Really? That’s odd, because he seems to be doing anything he wants right now, and no one is stopping him.

“Boomer mode”

The Conservative leader In Canada (Pierre Poilievre) as well. I wonder why right-wingers are so focused on circumventing the state?

Obligatory XKCD: https://xkcd.com/2347/

It’s good, but not comparable to Premiere or Resolve. I’d compare it to Vegas maybe.

I agree that the deal is a sham, but I think the goal was to present a deal so obviously unacceptable to Ukraine that they would be bound to refuse and Trump can then point to it and say Ukraine is uncooperative therefore he can refuse to support them any further.

Sounds like a shitty bank.

Fabianism

I don’t think there’s much of a point unless person A actually wants to make a change in their habits. It’s like trying to convince someone to switch to Linux.

I really, REALLY wish the Affinity suite would work on Linux. They are the only ones even remotely comparable to Adobe.

I’ll take it!

Quoting Zhukov in a thread relating to Hungarian dysfunction, really? Why not see what Pol Pot thought about ophthalmology?

Edit: downvoters may want to educate themselves on what Zhukov was up to in 1956.

Is there a German word for “an endorsement that has a net negative effect”?

The US never recognized the ICC. They even reserve the right to invade the Nettherlands to free any detained Americans: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States_and_the_International_Criminal_Court#American_Service-Members’_Protection_Act

If they build a statue of him in Kyiv they can buy as much delay as they need.

Perfidy?

The EU doesn’t include the UK, Canada, Norway, or Turkey. It isn’t really a good NATO substitute.

I’m surprised it took this long. The complete chaos in the US offers a perfect opportunity for China to make its move.

Thank you for writing that longer post, it fills in a lot of detail that my friend tried to explain. It sounds like that transitional period will be VERY precarious. Would Serbians consider the help of an international group (the UN, or whoever you choose) to help keep things stable?

My understanding is that there isn’t really an obvious opposition party, right? Do you think once big-lips is finally gone that the replacement will be a complicated German-style coalition?
