He has no plan. He’s just saying these words, hoping that somehow that might gain him votes.

He has no other choice.

Putin has made it clear to him that the photos they have of Orbán having an intercourse with an underage girl will be made public unless Orbán obeys.

Well, Russian soldiers are complaining that the war is going even worse for them than a month ago! I’ve read a few different reports about that today and yesterday, and that’s wondrous news to get to read!

Being burned out is reasonable.

It’s one possible, and likely, reaction to a never-ending barrage of bad news which you can do very little about.
Being burned out is okay. Causing someone to burn out is not okay, but being burnt out is absolutely allowed!

The country is not refusing the return of its own citizens. It is refusing bringing its citizen from one country to another against their own will in a situation where there is no unavoidable and pressing need to do so.

Why is it not a legitimate move? A country is supposed to protect its citizens from harm.

Most deportations are unjust, and if the only efficient way to stop unfair deportations by us is to block them wholesale, then a country has the responsibility towards its citizens to do so.

Anything else would be madness.

Pterodactyls were long gone at that point, though!

(Something related to triceratops was probably still around, but not the kind depicted here.)

But if you follow enough users, won’t you start getting quite a good amount of that? Plus, you can probably just browse the local of some Misskey instance and then, if you want to comment or upvote, open it from within your own instance? It won’t be perfect, but I would imagine it will do the job just fine for a student.

If it federates, what does that matter? Just read the Japanese Misskey content.

Iceshrimp and Sharkey are forks of Misskey with more features. Are they still able to federate with it? How does Misskey federation work?

I wish there was a way to efficiently spread knowledge inside NK that if soldiers surrender, they will be allowed to return to SK or NK according to their own wish. That would at the same time dramatically increase North Koreans’ willingness to help the Russia in the war, and just as dramatically reduce the North-Korean leadership’s motivation to send any soldiers to that war.

It’s also fun that if the driver exhausts all of their 90 days out of 180 while working, that means they are not allowed to travel within EU for a while!

And if they make a tourist trip, they are not allowed to work so much. But yeah, employing truck drivers with EU passports is a simple and good solution to the problem, so it’s not a huge thing. Also, if the British truck drivers lose their job because of not having an EU passport, they can move to an EU country and work for a truck company there. That way they get a stay permit, allowing them to spend 365 days out of 365 in EU if they so wish!

Misrepresent what?

Did she know back then what was coming?

It’s impossible that she would somehow not have known what was coming.

I suppose at some point people might be figuring out that Putin is not the same as Russia and that they are better off with a different set of institutions.

I have a feeling they won’t figure that out. I was talking with a person here in Finland just a few months ago, and they said “Putin is not a good president, but all the other options we have are even worse”.

…which is an absolutely bonkers thing to say. Who on Earth would be worse for the Russia than Putin is? Nobody else would have elected to continue this war once it was clear that Kremlin had fucked up. Even if they would have been bad, there’s almost no way they could have been worse than what Putin is doing now.

But still, that’s what the otherwise completely adequate-seeming Russian told me. The inability to see how bad Putin really is, is extremely deep in that people. The thought of Putin as the father figure of the whole country is so ingrained in the Russians’ heads that it will be only the generation after the next one that will be clear of it. And then the Russia can maybe start developing into a third-word country at least. And then maybe even back to being a second-world country.

The past for years experts have been talking about this going to happen around 2025 or at latest 2026. Because it has been inevitable, it has made sense factoring that into the strategies.

Many reporters have written about it in a way that has made it look different, but already in late 2022, experts who actually know the subject were talking about mid-to-late 2025 as the limit for the economy of the Russia. They did it get wrong by about half a year, but overall, I’d say the prediction was very accurate.

What was assumed that since the impending economical crash of the Russia was visible already in 2022, the Russia would have drawn the conclusions and left Ukraine. And therefore, by all logic, the economical crash of the Russia should have ended the war already in 2022 or 2023. But instead, the Russia decided to go for a suicide instead, because that’s what its people decided they want.

It’s because the scale of those US wars has been one percent of the war the Russia is now waging.

USA has not tried having a war with a peer. If it did. The result for its economy would be very similar.

Yes. The level design is awesome. Every level plays almost like a separate game of its own, with its own individual logic for how to win. Makes your brain go BSOD.

Whoever likes Dr. Mario or Puyo-Puyo really should play Cuyo! It’s awesome! :)

That would mean that China is not sovereign 🤔
