You mean how they are helping middle east tyrants supercharge corruption in sports?

If you think what Trump says about Greenland is bad, you should hear what Russia keeps saying about the baltics and Poland.

Russia is not being particularly secretive in their plans for a war with the EU.

It depends on what kind of weird shit you’re into.

Well, for that their only solution is to use their Central America regime change guidebook closer to home, and hope everyone forgets the US’s propensity to elect imperialist assholes.

Well, the R in BRICS makes it even more toxic than the US.

China’s ability to mix and match the worst of communism and capitalism in a single dystopian package never ceases to amaze me.

If you have a self-consistent human rights framework all rights support and in some way encompass all other rights.

I love how the Charter of Fundamental Rights of the European Union frames if, by starting with with “Human dignity is inviolable. It must be respected and protected” as the foundation that is so fundamental it’s just recognised and not “given”.

Moving around in “peaceful” should be ok as a playground for learning the controls.

This reminded me immediately of The Coffee Machine short story published last year. Reality manages to be stranger and weirder than fiction.

Don’t both GNOME and KDE send sigterm first on shutdown?

Not if they think they have enough of a cult following to pull an Apple.

And centralization solves this how? The other social networks are giving more checkmarks to grifters and scammers than they are giving them to honest people because, spoiler alert, con artists are very good at both building a following and paying bribes.

Putin is in the year 3 of a 3 day invasion, and became a vassal of China in the process.

Trump singlehandedly destroyed American hegemony, removing the tool he would need the most to deliver what the donor class wanted and he keeps losing games of chicken with basically the entire world. And I’m pretty sure Biden would’ve done lots of things differently if he could travel back in time even a few hours.

If they have time machines they are the most incompetent people on the planet.

Does our world sound like a world where any President of the US and/or Russia had access to time travel?

For $666 they could afford to ship a SD Card and an USB card reader.

That still doesn’t invalidate that the authorities tried to deport people without a trial, ignoring the presumption of innocence and rule of law in general. That’s at least AfD level disregard for the Grundgesetz.

Everyone involved in this should be forbidden from holding authority until they are able to explain why what they did is the opposite of the values of a Rechtsstaat.

It’s basically the same thing as gambling but with less regulations and social stigma. It’s not going to get better if no one does anything - and it’s not going to be the unregulated casinos cosplaying as gaming studios that will do it.

You don’t need a genie to get prop wings on your back.

It should be forbidden to even refer to it as buying (I think some places already have laws for that), and they should also be forced to put a big disclaimer every time stating the game might become unavailable at any moment if it has things like DRM or core online functions.

Everyone pays VAT that’s the point of VAT. You might get away with paying a lower VAT if you buy something from a small store in another country but you are always suppose to pay the VAT of the country where you live - for example if you buy something from a German online store in Portugal you are supposed to pay the 23% rate to the Portuguese government not the 19% rate to the German government, and big online stores will do it for you automatically.
