Completely true. Imagine the disaster is we still would have had the Ottomans or the Umayyads supported by the Idrisids.
We have to dismantle hostile empires on our borders
Kasparov gets it. The only solution is the Russian dissolution.
Russia must be disintegrated into dozens of independent states, each with its own unique national or regional identity that disavows the "Russian" past. This, and nothing else, will bring long-lasting peace to Eurasia.
@hunnern14 Jag tror det kan vara någon slags konspiration där Stockholmarna skickar alla de svåra blattarna till Malmö men behåller de rimliga i Stockholm
@EckhartAurelius@deathofdating Oh but society does either fall apart of spawn military conquests of women from other cultures. Perhaps that second option isn't all that bad. The middle east seems ripe for a couple of crusades
@infinity__oo@twocommapauper Europe is so far north that most of the units aren't only cooling but dual cooling and heating units. Those don't count in the statistics
@jenfeb@twocommapauper The US numbers are death from heat, the European numbers are death where heat might have been a contributing factor. They are in fact completely different statistics
@simoneb94@TheMindScourge It is, yes. And in northern Europe as well where it is mainly used as heat pumps (but those don't count for the statistics even though it is literally just AC). It really is mostly central Europe that lacks AC to any greater degree
Women mate horizontally and up. Men mate horizontally and down.
Scott Galloway’s blunt take: The pool of men who can meet women’s standards is shrinking fast, while women are ascending faster than any group in history, more college degrees, more home ownership, more power.
We shouldn’t slow women down, but we need to figure out how to produce more economically and emotionally viable young men, or household formation is going to collapse.
What’s your take, is this trend creating a growing mismatch between men and women that society needs to address?
The Vikings were sadistically violent raiders who pillaged and terrorised Europe for centuries.
As other countries apologise for their own imperialism, the reinvention of the Vikings into cute memeable content is truly one of the great PR triumphs
