Arthritis, cannabis, communis.
All you say is true but not impossible to solve with adequate funding. I’d argue that Windows and Office is so user hostile these days that the barrier to entry is much lower than usual. Have you tried to save a file in Excel in the last year or so? It’s like Office Guantanamo and people are increasingly fed up
When evaluating Mutually Assured Destruction scenarios military must consider backup plan for what happens after we bomb ourselves back to Stone Age. Russia has much more capability to carry on due to size, low population density and being used to things being awful all around. They’re mad but they are also cold calculating bastards that they are probably estimating chances of Syberia / Arctic being habitable after bombs and global warming.
„What is the point of the world without Russia in it?” - Putin bluffed some time ago.
… does the Russian civilian population have any influence on Russian decision-making? Is there any point in running expensive PR-campaigns against them?
Never forget Stanislav Petrov. In the end it’s a human that needs to press the button, at least for now.
It really needs to be seen in person. I thought I’d only experience VB through emulation on 2D display but this translates really well.
3DS once again proves to be one of the most versatile Nintendo consoles around - official NES/GB emulation, native GBA support and ports from GameCube/Wii. It’s a shame they mostly do boring hardware these days.

This is an issue both sides will experience unfortunately even if Russia will have it much worse probably.
If we use competence as a measure of whether we can do something or not we wouldn’t get too far in Poland. It’s one of the reasons why I think people scared of sending troops to Ukraine should rethink that. How is an army supposed to get some real experience? Ukrainian and Russian armies are now trained through combat that we know very little about. I’d rather have our army train at the job far away from here. They are paid extremely well and it’s time to earn that.
A natural consequence of sharing a border with Russia. Inb4 critique from countries that do not share borders with genocidal regimes.
He is not functionally in charge right now anyway.
Trump has whims but Vance has plans which is way worse. Trump being incredibly incompetent is a saving grace in all of this mess. Imagine that US elected a professional autocrat like Orban - they’d be stuck in this for decades.
I’m fairly sure they are speaking of recognising territory belonging to a certain country. For example, US doesn’t recognise Palestine while plenty of the world does. Trump as a president can definitely shape US foreign policy like that.
[edit] I just realised the next step is Google Maps displaying that Crimea belongs to Russia for everyone regardless of location because that’s how US rolls these days lol.
And get Vance instead? If that’s not an insurance then I don’t know what is haha.
The sole fact that people looking for long term relationships resort to Tinder is an example of how underserved that market is, and that’s because there’s too little money to make there. It’s more profitable to string people along with subscriptions and buy competition just to turn them into more Tinder clones.
People still make families even if they don’t have children anymore. People are also more likely to have kids when their life is safe and stable and having a partner definitely helps.
I know this is my most crackpot take and I usually ease people into the concept by listing increasingly novel business types that need to be nationalised :P
I’m putting this in the air so that people can start thinking about what a modern services could be provided by a healthy social democratic system. If I can convince capitalists that nationalising card processing is beneficial to everyone then one day I’ll convince y’all Valve needs to be converted into a non-profit.
I wouldn’t give my data to a neoliberal government because that’s not that much different from giving it to Google but maybe one day, once the dust settles. I don’t want to live in this much anxiety and it seems to be an issue for you too.
When I got sick it took me a month to realise I might have had what my grandma had. That got scary for a moment because her tests were always normal and my whole family, myself included, thought she was a druggie. I got dead set on getting to the bottom of it and therefore got diagnosed in likely a record time despite being seronegative.
If you want to put a cherry on top then you can add referral to a psychologist in the last panel XD
It’s a small concession ahead of talks with Trump. This gesture has a monetary value and therefore a meaning.
You’re treating your government like it’s your enemy. If that’s the case then you should obviously focus on fixing whatever caused this. It’s worth it because when that’s done we can have governments providing public services again.
Those failed Linux moves happened because governments are cheap and defer entire digitisation to municipalities and other local forms of government. It’s like there’s no planning of anything anymore („free market will solve everything”). It sounds ridiculous but even effing North Korea knows better.
If they were serious about it they’d hire couple of dozen open source software contributors first, do a small scale trial run where you iron out the kinks and submit patches where necessary and only then roll this out to regular govt clerks.
You can’t expect projects running on a shoestring budget to provide you with commercial grade solutions. Of course if you hire a big corpo that will promise you everything above but those somehow always turn out to be scams.
Mine was 2018 and I’m still with that girl I met on Tinder. Most of my age group met their partners there but there’s also no denying those apps are losing relevance. They worked for a time (although they always sucked for men), that is until inevitable enshittification.
Baltics will have to do that on their porch probably. Poland has a pretty barren border with Russia and swamps/forests on the border with Belarus. The latter is more of an issue, people living there had their lives disturbed by constant military presence and Lukashenko was pushing migrants to us wholesale through there for years. Now they get mines too. This sucks all around so fuck Putin.
