Det är bara så pinsamt alltihop
En del av det från folk som jag VET är rätt klyftiga på flera sätt
Fattar inte om det är pengar det handlar om, eller bara rent cynistisk propaganda man känner är värt ens själ om det bara så fungerar
Nu är ju inte twitter "på riktigt" iaf inte riktigt på riktigt, men det surrealistiskt att se hur många högerkonton som verkar tro att det mest down to earth sättet att fiska röster nu är att säga "rösta på oss, annars kommer dödsmordkommunister folkmörda era barn med transskatt"
Samtidigt hävda att en S-regering skulle innebära avskaffat privat ägande, 90% inkomstskatt, alla företag exproprieras, och statsbudgeten dedikerar 95% på att bränna Astrid Lindgren-böcker och tvångstransa alla dagisbarn, med soc-stormtrupper som spränger alla som vägrar
Reading Russian translated into English often sounds super indirect
"The situation has been developing for some time now, and I can say that decisions will need to be made, but there is the question of whether there is understanding of the implications"
What's going on there?
It's kind of minor, but it makes a huge difference. In Vic3 it feels like you have agency, and are always making decisions and balancing things
In EU5 I feel like I'm just waiting for X months to pass so I can do the next thing I wanna do, one after another
I think the single thing that makes Vic3 more fun to me than EU5 is that in EU5 you have to save up to buy a building, whereas in Vic3 it all just goes on your balance sheet based on the current cost of labor/construction goods
Fattar att folk alltid är engagerade och känsliga när det gäller barn, men att be om respekt och sans måste vara ömsesidigt
Går inte att föra dialog med någon som har en kör runt sig som KOKAR av hat och illvilja på det sättet
Tycker det är en obekväm dynamik man ser med större konton som uttalar sig kritiskt men ändå mer eller mindre respektfullt och nyanserat kring transfrågor
Some parts of 20,000 leagues under the sea are pretty cool and interesting, and then there are the parts where the author suddenly decides to spend two full pages listing the order, family, and genera of 500 molluscs, fish, and cetaceans
@laowaihistorian@DetRune@TrueSlazac@jeremykauffman You can't possibly assert that you or any of your ancestors have at any point been in full control of exactly who you would turn out to be, rather than it being a roll of several billion (more or less weighted) dice, most of which were rolled by other people
@eigenrobot Suppose there was a draft and he got sent to war and you were born an orphan
Suppose an economic crisis broke their mortgage budget, despite their buffers, leaving you to grow up in a low income neighborhood and a bad public school
@PiquantParvenu No matter how you slice it, in what world has Russia not burned every last bit of potential goodwill in Europe for the next several decades?
We've all followed the war and seen the massacres.
Russia had every opportunity for European friendship and opted for imperial expansion
Today is the Day of Remembrance and Victory over Nazism. The day when all of Europe marks the end of the most terrible war of the 20th century. A war after which there should have been only genuine peace. That was the dream back then, when the guns of World War II began to fall silent.
That war turned our land into a battlefield of brutal fighting, abuse in occupied territory, and the mass destruction of people and life. The losses of the Ukrainian people were among the greatest in World War II. And the contribution of Ukrainians to the defeat of the Nazis was also among the greatest. Millions of Ukrainians, serving in various armies of the Anti-Hitler Coalition states, fought against Nazism. Millions of Ukrainians were among the victors, having done everything in their power to ensure that absolute evil was defeated.
Unfortunately, 81 years later, we are once again forced to stop evil – evil that is just as absolute. Evil that brings nothing but ruins and abuse. And evil based on a similar ideology of enmity. An updated version of Nazism, marked: made in Russia.
Today, such Russian aggression can and must be defeated by the united free world. And I am grateful to everyone who helps us defend life. I am grateful to everyone who is not allowing this Russian regime to dictate to the world what comes next. Defending people’s lives and the freedom of nations from Putin is an absolutely dignified way to honor the memory of those who did not allow Hitler to subjugate Europe and the world.
Eternal gratitude to all who fought against Nazism and liberated people! Blessed memory to all innocent victims of World War II! Glory to every defender of life! Glory to Ukraine!
At 09:00 Swedish time, the Swedish Armed Forces' first military reconnaissance satellite was launched into space. The satellite means Sweden's defence is now operational in the space domain and gives it a sovereign national capability to detect and analyse threats globally.
