I think the Russian Empire will not give away expensively conquered land and people to basically a political vassal who is a member in a concurrent political entity and system. Today’s Political Hungary might have powerful aspirations, but it’s current actual power is somewhat limited to a gatekeeper (migration, military aid, energy flows) since Hungary is not a big entity like the USA, Russia, China or the EU as a whole.

I wonder how much the situation would compare to a hypothetical scenario where Texas would hold trade talks with China.

Once this is all over and Ukraine still exists, Hungary probably won’t be a friend of Ukraine.

North Korean workmanship seems to be at a premium worldwide. North Korea could lead the absurd world consisting of Russia, Belarus, Iran, Hamas, Taliban, Cuba, Nicaragua etc. into a sparkling future.

There’ll be loved ones to tell someday.

I did not want to imply that the UK doesn’t have or is in any way incapable of aquiring vegetables, but I still think vegetables are more of concern than fruits like mangoes to the UK and people in general, because vegetables are important ( My head: Eat your vegetables, child… ).

I do not live in the UK, but I am sure that the UK needs vegetables.

The turn to the right in Germany have a lot to do with the state of the media in Germany.

Far-right groups have sucessfully established isolated media channels on various platforms, among them Telegram and YouTube, but also on Facebook and Twitter, with very little coherence to other media and the actual state of things. Its output is achieved by informally and ideologically recruiting laypersons as influencers who constantly create content which acts as a sort of pyramid scheme of attention, thus self-replicating.

The content also appears on the feeds of already right-wing journalists of very popular and sensationalist newspapers of the Axel-Springer-Verlag (very sketchy and influential publisher) with half a century of experience manipulating the German political landscape.

For additional context it is also necessary to consider that yesterday (Sunday, 2023-10-08) there were elections in two German states, one of which (Bayern) has a history of being more right-wing and religious than the other West-German states.

AFAIK, yes, you might wanna look into β± and β־-decay

At a school I was we used to have a mean IT teacher and one of his favorite sayings allegedly was: “Often, the error is in front of the display.”

The only way is endangering food supply and if we stop we might have hyper climate change?

Do you remember hearing about Tambora, Krakatoa and their global effects? Do you remember ozone crisis? How we found out about the severity of the impact lead had on people? Acid rain? Nuclear winter?

Effective and thus extensive geoengineering requires an understanding of biogeochemical processes that we don’t have.

It might backfire and cause more problems.

Misanthropy is climate action denial, inappropriate for the challenges climate change creates, because it blames those who emit nothing and those who emit all equally.

Getting attention in *communities* as a single entity or (self)claimed *authority* is probably more difficult than in *users*-based streams.

Remember The 1975 some weeks ago?

Isolation sucks and (political) alienation does too. I wouldn’t give too much about party politics, but supporting women and queers is a nice cause.

I guess you’re not the only one contemplating similar steps - given your class background I’d argue that it’s part of a brain drain of so called ‘red states’ (‘The South’ isn’t enough anymore). Political stability is part of QOL, but once intentionally disturbed there might be a feedback loop of brain drain, QOL decrease and political instability (because it sure isn’t safe for many).

I think you also have at least some moving experience…

What do they need all this space for?

They removed the keys for the screen. Ok.

Phones got bigger for the screen. Ok.

Phones got thinner, monolithic-like and they removed replaceable batteries. Why?

They removed the 3.5mm jack. Not ok, full stop.

They removed the SD card slot. A cloud’s not a storage card.

I heard they’re removing SIM card slots as well.

Gradually making phones into TV’s with sensors is bad. What if next you’re considered dead or criminal when offline?

Wait… they’re removing SD cards?
