Indeed. Check OP’s post history. This is par for the course.

You continue to miss the fact that I’m not dogmatic about the US being unequivocally “good”.

I’m fully aware of the very fucked up history that the US has (and more than a few of our allies have) in the context of sketchy colonialist/imperialist stuff. My country’s actions in Latin America over the course of the First Cold War - not to mention after its conclusion - are imo largely indefensible.

But if you think the USSR (or now, Russia) was unequivocally “good”, you are high on your own supply.

And not to mention: non-authoritarian communist and socialist systems can and do exist. They are distinct from authoritarian communist systems, primarily in the fact that the “authoritarian” part is far more important and impactful than the “communist” part. You’re also trying to pidgeonhole things into a dichotomy, when in fact the reality is far more nuanced.

Welcome!

It takes a bit of fiddling and customization to get your blocklists and filters set up, but that’s true to a lesser degree for Reddit anyways. There’s tons of people that should be willing to point you in the right directions, though, should you have questions.

Orban says things for a specific audience, and the audience is Putin and Trump, and to a lesser extent, his domestic populace.

Also: have you ever thought what does it say about you that you consistently simp for all these authoritarian rulers?

I feel like Airbus has a BIG opportunity in area of AWACS platforms - making an E-7 (AWACS-flavored 737) competitor would probably see more than a few interested buyers. Considering the success of the Saab 340 AEW&C, perhaps a collaboration between them could be useful. Upsizing and expanding the systems capabilities to use the additional space and power of an A320neo or A350 would be a very interesting basis for an AWACS, EW, and C3 platform. Also, it’d probably provide a good amount of headroom in terms of future extensibility.

This is America - we don’t solve problems, we just ignore them

I mean if Phony Stark is trying to get Twitter banned from the EU, this is definitely gonna increase the likelihood of that occurring

You’re allowed to say “fuck”

Hoooooolyyyyyyyy fuck that is a 10/10 code brown 😱

GET YOUR HAND OFF MY PENIS

Nope. I think it’ll be worse than Afghanistan for Russia, because pretty much all Ukrainians speak Russian, and that’s a fascinating vector for domestic terrorism in Russia

I am fully aware of how obnoxiously opaque and misleading headlines tend to be in the modern media context. I do not need to be preached to about that.

My point is that Russia is demonstrably unable to achieve victory in their war with Ukraine, and that Ukraine is exhibiting an astounding level of strategic ability against Russia in retaliation for strikes against their own civilian infrastructure.

Moreover, there are absolutely zero rational or plausible scenarios in which the EU instigates a war against Russia, and claiming that the EU would even consider such a thing - outside of reacting to military action instigated by Russia - is not only nonsense, but also blatantly obvious Russophilic propaganda.

And, you know, the source OP posted is known to be a platform for RT, which is essentially Russian state media.

Lmfao what a vapid, petty tool.

I look forward to Mamdani signing some orders to revoke those orders.

Or better yet: replace references to Israel with “Jewish, Arab, Palestinian, or any other ethnicity” (maybe enumerating the ethnicities, which would be pointedly amusing, but also equitable and correct)

Vibe coding as a practice needs to be burned at the stake. It’s actively terrible, in a lot of ways - some subtle, some obvious.

ML can and does do some incredible things. LLMs are not in that category.

Also, vid/imagegen needs to die in a fire, because holy fuck is it caustic to society at an insanely broad level.

For me: a big component of it is a sensory thing. My brain does NOT like it when I can feel roughness on my fingers or hands. The best I’ve been able to do is just keep a bunch of good glass nail files around the house and in the bags I use and travel with, as well as some cuticle trimmers. That way I just trim and buff things out until my brain is like “mmmm yes this is fine, carry on”, and it’s way less of a compulsion.

But stress also often triggers it for me, and that’s harder to buff out :(

lol wow, just leaning further into the whole “FIFA is run by absolute fucking psychos” narrative I guess…

It’s insane that we defined a bunch of the things he and his circle are saying as “white supremacist stuff” back in the decades following the civil rights era, and now I guess we’ve decided as a society that that’s just an okay thing again?

I want off this ride, it’s not fun anymore :(

I deeply fucking hope the DNC doesn’t tap him like they tapped Hillary and Biden. Newsom is a corporatist neoliberal who’s simply opportunistically bandwagoning on public hostility towards orangeboi.

Move that decimal point to the right once or twice if you want Phony Stark to meaningfully react, because this is just a slap on the wrist.
