I love how he’s dressed like a Black Panther.
I blame the social media. Banning it for the underage is the only “nanny state” measures I agree.
“But they’re on OUR side”
The Russians are sanctioned!
How about we switch places and see if you could manage to browse online stores in different languages and see what you’re looking for.
It’s easy to be naive.
Although i rarely buy online and try to boycott Amazon, the problem is that there are no better alternatives, especially here in Europe. I don’t know about the US but I try to buy from European stores but unfortunately there just isn’t a warehouse with the same catalogue as Amazon. And trying to usurp Amazon in Europe will taka a while.
The Nazi Americans are literally fucking children, and actual children are more well behaved! The deliberate rejection of expertise by fascists manifests in how they behave in so far as acting more in emotions. That’s why fascism eventually do collapse but they hurt everybody before they are brought down.
Advocating for remigration is unquestionably far right, which the founder has done. Unless you yourself agree with it…
Don’t be evil Be a cuck
Younger gens are on Instagram. I think Zuckerburg is clever to have bought various social media platform as backup in case Facebook dies. He also changed the name of the company to Meta to remove the more direct association with Facebook should the platform die.
Even if Russia attacks NATO, umm…what will Putin get out of it? He’s already preoccupied in Ukraine. He had to recall contingents of Russian mercenaries from Africa to fight in Ukraine. He has trouble keeping his vassal states from fighting each other because there are no Russian troops to keep them in line. His economy is starting to shake. The war is unpopular among Russians even if they don’t admit it openly. And of course, the mobilisation is a very delicate topic that will instantly turn any pro- or Putin tolerant Russians into vehemently anti-Putin ones. Needless to say, he will be stretching Russian resources and patience in vain attempt to stoke his ego.
Attacking NATO directly will accelerate Russian decline even further. So, even though I get that we should be prepared for any possibilities, it’s way stupider of Putin to even seriously consider attacking NATO.
I guess from the Polish point of view, Europe is not offering an alternative for US protection. At the moment they are playing the balancing act between hoping that the US will stay and telling Trump to buzz off.
Edit: wording
The problem is that EU member states have different interests and priorities. For example, Poland don’t want to rile up Trump because Poland is reliant on the US military to deter Russia. And trying to wean off from US is risky because many EU members themselves are reluctant to invest more on homegrown European defense like Spain.
Another example is Ireland. We are too fucking balls-less to decouple from American multinationals and we’re all too happy to be a tax haven. Even after the EU court ruled that Apple has to pay the back taxes to Ireland, the Irish government is reluctant to actually pursue Apple. We’ve also become a Trojan horse for corporate surveillance. Our data protection commissioner was a Meta employee. No conflict of interests there! We are closer to Boston than to Berlin, indeed!
Bazzite, Debian, Linux Mint…Arch… Ubuntu…
That’s five I could think of off top of my head.
I got 50% right, okay!
+1,000 hours for me on Warno. It’s my comfort game after work. I’m good at 10v10 matches but don’t ask me how I do on 1v1.
Using the ai to help find the answers…
I think this is one of many reasons why search engines became so bad so that using AI could be promoted instead. I have turned to using AI for searching because of it.
Now that you mentioned it, there aren’t enough traffic and new content in PeerTube which dissuaded me from checking back.
Looks like more content creators will migrate to Nebula. Or people’s Patreon will get flooded with more donations.
For what it’s worth, the idea of “go with the flow” could help. Having too much expectations could lead to anxiety and disappointment. Just do whatever you want and do what you need, but don’t expect a deadline or arbitrary purpose. You do it because you enjoy doing it, not to seek validation from others.
