You never see people like this advocating for banning Michael Phelps from competitive swimming. He has ‘unfair’ genetic advantages în lung capacity and lactic acid production.

The day that is seriously considered is the day I might take them slightly more seriously.

It’s fairly well-known historical fact that fascists don’t understand art.

Quite high actually. Peter Magyar is likely going to be the new prime minister. Whether or not Peter will actually change anything or just be Orban 2: Electric Boogaloo is the more important question, imho. He’s also a conservative, was part of Orban’s inner circle before the child abuse scandals, and is running on a platform of “Orban but not corrupt”, which doesn’t inspire a whole lot of confidence from me having seen that exact same cycle play out in Romania.

It’d be great to see Orban out regardless though.

I think a better group to ask would be Puerto Ricans. They are US citizens, but as far as I’m aware (not an American myself), being a citizen without any representation or voting rights means they get fucked over a lot.

Difference between Venezuela and Greenland is that for Venezuela, they are openly saying they want regime change and compliance, not annexation. For Greenland they’re explicitly calling for annexation.

Hypothetically, let’s say Denmark backs down and gives up Greenland (not gonna happen, but let’s assume). No way are the republicans going to give them senators and congresspeople, they’d immediately be opposed to the Republicans.

Like it or not (I certainly don’t), we’ve gone full circle to the old server-client relationship instead of the peer-to-peer model we had for a while. Almost everything is in the browser now, which means we need EU infrastructure. That takes time, money and effort to set up, even before you start dealing with user inertia.

“You can’t have programs that do multiple things! Any program that is multi-use is ebil. Standardized syntax and functionality between different related systems? NO! PROGRAM DO ONE THING!”

Adam Something, is that you?

That chemical can be very deadly. If enough of it gets into your airway, it can cause asphyxiation.

The GMan has broken containment and is now wandering through our timeline, inserting people into the right points to change the future. I guess this explains the whacky wild ride we’re currently on.

Yup. This is the solution to US control of cashless transactions. The sooner the digital euro can be agreed upon, standardized and rolled out at the EU level, the better.

As a Romanian in a country still outside the Eurozone, I hope there’s provisions to allow us to use it for RON transactions while our economy is still too much of a mess to join.

Why write more than necessary? Surely 26 = 26 is enough.

I edit PDFs all the time for work. It’s a pain in the ass, but perfectly doable. Trying to prevent people from editing files by making it annoying is not in any way a sane strategy.

Last Hungarian election international observers declared the election free but not fair. Correct counting of votes, but full government control over Hungarian news media blasting pro-Orban messaging for months.

Assuming the same thing happens, there is a real possibility that he legitimately loses to Peter Magyar’s party. Polls predict that Orban will lose (as usual, take polls with massive skepticism, but that’s the prediction).

Not much better at all, tbh. The problems are systemic, not individual. Another Zucc or Thiel would step up.

One must imagine sisyphis happy

Not in an image it doesn’t

I had some of that at an extremely early age. Addicted ever since. I still can’t go a day without it without feeling terrible.

Yup. The Romanian diaspora is simultaneously being treated like undesirable immigrants, and wants immigrants in Romania to be thrown out to protect the “purity” of the country. A country they no longer live in, and have no intention of returning to.

Shh, no spoilers. He obviously hasn’t gotten to that part yet.

Once you get past level 18, you can start picking your own party. You might need to keep some of the old members around as support for a bit, but building out your own roster can be way better than the starter pack.
