher because some idjit in kansas thinks the candidates sucking Pennsylvania's fracking drill all election keeps their interests represented.
A big theme I feel this version addresses is (well earned IMO) mistrust in the government and justice system. I believe multi-seat STAR and sortitionate judiciary benches will go a decent way towards as many people feeling like electoral outcomes are fair and that they have at least one representative they feel they can trust as a confidant as possible, and that as many people can trust that federal cases are being tried without any judicial activism playing into seating and jurisdiction selection. I also believe a dual-parliamentary system will go a long way towards removing the "do or die" feelings towards each election since now there isn't a single big boss at the top who can wildly swerve the direction of the nation based on the whims of whichever camp was more dissuaded from turning out that cycle.
To review from my previous post, * 7 Stripes for 7 Articles instead of 13 for 13 colonies. * 27 Stars for 27 Amendments instead of 50 for 50 states. * Colors borrowed from Plains Nations cardinal direction colors as a way to include land recognition in the design. I originally tried using The Statue of Liberty's Torch as a visual divider between both sides, but some folks opined that it was a bit too hard to discern, so instead I leaned a bit more into the land recognition aspect and borrowed a Northeastern Nations bit of iconography, the broken arrow being a symbol of peace, and a two arrow exchange representing war. Decided to pull a Venice and include a peacetime and wartime variant of the flag just to be quirky:P.
Instead of 13 stripes and 50 stars for colonies and states, this flag features 7 stripes and 27 stars for Articles of the Constitution and ensuing Amendments to it. I feel like mere territorial growth doesn't tell the story of America's development as a society and republic as well as tracking the changes to its constitution. Especially the voting rights amendments. Colors borrow from the cardinal direction colors used by Indigenous American nations, (black and blue are interchangeable depending on which nation your speaking to). This was done to bake some land recognition into the flag. Lastly the torch of Lady Liberty is included both to visually distinct the flag from the original stars and stripes, but also to signify America's status as a nation of immigrants. 99% of all Americans today either are an immigrant themselves or have an ancestor within living memory who was one, and Lady Liberty became a sort of patron saint of such folks by being the first sight a lot of people saw coming to America for the first time, not to mention how she's technically an immigrant herself having been gifted from france.
Felt like we could all use some throwback humor.
The man regularly outwits far more supposedly cognizant opponents including Batman and Lex Luthor, who are canonically recognized as two of thr smartest people on the entire planet. Edit: I'm not saying insane people are stupid, I'm saying that Joker's mental illnesses are pretty obviously behavioral, they don't affect his perception of reality. He's perfectly capable of understanding what he's doing and how it's wrong, in fact his character almost doesn't work if he doesn't, he just thinks that it's all hilarious anyways. That's why I said he's not insane, he just pretends to be, because he'd be fit to stand criminal trial as fully competent and cognizant of his actions.
