TISZA winning a super majority possible? (r/Destiny)
- Primary_Cod_3622: It’s looking good we europoors might make it. A supermajority is necessary for tisza to be able to operate normally as the system is so rigged. Also rural votes usually come in first. The rural areas especially fidesz strongholds have had a lower turnout than for example Budapest. Which last I checked had the highest in the country

Why do schools give awards for perfect attendance even though kids are constantly getting sick? (r/NoStupidQuestions)
- BrewertonFats: In public schools within the US, funding is directly tied to student attendance. Absent students cost the school money, as they impact the school’s ADA (adverage daily attendance). So of course they’d do everything they can to encourage kids to show up.
- abbot_x: In my kids’ schools “perfect attendance” actually means no unexcused absences. They don’t want kids coming in sick and they don’t want to penalize kids who have to miss school for family or religious reasons.
- jayron32: Many schools have stopped this because it encourages the spread of diseases. I have worked in many schools and haven’t seen this behavior in decades. Which is not to say it doesn’t still happen, but it’s not been the norm where I have worked, at least since the 1990s.
Are manual transmission cars available in every dealership? (r/AskAmericans)
- machagogo: Most car brands don’t even have models that offer them even as an option anymore. Manuals are going the way of the dodo. They are inferior to a modern automatic in every way but “fun to drive” for enthusiest cars.
- FeatherlyFly: Why? If it’s that important to you, just spend the little extra time looking for a model that has what you want. It’s not like walking onto a lot and buying whatever strikes your fancy has ever been a good financial choice.
- freebiscuit2002: No, not at all. Manual transmission cars are rather rare nowadays, and most car manufacturers don’t even make them for the US market. Overwhelmingly, customers prefer automatics.
